Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Aug 09, 2021

Daily Market Reports | Aug 09 2021

This story features EAGERS AUTOMOTIVE LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: APE

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.

The copyright of this Report is owned by the publisher. Readers will not copy, forward or disseminate this Report to any other person. For more vital information about the sources included, see the bottom of this Report.

Automobiles & Components – Overnight Price: $16.07

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

Eagers Automotive expects to report underlying operating profit before tax (PBT) from continuing operations of approximately $218.6m in first half FY21, comfortably ahead of Bell Potter's forecast of $204.1m.

As a result, the broker has upgraded underlying operating PBT estimates from continuing operations in 2021, 2022, and 2023 by 9%, 15%, and 8%.

Bell Potter is now forecasting underlying operating PBT in 2021 of $409.5m which assumes a second-half result of $190.9m which is lower than the first half. But the broker notes there is no contribution from the Daimler business in the second half and forecasts allow for some impact from the current Sydney lockdown.

The upgrades in 2022 and 2023 are driven by the broker's view that the current “utopia” environment will continue well into next year as the current shortage in semiconductor chips – which is, in turn, constraining new vehicle supply – looks set to continue well into 2022 and potentially even into 2023.

Buy rating unchanged and the target price increases to $18.75 from $17.50.

This report was published on July 30, 2021.

Target price is $18.75 Current Price is $16.07 Difference: $2.68

AT1    ATOMO DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED

Medical Equipment & Devices – Overnight Price: $0.23

Bell Potter rates ((AT1)) as Buy (1) –

Atomo Diagnostics has entered into a global agreement with Unitaid for its HIV self-test, and an initial order is for 500,000 units.

Due to timing on the contracts, which has pushed out revenue into FY22, the broker has downgraded revenue forecasts for FY21-FY23 by double-digit percentages.

Bell Potter believes the nature of new OEM contracts could materially change the growth profile for the stock in FY23 and beyond over and above current forecasts, which in turn could also provide an earlier path to profitability than the broker's current FY25 assumption.

Buy rating is unchanged, and the price target is lowered to $0.37 from $0.60.

This report was issued July 30, 2021.

BGA    BEGA CHEESE LIMITED

Dairy – Overnight Price: $5.14

With modest FY22 industry supply growth and late-season farmgate competition, Bell Potter has moderated milk supply forecasts for Bega Cheese, resulting in net profit downgrades of -10% in FY22 and -9% in FY23.

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

Buy rating is unchanged and the target price is lowered to $6.35 from $7.00.

CCX    CITY CHIC COLLECTIVE LIMITED

Apparel & Footwear – Overnight Price: $5.25

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

Canaccord Genuity reports ongoing consumer demand recovery in the Northern Hemisphere has compensated for domestic trading restrictions impacting City Chic Collective in the second half. The company has updated guidance for FY21 suggesting an 8% beat on underlying earnings forecasts.

City Chic Collective has acquired Navabi for $9.6m cash, which the broker notes should expand European distribution. Navabi generated 5.8m visits and $16.6m in sales in FY20.

Canaccord Genuity updates underlying earnings by 8%, 5% and 8% for FY21, FY22 and FY23. It is the broker's view that City Chic Collective should benefit from increased brand awareness in the medium term.

CUV    CLINUVEL PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $26.72

Moelis rates ((CUV)) as Hold (3) –

Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals reported $14.9m in cash receipts in fourth quarter FY21, up 43% on the previous period, bringing FY21 cash receipts to $38.7m, up 32% on the previous period.

Given payment terms in the US are substantially longer than the EU (averaging ~90 days), Moelis expect reported revenue to be $4-6m ahead of the cash receipts numbers.

Despite revenue downgrades in the EU and the US, the broker's FY21-22 earnings per share upgrades reflect lower costs due to covid delays associated with R&D.

Hold rating and target price of $32.50 are both unchanged.

This report was published on July 31, 2021.

Wilsons rates ((CUV)) as Market Weight (3) –

Highlights of Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals fourth quarter FY21 update included total cash receipts for the quarter of $14.9m, with second-half FY21 cash receipts up 24% on first-half FY21 reflecting both growth and the consistent seasonal skew to SCENESSE revenues.

There is no change to Wilsons forecasts at this time, however, the broker is mindful that further disclosure at the FY21 result next month may highlight upside to existing revenue and opex assumptions.

Market weight rating is retained, and the target price is $29.82.

This report was published on July 30, 2021.

DDH    DDH1 LIMITED

Mining Sector Contracting – Overnight Price: $1.18

DDH1's latest update suggests the company has beat FY21 underlying earnings forecast by 8%, leading Canaccord Genuity to increase earnings per share estimates for FY21 and FY22 by 16% and 18% respectively.

