Questions

Which companies are ADICON's closest peers?
The cockpit's peer set: Australian Clinical Labs (ACL.AX), Jeena Sikho Lifecare (JSLL.NS), Tellgen (300642.SZ), M1 Kliniken (M12.DE), Integral Diagnostics (IDX.AX), Oncology Institute (STLN), Australian Unity Ltd Pref (AYUPA.AX), NIOX (NIOX.L).
Is ADICON expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 25.5× against a peer median of 15.5×, 3rd most expensive of 14 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 12% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is -1%, so the hurdle is +14 pp: the price needs faster growth than the company has been delivering — of companies that just grew 25–50% a year, 93.8% slowed down over the next four years.
How has ADICON stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +9.4% against -2.5% for the median peer; over one year -29.0%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
