Market Cap: A$901.21M

Peet Limited, with a market cap of A$901.21 million, has shown impressive earnings growth of 60% over the past year, outpacing both its historical average and the broader real estate industry. While the company benefits from high-quality earnings and well-covered interest payments (10.7x EBIT coverage), it faces challenges with a high net debt to equity ratio of 45.8% and short-term assets not covering long-term liabilities. The board's inexperience may affect strategic decisions, though shareholders have not faced significant dilution recently. Peet trades at 84% below estimated fair value, suggesting potential undervaluation despite an unstable dividend history.
