Aussie Broadband (ASX:ABB)

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: Aussie Broadband Limited offers telecommunications and technology services in Australia, with a market cap of A$1.11 billion.

Operations: The company's revenue is segmented into Business (A$96.97 million), Wholesale (A$159.73 million), Residential (A$585.07 million), Symbio Group (A$69.93 million), and Enterprise and Government (A$88.04 million).

Market Cap: A$1.11B

Aussie Broadband Limited, with a market cap of A$1.11 billion, has demonstrated significant revenue growth, reaching nearly A$1 billion in sales for the fiscal year ending June 2024. The company has improved its financial position from negative shareholder equity five years ago to positive now. However, challenges remain as short-term assets do not cover long-term liabilities and recent earnings were impacted by a large one-off loss of A$10.5 million. Despite these issues, the company's debt is well covered by operating cash flow and it trades at a substantial discount to its estimated fair value.
