Computershare’s share price has risen strongly over the past five years, yet the current A$40.76 level still sits below an intrinsic value estimate from a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model that points to the stock trading at a sizeable discount, while earnings-based multiples look closer to fair. Computershare has returned 184.9% over the past 5 years, which means anyone looking at the stock today is weighing up whether that strong run has already captured most of the value. The company’s...

When money markets and bond yields feel less generous, undervalued stocks based on cash flows can look more attractive. This article highlights three stocks from the SWS DCF screener that appear to trade below estimated fair value. The three stocks below are just a starting sample. The full SWS DCF screen surfaces 39 more...

Central banks from Norway to Australia are keeping policy tight because inflation pressures remain sticky. That keeps money expensive and forces companies to prove their value. In this kind of market, investors often look for clear growth stories such as artificial intelligence, where demand for chips, cloud and AI software is still a key talking point. This article highlights three AI stocks from our screener that stand out. The three stocks below are only a sample from this theme, and the...

Bravura Solutions walked into this earnings season with a reputation as a software stock on a low P/E and strong reported profit growth. The share price has backed that up, closing at A$3.52 after a powerful run over the past three months. The headline this time is margin, not hype. Cash earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation hit A$77.1m with a 27.3% margin, supported by a 39% net profit margin over the past year. For you, the real question now is whether that richer...

EBR Systems walked into this result with a bruised share price over the past three months and a market that has been sceptical of story stocks. Yet the stock sits at just A$0.30, while the company is now posting quarterly revenue above US$2.6 million and carrying a high price to sales multiple against peers. That clash between a low absolute share price and a rich revenue multiple is the real headline today. The market is trying to decide whether fast top line growth justifies the valuation...

AGL Energy walked into this result priced like a problem stock, with a trailing P/E of 7.8x and the shares at A$8.71 despite a discounted cash flow estimate almost double that. The market has been treating the 12 month earnings outlook as the dominant story. Yet the headline from these numbers is different. Underlying net profit after tax of A$631m, supported by 97% cash conversion and a fully franked A$0.50 dividend for FY26, indicates that cash and profits are holding up better than...

The market came into today already cool on Dexus Industria REIT. The stock is down about 3% over the past week and 2% over the past month, even before investors had fully processed the latest numbers. The earnings headline is simple and uncomfortable. Funds From Operations, the key cash earnings metric for a REIT, comfortably met upgraded guidance. However, the payout ratio sat at roughly 94% and free cash flow cover of that 7.03% yield remained tight. Sentiment is reacting less to the FFO...

On 12 August 2026, activist investor Elliott Investment Management, which holds about 5.6% of Northern Star Resources, publicly urged the company’s board to undertake a comprehensive overhaul, including adding its proposed independent director candidates and conducting an objective strategic and operational review to address what it called years of execution and governance failures. The activism introduces potential for significant changes in Northern Star’s leadership and oversight just as...

The A$2.5b government backed power deal for Rio Tinto’s Tomago smelter has not just steadied one industrial giant. It has also fired up expectations for the renewable energy capacity that will be needed to supply Tomago with 100% renewables by 2033. For investors, that kind of long term demand story can be hard to ignore. This article looks at 3 stocks that appear well placed to be exposed to this news. The three stocks in this article are just a starting sample, since the full screen...

The market came into this result already on the back foot with Insurance Australia Group shares down about 8% over the past week and 6% over the past month. Today the stock is trading against a set of earnings that put one issue front and centre for insurers. Margins are under pressure. Underlying insurance profit sits at about A$1.58b on roughly A$19.2b of premiums, while the trailing net profit margin sits near 5%. The market appears to be fixated on that squeeze. The key question for...

Aura Consolidated Group stock closed at A$3.07 on Thursday after a tough month that left shares down about 39% over 30 days. That price action sits awkwardly next to an earnings print that showed revenue of US$119.94m for the half year and a smaller loss per share than a year ago. The short term chart reflects worry about cash and liquidity. The longer term story hinges on whether Aura Consolidated Group can convert its current revenue base and forecast growth into sustainable profits before...

Suncorp Group heads into the post earnings trade with the stock at A$19.81 after a solid run over the past quarter, yet the real story sits in the income statement. Cash earnings of about A$1.04b and an underlying insurance trading ratio near the top of the 10% to 12% target band give a clearer read on the underwriting engine than the share price flicker. For long term holders, the sharper question is whether that earnings quality and capital discipline justify paying a P/E of 20.4x. The rest...

The market had already cooled on Commonwealth Bank of Australia coming into these results, with the stock roughly flat over 30 days and slightly weaker over the past week around A$169. Yet the earnings headline tells a more confident story. Cash net profit after tax for FY26 rose 7% and the group kept its net profit margin high at 37.2%. At the same time the stock trades on a P/E of 25.9x, well above local and global banking peers. That tension between strong profitability and a premium...

SEEK walked into this result with the stock under pressure, down nearly 9.5% over the past week and flat over the past month as investors questioned how much profit the online jobs leader could really squeeze from softer hiring conditions. The headline today is that profits are the weak spot. Over the trailing 12 months SEEK reported a net loss of A$306.5m, even as net revenue and free cash flow moved higher and the company kept funding a full dividend. Love SEEK's revenue and free cash flow...

Telstra Group walked into this result with the stock under pressure, down about 10% over three months and closing today at A$4.84. The market has been treating the stock like a plodder. The earnings print told a different story with cash earnings per share up to A$0.255 and underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and leases at A$8.3b. For a mature telecom operator that is a powerful earnings trend. The board backed it with a higher A$0.21 full year dividend and a...

Energy driven inflation remains a key focus for central banks in Europe, which keeps attention on how countries source reliable power.

This article walks through three nuclear energy stocks from our screener that stand out for further research. The three nuclear energy stocks highlighted below are only a starting sample, and...

Telstra has just reported a A$2.4b profit and kept its 21c dividend, yet the share price still slipped on outage worries and boardroom optics. That mix of solid cash flow, network strain and public scrutiny often pushes telcos to rethink how much they spend on towers, fibre and data centres. This article unpacks three stocks exposed to those capital expenditure decisions and how that news backdrop might matter for your portfolio. The three stocks below are just a starting sample, and the full...

The Australian share market is showing signs of a soft opening, with S&P/ASX 200 futures down slightly, reflecting broader global economic trends and cautious investor sentiment.
