While SüSS MicroTec SE (ETR:SMHN) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the XTRA, rising to highs of €25.00 and falling to the lows of €19.70. 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 SüSS MicroTec's current trading price of €21.65 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 SüSS MicroTec’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What Is SüSS MicroTec Worth?

According to my valuation model, SüSS MicroTec seems to be fairly priced at around 13.36% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy SüSS MicroTec today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth €19.10, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that SüSS MicroTec’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 SüSS MicroTec?

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 39% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for SüSS MicroTec. 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? SMHN’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. 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 the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on SMHN, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for the company, which means it’s worth further examining other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
