Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition - Jul 19, 2021

Daily Market Reports | Jul 19 2021

This story features AIR NEW ZEALAND LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: AIZ

An additional news report on the recommendation, valuation, forecast and opinion changes for ASX-listed equities.

In addition to The Australian Broker Call Report, which is published and updated daily (Mon-Fri), FNArena has now added The Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition, featuring additional sources of research and insights on ASX-listed stocks, also enlarging the number of stocks that make up the FNArena universe.

One key difference is the *Extra* Edition will not be updated daily, but merely "regularly" depending on availability of suitable quality content. As such, the *Extra* Edition tries to build a bridge between daily updates via the Australian Broker Call Report and ad hoc news stories, that are not always timely for investors hungry for the next information update.

Investors using the *Extra* Edition as a source of input for their own share market research should thus take into account that information after publication may not be up to date, or yet awaiting another update by FNArena's team of journalists.

Similar to The Australian Broker Call Report, this *Extra* Edition includes concise but limited reviews of research recently published by Stockbrokers and other experts, which should be considered as information concerning likely market behaviour rather than advice on the securities mentioned. Do not act on the contents of this Report without first reading the important information included at the end of this Report.

The Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition is a summary that has been prepared independently of the sources identified. Readers will check the full text of the recommendations and consult a Licenced Advisor before making any investment decision.

AIZ AIR NEW ZEALAND LIMITED

Transportation & Logistics – Overnight Price: $1.47

Jarden rates ((AIZ)) as Sell (5) –

Air New Zealand issued in-line earnings guidance for FY21 though announced a major downgrade for FY22.

Jarden continues to see operational challenges for border reopenings and further upside risk to jet fuel costs, which could drive further earnings downgrades. This is considered untimely when the company is looking to raise material new equity.

The broker downgrades its FY22 and FY23 revenue forecasts, due to a slower revenue recovery profile on lower Tasman and long-haul load factors and negative mix effect on yields in the Tasman.

Jarden's Sell rating is retained and its target price decreases to NZ$0.95 from NZ$1.10.

This report was published on June 18, 2021.

Current Price is $1.47. Target price not assessed.
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY21:

Jarden forecasts a full year FY21 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of minus 27.54 cents.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is minus 5.34.

Jarden forecasts a full year FY22 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of minus 11.45 cents.

Jarden rates ((ALU)) as Underweight (2) –

Jarden points out that Altium continues to commit to delivering US$500m revenue and 100,000 subscribers by 2025. Management expects to achieve the latter without M&A though hitting the US$500m may rely on 10-20% of the total coming from acquisitions.

Regarding the bid by Autodesk for the company, management stated it will continue to engage with the bidder, and other potential parties, around strategic partnerships. They are open to bids, but at what they deem to be the right price.

A trading update revealed the company expects FY21 revenue to be at the low-end of guidance of US$190-195m. This includes circa US$11m from TASKING, which was sold on the 5th February.

Shaw and Partners rates ((ALU)) as Buy (1) –

During an investor presentation recently hosted by Altium, the company re-affirmed that FY21 revenue and earnings would be at the low end of guidance and that FY25 goals are achievable.

Commenting on the presentation, Shaw and Partners notes that positive momentum has returned to the company. The broker believes Altium's mainstream dominance is a strategic asset.

Shaw also believes the company's proven ability to out-innovate the competition and strong early adoption of its cloud platform provides management with confidence in its ability to execute through FY25, and ultimately become the “world’s would-be-largest manufacturer of electronics – that owns no factory”.

Shaw maintains a Buy rating and target price of $38.50, which is in line with the proposed rejected offer from Autodesk.

Shaw will conduct a full review of forecasts and valuation methodology at the upcoming full-year result. Meanwhile, the broker feels the downside is limited and that there is a reasonable chance of a revised offer from Autodesk, or even a competing bid from private equity, big tech or other trade buyers.

The broker notes BHP’s view of muriate of potash prices implies an Australian Potash valuation of $0.38ps. Shaw's Buy rating and target price of $0.32 are retained.

But the broker believes the stock appears very cheap at current levels, with every $50/t in sulphate of potash realised pricing adding 6cps to Shaw's Australian Potash model.

