Below is a curated selection from that screen.
Capricorn Metals Ltd (ASX:CMM)
The gold producer, recently elevated to the S&P/ASX 100, appears substantially undervalued. Trading around A$13.65, our model suggests a fair value closer to A$25.91—a discount near 47%. This gap exists despite strong fundamentals: forecasted annual earnings growth of 30.3% and revenue growth of 27.7% outshine broader market averages. Its Karlawinda operation remains a robust cash flow engine, underpinning a compelling case for re-rating.
Regal Partners Ltd (ASX:RPL)
This investment manager, with a market cap of A$1.12 billion, trades at A$3.05 against an estimated fair value of A$5.53. A projected earnings growth of 25.6% per annum is a key attraction. However, investors should note potential headwinds: profit margins have contracted from prior years, and the current dividend yield of 5.25% may be challenging to maintain, adding a layer of risk to the otherwise bullish earnings outlook.
SiteMinder Ltd (ASX:SDR)
The global hotel commerce platform is priced at A$5.00, below its estimated cash flow value of A$5.94. The company is on a high-growth trajectory, with revenue expected to climb 18.9% annually. Most notably, earnings are projected to surge by over 56% per year, with the path to profitability clearly visible. The recent appointment of AI specialist Samantha Lawson to its board could further catalyze innovation and strategic execution.

Market Voices:
"Finally, some sense in this market," says Michael Tan, a portfolio manager from Sydney. "When quality names like Capricorn trade at such a disconnect from fundamentals, it's a signal for patient capital to step in. This is how you build wealth, not by chasing momentum."
"I'm skeptical," counters Priya Sharma, an independent retail investor from Melbourne. "These 'discounts' are based on models that can be wildly wrong. Regal's dividend looks shaky, and SiteMinder isn't even profitable yet. This feels like trying to catch a falling knife in this macro environment."
"The data on SiteMinder is particularly intriguing," notes David Chen, a fintech analyst in Singapore. "The growth metrics are exceptional. If they can leverage that new AI expertise on the board effectively, the current valuation might not reflect the platform's scaling potential."
