What's The Opportunity In SSP Group?

According to our valuation model, SSP Group seems to be fairly priced at around 9.40% above our intrinsic value, which means if you buy SSP Group today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is £1.56, then there isn’t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that SSP Group’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
