What Is TVA Group Worth?

According to my price multiple model, which makes a comparison between the company's price-to-earnings ratio and the industry average, the stock price seems to be justfied. I’ve used the price-to-earnings ratio in this instance because there’s not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows. The stock’s ratio of 5.84x is currently trading slightly below its industry peers’ ratio of 6.56x, which means if you buy TVA Group today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that TVA Group should be trading at this level in the long run, then there’s not much of an upside to gain over and above other industry peers. Furthermore, TVA Group’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. This may mean it is less likely for the stock to fall lower from natural market volatility, which suggests less opportunities to buy moving forward.

Can we expect growth from TVA Group?

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. 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 expected decline of -6.8% in revenues over the next year, short term growth isn’t a driver for a buy decision for TVA Group. This certainty tips the risk-return scale towards higher risk.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? TVA.B seems priced close to industry peers right now, but given the uncertainty from negative returns in the future, this could be the right time to de-risk your portfolio. Is your current exposure to the stock optimal for your total portfolio? And is the opportunity cost of holding a negative-outlook stock too high? Before you make a decision on TVA.B, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on TVA.B for a while, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around industry price multiples.
