Should You Investigate Staffline Group plc (LON:STAF) At UK£0.38?

Staffline Group plc (LON:STAF), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the AIM, rising to highs of UK£0.47 and falling to the lows of UK£0.37. 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 Staffline Group's current trading price of UK£0.38 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 Staffline Group’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What Is Staffline Group Worth?

According to my valuation model, Staffline Group seems to be fairly priced at around 8.7% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Staffline Group today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth £0.42, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because Staffline Group’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company’s shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.
