Analysis
Charter Hall Social Infrastructure REIT (CQE) currently trades at A$2.74, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is A$2.26, implying the stock looks roughly 17.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 69/100 (solid quality), in the Real Estate 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: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Charter Hall Social Infrastructure REIT generated revenue of A$133M at a net margin of 65.5%. Revenue grew 6.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.1%. Net debt stands at A$642M. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from A$1.54 (bear case) to A$2.69 (bull case); at A$2.74, 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 18% below its 52-week high and 14% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Real Estate peers we cover trades at -50% fair-value upside, at -18%, CQE screens cheaper 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 16 models by family
Widest divergence: Economic Profit (A$2.83) versus Growth DCF (A$0.8700). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
