What’s the opportunity in Supreme Infrastructure India?

According to my relative valuation model, the stock seems to be currently fairly priced. In this instance, I’ve used the price-to-book (PB) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows, and its earnings doesn’t seem to reflect its true value. I find that Supreme Infrastructure India’s ratio of 0.54x is trading slightly below its industry peers’ ratio of 1.96x, which means if you buy Supreme Infrastructure India today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe Supreme Infrastructure India should be trading in this range, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Supreme Infrastructure India’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.

Valuation is only one aspect of forming your investment views on Supreme Infrastructure India. Another thing to consider is whether it is actually a high-quality company. The best type of investment is always in a great company, producing robust returns at a cheap price.

Not a very compelling case to buy right now given the uncertainty around profitability.
