Valuation Methodology: EV/Sales Multiple Based Relative Valuation (Illustrative)

Stock Recommendation:

The stock of DGL gave a negative return of ~22.31% in the past month. The stock is currently trading slightly higher than the 52-weeks average price level band of $1.140 - $4.490, manifesting an accumulation opportunity. The stock has been valued using the EV/Sales multiple-based illustrative relative valuation method and arrived at a target price with an upside of low double-digit (in percentage terms). Considering the pricing benefits, integrated acquisitions, and organic growth, the company might trade at a slight premium to its peers’ EV/Sales multiple average. For valuation, a few peers like Secos Group Ltd (ASX: SES), Clover Corporation Ltd (ASX: CLV), Incitec Pivot Ltd (ASX: IPL) and others have been considered. Given the decent trail of financial performance, scalability benefits, favourable trading environment, current trading levels, upside indicated by valuation, and key risks associated with the business, we give a “Speculative Buy” recommendation on the stock at the closing market price of $2.890, up by ~0.696% as of 1 June 2022.

Markets are trading in a highly volatile zone currently due to certain macro-economic and geopolitical tensions prevailing. Therefore, it is prudent to follow a cautious approach while investing.
