Sportech PLC (LON:SPO), is not the largest company out there, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the AIM over the last few months, increasing to UK£1.93 at one point, and dropping to the lows of UK£0.95. 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 Sportech's current trading price of UK£0.97 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 Sportech’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What's The Opportunity In Sportech?
The stock is currently trading at UK£0.97 on the share market, which means it is overvalued by 24% compared to my intrinsic value of £0.78. Not the best news for investors looking to buy! But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Given that Sportech’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 Sportech 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. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company's future expectations. However, with a relatively muted revenue growth of 6.5% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for Sportech, at least in the short term.
What This Means For You
Are you a shareholder? SPO’s future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe SPO should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on SPO for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing. However, the positive outlook means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
