Worley Limited (ASX: WOR)

Worley Limited is an Australia-based solutions provider for a diverse range of end markets in energy, chemicals, and resources. It provides data-driven and technology-driven solutions at every stage of the project lifecycle.

Recommendation Rationale - SELL at AUD 14.540

  • Surpassed Resistance: WOR has surpassed the ‘Resistance 1’ level recommended on 9 May 2025. Also, its 14-day RSI is showing a reading of ~72.31, indicating overbought zone; hence, the stock may face some consolidation before scaling further upside.
  • APAC Revenue Decline: In FY25, the Asia-Pacific region experienced reduced revenue due to project completions, highlighting a lack of new wins in that region.
  • Chemicals Sector Weakness: The chemicals sector continues to face softer market conditions, weighing on overall revenue diversity. With fewer growth drivers in this segment, the company’s reliance on other-performing sectors increases its exposure to cyclical shifts in energy and resources.
  • Project Cancellation: The AUD 1.6bn NorthVolt battery materials project was cancelled, reducing backlog growth. This raises questions around project pipeline security and execution risks, especially in the fast-growing but volatile energy transition space.

Valuation Methodology: Price/Earnings (FY Jun'26E) (Illustrative)

WOR is expected to trade at a slight premium to its peers considering group revenue (up 4% YoY) and underlying NPATA (up 14% YoY) growth in FY25, 32% YoY increase in bookings as of 20 June 2025, expectations of moderate growth in FY26, etc. For conducting valuation, the following peers have been considered: Cleanaway Waste Management Ltd (ASX: CWY), Qantas Airways Ltd (ASX: QAN), and Lindsay Australia Ltd (ASX: LAU) and others.

Given its current trading levels, recent rally in the share price, and risks associated, it is prudent to sell the stock at the current levels. Hence, a ‘Sell’ recommendation is given on the stock at the current market price of AUD 14.540, as of 28 August 2025 at 3:56 PM AEST.

Markets are trading in a highly volatile zone currently due to certain macro-economic issues and geopolitical issues prevailing geopolitical tensions. Therefore, it is prudent to follow a cautious approach while investing.
