What is Beijing Urban Construction Design & Development Group worth?

Good news, investors! Beijing Urban Construction Design & Development Group is still a bargain right now. I’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 4.77x is currently well-below the industry average of 11.46x, meaning that it is trading at a cheaper price relative to its peers. However, given that Beijing Urban Construction Design & Development Group’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.

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.

It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.
