Why The Reject Shop Limited (ASX:TRS) Could Be A Buy

The Reject Shop Limited (ASX:TRS), a retailing company based in Australia, saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the ASX. 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 TRS’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity. Check out our latest analysis for Reject Shop

What is TRS worth?

My valuation model shows that the stock’s value should be $0.04 but it is currently trading at $4.21 on the share market, meaning that the opportunity to buy TRS at a good price has disappeared! Another thing to keep in mind is that TRS’s share price is quite stable relative to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. This means that if you believe the current share price should move towards its intrinsic value over time, a low beta could suggest it is not likely to reach that level anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range again.

Can we expect growth from TRS?

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.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. TRS’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 27.64%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust 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 TRS’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 TRS 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 TRS 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 positive outlook is encouraging for TRS, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
