DomaCom Ltd (ASX: DCL) continues to make steady progress on new product releases. Based on DCL’s Rental Property Accelerator product, the company has partnered with BlueCHP – a community housing provider, on a $250m essential workers affordable housing pilot programme. DCL has also entered a partnership with Crescent Group to move forward with the new Shariah-compliant Islamic home finance product.
New insights on the opportunity in the sector were seen in the Retirement Income Review report released by the Australian Treasurer on 20 November 2020. Highlighting the need for focus on the post-retirement income stream and emphasising the government’s downsizer contributions scheme which retirees can use to access their housing wealth. The company believes that any tangible expansion in retirement income will in parallel increases attention on alternative investment strategies such as DCL’s senior equity release.
Given the steady progress on the essential worker program and the Shariah-compliant finance solution, as well as the opportunity provided by the senior equity release offering, the company reinstates the previous valuation of A$0.30–0.40 per share based on the DCF approach. The company believes that successful product launches and the resultant growth in FuM should drive a re-rating of DCL. Key risks include 1) slow increase in FuM; and 2) cyclical risk.
