*** GENERAL AVICE ONLY***
Austin Engineering Limited (ANG) is a global engineering company. For over 50 years, Austin has partnered with mining companies, contractors and original equipment manufacturers to create innovative engineering solutions that deliver productivity improvements to their operations. The company is a market leader in the design and manufacture of loading and hauling solutions, including off highway dump truck bodies, buckets, water tanks and related attachments, supporting both open-cut and underground operations. Complementing its proprietary product range are repair and maintenance services performed in company’s workshops and on clients’ mine sites, and spare parts
Austin Engineering (ASX: ANG) is demonstrating strong fundamentals and attractive upside potential:
- Revenue growth remains robust, with FY25 guidance upgraded to $370 million, up 18% year-on-year. The company’s order book is at a record high, and the Americas—especially the US and Chile—are delivering strong demand. Recent investments in capacity are now translating into higher production and sales.
- Profitability is solid, despite short-term margin pressure in Chile due to operational bottlenecks. Management is actively shifting production to its Batam facility to restore margins, and EBIT is still forecast to rise 8% in FY25.
- Valuation is compelling: At a current price of $0.325, the stock trades on a forward PE of just 6.1x, with a fully franked dividend yield above 5%. Broker consensus target is $0.60, implying an 85% upside.
- Balance sheet and cash flow are healthy, supporting ongoing dividends and further growth initiatives.
- Piotroski Score is strong (7/9), reflecting improving profitability, liquidity, and operational eAiciency.
While there are short-term challenges in Chile, management’s operational response and the company’s global diversification reduce risk. With strong earnings growth, attractive valuation, and a clear path to margin recovery, Austin Engineering oAers a favorable risk/reward profile.
Trade Rationale
ANG has been in down trend for about 12 months as the market has digested the challenges in Chile. Recently though any news releases from the company have resulted in price rises. So this is a signal that chances are the lows are in for the company. With a few volume spikes over the last two months with rising price, this shows there is some fresh buying at these levels. So a long entry around current levels is one where the downside risk is easy to manage.
ANG is due to report on 26th August 2025
