Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Aug 24, 2022

Daily Market Reports | Aug 24 2022

This story features ABACUS PROPERTY GROUP, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: ABP

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.

REITs – Overnight Price: $2.71

Jarden rates ((ABP)) as Overweight (2) –

Abacus Property's FY22 result pleased Jarden, slightly outpacing on some estimates, and the broker considers the company to be undervalued.

The company's storage assets delivered 16.1% growth on revenue per square metre in the June half, compared with 11.7% growth in the December half.

The broker surmises this should be sufficient to offset rising debt costs and a forecast slowing in Office (which represents the main risk to its rating).

Given rising debt costs, the company's steep -25% discount to net tangible assets and 30%-plus gearing, the broker says the prospect of acquisitions is slim, so expects asset recycling may be on the cards.

Overweight rating retained. Target price falls to $3.20 from $3.45.

This report was published on August 17, 2022.

Target price is $3.20 Current Price is $2.71 Difference: $0.49
If ABP meets the Jarden target it will return approximately 18% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

AIA    AUCKLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LIMITED

Infrastructure & Utilities – Overnight Price: $6.70

Jarden rates ((AIA)) as Underweight (4) –

Auckland International Airport reported FY22 results that were better than forecast with a loss of -NZ$11.6m compared to Jarden's forecast loss of -NZ$29.7m.

Over the period, international passenger volumes fell -88% and domestic was lower by -56%, providing a tough operating backdrop. However, the property division was noted as a "standout" with rental income rising 12.6% on the previous year and up 20% on FY19.

Management's FY23 guidance is lower than expected with domestic passengers returning to 82% of FY19 volumes and international at 59% of FY19 results. 

Jarden views these assumptions as conservative, although capital expenditure has been guided to increase to -NZ$600-NZ$700m from -NZ$253.1m in FY22.

The broker's earnings forecasts are adjusted by -37% and -16% for FY23 and FY24, respectively.

An Underweight rating and the price target is lowered to NZ$6.55 from NZ$6.65.

AIZ    AIR NEW ZEALAND LIMITED

Transportation & Logistics – Overnight Price: $0.60

Jarden rates ((AIZ)) as Upgrade to Neutral from Sell (3) –

Jarden upgrades Air New Zealand's rating to Neutral from Sell heading into its result on August 25, at which it expects the company will announce a profit-before-tax -NZ$707m loss.

This compares favourably with guidance of -NZ$750m.

The broker considers the FY23 outlook to be uncertain given the high cost of fuel and inflation, possible further covid disruption, shorter forward booking curve, and global slowing.

Jarden doubts guidance will be provided, although the forecast ramp-up may garner some cost guidance.

Nonetheless, the broker expects a step-up as NZ's borders reopen and upgrades earnings and costs. Target price rises to NZ72c from NZ65c.

This report was published on August 17, 2022.

Current Price is $0.60. Target price not assessed.

AMC    AMCOR PLC

Paper & Packaging – Overnight Price: $18.20

Jarden rates ((AMC)) as Neutral (3) –

Amcor continues to deliver in line earnings for FY22 according to Jarden and emphasises the investor appeal of the defensive earnings and free cash flow generation, as well as the strength of the company's balance sheet.

A further US$400m buyback was announced which Jarden expects will be executed from the 2Q23 with the operating outlook remaining strong. 

The Flexibles business will continue to benefit from the inflation-linked price increases and increasingly so in the Rigids business. Amcor expects the exit from Russia to provide a -4-5% headwind for FY23 earnings.

A Neutral rating given the significant share price outperformance and the target price is raised to $17.80 from $17.60.

This report was published on August 19, 2022.

Target price is $17.80 Current Price is $18.20 Difference: minus $0.4 (current price is over target).
If AMC meets the Jarden target it will return approximately minus 2% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $18.58, suggesting upside of 2.1%(ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Jarden forecasts a full year FY23 dividend of 67.59 cents and EPS of 114.05 cents.

APZ    ASPEN GROUP LIMITED

Real Estate – Overnight Price: $1.63

Moelis rates ((APZ)) as Buy (1) –

Aspen Group's FY22 result appears to have satisfied the broker, net asset value jumping 36% to $1.79 with another 16c forecast over the next six to 18 months as residential refurbishments are finalised.

EPS forecasts are roughly steady across FY23 to FY25.

