EVT (ASX:EVT) Could Be 11% Undervalued Following Full Year Earnings And Dividend Lift

Simply Wall St · 4d ago

EVT (ASX:EVT) has drawn fresh attention after releasing its full year 2026 results, and has declared a dividend of A$0.23 per ordinary share with key dates in September.

EVT’s share price has moved to A$14.87, with a 30 day share price return of 13.34% and a 90 day share price return of 25.59%. The 1 year total shareholder return of 12.28% and 3 year total shareholder return of 38.07% suggest momentum has been building over time around the recent full year earnings and dividend announcement.

Scan how EVT compares with a hand picked 12 high quality undervalued stocks that also shows solid momentum around recent earnings and dividend news.

The recent jump in EVT, driven by stronger earnings and a higher dividend, has already rewarded holders. The key focus now is whether the current price still leaves meaningful upside on the table or instead fully reflects that good news.

Most Popular Narrative: 10.5% Undervalued

Against EVT’s last close at A$14.87, the most widely followed narrative points to a fair value of A$16.62, which frames the recent share price strength in a different light.

Analyst consensus expects capital unlocked from the 525 George Street divestment to be a driver of growth, but this may understate the potential for a material balance sheet transformation. A substantial proportion of EVT's A$2.3 billion property book is described as underutilized, and further recycling of these assets in addition to the 525 George Street transaction could provide capital for reinvestment at potentially higher returns. This is expected to support revenue and earnings expansion relative to current assumptions.

However, EVT’s story could change quickly if cinema admissions weaken further or if required capex near A$140 million to A$160 million places significant pressure on free cash flow.

Another View on EVT’s Valuation

The fair value narrative of A$16.62 suggests EVT is 10.5% undervalued, yet the current P/E of 47.6x tells a different story. That multiple is roughly double the estimated fair ratio of 23.6x and also well above peers at 24.8x and the global entertainment average of 16.4x. If the market eventually leans closer to that fair ratio, current buyers could be paying up for earnings that already assume a lot of good news. Which signal do you treat as more important: the narrative fair value or the high multiple on today’s earnings?
