Should You Think About Buying Mitek Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MITK) Now?

While Mitek Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MITK) might not have the largest market cap around , it received a lot of attention from a substantial price increase on the NASDAQCM over the last few months. The recent rally in share prices has nudged the company in the right direction, though it still falls short of its yearly peak. With many analysts covering the stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock's share price. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let's take a look at Mitek Systems's outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. Great news for investors – Mitek Systems is still trading at a fairly cheap price. Our valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $16.49, but it is currently trading at US$10.10 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Mitek Systems's beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company's shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity. View our latest analysis for Mitek Systems 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. 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 Mitek Systems, at least in the near future. Are you a shareholder? Although MITK is currently undervalued, the adverse prospect of negative growth brings about some degree of risk. We recommend you think about whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to MITK, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return. Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping tabs on MITK for some time, but hesitant on making the leap, we recommend you research further into the stock. Given its current undervaluation, now is a great time to make a decision. But keep in mind the risks that come with negative growth prospects in the future. So while earnings quality is important, it's equally important to consider the risks facing Mitek Systems at this point in time.