Management points to continued momentum in FY23 and expects the number of acquisition opportunities to rise (values have been high despite economic weakness). Government programs are likely to directly and indirectly benefit the company, says the broker.

Buy rating retained. Target price lifts to $2.11 from $2.09.

This report was published on August 19, 2022.

Target price is $2.11 Current Price is $1.63 Difference: $0.48

ARU    ARAFURA RESOURCES LIMITED

Rare Earth Minerals – Overnight Price: $0.30

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

Arafura Resources reported a greater than expected FY22 loss of -$35.6m according to Bell Potter with project costs at Nolans largely accountable for the rise.

The Nolans costs should decelerate towards the end of 2022, when the final investment decision is taken. The project has secured project finance and offtake agreements and the analyst remains upbeat about the outlook for rare earth projects.

EPS forecasts are adjusted for the $41.5m capital raising in August with 157m shares issued at a $0.265 price per share, alongside 78m options at a $0.34 exercise price (February 24 expiry).

Speculative Buy rating retained. Target price falls to 54c from 56c.

ASX    ASX LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $80.91

Jarden rates ((ASX)) as Underweight (4) –

ASX reported FY22 earnings in line with expectations and just slightly ahead of Jarden's forecasts and marginally below consensus.

Revenues were supported by higher fees on futures and growth in information services, and offset by lower net interest income on collateral balances.

ASX management has guided to higher than expected cost growth of 10-11%, and Jarden views ongoing inflationary risks and cost pressures tipping into FY24 estimates as depreciation and amortisation rise with the replacement of the CHESS system, assuming it eventuates.

Jarden earnings forecasts are adjusted by -1.4% for FY23 and 1.1% for FY24. An Underweight rating is retained and the target price is lowered to $74.45 from $76.10.

This report was published on August 18, 2022.

Target price is $74.45 Current Price is $80.91 Difference: minus $6.46 (current price is over target).
If ASX meets the Jarden target it will return approximately minus 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).

BLX    BEACON LIGHTING GROUP LIMITED

Furniture & Renovation – Overnight Price: $2.38

Jarden rates ((BLX)) as Downgrade to Neutral from Overweight (3) –

Beacon Lighting reported better than expected FY22 earnings, with strength in both retail and trade sales alongside margin improvements.

Management offered an upbeat outlook with a 25% growth target for FY23 including five new store openings and an expected 37% rise in the residential volume order book. Margins rose to "premiumisation" of products, price increases and new products.

Jarden highlights Beacon Lighting has outperformed market expectations, but the forecast deterioration in the macro outlook towards the 2H23 and 1H24 will lead to a slower growth profile for the company.

The price target is upgraded to $2.30 from $2.00 and the rating is downgraded to Neutral from Overweight as the stock is seen as fairly valued.

This report was published on August 18, 2022.

Target price is $2.30 Current Price is $2.38 Difference: minus $0.08 (current price is over target).
If BLX meets the Jarden target it will return approximately minus 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).

BXB    BRAMBLES LIMITED

Transportation & Logistics – Overnight Price: $12.64

Jarden rates ((BXB)) as Overweight (2) –

Brambles' FY22 result pleased Jarden, and the broker says figures to date suggest the December half will be "good enough to hang around for", while the dividend sharply outpaced.

Jarden expects core pricing and surcharge initiatives will drive an 8% to 9% rise in EPS across FY23 to FY25, much of which it expects will be skewed to the December FY23 half, and considers the company to be well placed to manage inflation.

The result revealed unexpected strength in CHEP Americas. Free cash flow outpaced guidance but the broker says Brambles needs to ease up on capital intensity.

Overweight rating retained. Target price rises to $12.60 from $11.60.

This report was published on August 18, 2022.

Target price is $12.60 Current Price is $12.64 Difference: minus $0.04 (current price is over target).
If BXB meets the Jarden target it will return approximately minus 0% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).

CDA    CODAN LIMITED

Hardware & Equipment – Overnight Price: $7.24

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

With Codan delivering a record full year result more or less in line with Canaccord Genuity's expectations, the broker highlighted better than expected performance from the DTC and Zetron acquisitions. 

Looking ahead, company management guided to strong growth in Communications in the coming year, while Metal Detection looks to continue to face headwinds, particularly in the first half.