The broker notes the strong result appears to be driven by higher-than-expected rig utilisation, strong operating margins and a $2.3m training incentive. The broker expects further utilisation increase to drive 18% earnings growth in FY22.

It is the broker's view that DDH1's stock is attractively valued compared to most domestic peers. The Buy rating is retained and the target price increases to $1.48 from $1.32.

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

Frontier Digital Ventures released a strong second-quarter FY21 trading update, with run rates improving across the majority of the company's operating businesses quarter-on-quarter.

Driven by better than expected revenue performance by Zameen & Pakwheels, Bell Potter has upgraded Portfolio Revenue estimates for Frontier Digital Ventures by 2-3%.

Bell Potter continues to see signs of improving operating leverage across the company's operating companies, which the broker notes could see Frontier well placed to deliver strong profitability as the portfolio continues to scale revenues through transaction facilitation.

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

Fortescue Metals delivered record quarterly iron ore production and shipments in the June quarter and expects a further 3-5Mt of production creep in FY22 with guidance of 180-185Mt.

While the hematite operations are performing strongly, capex and opex guidance for FY22 is higher than Goldman Sachs estimates. The group has also guided to US$500m of total spend on Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) with very little disclosure on projects and the benefits.

The broker's FY21 earnings per share estimate is up 2% on the better shipments and price realisations in the June quarter, and the net asset value (NAV) is down -4% to $12.23/sh on the lower net cash position and higher capex and opex across iron ore and FFI.

Jarden rates ((JHG)) as Buy (2) –

Driven by higher performance fees, elevated management fee margins, and expert cost management, Janus Henderson Group's 15% adjustment to second quarter FY21 earnings per share was ahead of both Jarden and Consensus estimates.

While the percentage of assets under management (AUM) outperforming benchmark improved slightly on a 3-year basis – from 62% to 66% – Goldman Sachs notes this was due mostly to an improvement in Quantitative Equities – 23% of which is currently outperforming benchmark, from 4% – which remains in sizable outflows (-13% annualised).

The broker notes the percentage of fund under management (FUM) outperforming benchmark on 1 year (66%) and 3-year (66%) in second-quarter FY21 has yet to improve compared with the post-merger averages of 65% and 67%, respectively – over which time the group experienced outflows of 5% annualised.

With fund performance remaining stagnant, Goldman Sachs expects outflows to continue with downside risks here.

The Underweight rating is retained and the target price increases to $52 from $47.70.

MQG    MACQUARIE GROUP LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $157.78

Goldman Sachs rates ((MQG)) as Neutral (3) –

Within its first quarter FY22 trading update, Macquarie Group noted that operating group contributions were significantly up on the previous period due to improved trading conditions.

Goldman Sachs believes the strong quarterly performance and unchanged divisional guidance suggest the business is run-rating broadly in line with the broker's expectations, which currently has the group's FY22 net profit broadly in line with FY21.

While a reduction in the target payout ratio would normally bode poorly for an Australian financial, given the group's very strong track record in investing incremental capital at a solid return above its cost of capital, Goldman Sachs thinks the market will be more than comfortable with what the broker see as a sensible decision by the Board.

Total outdoor ad spend in the first half was 20.4% versus 1H20, but still down -21.4% versus 1H19. Retail Outdoor recovered the quickest of the categories, and is now down -3.0% versus the 1H19. Aviation is still lagging behind the most, and is -83.1% lower than 1H19 levels.

Aside from Transit and Sporting Venues, all subcategories’ ad spend decreased in June versus May, due to the recent lockdowns, explains the broker.

OZL    OZ MINERALS LIMITED

Copper – Overnight Price: $22.42

JP Morgan rates ((OZL)) as Overweight (1) –

After June quarterly results, JP Morgan believes the outlook remains strong from a commodity, operational and growth perspective, and
retains its Overweight rating while lifting its target price to $28 from $27.

The broker highlights solid performances at the Australian operations. This was particularly the case for Prominent Hill, which saw production and costs beat forecasts, with guidance upgraded for gold production and costs lowered.

A difficult quarter at Antas on covid-19 delays, and higher capex at Carrapateena were modest disappointments for the analyst.

PBH    POINTSBET HOLDINGS LIMITED

Gaming – Overnight Price: $10.00

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

PointsBet Holdings' fourth quarter FY21 US turnover of $482m was up around 1000% on the previous period, taking FY21 turnover to $1.8bn.

At the group level, while combined turnover of $1bn in the quarter was softer than Goldman Sachs estimates, the group net win of $60.8m was significantly ahead of the broker's implied $35m forecast.

The broker continues to see PointsBet well-placed to carve out a niche position within the burgeoning US sports betting and iGaming market, with significant upside if it were to reach 10% market share at maturity.

