Below-average quality, screening 32% undervalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The model range is unusually wide (A$0.0822 to A$0.2157). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
  • Solid quality (45/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.

Analysis

PlaySide Studios Limited (PLY) currently trades at A$0.1150, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is A$0.1517, implying the stock looks roughly 31.9% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 45/100 (below-average 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: low), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, PlaySide Studios Limited generated revenue of A$40.6M at a net margin of 2.9%. Revenue declined 28.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 2.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of A$12.3M. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026

Our scenario range runs from A$0.0822 (bear case) to A$0.2157 (bull case); at A$0.1150, 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 71% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at -19% fair-value upside, at 32%, PLY 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.

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
