At NZ$5.00, Is It Time To Put EROAD Limited (NZSE:ERD) On Your Watch List?

EROAD Limited (NZSE:ERD), might not be a large cap stock, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NZSE over the last few months, increasing to NZ$6.35 at one point, and dropping to the lows of NZ$5.00. 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 EROAD's current trading price of NZ$5.00 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 EROAD’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What's the opportunity in EROAD?

Good news, investors! EROAD is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is NZ$6.89, but it is currently trading at NZ$5.00 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because EROAD’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.

What does the future of EROAD look like?

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. With profit expected to grow by 96% over the next year, the near-term future seems bright for EROAD. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Since ERD is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on ERD for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy ERD. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed buy.
