What Is Novem Group Worth?

Good news, investors! Novem Group is still a bargain right now according to our price multiple model, which compares the company's price-to-earnings ratio to the industry average. In this instance, we’ve used the price-to-earnings (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. we find that Novem Group’s ratio of 7.22x is below its peer average of 9.31x, which indicates the stock is trading at a lower price compared to the Auto Components industry. What’s more interesting is that, Novem Group’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. 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.
