Overview
Downer EDI combines transport infrastructure, energy and utilities, and facilities services in a large, diversified Australian-listed business. Its A$9.7B in trailing revenue and 4.5B market capitalisation indicate considerable scale, while revenue growth of -7.70% and a 2.23% profit margin show that scale has not translated into strong recent growth or a wide earnings cushion. At A$6.83, the shares sit within their A$6.25–A$8.31 52-week range and below both supplied moving averages. A 4.35% dividend yield adds an income dimension, but the business’s recent performance and contract execution remain central to its outlook.
Downer EDI is an Australian-based services group whose operations span transport, energy and utilities, and facilities management. In transport, it works across road and rail infrastructure, maintenance and related services; its energy and utilities activities cover assets and services in areas such as power, gas, water and telecommunications. Its facilities business supports the operation and maintenance of strategic assets for customers including health, education, government and defence. This mix gives Downer broad exposure to essential infrastructure and outsourced services, while also bringing together businesses with differing project, operating and contract requirements.

Downer has a market capitalisation of 4.5B and a price-to-earnings ratio of 20.7, alongside earnings per share of A$0.33. The supplied PEG ratio is 1.58. These figures should be considered against revenue growth of -7.70% and a profit margin of 2.23%: the scale of the business is substantial, but recent contraction and limited profitability make the earnings outlook important to valuation. The dividend yield is 4.35%, with a supplied dividend per share of A$0.292; the yield alone does not establish the sustainability of future payments.

- Target vs last price
- 14.34% from last price
The supplied target price is A$7.82, which is 14.42% above the last price of A$6.83. This is secondary context rather than a forecast: the figures do not remove the importance of Downer’s recent revenue contraction, modest margin or execution risks. The share price is also below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, indicating a softer technical position than those averages.
Risks
Downer’s breadth across infrastructure and outsourced services gives it exposure to varied markets, but the supplied figures show revenue growth of -7.70% and a profit margin of 2.23%. A relatively thin margin leaves profitability sensitive to delivery costs and the performance of individual contracts. Its project and asset-services work also makes execution, cost control and the timing of customer activity important considerations. The share price remains below both supplied moving averages, adding a weaker recent technical context to the fundamental picture.
