SYDNEY - eTradeWire -- LCC Asia Pacific® has repackaged & relaunched its long running weekly research on Australia's listed engineering, contracting, industrial services and advanced manufacturing companies. Edition 573 covers the week ending 23 October 2026.

To be published again every Monday, the report gives directors and executives a one-page read on the sector before the week begins:

• The week in review — market backdrop, the biggest movers among the constituents, and the announcements that mattered: capital raisings, contract awards, broker target changes, buy-backs and leadership changes.
• The LCC Contractors & Engineering Index — a proprietary market-cap-weighted index of 54 ASX-listed companies,  charted against the All Ordinaries. This week: −2.9%; around +35% since inception versus +21% for the All Ords.
• Valuation data on every constituent — market capitalisation, price performance over the week, year-to-date and 12 months, volume trend, and trailing EV/EBITDA and EV/EBIT multiples, across four groups including a new Advanced & Additive Manufacturing section.

Why it matters to CEOs and boards. Listed peers set the reference point for every conversation about value — with shareholders, acquirers, lenders and the board. The report shows, week by week, how the market is pricing businesses like yours: which sub-sectors are being re-rated, where multiples are moving, who is raising capital and on what terms. For private company owners, it is the clearest signal of what a transaction might be worth, and when the window is open.
