We'll examine a selection from our screener results.
Overview: James Hardie Industries plc manufactures and sells fiber cement, fiber gypsum, and cement bonded boards across the United States, Australia, Europe, and New Zealand with a market cap of A$17.69 billion.
Operations: The company's revenue segments include $524.40 million from Europe and $490.70 million from Australia & New Zealand.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 18%
James Hardie Industries shows potential as an undervalued stock based on cash flows, trading at 18% below its fair value estimate of A$37.19. However, its debt coverage by operating cash flow is a concern. Recent executive changes and the company's drop from major indices may impact investor confidence. Despite these challenges, earnings are forecast to grow significantly at 35.93% annually over the next three years, outpacing the broader Australian market growth rate of 12.1%.

Operations: The company's revenue primarily comes from the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of NovoSorb Technology, amounting to A$128.70 million.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 21.6%
PolyNovo is trading 21.6% below its fair value estimate of A$1.6, highlighting its potential as an undervalued stock based on cash flows. The company's earnings are projected to grow significantly at 27.37% annually over the next three years, surpassing the Australian market's growth rate of 12.1%. Recent board appointments may bolster governance and strategic direction, but investors should consider the high level of non-cash earnings in their assessments.
Overview: Resolute Mining Limited is involved in the mining, prospecting, and exploration of mineral properties in Africa with a market capitalization of A$2.73 billion.
Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from its operations in Africa, with Syama in Mali contributing $557.22 million and Mako in Senegal generating $349.76 million.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 47.4%
Resolute Mining is trading at A$1.28, significantly below its fair value estimate of A$2.43, indicating potential undervaluation based on cash flows. Earnings are forecast to grow substantially at 50.67% annually over the next three years, outpacing the Australian market's growth rate of 12.1%. Recent inclusion in the S&P/ASX 200 Index and updates to projects like Doropo highlight strategic advancements, though increased capital costs and lower profit margins warrant careful consideration by investors.
