We're going to check out a few of the best picks from our screener tool.
DroneShield
Overview: DroneShield Limited is a company that focuses on the development, commercialization, and sale of drone detection and security technology in Australia and the United States, with a market capitalization of approximately A$1.98 billion.
Operations: DroneShield's revenue primarily stems from the aerospace and defense sector, totaling A$55.08 million.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 47.4%
DroneShield, trading at A$2.60, significantly below our fair value estimate of A$4.95, appears undervalued based on discounted cash flows. Recent equity offerings raised over A$190 million, potentially diluting shareholders but also fueling growth. Despite a low forecasted return on equity of 16.9% in three years, earnings and revenue are expected to grow robustly by 43.25% and 33% per year respectively—outpacing the Australian market significantly.
Mineral Resources
Overview: Mineral Resources Limited is a mining services company operating across Australia, Asia, and internationally, with a market capitalization of approximately A$11.28 billion.
Operations: The company generates revenue from three primary segments: lithium (A$1.60 billion), iron ore (A$2.50 billion), and mining services (A$2.82 billion).
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 40.5%
Mineral Resources, priced at A$57.65, is valued well below our fair value estimate of A$96.97, indicating significant undervaluation based on discounted cash flows. While the company's profit margins have dipped from 16.3% to 7.9%, its earnings are expected to surge by 30.89% annually, outperforming the Australian market projection of 12.9%. However, its ability to cover interest payments with earnings is weak, suggesting some financial strain despite robust growth forecasts and a strong projected return on equity of 25.5%.
