Celebrus Applied sciences (LSE:CLBS) and Yü Group (LSE:YU) are two low cost shares with very completely different trajectories. The previous’s buying and selling at a five-year low after failing to really seize the curiosity of buyers. The latter’s surged 1,540% over 5 years however truly stays flat over the previous two months.

Nevertheless, they’re each constituents of the Different Funding Market (AIM) and I imagine they’re each wanting fairly low cost for the time being.

Celebrus is cash-rich

Celebrus seems to supply sturdy worth at present ranges. The ahead price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio’s simply 8.2 instances, and the ahead EV-to-EBITDA’s 5 instances, each of that are enticing in comparison with typical software program sector multiples. Notably, internet money represents about half of the corporate’s market capitalisation, offering a big margin of security and monetary flexibility.

Whereas the newest outcomes disillusioned on income, earnings held up nicely, demonstrating operational resilience and value management. This mix of low valuation multiples, a sturdy stability sheet, and earnings stability — even within the face of softer top-line progress —suggests the market could also be undervaluing Celebrus’ long-term potential.

The corporate’s potential to generate stable EBITDA and keep profitability, alongside a wholesome dividend yield, at the moment at 2.1%, additional helps the view that Celebrus is sweet worth for buyers searching for each progress and draw back safety.

Dangers? Nicely, the corporate’s pointed to rising uncertainty in geopolitics as a motive for slowing gross sales. This pattern might want to reverse so as to regain investor confidence.

Extra cash at Yü Group

Yü Group doubtlessly has an much more compelling valuation. The ahead P/E ratios for 2025 and 2026 are 7.39 instances and 6.96 instances respectively. That’s nicely under sector averages.

Dividend per share is forecast to rise from 71.3p in 2024 to 83.6p in 2025, 89.4p in 2026, and 94p in 2027, with yields climbing from 3.3% to five.1% through the interval. This demonstrates a transparent dedication to shareholder returns.

Crucially, Yü Group’s internet money place’s distinctive. Internet money is predicted to achieve £116.5m in 2025, £141.9m in 2026, and £165.3m in 2027. With a market-cap of £261m, it’s price recognising fairly how giant these figures are. It additionally gives some safety in opposition to any depreciation.

Whereas the corporate’s valuation has grown quickly, the ahead EV-to-EBITDA a number of falls from 4.7 instances in 2024 to simply 3.3 instances in 2025 and a pair of.7 instances in 2026, reflecting each earnings progress and the rising money pile.

After all, there are dangers. This consists of the corporate’s publicity to vitality price volatility. Whereas the corporate employs hedging and by-product devices to handle this threat, hostile actions or ineffective hedging might influence profitability.

Nevertheless, sturdy free money circulation yields and a confirmed progress trajectory, Yü Group stands out as a high-quality, cash-rich progress inventory. It additionally seems to be buying and selling at a reduction to its fundamentals.

Personally, I believe each are worthy of consideration. Celebrus is now a part of my portfolio. I’ll look so as to add Yü Group as nicely.
