Is RHI Magnesita Still Cheap?
Great news for investors – RHI Magnesita is still trading at a fairly cheap price according to our price multiple model, where we compare the company's price-to-earnings ratio 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 9.96x is currently well-below the industry average of 33.87x, meaning that it is trading at a cheaper price relative to its peers. What’s more interesting is that, RHI Magnesita’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. 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.
