Apollo Tourism & Leisure Ltd (ASX:ATL), which is in the auto business, and is based in Australia, saw significant share price movement during recent months on the ASX, rising to highs of A$1.01 and falling to the lows of A$0.35. 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 Apollo Tourism & Leisure's current trading price of A$0.36 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 Apollo Tourism & Leisure’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is Apollo Tourism & Leisure still cheap?

Good news, investors! Apollo Tourism & Leisure is still a bargain right now. 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 3.65x is currently well-below the industry average of 10.68x, meaning that it is trading at a cheaper price relative to its peers. Although, there may be another chance to buy again in the future. This is because Apollo Tourism & Leisure’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company’s shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.

What does the future of Apollo Tourism & Leisure look like?

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. Though in the case of Apollo Tourism & Leisure, it is expected to deliver a negative earnings growth of -7.7%, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. It appears that risk of future uncertainty is high, at least in the near term.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? Although ATL is currently undervalued, the negative outlook does bring on some uncertainty, which equates to higher risk. I recommend you think about whether you want to increase your portfolio exposure to ATL, or whether diversifying into another stock may be a better move for your total risk and return.
