Is It The Right Time To Buy Entertainment One Ltd (LSE:ETO)?

Entertainment One Ltd (LSE:ETO), a media company based in Canada, saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the LSE over the last few months. With many analysts covering the stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy? Let’s examine ETO’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity. See our latest analysis for ETO

What’s the opportunity in ETO?

According to my valuation model, ETO seems to be fairly priced at around 4% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy ETO today, you’d be paying a fair price for it. And if you believe ETO’s true value is £2.88, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Furthermore, ETO’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. This may mean it is less likely for ETO to fall lower from natural market volatility, which suggests less opportunities to buy moving forward.

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. 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 ETO future expectations. With profit expected to more than double over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for ETO. It looks like higher cash flows is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in ETO’s positive outlook, 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 ETO? 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 tabs on ETO, 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 ETO, 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.
