Here's a peek at a few of the choices from the screener.

Elders (ASX:ELD)

Overview: Elders Limited is a company that offers agricultural products and services mainly to rural and regional areas in Australia, with a market capitalization of approximately A$1.46 billion.

Operations: The company generates revenue through its Branch Network (A$2.54 billion), Wholesale Products (A$341.19 million), and Feed and Processing Services (A$120.14 million).

Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 43.3%

Elders Limited, currently trading at A$9.24, is valued below our estimated fair value of A$16.28, indicating a potential undervaluation based on discounted cash flow analysis. Despite this, challenges persist as the dividend yield of 3.9% is poorly supported by earnings, and profit margins have decreased from last year's 3.4% to 2.1%. Nevertheless, Elders anticipates significant earnings growth over the next three years at an annual rate of 22.8%, outpacing the Australian market forecast of 13.2%.

Kelsian Group (ASX:KLS)

Overview: Kelsian Group Limited operates in the provision of land and marine transport and tourism services across Australia, the United States, Singapore, and the United Kingdom, with a market capitalization of approximately A$1.35 billion.

Operations: The company's revenue is divided into three primary segments: Australian Bus operations generating A$934.76 million, International Bus services contributing A$448.87 million, and Marine and Tourism activities accounting for A$337.90 million.

Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 22.6%

Kelsian Group Limited, priced at A$5.01, is trading significantly below our fair value estimate of A$6.47, reflecting a notable undervaluation based on discounted cash flow metrics. Despite this potential for price appreciation, the company's financial health raises concerns; interest payments are poorly covered by earnings and its dividend yield of 3.49% is similarly unsupported by free cash flows. Additionally, while Kelsian's revenue growth projections are modest at 5.6% annually, its earnings are expected to surge by 25.53% per year over the next three years, outperforming the broader Australian market forecast of 13.2%. However, current profit margins have declined to 1.7%, down from last year’s 3.8%.

Nanosonics (ASX:NAN)

Overview: Nanosonics Limited, along with its subsidiaries, is an infection prevention company operating both in Australia and internationally, with a market capitalization of approximately A$909 million.

Operations: The company generates its revenue primarily from the healthcare equipment segment, totaling A$164.07 million.

Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 42.5%

Nanosonics, currently priced at A$3, is valued below our calculated fair value of A$5.21, indicating a potential undervaluation based on discounted cash flow analysis. The company's earnings have increased by 53.2% over the past year and are projected to grow by 22.6% annually over the next three years, outpacing the Australian market's forecast growth. Despite these positives, significant insider selling in recent months and a forecasted low return on equity of 12.4% in three years may raise concerns for potential investors.
