  • Computershare (ASX:CPU) Shares Up 37%, Analysts Say Valuation Stretched on China Move
    July 6, 2026, 7:37 AM EDT. Computershare (ASX:CPU) is trading at A$39.26, up 37.7% over the past 90 days. Analysts say shares are 8.8% overvalued, pointing to a fair value near A$36.07. The company's launch of a regional beta in China and its acquisition of Wells Fargo Corporate Trust have put the spotlight back on its global expansion. Revenue grew 6.4% and EPS rose 20% at management, but there are still risks linked to interest rate sensitive income and AI digitisation execution. Computershare trades at 26.3x earnings-lower than sector peers at 30.2x but well above the professional services industry's 15.7x. Investors debate if the stock's rally means they're overpaying, or if it's still a bargain for the quality.