ASB AUSTAL LIMITED

Commercial Services & Supplies – Overnight Price: $2.19

Shaw and Partners rates ((ASB)) as Buy (1) –

Shaw and Partners notes an improvement in sentiment for Austal has been somewhat derailed by a covid-19 induced earnings downgrade, commencement of ASIC civil proceedings and the company’s removal from the ASX200 index.

In a major strategic move, the company is currently investing to become a major naval steel hulled shipbuilder, and positive developments in recent weeks suggest to the broker this steel potential is emerging.

The near-term outlook remains uncertain with a declining order book for shipbuilding and relative weakness in vessel sustainment, at least through 2021, explains the analyst. The broker's target price is reduced to $2.80 from $3 and the Buy rating is maintained.

This report was published on June 21, 2021.

Target price is $2.80 Current Price is $2.19 Difference: $0.61
If ASB meets the Shaw and Partners target it will return approximately 28% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

AVH AVITA MEDICAL INC

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $5.08

Bell Potter rates ((AVH)) as Buy (1) –

Bell Potter updates forecasts to reflect upgraded fourth quarter revenue guidance from Avita Medical. Management raised the midpoint of guidance by 14%, largely due to stronger-than-expected demand from hospitals for the Recell spray on skin product.

The company forecasts FY22 revenues of $33m, implying to the broker 32% revenue growth relative to the exit rate from the fourth quarter. The analyst upgrades its FY21 revenue forecasts by 4%, while changes to FY22/FY23 are not material.

Bell Potter expects generation of positive cash flows from operations in FY24. The broker's Buy rating and $9.80 target price are maintained.

BET BETMAKERS TECHNOLOGY GROUP LIMITED

Gaming – Overnight Price: $0.98

Canaccord Genuity rates ((BET)) as Buy (1) –

The New Jersey State Senate and State General Assembly recently passed a Bill that authorises fixed odds wagering on thoroughbred horse races.

Canaccord Genuity's interpretation of the Bill is that it requires account holders to be at least 18 years of age, which opens up an incremental customer base for NJ corporate bookmakers.

The broker believes this will likely act as a significant incentive for the bookmakers to sign up with Betmakers to receive the fixed odds product.

Canaccord also notes by extension this will likely create more interest from independent racetracks wanting to work with Betmakers in monetising their content.

The Buy rating and target price of $1.45 are both unchanged.

This report was published on June 22, 2021.

Dairy – Overnight Price: $5.37

Having reviewed movements in commodity returns and opening farmgate prices for the 2021-22 season, there are no material changes to Bell Potter's forecasts, with the Buy rating and target price of $7.35 for Bega Cheese both remaining unchanged.

The broker expects the acquisition of Lion Dairy & Drinks and the targeted synergy base to drive a material step change in returns for Bega over the next three years.

In addition, Bell Potter sees Bega benefiting from an improved competitive position at the farmgate in FY22 as indicated by the company opening its 2021-22 Southern farmgate milk price at the upper end of the industry at $6.80KgMS.

This report was published on June 222, 2021.

Uranium – Overnight Price: $0.15

Canaccord Genuity rates ((BOE)) as Buy (1) –

Goldman Sachs rates ((BOQ)) as Buy (1) –

Bank of Queensland has announced that the Federal Treasurer has approved its acquisition of Members Equity Bank Limited (ME Bank). The acquisition was funded by a $1.35bn equity raise.

Having incorporated ME Bank’s earnings into the broker's Bank of Queensland forecasts, Goldman Sachs' FY21, FY22, and FY23 earnings per share estimates move up by 5%, 38%, and 41% respectively.

Goldman Sachs's retained Buy rating reflects continued improvements in volume momentum, particularly in housing, and the group's funding mix, which will be positively leveraged to the current funding environment.

BPT BEACH ENERGY LIMITED

Crude Oil – Overnight Price: $1.29

Jarden rates ((BPT)) as Initiation of coverage with Overweight (2) –

Jarden has initiated on the oil and gas sector and provided detail on a number of companies as they address rising investor concerns about the role of fossil fuels as a future energy.

