Select Harvests Ltd

Select Harvests maintains a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.57 and a current ratio of 1.84, indicating moderate leverage and adequate short-term liquidity. The company's price-to-book ratio of 1.03 and price-to-tangible-book ratio of 1.03 suggest market valuation is in line with its equity base. However, net cash is negative after subtracting total debt, signaling potential liquidity constraints. Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 6.09% and return on assets of 3.4%, both below the Food Processing industry median of 8.2% and 4.5%, respectively. Gross profit of $10.07 million on $398.26 million in revenue yields a 2.53% margin, significantly below the industry median of 6.8%. Operating income of $48.65 million reflects a 12.2% margin, which is also below the 15.1% median for the sector. Geographically, the company operates almond orchards in Victoria, South Australia, and New South Wales, with no disclosed revenue concentration by region. Segment-wise, it serves beverage, bakery, confectionery, cereal, snacking, health, dairy, and re-packers, but lacks detailed revenue breakdowns by segment. Export markets are not quantified in the latest financials. Outlook data is not provided in the input, but historical revenue growth is minimal, with $398.26 million in the latest period. Analysts project a mean price target of $5.32, implying 38% upside from the current $3.80 market price. However, the absence of forward-looking guidance limits visibility on near-term revenue or margin expansion. Risk factors include medium liquidity risk due to negative net cash and a medium debt-to-equity ratio. Dilution risk is assessed as low, with no recent share issuance or ATM/shelf disclosures. Adjustments in custom valuations reflect no material changes to equity or debt structure. Recent events include no disclosed filings or transcripts in the input data. Analysts have issued four "buy" and one "hold" recommendation, with a mean recommendation of 2.00, indicating a generally positive sentiment despite the company's underperformance relative to industry peers.
