What's The Opportunity In NORMA Group?
NORMA Group is currently expensive based on our price multiple model, where we look at the company's price-to-earnings ratio in comparison to the industry average. We’ve used the price-to-earnings ratio in this instance because there’s not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows. The stock’s ratio of 22.59x is currently well-above the industry average of 17.34x, meaning that it is trading at a more expensive price relative to its peers. But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since NORMA Group’s share price is quite volatile, this could mean it can sink lower (or rise even further) in the future, giving us another chance to invest. 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.

What This Means For You
Are you a shareholder? NOEJ’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above industry price multiples. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell?

But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.
