System1, Inc. (NYSE:SST), is not the largest company out there, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NYSE over the last few months, increasing to US$1.17 at one point, and dropping to the lows of US$0.76. 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 System1's current trading price of US$0.76 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 System1’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is System1 Still Cheap?
According to our valuation model, System1 seems to be fairly priced at around 15.55% above our intrinsic value, which means if you buy System1 today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is $0.66, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since System1’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 System1?
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. However, with a relatively muted revenue growth of 0.6% expected in the upcoming year, short term growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for System1.
What This Means For You
Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in SST’s future outlook, with shares trading around its fair value. 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 the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on SST, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
