Analysis
Southern Cross Electrical Engineering Limited (SXE) currently trades at A$4.49, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is A$2.19, implying the stock looks roughly 51.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 72/100 (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, Southern Cross Electrical Engineering Limited generated revenue of A$753M at a net margin of 0.4%. Revenue declined 12.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 1.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of A$80.4M. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from A$1.64 (bear case) to A$2.74 (bull case); at A$4.49, 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 near its 52-week high and 188% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -45% fair-value upside, at -51%, SXE 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.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (A$3.31) versus Asset-Based (A$0.4500). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
