Analysis
Freelancer Limited (FLN) currently trades at A$0.1400, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is A$0.0800, implying the stock looks roughly 42.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 65/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services 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: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, Freelancer Limited generated revenue of A$53.2M at a net margin of 4.1%. Revenue grew 0.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of A$10.5M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from A$0.0600 (bear case) to A$0.1000 (bull case); at A$0.1400, 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 57% below its 52-week high and 19% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at -8% fair-value upside, at -43%, FLN 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 26 models by family
