What's The Opportunity In Kimlun Corporation Berhad?

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 17.49x is currently trading slightly above its industry peers’ ratio of 16.88x, which means if you buy Kimlun Corporation Berhad today, you’d be paying a relatively reasonable price for it. And if you believe Kimlun Corporation Berhad should be trading in this range, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond the levels of other industry peers over the long-term. Is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Kimlun Corporation Berhad’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.
