Imdex's Strong Backdrop Tempered by Current Valuation -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Feb 02

2131 GMT - There's lots to like about Imdex, except its current valuation, contends Jefferies. Analyst John Campbell highlights a strengthening backdrop. Global exploration activity is rising, rig utilization has increased across all regions and Imdex tools on hire have grown since 4Q. "The Orebody Intelligence expansion continues to gain traction, although near term payoff remains uncertain," Jefferies says. Notably, junior raisings point to a 2026 exploration boom. Jefferies expects Imdex to report 1H revenue of A$239 revenue, and A$74 million of underlying Ebitda. "We remain constructive on long-term tech optionality, but valuation keeps us at a Hold," says Jefferies. Imdex ended last week at A$3.79. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
