TickerTalks' own read on what's driving $CODAF — fundamentals, momentum, or an event — and whether it agrees with the X crowd.

Proven numbersAcceleratingAI verdict · as of 2026-09-03

The move is getting stronger, with heavier trading behind it.

Codan — Australian defense-and-mining tech — Q4 revenue +69% YoY, gold-detector unit is the driver.

Codan is a small Australian technology company (~$4.3B market value; OTC ADR CODAF at $23.61) that sells radio communications equipment (defense customers) and Minelab gold detectors — both product lines have strong current demand.

  • Q4 fiscal 2026 (June-ending) revenue A$481M was up ~69% year-on-year — a very strong final quarter to the fiscal year.
  • Q4 EPS A$0.58 versus prior-quarter run rate — solid earnings acceleration.
  • Sell-side FY26 (June-ending) model A$844M revenue and A$0.93 EPS; FY27 A$983M and A$1.14 EPS — analysts see continued growth into FY27.
  • Trailing gross margin ~53% and operating margin ~28% — outstanding for a defense-electronics company.
  • Debt-to-equity only 0.09 — very clean balance sheet.
  • Free-cash-flow yield ~2.7% is thin because of working-capital investment for growth.
  • Trades at ~51x trailing EPS — premium multiple, justified by the growth print and defense-mix expansion.
  • Chart is at the 50-day and ~2% below the 200-day — a coiling pattern.
  • Float ~111M shares (bucket 'mid'); ADR trades thinly.

Next earnings February 24, 2027. What matters is defense-radio order flow, Minelab gold-detector attach to the gold-price cycle, and gross-margin trajectory.

What to watch: February 24, 2027 earnings for defense-radio orders, Minelab gold-detector demand, and gross-margin trajectory.

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
50.9How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
25.7%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
27.7%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
2.7%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
10.2Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
30.0%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
53.3%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.1Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
