Elders
Overview: Elders Limited operates primarily in Australia, offering agricultural products and services to rural and regional customers, with a market capitalization of approximately A$1.33 billion.
Operations: The company generates revenue through three main segments: Branch Network (A$2.54 billion), Wholesale Products (A$341.19 million), and Feed and Processing Services (A$120.14 million).
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 48.5%
Elders Limited, currently trading at A$8.39, appears undervalued by more than 20%, with a calculated fair value of A$16.28 based on discounted cash flows. Despite a challenging year with net profit margins dropping from 3.4% to 2.1% and a significant earnings decline in the first half of 2024, Elders is forecasted to grow earnings by 22.8% annually over the next three years. However, its high level of debt and dividends not well covered by earnings pose risks that temper its attractiveness as an undervalued stock based on cash flows.
The growth report we've compiled suggests that Elders' future prospects could be on the up.

South32
Overview: South32 Limited is a diversified metals and mining company with operations across multiple countries including Australia, India, and the United States, and has a market capitalization of approximately A$17.37 billion.
Operations: South32's revenue is derived from various segments including Cannington with $588 million, Cerro Matoso at $541 million, Sierra Gorda generating $649 million, Brazil Alumina contributing $443 million, Mozal Aluminium at $801 million, Worsley Alumina with $1.36 billion, Hillside Aluminium producing $1.72 billion, Australia Manganese at $651 million, Brazil Aluminium (BA) contributing $210 million, South Africa Manganese with $321 million, and Illawarra Metallurgical Coal generating $1.36 billion.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 34%
South32, priced at A$3.85, is assessed below its fair value of A$5.84, reflecting a significant undervaluation based on discounted cash flows. The company's earnings are expected to rise substantially, with forecasts suggesting a 55.12% annual increase and profitability anticipated within three years. South32's revenue growth is also projected to outpace the Australian market average. However, its forecasted return on equity of 11.4% in three years indicates potential limitations in financial efficiency.
According our earnings growth report, there's an indication that South32 might be ready to expand.
