Earnings History
Whenever I look at a stock I start with the earnings history. SIMO has a great earnings history with 4 beats in the last 4 quarters.
Over the course of those beats, the average positive earnings surprise works out to be 10%.
We like to see that as it tells us that management knows how to communicate to Wall Street where expectations should be.
Estimate Revisions
I see a lot of positive earnings estimate revisions for SIMO.
This quarter has increase from $0.63 to $0.70 over the last 60 days.
Next quarter has also moved higher from $0.61 to $0.68 over the same time period.
The full year 2020, which is over and just needs to be reported has inched higher to $3.08.
This year has moved from $3.08 to $3.29 over the time period that will impact the Zacks Rank... and that happens to be 60 days.
Valuation
In reporting 14% topline growth in the most recent quarter, the stock trades at 15x forward earnings. That is below the market multiple of around 18x. The price to book of 3x is right where value players will remain interested in the name as well.
Chart
Silicon Motion Technology Corporation Price and Consensus
Imagine getting in early on a young industry primed to skyrocket from $17.7 billion in 2019 to an expected $73.6 billion by 2027.
Although marijuana stocks did better as the pandemic took hold than the market as a whole, they’ve been pushed down. This is exactly the right time to get in on selected strong companies at a fraction of their value before COVID struck.
