Qualitas (ASX:QAL)

Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Qualitas operates as a real estate investment firm, engaging in direct investments across various real estate classes and locations, acquisitions and restructuring of distressed debt, capital raising for third parties, and consulting services, with a market capitalization of approximately A$679.19 million.

Operations: The company generates revenue through two primary segments: Direct Lending, which brought in A$27.58 million, and Funds Management, contributing A$19.32 million.

Insider Ownership: 27.1%

Qualitas Limited, with high insider ownership, is poised for robust growth, forecasting a 25.12% annual increase in earnings and a 15.4% rise in revenue, outpacing the Australian market's average. Despite this promising outlook, its dividend sustainability is questionable due to poor earnings coverage and an expected low return on equity of 9.3% in three years. Recent developments include the departure of director Michael Schoenfeld on June 30, 2024, which could impact governance dynamics.
