Globetronics Technology Bhd. (KLSE:GTRONIC), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a decent share price growth of 16% on the KLSE over the last few months. While good news for shareholders, the company has traded much higher in the past year. With many analysts covering the stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s take a look at Globetronics Technology Bhd’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

Is Globetronics Technology Bhd Still Cheap?

The share price seems sensible at the moment according to our price multiple model, where we compare the company's price-to-earnings ratio to the industry average. In this instance, we’ve used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. We find that Globetronics Technology Bhd’s ratio of 34.13x is trading in-line with its industry peers’ ratio, which means if you buy Globetronics Technology Bhd today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Globetronics Technology Bhd’s share price is quite volatile, we could potentially see it sink lower (or rise higher) in the future, giving us another chance to buy. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.

Can we expect growth from Globetronics Technology Bhd?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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. Globetronics Technology Bhd's earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 43%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? GTRONIC’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around industry price multiples. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at GTRONIC? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuate below the industry PE ratio?