Canaccord Genuity notes new product launches should support growth in the second half. The Buy rating is retained and the target price decreases to $10.05 from $10.60.

This report was published on August 19, 2022.

Target price is $10.05 Current Price is $7.24 Difference: $2.81

Moelis rates ((CDA)) as Buy (1) –

Codan's FY22 top-line result proved a mixed bag for Moelis, communications acquisitions outperforming to comprise 29% of group earnings (EBIT) but organic group earnings (EBITDA) falling -19% after gold detector sales slumped in Sudan.

While metal detection EBIT margin grew, overall costs generally disappointed.

Moelis expects growth to be underpinned by new metal detector releases, continued strength in the communications pipeline, more distribution channels, on-the-ground business development, and the entry into new markets in India and South America.

The broker appreciates the strong return on investment capital and balance sheet. Buy rating retained. Target price slips to $10.20 from $10.60.

This report was published on August 19, 2022.

Target price is $10.20 Current Price is $7.24 Difference: $2.96

CSL    CSL LIMITED

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $289.80

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

Revenue guidance for FY23 suggests to Goldman Sachs that the growth profile will still be limited by Behring restocking. 

The broker believes CSL has applied a "typical dose" of conservatism to its 7-11% growth guidance, although the trough in gross margins at Behring has likely passed.

Vaccines continue to outperforrm expectations, countering the continuing difficulties with plasma collections. Neutral maintained. Target is reduced to $291 from $307.

This report was published on August 18, 2022.

Target price is $291.00 Current Price is $289.80 Difference: $1.2

Jarden rates ((CSL)) as Overweight (2) –

CSL's FY22 result met guidance, but FY23 guidance, excluding Vi-for, fell -10% short of Jarden's forecasts, as gross margins disappointed.

Behring's gross margin particularly disappointed the broker, who expects this could fall further in FY23. EPS forecasts fall -7.5% in FY23; -8.6% in FY24; and -2% in FY25 accordingly.

Jarden expects margins to bottom in the December half, after which it says the prospect of a sharp recovery can't be ruled out as the cost profile starts to normalise and inventory cycles out.

Overweight rating retained. Target price slips to $333.97 from $336.81.

Jarden rates ((DHG)) as Neutral (3) –

Domain Holdings Australia FY22 reported earnings were softer than expected from higher costs with a slight beat on revenue, according to Jarden.

The broker adjusts FY23 earnings for a stronger guidance on yield, the contribution from acquisitions made in FY22 and the company guidance on the cost base.

DXS    DEXUS

REITs – Overnight Price: $8.73

Jarden rates ((DXS)) as Underweight (4) –

Jarden views the FY22 Dexus funds from operations as in line with expectations and consensus.

However, the analyst points out Dexus has provided an "underwhelming" dividend guidance of 50-51.5c for FY23, which is well below Jarden's expectations and market consensus.

Jarden considers the valuation conundrum for investors.

Dexus trades at a -24% discount to NTA with no value ascribed for the Funds Management and Development pipeline, but the outlook for office, the largest exposure for the group, is likely to deteriorate before it improves, giving reason for investor caution.

An Underweight rating is maintained and the target price is lowered to $10 from $10.60.

EHL    EMECO HOLDINGS LIMITED

Mining Sector Contracting – Overnight Price: $0.89

Jarden rates ((EHL)) as Buy (1) –

Emeco Holdings missed on FY22 earnings, notes Jarden, although the de-rating in the shares over the last 12 months is viewed by the analyst as more discounting the potential for further earnings downgrades for the market.

Pit N Portal continues to restructure from a difficult contract and Emeco Holdings is optimistic that the issues will be resolved in the 1H23, while the Rental business is exhibiting improved utilisation rates in Eastern regions and is stable in the Western region.

Jarden is forecasting flat FY23 margins and concludes the new $6.7m on market share buyback is indicative of a strong balance sheet.

REITs – Overnight Price: $1.28

Jarden rates ((HDN)) as Overweight (2) –

FY22 results for HomeCo Daily Needs REIT were broadly in line with both Jarden and consensus forecasts. FY23 guidance is for 8.6cpu funds from operations (FFO), a miss versus the broker and consensus of -4.8% and -3.1%.

The broker notes three of the company's biggest contracts are going live in the next six months, setting up FY23 for a strong start. No formal FY23 guidance was provided though earnings (EBIT) margins are expected to be stable within a range.

