Most Popular Narrative: 10.6% Undervalued
The most followed narrative on Service Stream pegs fair value at A$2.88 per share, slightly above the latest A$2.57 close, and anchors that view in long term infrastructure work.
Record-high contract wins and a $7.6 billion (potentially $12.6 billion including extensions) work-in-hand position massively enhance forward revenue visibility, underpinned by long-term, lower-risk operations and maintenance agreements in critical infrastructure. This positions Service Stream to potentially benefit from rising government and private investment in infrastructure renewal, climate resilience, and population-driven upgrades (future potential: revenue and earnings growth).
See how this large contracted backlog is expected to feed into revenue, earnings and margins over time. The key building blocks of this fair value estimate may surprise you.
The narrative applies an 8.9% discount rate to projected cash flows, with assumptions around moderate revenue changes, improving profitability and a future earnings multiple that is lower than today but still above the broader market.
Result: Fair Value of A$2.88 (UNDERVALUED)
