Austal: A Rare Combination Of Growth And Value
Austal (ASB) is positioned for robust growth, anchored by multi-decade U.S., Australian, and AUKUS naval shipbuilding programs. Despite recent share price declines and profit-taking, ASB's current valuation fails to reflect its long-term order visibility and expansion opportunities. I apply an 11.4x EV/EBITDA multiple, yielding a conservative $5.75 price target and nearly 100% upside versus current levels.
