When Should You Buy ENF Technology Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ:102710)?

ENF Technology Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ:102710), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the KOSDAQ, rising to highs of ₩52,500 and falling to the lows of ₩39,750. 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 ENF Technology's current trading price of ₩42,450 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 ENF Technology’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 ENF Technology?

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 11.8x is currently trading slightly below its industry peers’ ratio of 16.09x, which means if you buy ENF Technology today, you’d be paying a decent price for it. And if you believe that ENF Technology 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 ENF Technology’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.

Can we expect growth from ENF Technology?

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. However, with a relatively muted revenue growth of 5.9% expected over the next couple of years, growth doesn’t seem like a key driver for a buy decision for ENF Technology, at least in the short term.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in A102710’s growth outlook, with shares trading around industry price multiples. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at A102710? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below the industry PE ratio?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on A102710, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around industry price multiples. However, the positive growth outlook may mean it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
