AusQuest Limited (AQD) Fair Value & Analysis
Basic Materials · AU · Market cap A$65.7M
Fair value as of: Jul 18, 2026
From 3 valuation models · updated 23 days ago
Share price +9.5% over the past month.
Below-average quality, and screening another 45% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (A$0.0272). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (22/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
- The models converge in a tight band (A$0.0238 to A$0.0272), unusually little disagreement for a valuation.

How to read this chart
60‑month range A$0.0077 – A$0.0800 · fair‑value band A$0.0238 – A$0.0272 · the A$0.0460 price screens above the A$0.0255 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 18, 2026.
Analysis
AusQuest Limited (AQD) currently trades at A$0.0460, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is A$0.0255, implying the stock looks roughly 44.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 22/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: low).
Trailing-twelve-month revenue stands at A$548K. Revenue grew 37.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -14.9%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of A$7.2M. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from A$0.0238 (bear case) to A$0.0272 (bull case); at A$0.0460, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 43% below its 52-week high and 44% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -34% fair-value upside, at -45%, AQD screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 3 models by family
Widest divergence: Dividend Discount (A$0.0200) versus Asset-Based (A$0.0100). Highest evidence: Gordon GGM (70).

A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
