Story Continues
Operations: SHAPE Australia generates revenue primarily from its heavy construction segment, amounting to A$956.87 million. Its financial performance is influenced by the net profit margin, which reflects the company’s ability to convert revenue into profit after accounting for all expenses.
SHAPE Australia is carving a niche in the construction industry by expanding into non-office sectors like health and education, aiming for more stable earnings. With no debt on its books, SHAPE’s financial health seems robust, aided by high-quality past earnings and positive free cash flow. The company trades at 22.8% below fair value estimates, suggesting potential for investors. Despite a 31.9% earnings growth outpacing the industry’s 6.5%, it faces risks from heavy reliance on office fit-outs amid shifting work trends and intense competition. Analysts project revenue growth of 5.8% annually with profit margins inching up to 2.3%.
