In this article:

Mastech Digital, Inc. (NYSEMKT:MHH), which is in the professional services business, and is based in United States, received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the AMEX over the last few months. Less-covered, small caps tend to present more of an opportunity for mispricing due to the lack of information available to the public, which can be a good thing. So, could the stock still be trading at a low price relative to its actual value? Let’s examine Mastech Digital’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Is Mastech Digital still cheap?

Great news for investors – Mastech Digital is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $15.19, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. Mastech Digital’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

What kind of growth will Mastech Digital generate?

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 revenues expected to grow by a double-digit 19% over the next couple of years, the outlook is positive for Mastech Digital. If the level of expenses is able to be maintained, 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 MHH is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With an optimistic 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 MHH for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy MHH. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed investment decision.
