75% margins behind A$40.97m net income
- Over the last 12 months, Djerriwarrh Investments generated A$40.97 million of net income on A$54.63 million of revenue, which lines up with the reported 75% net profit margin.
- What stands out for a generally bullish view is that this high margin sits alongside only 4.6% earnings growth year over year, so:
- Bulls pointing to quality and stability can lean on the consistently high margin, which moved from 73.8% to 75% on the latest figures.
- At the same time, the modest 4.6% earnings growth compared with the 0.5% five year average keeps expectations grounded rather than pointing to rapid expansion.
Half year EPS stays around A$0.08
- Across the last three half year periods, basic EPS moved between A$0.067 and A$0.081, with FY 2026 first half at A$0.0787, FY 2025 second half at A$0.0674, and FY 2025 first half at A$0.0814.
- Bears who question the strength of Djerriwarrh Investments' growth story can point to this tight EPS range, yet:
- The trailing twelve month EPS of A$0.1559 is higher than the individual half year points, which reflects the full period rather than any one softer half.
- Revenue over those three halves stayed within A$24.84 million to A$26.72 million, so the EPS pattern is being set against relatively steady top line levels rather than big swings.
P/E of 18.8x versus DCF fair value
- The stock trades on a P/E of 18.8x at a share price of A$2.93, below the Australian capital markets industry average of 20.2x and the peer average of 29x. A DCF fair value of about A$0.71 sits well below the current price.
- For a more cautious narrative, critics highlight the tension between these valuation signals:
- The below industry and peer P/E can support the idea that Djerriwarrh Investments is not priced at a premium relative to earnings compared with many listed peers.
- However, the DCF comparison indicating the share price is higher than the modelled cash flow value, alongside a 5.29% dividend yield that is not well covered by free cash flow, keeps valuation and cash coverage as key watchpoints.