According to Jarden, market confidence in Beach Energy will take some time to rebuild following the company's surprise -38% downgrade to the company's Western Flank reserves.

For investors willing to wait, Jarden believes there is upside to the Otway drilling, Waitsia LNG marketing and Trefoil development.

The broker expects investors will likely be waiting until FY24 for higher dividends, as significant investment will impact free cash flow ahead.

Beach Energy currently reports only its gross emissions, but has outlined a reduction target based on this. Jarden notes a reduction of -25% by FY25 is likely to be achieved through activities in the Western Flank coupled with lower output at BassGas.

Jarden sees value in Beach Energy as a smaller cap stock pick for the sector. Jarden initiates with an Overweight rating and a target price of $1.50.

BXB BRAMBLES LIMITED

Transportation & Logistics – Overnight Price: $11.30

Jarden rates ((BXB)) as Buy (2) –

Reflecting tight supply from lumber mills and elevated levels of demand from a range of lumber users, especially the US housing industry, lumber prices continue to rise for Brambles, increasing by more than double the prior year.

Jarden estimates lumber could have added around 4% points of inflation to Brambles' US Pallets cost base in the second half FY21.

Overall, the broker believes inflationary pressures are being effectively managed with better contract structures and surcharges, assisted by rational competition and tight supply of alternatives, like whitewood and recycled pallets.

Key risks highlighted by Jarden include irrational competition globally, ineffective inflation offsets, and pressure from higher capex.

The Overweight rating and target price of $11.85 both remain unchanged.

CBA COMMONWEALTH BANK OF AUSTRALIA

Banks – Overnight Price: $98.19

Goldman Sachs rates ((CBA)) as Sell (5) –

CommBank announced that it has entered an agreement to sell its Australian general insurance business to Hollard Group.

As part of the sale, CommBank will establish a 15-year strategic alliance with Hollard for the distribution of home and motor vehicle insurance products to the bank's Australian retail customers.

CommBank notes that the transaction’s upfront consideration is $625m.

But there are also deferred payments, subject to certain milestones, as well as additional investment from Hollard through the 15-year strategic alliance.

Goldman Sachs believes the transaction is entirely consistent with CommBank's strategy of simplifying the overall group, with a focus back on A&NZ banking, but still allowing customers to access non-bank product via strategic alliances.

Given CommBank's previous disclosures, the broker expects this is the last of the major transactions that the bank is likely to undertake to deliver on this simplification.

The Sell rating and target price of $80.26 are both retained.

CLU CLUEY LIMITED

Education & Tuition – Overnight Price: $1.03

Bell Potter rates ((CLU)) as Buy (1) –

Cluey has been selected by the NSW Government to be one of four providers for the $337m covid intensive learning support program, designed to provide ongoing student support following disruptions to the 2020 school year.

While it's difficult to assign value until take-up is achieved, the broker views this as a positive development, as it provides significant validation for the company's value proposition. It's also considered to show an appetite for additional learning support in Australia.

After adjusting assumptions applied to the relationship between the growth in core business and the cost of adding new students (CAC) to drive this growth, the analyst reduces its revenue forecasts by -15% and -12% in FY22 and FY23.

Bell Potter's Buy rating is retained and its target price falls to $1.70 from $1.80.

COE COOPER ENERGY LIMITED

Crude Oil – Overnight Price: $0.26

Jarden rates ((COE)) as Initiation of coverage with Overweight (2) –

Jarden has initiated on the oil and gas sector and provided detail on a number of companies as they address rising investor concerns about the role of fossil fuels as a future energy.

According to Jarden, Cooper Energy's focus is on identifying and resolving ongoing operational issues at the Orbost Gas Processing Plant and refinancing debt, but does note upside if both can be resolved in the next 18 months.

Identifying the root cause of foaming and fouling at Orbost has led to output well below capacity.

Cooper Energy announced in August 2020 that it was Australia's first carbon-neutral oil and gas company. Its 12,000 tonnes of reported emissions were offset through investment in an emissions project, and the company plans to remain carbon neutral.

Jarden sees value in Cooper Energy as a smaller cap stock pick for the sector. Jarden initiates with an Overweight rating and a target price of $0.32.

