Is It Too Late To Buy Enghouse Systems Limited (TSX:ENGH)?

Enghouse Systems Limited (TSX:ENGH), a software and services company based in Canada, saw significant share price volatility over the past couple of months on the TSX, rising to the highs of $55.1 and falling to the lows of $49.63. 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 ENGH's current trading price of $52.12 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 ENGH’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change. See our latest analysis for ENGH

What's the opportunity in ENGH?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 18% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy ENGH today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe ENGH’s true value is $63.9, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Furthermore, it seems like ENGH’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 ENGH’s stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.
