Our View
- Strong pipeline of work ahead, which is largely essential due to the climate transition
- Persistently screening high in our systematic process, with attractive earnings growth and at a
reasonable valuation
- Most recent results provided guidance for low double-digit growth ahead
- WOR expects FY25 growth to come from a high proportion of higher-margin sustainability
related work.
- Sustainability-related work is 51% of the pipeline and increased QoQ in 4Q.
- This work is not slowing and is supportive of earnings growth
- Competition is very low for project tenders.
Buy Idp Education (IEL)
IDP Education (IEL) is a prominent international education organization that specializes in facilitating
study abroad opportunities for students. Established in 1969, IDP has evolved into a global leader in
education services for institutions in Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, New
Zealand, and Ireland. Core services include student placement for visa applications, English language
testing, English language training and ongoing student study support such as accommodation
arrangements.
Our View
- As moving to Australia becomes increasingly competitive and complex, IDP’s services become
increasingly valuable and in demand for students. This may be offset by lower student
numbers ahead, but this will impact IDP’s small peers more significantly potentially giving IDP
an opportunity to strengthen their market leading position.
- Ongoing political arguments about student numbers in Australia. The outcome of these policy
debates has had a material impact on IEL, driving short-term sentiment on the stock.
However, for a government short on economic growth and worsening demographics, and for
universities short on funding, this is likely to be a short-term headwind
- Attractive opportunity to buy a very high-quality business, global leader in its space, during
fairly wild swings in short-term sentiment which have seen the share price fall considerably to
very attractive levels.
