Is Now An Opportune Moment To Examine Baltic Classifieds Group PLC (LON:BCG)?
While Baltic Classifieds Group PLC (LON:BCG) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it led the LSE gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. With many analysts covering the stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s examine Baltic Classifieds Group’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Is Baltic Classifieds Group Still Cheap?
The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 14.24% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Baltic Classifieds Group today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is £1.85, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because Baltic Classifieds Group’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 kind of growth will Baltic Classifieds Group generate?
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. With profit expected to more than double over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Baltic Classifieds Group. 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? BCG’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 track record of its management team. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value?
Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on BCG, now may not be the most advantageous 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.