COL COLES GROUP LIMITED

Food, Beverages & Tobacco – Overnight Price: $17.05

Jarden rates ((COL)) as Neutral (3) –

A strategy update from Coles shows the company is guiding to capital expenditure of $1.4bn in FY22, compared to the expected $1.1bn spend in FY21.

While Citi notes directing 60% of that capital expenditure to growth in the next financial year is a good move, the broker highlights a lack of detail as to how this will help Coles differentiate itself from Woolworths ((WOW)), to which it remains three years behind.

According to Jarden the company was under invested before its demerger and will need to accelerate capital expenditure, with the broker noting retailers need to increase investment to drive longer-term competitive advantage.

The Neutral rating is retained and the target price decreases to $17.00 from $17.50.

Target price is $17.00 Current Price is $17.05 Difference: minus $0.05 (current price is over target).

CQE CHARTER HALL SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE REIT

Childcare – Overnight Price: $3.55

Moelis rates ((CQE)) as Hold (3) –

Charter Hall Social Infrastructure REIT's full-year distribution of 15.7cpu is in line with guidance and equates to a yield of 4.5%.

In addition, the REIT has declared a special distribution for the year of 4.0cpu, which serves to offset the impact of taxable capital gains that were accrued during the year.

Moelis notes the childcare sector is currently the subject of strong investor interest, with many transactions in NSW & VIC occurring at cap rates of less than 5%.

This follows the announcement in May 2021 that the federal budget now implies a 33% increase in childcare subsidies between FY21-FY25, which the broker regards as an important signal of the government’s support for the sector.

With the REIT trading at an implied cap rate of 5.2% and a 6% premium to revised net tangible assets, the broker views strong market conditions as largely priced-in.

Moelis' earnings forecasts are reduced slightly, due to increased management fees. As a result, the broker's target price reduces slightly to $3.52.

Hold rating is retained.

This report was published on June 22, 2021.

Target price is $3.52 Current Price is $3.55 Difference: minus $0.03 (current price is over target).

DDH DDH1 LIMITED

Overnight Price: $1.11

DDH1 is a recently-listed drilling company with a fleet of 100 rigs. It has favorable exposure to the exploration phase of mineral investment, but has proven it can grow through the cycle while maintaining impressive margins, points out Canaccord.

The analyst highlights the company is somewhat protected from current labour pressures with a revenue skewed towards productivity. It also maintained strong margins through the last downturn.

The broker notes the company has the balance sheet flexibility to grow, and is trading at a roughly -50% discount to its closest international peer. Canaccord Genuity initiates coverage with a Buy rating and a $1.32 price target.

This report was published on June 21, 2021.

IGO IGO LIMITED

Nickel – Overnight Price: $8.56

Canaccord Genuity rates ((IGO)) as Buy (1) –

In order to progress the completion of the sale of the stake in Tianqi's lithium business, IGO has announced a tax-sharing agreement with Tianqi.

The agreement means that the companies will share any unforeseen tax outcome in proportion with the JV interest (IGO 49%). There is also a clause that limits IGO's maximum exposure within the agreement, but the total was not given.

Canaccord Genuity views the announcement as a positive, removing doubt that the 30 June completion target would be met.

Based on Canaccord's estimates every -$50m in cash outflow would result in a -$0.06/share reduction in the broker's valuation of IGO.

On completion IGO will have transitioned from a nickel/gold producer to lithium/nickel producer, aligning itself with the lithium-ion supply chain with a strong growth profile.

The broker estimates IGO's earnings will transition from 75% nickel/copper-driven (25% lithium) in FY22 to 50% nickel/copper, 50% lithium in FY25.

The Buy and target price of $8.75 are both maintained.

OPY OPENPAY GROUP LIMITED

Business & Consumer Credit – Overnight Price: $1.41

Canaccord Genuity rates ((OPY)) as Buy (1) –

Canaccord Genuity believes Openpay's GBP11.5m acquisition of Payment Assist, a profitable BNPL provider in the UK automotive space, significantly increases the company's scale in the region and further demonstrates the company's focus on bigger-ticket categories with longer financing terms.

