DRA Global

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: DRA Global Limited is a multi-disciplinary engineering, project delivery, and operations management company serving the mining, mineral, and metal sectors globally, with a market cap of A$110.99 million.

Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from its Minopex segment (A$363.27 million), with additional contributions from its geographical operations in Europe, The Middle East and Africa (A$313.89 million), Australia and Asia Pacific (A$149.40 million), and North and South America (A$95.82 million).

Market Cap: A$110.99M

DRA Global Limited, with a market cap of A$110.99 million, is navigating significant changes as it plans to delist from the ASX and JSE due to low trading volumes and high compliance costs. The company has announced a share buyback program worth A$23.06 million, subject to shareholder approval, providing an exit strategy for investors before delisting in early 2025. Despite its challenges, DRA's financials show strong coverage of debt by operating cash flow and no meaningful shareholder dilution over the past year. However, it faces declining profit margins and negative earnings growth recently amidst management transitions.
