Calix Limited (CXL) Fair Value & Analysis
Basic Materials · AU · Market cap A$69.1M
Fair value as of: Aug 13, 2026
From 3 valuation models · updated yesterday
Share price −7.1% over the past month.
Below-average quality, and screening another 78% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (A$0.0900). 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.
- A fairly wide model range (A$0.0400 to A$0.0900) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range A$0.2600 – A$9.23 · fair‑value band A$0.0400 – A$0.0900 · the A$0.3250 price screens above the A$0.0700 fair value. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
Analysis
Calix Limited (CXL) currently trades at A$0.3250, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is A$0.0700, implying the stock looks roughly 78.5% 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$31.0M. Revenue grew 20.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -73.0%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of A$20.4M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from A$0.0400 (bear case) to A$0.0900 (bull case); at A$0.3250, 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. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -68% fair-value upside, at -78%, CXL 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.