The broker assumes the acquisition settles in October, delivers slightly faster growth rates under Openpay ownership, and dilutes for all earn-out triggers. This sees the broker's group total transaction value forecasts increase by 15% in FY22 and 12% in FY23.

It also adds further confidence to the broker's expectation of earnings breakeven by the end of FY23.

Overnight Price: $3.50

Moelis rates ((PWR)) as Initiation of coverage with Buy (-1) –

Moelis initiates coverage on Peter Warren Automotive with a Buy rating, and a target price of $4.25, which implies a 17.8% total return to the broker's valuation over the next 12 months.

Peter Warren is an operator of 17 dealerships representing 27 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in NSW and QLD.

Key short-term drivers of growth Moelis has identified include abnormally strong margins until at least the end of calendar year 2021.

STO SANTOS LIMITED

NatGas – Overnight Price: $7.02

Jarden rates ((STO)) as Initiation of coverage with Sell (5) –

Jarden has initiated on the oil and gas sector and provided detail on a number of companies as they address rising investor concerns about the role of fossil fuels as a future energy.

While Santos has been the energy sector favourite in recent years, Jarden's view is that the stock is trading at significant premium to valuation. The company is preparing to invest as much as US$8.5bn over the next five years and this growth phase will impact the free cash flow enjoyed in recent years.

Jarden notes Santos has been the most proactive in discussing its emission reduction, abatement and offset plans, with the company's Moomba CCS project expected to play a role in a 1m tonne per annum emission reduction.

Santos is Jarden's third prefered large cap stock pick for the sector. Jarden initiates with a Sell rating and a target price of $5.65.

SXY SENEX ENERGY LIMITED

Crude Oil – Overnight Price: $3.39

Jarden rates ((SXY)) as Initiation of coverage with Buy (1) –

Jarden has initiated on the oil and gas sector and provided detail on a number of companies as they address rising investor concerns about the role of fossil fuels as a future energy.

Senex Energy is a standout for Jarden as it looks to execute on it's next round of Queensland coal seam gas developments. According to Jarden this focus offers a pipeline of value-accretive, relatively low-risk growth options.

Following the divestment of its Cooper Basin assets, Senex is now a pure Queensland coal seam gas company. Senex has outlined a 10m barrels of oil equivalent stretch target by FY25 which the broker views as achievable.

Senex is yet to outline emissions reductions, but Jarden notes its recent divestment should reduce previously reported emissions.

Senex Energy is Jarden's top small cap stock pick for the sector. Jarden initiates with a Buy rating and a target price of $4.10.

This report was published on June 17, 2021.

Jarden rates ((SYD)) as Sell (5) –

May traffic statistics revealed domestic passengers returned to 60.8% of their 2019 level, but were -9.5% down month-on-month. Jarden currently expects FY21 domestic passengers could return to around 78% of 2019 levels.

Meanwhile, international traffic continued to show minor improvements resulting from the travel bubble with New Zealand, explains the analyst. Jarden maintains its Sell rating and $4.90 target price.

The broker reiterates a cautious view that there are multiple uncertainties between FY21 and FY23. It's considered these could challenge the international recovery, and hence Sydney Airport's financial performance.

This report was published on June 18, 2021.

Target price is $4.90 Current Price is $7.91 Difference: minus $3.01 (current price is over target).
If SYD meets the Jarden target it will return approximately minus 38% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).

TRJ TRAJAN GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED

Overnight Price: $2.48

Canaccord Genuity rates ((TRJ)) as Initiation of coverage with Buy (1) –

Canaccord Genuity initiates coverage of Trajan Group Holdings with a Buy rating, and a target price of $2.86.

A Melbourne-based developer and manufacturer of analytical science instruments, devices, and solutions, Trajan's mission is to deliver value and impact through collaboration and agile commercial partnerships, developing leading technologies to deliver breakthrough analytical solutions to the world, the report explains.

Trajan listed on the ASX in June (last month) and expects part of the IPO funding to go toward two more acquisitions that it estimates could deliver an additional circa $45m in annual revenue.

Canaccord expects these acquisitions to make a partial contribution in FY22.

