Overview: Australian Ethical Investment Ltd is a publicly owned investment manager with a market cap of A$687.32 million, focusing on ethical and sustainable investment options.
Operations: The company's revenue primarily comes from its funds management segment, generating A$110.80 million.
Australian Ethical Investment, a nimble player in the market, has demonstrated robust growth with earnings rising 24.6% over the past year, surpassing industry benchmarks. Despite a significant A$8.4 million one-off loss impacting recent results, the company remains debt-free and continues to generate positive free cash flow. The integration of Altius Asset Management added A$1.93 billion in assets under management, likely boosting revenue potential through scale efficiencies and enhanced capabilities.

Alkane Resources, a notable player in Australia's mining sector, showcases a robust growth trajectory with earnings surging by 47% over the past year, outpacing the industry average of 14%. Despite being debt-free now compared to a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.3 five years ago, it trades at an impressive 87% below its estimated fair value. Recent financial results highlight significant progress; third-quarter sales jumped to A$63.2 million from A$30.46 million last year, while net income reached A$8.1 million versus a previous loss of A$2 million.
