What Is Reckon Limited’s (ASX:RKN) Share Price Doing?
Reckon Limited (ASX:RKN), which is in the software business, and is based in Australia, saw significant share price volatility over the past couple of months on the ASX, rising to the highs of A$0.97 and falling to the lows of A$0.70. This high level of volatility gives investors the opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at an artificially low price. A question to answer is whether Reckon’s current trading price of A$0.74 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 Reckon’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What is Reckon worth?
According to my valuation model, the stock is currently overvalued by about 25.51%, trading at AU$0.74 compared to my intrinsic value of A$0.59. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. In addition to this, it seems like Reckon’s share price is quite stable, which could mean two things: firstly, it may take the share price a while to fall back down to an attractive buying range, and secondly, there may be less chances to buy low in the future once it reaches that value. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.
What does the future of Reckon look like?
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. Reckon’s earnings over the next few years are expected to double, indicating a very optimistic future ahead. This should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in RKN’s positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe RKN 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 tabs on RKN for some time, 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 optimistic prospect is encouraging for RKN, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
