Is It Time To Consider Buying The SimplyBiz Group plc (LON:SBIZ)?

The SimplyBiz Group plc (LON:SBIZ), which is in the professional services business, and is based in United Kingdom, received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the AIM over the last few months. As a small cap stock, hardly covered by any analysts, there is generally more of an opportunity for mispricing as there is less activity to push the stock closer to fair value. Is there still an opportunity here to buy? Let’s examine SimplyBiz Group’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What is SimplyBiz Group worth?

According to my valuation model, the stock is currently overvalued by about 25%, trading at UK£1.68 compared to my intrinsic value of £1.35. Not the best news for investors looking to buy! But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Given that SimplyBiz Group’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 another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

Can we expect growth from SimplyBiz Group?

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company's future expectations. SimplyBiz Group’s revenue growth are expected to be in the teens in the upcoming years, indicating a solid future ahead. Unless expenses grow at the same level, or higher, this top-line growth should lead to robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? SBIZ’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe SBIZ should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on SBIZ for a while, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for SBIZ, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
