What's the opportunity in TROV?

According to my relative valuation model, TROV seems to be currently fairly priced. In this instance, I’ve used the price-to-book (PB) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows, and its earnings doesn’t seem to reflect its true value. I find that TROV’s ratio of 6.2x is trading slightly below its industry peers’ ratio of 7.3x, which means if you buy TROV today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe that TROV should be trading at this level in the long run, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. In addition to this, it seems like TROV’s share price is quite stable, which could mean there may be less chances to buy low in the future now that it’s fairly valued. This is because TROV’s stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.
