Analysis

SciDev Limited (SDV) currently trades at A$0.1650, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is A$0.1480, implying the stock looks roughly 10.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 48/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials 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, SciDev Limited generated revenue of A$102M at a net margin of -2.9%. Revenue declined 3.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -6.0%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of A$3.4M. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026

Our scenario range runs from A$0.1115 (bear case) to A$0.1845 (bull case); at A$0.1650, 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 68% below its 52-week high and 90% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at -10%, SDV 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.

Widest divergence: Multiples (A$0.8400) versus Growth DCF (A$0.1200). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

How we calculate Fair Value

Each company is valued through a stack of independent intrinsic-value models (DCF variants, residual-income, multiples and more), blended into one family-balanced consensus and weighted by how much trustworthy data backs it. A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
