Accent Group (ASX:AX1)

Accent Group Limited (ASX:AX1) operates across retail, distribution, and franchise sectors for lifestyle footwear and apparel in Australia and New Zealand. With a market cap of A$1.02 billion, the company recently strengthened its footprint through a new partnership with Frasers Group, launching Sports Direct in the region. This move could increase its access to global sportswear brands and amplify retail traction.

The company generates most of its income from retail sales (A$1.30 billion) and wholesale contributions (A$475.92 million). While earnings growth has been negative and profit margins are tightening, Accent maintains stable weekly price volatility and adequate cash flow coverage of its debt. An experienced management team is at the helm, though the board is relatively new. These factors could shape future operational efficiencies.

Emeco Holdings (ASX:EHL)

Emeco Holdings Limited (ASX:EHL) specializes in equipment rental and mining services, boasting a market cap of A$388.44 million. Its diversified revenue structure—A$579.43 million from rentals and A$292.97 million from workshops—offers insulation against sector-specific downturns. The company recently reported a significant jump in net income to A$33.58 million, lifting profit margins to 8.6% in the latest half-year results.

While long-term liabilities slightly outweigh long-term assets, Emeco shows consistent improvement in its debt structure. Over the past five years, the company has reduced leverage while maintaining strong interest coverage through EBIT, reflecting strategic financial discipline even with a less experienced board.

Tyro Payments (ASX:TYR)

Tyro Payments Limited (ASX:TYR), a provider of payment solutions for Australian merchants, holds a market cap of A$366.98 million. With a primary focus on the payments segment (A$464.66 million in revenue), the company has recently turned a financial corner, doubling its net income to A$10.26 million in the first half of FY2025.

Tyro's strength lies in its robust balance sheet—debt-free with sufficient short-term assets to cover liabilities. Although its return on equity is modest at 14.2%, its earnings growth last year exceeded industry norms. However, projected earnings suggest a moderate contraction of 2.3% annually over the next three years.