The broker thinks there will be potential valuation upside in gross margin uplift from investing in manufacturing infrastructure, smaller tuck-in acquisitions not reliant on IPO funding, and the commercialisation of new product opportunities sourced from historical R&D investment.

This report was issued on June 22, 2021.

Target price is $2.86 Current Price is $2.48 Difference: $0.38
If TRJ meets the Canaccord Genuity target it will return approximately 15% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

UWL UNITI GROUP LIMITED

Telecommunication – Overnight Price: $3.38

Canaccord Genuity rates ((UWL)) as Buy (1) –

Canaccord Genuity believes positive market dynamics for Uniti Group are likely to help see the company's contracted development pipeline of 200,000-plus premises for future fibre deployment potentially grow from that reported at first half FY21.

Canaccord also expects second half FY21 earnings to benefit from a high level of operations efficiency that the broker forecasts will result in improved near-term earnings.

The broker is now forecasting FY21 underlying earnings of $124.1m (up 6%), and face value FY21 earnings of $90.3m (up 2%), while FY22 earnings increase to $142.5m (up 8%).

Canaccord's upgrades, largely driven by higher margin expectations, reflect a high level of operational efficiency currently, which the broker expects to continue into FY22.

The Buy rating is unchanged and the target rises to $3.70 from $2.80.

This report was published on June 23, 2021.

VCX VICINITY CENTRES

REITs – Overnight Price: $1.52

Goldman Sachs rates ((VCX)) as Buy (1) –

Vicinity Centres' June-21 preliminary revaluations led to a total net valuation decline of -1.2% (-$164m) with its portfolio cap rate remaining unchanged at 5.49%.

Given that the bulk of the declines were seen in the CBD assets, Goldman Sachs believes the market will view the June valuation announcement as a positive for Vicinity.

With the environment remaining uncertain and challenging due to the prolonged impact from covid, Goldman Sachs believes CBD asset valuations will remain a key focus for investors.

Based on the broker's estimates, the market was already implying negative devaluations of -22% for the Vicinity portfolio and an implied cap rate of 7.0% (versus 5.49% book).

While a plateauing of asset valuations was expected, the broker would expect the performance of these assets to bounce back as CBD foot traffic returns – which may lead to positive revaluations.

The Buy rating and target price of $1.94 are retained.

This report was published on June 21, 2021.

Target price is $1.94 Current Price is $1.52 Difference: $0.42

WGX WESTGOLD RESOURCES LIMITED

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $1.93

Canaccord Genuity rates ((WGX)) as Buy (1) –

Due to the availability of operational personnel, haulage constraints, weather conditions and mine plan sequencing issues, Westgold Resources has flagged that FY21 production is now expected to be between 245–250koz at all-in costs (AISC) of $1,460-1,560/oz.

This sits against the original FY21 guidance of 270-300koz at an AISC of A $1,460-1,560/oz.

As a result, Canaccord Genuity has lowered the price target to $2.35 from $2.55.

While Canaccord maintains a Buy recommendation based on valuation, the broker continues to have a cautious investment approach to Westgold with conviction contingent on consistent production delivery in line with market expectations.

This report was issued June 21, 2021.

WPL WOODSIDE PETROLEUM LIMITED

NatGas – Overnight Price: $22.76

Jarden rates ((WPL)) as Initiation of coverage with Overweight (2) –

Jarden has initiated on the oil and gas sector and provided detail on a number of companies as they address rising investor concerns about the role of fossil fuels as a future energy. Investors are increasingly placing pressure on oil and gas companies to provide colour as to how they will manage the transition away from hydrocarbons.

It is Jarden's view that investor pressure will force the market to accept that a timeline to net zero emissions is inevitable and the conversation will shift to finding tangible steps to achieve this outcome, and the cost of achieving zero emissions on a more compressed timeframe.

Jarden notes value in Woodside Petroleum, but highlights the company faces a challenging year as it finalises costs for the proposed Scarborough LNG project with capital expenditure for the development potentially higher than market expectations.

Woodside has also provided the most detail about its emission activities and target, with short, medium, and long-term targets already in place.
