While Nabaltec AG (ETR:NTG) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the XTRA, rising to highs of €21.20 and falling to the lows of €17.35. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Nabaltec's current trading price of €17.40 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Nabaltec’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is Nabaltec Still Cheap?
Good news, investors! Nabaltec is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is €21.96, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. However, given that Nabaltec’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
What kind of growth will Nabaltec generate?
Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. However, with a negative profit growth of -13% expected over the next couple of years, near-term growth certainly doesn’t appear to be a driver for a buy decision for Nabaltec. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.
What This Means For You
Are you a shareholder? Although NTG is currently undervalued, the adverse prospect of negative growth brings about some degree of risk. I recommend you think about whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to NTG, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on NTG for a while, but hesitant on making the leap, I recommend you dig deeper into the stock. Given its current undervaluation, now is a great time to make a decision. But keep in mind the risks that come with negative growth prospects in the future.
