Is Sleep Country Canada Holdings still cheap?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my relative valuation model. I’ve used the price-to-earnings ratio in this instance because there’s not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows. The stock’s ratio of 11.96x is currently trading slightly above its industry peers’ ratio of 11.56x, which means if you buy Sleep Country Canada Holdings today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe Sleep Country Canada Holdings should be trading in this range, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Furthermore, it seems like Sleep Country Canada Holdings’s share price is quite stable, which means there may be less chances to buy low in the future now that it’s fairly valued. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.
