Should You Investigate Norcros plc (LON:NXR) At UK£2.09?
Norcros plc (LON:NXR), might not be a large cap stock, but it saw significant share price movement during recent months on the LSE, rising to highs of UK£2.65 and falling to the lows of UK£2.09. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Norcros' current trading price of UK£2.09 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 Norcros's outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.
Check out our latest analysis for Norcros
The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to our valuation model. It's trading around 0.5% below our intrinsic value, which means if you buy Norcros today, you'd be paying a fair price for it. And if you believe the company's true value is £2.10, then there's not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Norcros's share price is quite volatile, we could potentially see it sink lower (or rise higher) in the future, giving us another chance to buy. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.
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. Norcros' earnings over the next few years are expected to double, indicating a very optimistic future ahead. This should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.
Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in NXR's positive outlook, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven't considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value?
Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping tabs on NXR, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for the company, which means it's worth diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
With this in mind, we wouldn't consider investing in a stock unless we had a thorough understanding of the risks. Case in point: We've spotted 3 warning signs for Norcros you should be aware of.

TotalEnergies will be able to supply SAF more than 10% of the jet fuel volumes it will market in Europe, ahead of the European mandate set at 6% in 2030.

Sustainable aviation fuels are essential to bring the air industry's CO 2 emissions down immediately. Their development is fully aligned with our approach to get to net zero, together with society," said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TotalEnergies.

TotalEnergies has joined force with SARIA, the European leader in the collection and recovery of organic materials, which will supply the majority of the feedstock supply. The La Mède biorefinery: This year, La Mède will produce 15,000 tons of SAF for distribution to airports in the south of France. The Normandy refinery: TotalEnergies has begun coprocessing SAF at its Normandy platform. Coprocessing involves the treatment of both fossil jet fuel and biomass in a standard refining unit. The site's annual production capacity is 160,000 tons. The Antwerp refinery in Belgium: An initial project to coprocess 50,000 tons a year of SAF was launched this year.
