A solid business, but screening 54% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (A$2.29). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (51/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • A fairly wide model range (A$1.26 to A$2.29) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Imdex Limited (IMD) currently trades at A$4.02, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is A$1.83, implying the stock looks roughly 54.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 51/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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, Imdex Limited generated revenue of A$466M at a net margin of 10.8%. Revenue grew 16.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.0%. Net debt stands at A$57.8M. Fundamentals as of Jul 11, 2026

Our scenario range runs from A$1.26 (bear case) to A$2.29 (bull case); at A$4.02, 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 12% below its 52-week high and 59% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 12% fair-value upside, at -54%, IMD 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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
