Analysis
IPH Limited (IPH) currently trades at A$4.32, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is A$5.64, implying the stock looks roughly 30.6% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 49/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, IPH Limited generated revenue of A$728M at a net margin of 10.0%. Revenue grew 6.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.0%. Net debt stands at A$411M. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from A$4.23 (bear case) to A$7.05 (bull case); at A$4.32, the current price sits within 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 last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 16% below its 52-week high and 41% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -35% fair-value upside, at 31%, IPH 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 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (A$7.81) versus Asset-Based (A$1.83). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