The broker also sees the potential for the Canadian opening as a big positive which is not reflected in consensus numbers.

The Buy rating and target price of $17.20 are retained.

This report was published on July 29, 2021.

PLY    PLAYSIDE STUDIOS LIMITED

Gaming – Overnight Price: $0.39

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

Canaccord Genuity initiates coverage on one of Australia's largest independent video game developers, Playside Studios. The company has developed games with Disney, Warner Bros and Nickelodeon, and has recently secured rights to produce mobile games based on the Legally Blonde and The Godfather movies, both expected to launch in FY22.

The broker notes the development of these games is a critical inflection point for the company, given these are the first video games Playside Studios will develop directly, rather than under contract. 

Gaming is a US$176bn business, with mobile gaming accounting for more than half of industry revenue. Canaccord Genuity sees significant revenue upside potential for the company if either game is successful.

The analyst sees limited impact from the current lockdown, and forecasts FY21-FY23 EPS of 7.6c, 8.2c and 9.0c, respectively, and DPS of 4.6cps in FY21 and 5.3 cps in FY22.

REH    REECE LIMITED

Furniture & Renovation – Overnight Price: $24.08

JP Morgan rates ((REH)) as Underweight (5) –

Ahead of results season, JP Morgan estimates the valuation for Reece is stretched, with current multiples baking in near-perfect execution of the US strategy.

While there is ample scope to grow its position in the US over time, the analyst cautions the US market is highly competitive, with pure-play wholesale distributors and big box stores all fighting for share.

JP Morgan notes Reece has not provided guidance, leaving it more exposed to a beat/miss share price reaction on the day. The broker retains its Underweight rating and lifts is target price to $14 from $13.75.

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $2.55

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

Regis Resources June quarter gold production of 114koz, including the recently acquired Tropicana mine was in line with Goldman Sachs and consensus.

Largely driven by higher grade and production at DSO on contributions from the Rosemont underground, all-in costs of $1,387/oz were -4% better than Goldman Sachs estimates.

After the slightly stronger quarter, the broker's FY21 earnings and earnings per share (EPS) estimates are up by 8%, and 9%, while FY22 earnings and EPS estimates are down -3% and -7% on slightly higher group cash costs and after trimming forecast grades from the Rosemont underground.

SDV    SCIDEV LIMITED

Industrial Sector Contractors & Engineers – Overnight Price: $0.96

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

SciDev's June quarter revenue of $13.2m is a 18% quarter-on-quarter increase and a 141% increase on the previous corresponding period. While full year revenue of $42.7 was a small miss on Canaccord Genuity's forecast, it was still a 136% increase on FY20 revenue.

It is Canaccord Genuity's view that SciDev is well-positioned to gain meaningful market share, and that the company's track record in recent years is demonstrative of successful strategy.

With the broker forecasting revenue for FY22 of over $70m, it points to FY18 revenue of around $2m as proof of the company's execution in recent years. Further, Canaccord Genuity sees potential for material contract wins in coming months.

The Buy rating is retained and the target price increases to $1.36 from $1.32.

The company expects to report significant improvements in full year profit for FY21 compared to the previous financial year, with Canaccord Genuity forecasting underlying earnings of $1.3m. 

Further, it is the broker's view that Secos Group is well positioned for continued strong growth in FY22, benefiting from planned capacity expansion to further benefit from the global shift away from single use plastics.

SFR    SANDFIRE RESOURCES LIMITED

Copper – Overnight Price: $6.97

Goldman Sachs rates ((SFR)) as Neutral (3) –

Sandfire Resources reported a largely flat quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) with copper and gold production of 18.3kt/9.0koz in-line with Goldman Sachs estimates.

Cash costs increased 7% QoQ to US$0.93/lb in fourth quarter bringing full-year costs to US$0.82/lb and within guidance.

With the mining license now having been granted, the Botswana/T3 project is progressing to plan, allowing the Government to acquire up to 15% at its discretion, which could result in a $120m cash injection with a sell down on Goldman Sachs estimates.

The broker has revised FY21 and FY22 earnings per share estimates by -26%, and 18% on lower than expected gold production, concentrate sales, and copper provisional pricing gains in the June quarter, and for FY22 lower than expected costs and higher than expected gold production.

Neutral rating is retained, target price increases 1% to $7.80.

TSI    TOP SHELF INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

Food, Beverages & Tobacco – Overnight Price: $1.90

Wilsons rates ((TSI)) as Overweight (1) –

Wilsons has lowered net profit forecasts by $2.0-2.5m p.a., with more favourable gross margins offset by higher sales and marketing spend and higher interest expense.

The broker remains attracted to the significant sales momentum in the business and substantial asset base in place to support growth.
