Is It Time To Consider Buying Sylogist Ltd. (TSE:SYZ)?

While Sylogist Ltd. (TSE:SYZ) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the TSX 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 Sylogist’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

What Is Sylogist Worth?

Good news, investors! Sylogist is still a bargain right now. According to my valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is CA$10.81, which is above what the market is valuing the company at the moment. This indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. Another thing to keep in mind is that Sylogist’s share price may be 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.

What kind of growth will Sylogist generate?

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 the company's future expectations. However, with an extremely negative double-digit change in profit expected next year, near-term growth is certainly not a driver of a buy decision. It seems like high uncertainty is on the cards for Sylogist, at least in the near future.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Although SYZ is currently undervalued, the negative outlook does bring on some uncertainty, which equates to higher risk. Consider whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to SYZ, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return.