The analyst assesses the return on investment (ROI) from capital reinvestment is the most accretive, when compared to potential M&A or other investment alternatives.  As a result, a higher relative number of shares bought back in FY22 compared to prior years is considered a positive.

Jarden rates ((RBL)) as Neutral (3) –

According to Jarden, the Redbubble FY22 earnings results were in line with expectations and the EBITDA loss was better than forecast due to lower paid acquisition costs.

The company offered an "uncertain" earnings outlook but did note slowing headcount hiring to 4% from 30% in FY22.

The broker's earnings forecasts are lowered by -5% for FY23 and -9% for FY24, adjusting for lower customer growth estimates due to macro headwinds and uncertainty around the outlook for the consumer.

Software & Services – Overnight Price: $3.28

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

ReadyTech's FY22 result pleased Goldman Sachs.

The broker says the FY22 result was in line with top-line momentum exceeding expectations thanks to growth across all segments and a shift up to larger enterprises.

FY23 guidance also outpaced expectations but the broker cut the target price to $4.30, after raising it slightly to $4.75 heading into the result on August 11. No explanation was given for the discrepancy.

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

ReadyTech's FY22 revenue and earnings (EBITDA) outpaced guidance, and Shaw and Partners says FY23 guidance implies growth in the mid teens.

The broker appreciates the company's execution, noting acquisitions are contributing; that ReadyTech is winning larger customer; and that its high-conviction pipeline has risen sharply.

The company has increased its FY26 revenue target to $160m from $140m.

Headline EBITDA and margins weakened and capitalisation rose, as did like-for-like expenses, none of which surprised the broker given FY22 was a tough year for IT wage inflation. But Shaw expects wage inflation has peaked and spies growth for EBITDA cash margins. 

Buy rating retained. Target price rises to $4.60 from $4.40.

Ridley Corp released a "strong" FY22 earnings report according to Wilsons, with a beat from Packaged Feeds & Ingredients and a miss from Bulk Stockfeeds, Packaged Feeds & Ingredients.

The 4c dividend per share was a 100% increase on the previous year and above the broker's forecast of 3.4c while the -31% miss on operational cashflow resulted from a strategic increase in inventory.

Wilsons' earnings forecasts are adjusted by 2% in FY23 and 5% in FY24 which do not include the share buyback that would add 3% to EPS, if deployed.

An Overweight rating is retained and the target price is raised to $2.21 from $1.95 for changes in earnings and a higher valuation.

The company intends to make -$520m in acquisitions in FY23, assisted by $300m in new equity ($225m institutional placement and $25m retail share purchase), including IBA for $301m (IBA's vendors should receive $56m in stock).

Jobs & Skilled Labour Services – Overnight Price: $21.40

Jarden rates ((SEK)) as Overweight (2) –

Seek's reported FY22 results came in better than Jarden's expectations with the company providing updated guidance which the broker believes disappointed the market.

SGM    SIMS LIMITED

Steel & Scrap – Overnight Price: $15.32

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

Sims' FY22 result met guidance and consensus, the company logging steady earnings (EBITDA) of roughly 10%.

Goldman Sachs says the SA recycling business in the US proved the star, thanks to recent acquisitions. Group scrap sales outpaced by 1%, again thanks to acquisitions.

The company closed the year in a "modest" net debt position due to a bump up in working capital, which the broker expects will unwind this September quarter.

Management reports limited visibility to the December half given inflation and supply-chain challenges, but the broker notes weakness is already emerging in Europe and Turkey. 

EPS forecasts fall -4% in FY23; -5% in FY24 and -6% in FY25 to reflect higher corporate costs and forecast declines in scrap volumes from Britain, Australia and New Zealand.

Net asset value falls -3% but target price rises 11% to $16.70 given below mid-cycle earnings near term. Neutral rating retained.

This report was published on August 17, 2022.

STO    SANTOS LIMITED

NatGas – Overnight Price: $7.56

Jarden rates ((STO)) as Overweight (2) –

Santos's FY22 underlying profit outpaced consensus and Jarden's forecasts by 12% to 13%, thanks primarily to one-off income items, a lower tax rate and derivatives gains.

The receipt of a final investment decisions for Alaska's Pikka Phase 1 was earlier than expected.

