SRE Holdings - Readthrough from Excellent FY25 Q3 Results
SRE Holdings (2980 JT) shares have been hammered by twin concerns that rising interest rates would harm their real estate business, while AI will whittle away at SRE Holdings’ AI solutions business. SRE has answered its critics with an exceptional FY25 Q3 performance, which not only has implications for the firm’s FY25 performance as a whole, but also has significant implications for FY26 and FY27. This report assesses the firm’s outlook in the wake of these results.

PSA Diversified Real Estate: SRE Holdings (2980 JT) – Building Profit...
SRE Holdings’ business model of operating in the industries that it develops AI SaaS solutions gives it specialist insights into what customers need as well as generating proprietary data. Analyst Lindsay Whipp thinks that the company’s FY26 (Mar yr-end) EV/OP of 11.1x is attractive for a company that we expect to grow at a 5-yr OP CAGR to FY27 of over +35%.

Analyst Lindsay Whipp is encouraged by the Q1 performance and even though investment is weighted to H2, that was also the case in FY25, when it significantly outperformed. There is a strong change it could do it again this year.

Visional has consistently beaten quarterly consensus OP estimates in all but three quarters since FY22 (Jul yr-end) Q2 and it has come in ahead of its own annual OP forecasts every year since FY22 as well. The recruitment platform operator will announce its FY26 Q1 results on 11 Dec. Although we think that it is more likely to meet than beat on OP due to investments for growth, we are optimistic that it will outperform later in the year and surpass its full-year forecasts once more.

However, over the long-term, MF is looking more attractive.
