What Is MAAS Group Holdings Limited's (ASX:MGH) Share Price Doing?

MAAS Group Holdings Limited (ASX:MGH), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the ASX. With many analysts covering the stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Today I will analyse the most recent data on MAAS Group Holdings’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists.

What Is MAAS Group Holdings Worth?

According to my 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. 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 13.15x is currently trading slightly below its industry peers’ ratio of 16.17x, which means if you buy MAAS Group Holdings today, you’d be paying a decent price for it. And if you believe that MAAS Group Holdings 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. In addition to this, it seems like MAAS Group Holdings’s share price is quite stable, which could mean there may be less chances to buy low in the future now that it’s trading around the price multiples of other industry peers. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? MGH’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around industry price multiples. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the track record of its management team. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at MGH? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuate below the industry PE ratio?