The broker says that while Santos's failure to sell or part-sell its 51% stake in Pikka disappointed many, Jarden believes the numbers stack up given widening asset value spreads between buyer and sellers given differing views on commodity prices and inflation and regulatory risks.

Jarden expects the PNG LNG sales proceeds will likely be allocated to more buybacks in 2023.

Target price slips to $8.40 from $8.60 to reflect a cut in the Dorado valuation and risks to growth opportunities. Overweight rating retained.

SUL    SUPER RETAIL GROUP LIMITED

Automobiles & Components – Overnight Price: $10.42

Jarden rates ((SUL)) as Downgrade to Neutral from Buy (3) –

Super Retail's FY22 earnings (EBITDA) outpaced consensus and Jarden forecasts by 10%, after posting a solid performance across all business, albeit the quality being mixed. Macpac and Rebel proved the standouts.

Overheads disappointed due to a -$5.9m writedown of Autoguru.

Cash flow softened due to a 15% jump in tax, inventory and payable timing, but the broker expects this will normalise in FY23, only to be replaced by costs related to CRM investment (which the broker considers to be a net positive).

Meanwhile, like-for-like sales jumped 17% in the first six weeks of FY23 and the broker is forecasting lower inflation and wages growth.

EPS forecasts rise 11% to 15% across FY23 to FY25.

Rating is downgraded to Neutral from Overweight following recent share price strength. Target price jumps to $10.75 from $9.70.

TLX    TELIX PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $6.08

Bell Potter rates ((TLX)) as Speculative Buy (1) –

Bell Potter highlights the 1H22 revenues for Telix Pharmaceuticals were in line with expectations, although operating costs came in higher than forecast.

Illuccix reported revenues of US$9.1m in July which the broker sees as very "encouraging" with growth expected to accelerate as the product moves through the Cardinal Health distribution networks.

Bell Potter makes notable changes to the FY22 and FY23 forecasts to account for sales of US$15m/month of Illucix, and higher operating expenses, resulting in greater losses in FY22 and lower earnings in FY23.

Post the $175m January capital raise, the company has cash on hand of $122m. The price target is lowered to $8.65 from $9.00 with a Speculative Buy rating.

This report was published on August 18, 2022.

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

Telix Pharmaceuticals reported a 1H22 loss of -$70m which was higher than market expectations, according to Wilsons.

Encouragingly the launch of Illuccix generated sales of US$9m for July with disbursement support in the US.

Wilsons remains conservative on the outlook for Illuccix sales, noting competitor pressures from Lantheus and Novartis as well as slower growth in the largest segment of the market, the "community referral to radiology providers" which relies on medical education.

The broker's earnings forecasts are adjusted for 1H22 results, noting the $122m cash on hand should help support profitability by FY24 without further equity raisings.

Overweight rating and $8.50 target price are retained.

This report was published on August 19, 2022.

VCX    VICINITY CENTRES

REITs – Overnight Price: $1.90

Jarden rates ((VCX)) as Overweight (2) –

Post the FY22 result, Jarden retains an Overweight rating for Vicinity Centres and shaves the target price to $2.15 from $2.20.

The broker says the covid recovery for malls is punching ahead and expects Vicinity Centres will post a five-year compound annual growth rate of 5% in funds from operations (FFO) and dividends per unit (DPU), despite a rising interest rate and a forecast slowing in consumer demand.

Jarden expects news on the development pipeline and possible growth in fund management plans could generate further growth (although this is not included in current forecasts or valuation).

FFO and DPU forecasts are cut -3.6% to -9.6% across FY23 to FY25 to reflect slower than forecast rent recovery and higher debt cost.

Overweight rating retained. Target price is shaved to $2.15 from $2.20.

WSP    WHISPIR LIMITED

Cloud services – Overnight Price: $1.03

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

Whispir's largely pre-announced FY22 result was in line. 

Shaw and Partners was surprised at the lack of FY23 annual recurring revenue and general revenue guidance ranges, which has traditionally been issued along with the result.

But management did reiterate all of its break-even guidance. Shaw assumes FY23 revenue of $76m and a cash burn of -$13m.

All-in, the story remains intact, despite North America momentum reversing in the June half, and the Singtel relationship is expected to be a strong driver of growth through the Asian region.

A Buy rating and $3.50 price target are maintained.
