Orion Equities posts higher January NTA, flags hidden value in Bentley stake

Orion Equities Limited ( (AU:OEQ) ) has provided an announcement.

Orion Equities has reported a modest improvement in its net tangible asset backing for January 2026, with pre- and post-tax NTA per share rising 1.22% to $0.4251, supported by a stable investment property valuation and increased market value of its 10 million Strike Resources shares. The company’s reported NTA does not currently reflect any value for its 26.95% stake in Bentley Capital, which is equity-accounted at nil despite Bentley’s positive share price and NTA, suggesting potential latent upside if Bentley returns to profitability.

The portfolio at month end comprised $0.5 million in Strike Resources shares, $2.1 million in investment property and just over $4 million in net cash and other assets, with no tax provisions affecting the headline NTA. For investors, the figures highlight a conservative balance sheet with significant cash and property backing, while the treatment of the Bentley holding under equity accounting creates a disconnect between book values and market-based valuations that could influence perceptions of Orion’s underlying asset base.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:OEQ) stock is a Hold with a A$0.22 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Orion Equities Limited stock, see the AU:OEQ Stock Forecast page.
