Analysis
NZME Limited (NZM) currently trades at A$0.8800, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is A$1.16, implying the stock looks roughly 31.8% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 67/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services 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, NZME Limited generated revenue of A$341M at a net margin of 3.8%. Revenue grew 0.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.2%. Net debt stands at A$144M. Fundamentals as of Aug 14, 2026
Our scenario range runs from A$0.7300 (bear case) to A$1.58 (bull case); at A$0.8800, 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 share trades about 14% below its 52-week high and 6% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at -43% fair-value upside, at 32%, NZM 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 22 models by family
