Koninklijke Heijmans N.V. (AMS:HEIJM), is not the largest company out there, but it led the ENXTAM gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. While good news for shareholders, the company has traded much higher in the past year. Less-covered, small caps tend to present more of an opportunity for mispricing due to the lack of information available to the public, which can be a good thing. So, could the stock still be trading at a low price relative to its actual value? Let’s examine Koninklijke Heijmans’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.
What's The Opportunity In Koninklijke Heijmans?
According to our price multiple model, which makes a comparison between the company's price-to-earnings ratio and the industry average, the stock price seems to be justfied. In this instance, we’ve used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. We find that Koninklijke Heijmans’s ratio of 11.38x is trading slightly below its industry peers’ ratio of 12.92x, which means if you buy Koninklijke Heijmans today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that Koninklijke Heijmans should be trading at this level in the long run, then there’s not much of an upside to gain over and above other industry peers. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Koninklijke Heijmans’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 an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
