AI bottom line
ALEX trades at a severe valuation discount (P/B 0.8x vs. sector 2.5x), but this reflects fundamental distress: the company is loss-making with a -15.6% net margin and negative ROE of -9.9%, signaling operational dysfunction rather than opportunity. Monitor whether management can return to profitability and stabilize margins, as continued losses will justify the discount and expose liquidity risk given thin ADV of ₦91k daily.
