Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Sep 07, 2023

Daily Market Reports | Sep 07 2023

This story features ADBRI LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: ABC

An additional news report on the recommendation, valuation, forecast and opinion changes and updates 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.

ABC    ADBRI LIMITED

Building Products & Services – Overnight Price: $2.13

Jarden rates ((ABC)) as Neutral (3) –

First half results were in line with expectations. Jarden is mostly concerned about the softening residential outlook coinciding with a period of significant capital expenditure. This will put further pressure on Adbri's already-stretched balance sheet.

Hence, the broker was not surprised there was no interim dividend. Neutral rating retained and, given the inflation cost pressures on capital expenditure projects, prefers Boral ((BLD)) among the domestic heavy-construction plays. Target is raised to $2.26 from $1.71.

This report was published on August 29, 2023.

BXB    BRAMBLES LIMITED

Transportation & Logistics – Overnight Price: $15.12

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

FY23 results were slightly ahead of Goldman Sachs' estimates. Brambles has guided to sales growth of 6-8% in FY24, which the broker observes is largely driven by price as volume growth remains subdued.

While cash generation has improved, Goldman Sachs asserts this is factored into the share price and retains a Sell rating. FY24 EBIT estimates are lifted by 8% and the target increases 12% to $13.95.

This report was published on August 30, 2023.

Target price is $13.95 Current Price is $15.12 Difference: minus $1.17 (current price is over target).

COE    COOPER ENERGY LIMITED

Crude Oil – Overnight Price: $0.12

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

Jarden observes Cooper Energy is entering a key period as it seeks to increase average output at Orbost by at least 15%, undertake BMG decommissioning and await the outcome of the Otway JV partner's planned exit.

The issues create uncertainty, although Jarden believes much of the upside is not factored into the current share price. Hence, an Overweight rating is maintained with the target lowered to 21c from 22c.

This report was published on August 29, 2023.

CTD    CORPORATE TRAVEL MANAGEMENT LIMITED

Travel, Leisure & Tourism – Overnight Price: $17.87

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

Reflecting the FY23 result and the latest industry trends, Goldman Sachs revises transaction value forecasts up by 7-11% for FY24-26. The broker continues to believe there is significant opportunity for Corporate Travel Management in the SME market given industry consolidation.

Corporate transaction volumes have recovered and a further recovery is expected in FY24 with the broker noting 89% of revenue is on a transaction basis and this will drive growth. Buy rating reiterated. Target is reduced to $21.60 from $22.40.

This report was published on August 31, 2023.

CUP    COUNT LIMITED

Commercial Services & Supplies – Overnight Price: $0.55

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

Count's FY23 earnings were ahead of Wilsons' estimates and the quality was considered better, with net cash well ahead. No quantitative guidance was provided and the focus remains on M&A.

Going forward, the broker expects wealth should continue to build organic growth while accounting will benefit from recent acquisitions. Wilsons retains an Overweight rating and raises the target to $1.05 from $0.90.

This report was published on August 31, 2023.

Target price is $1.05 Current Price is $0.55 Difference: $0.5

DDR    DICKER DATA LIMITED

Hardware & Equipment – Overnight Price: $9.70

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

Goldman Sachs makes few estimate changes following the trading update and first half result. Net working capital levels are expected to remain relatively elevated, reflecting Dicker Data's confidence in the demand outlook rather than the supply chain constraints experienced in FY21/22.

The main focus going forward is the demand for hardware, particularly PCs. Goldman Sachs believes the industry is at, or close to, a  cyclical bottom in terms of PC demand, although is less convinced of a 2024 refresh super cycle. Just a return to growth off a lower post-pandemic base. Neutral retained. Target is unchanged at $9.35.

This report was published on August 30, 2023.

Target price is $9.35 Current Price is $9.70 Difference: minus $0.35 (current price is over target).

FLT    FLIGHT CENTRE TRAVEL GROUP LIMITED

Travel, Leisure & Tourism – Overnight Price: $19.96

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

Flight Centre Travel's FY23 results were largely in line with prior guidance and Goldman Sachs notes corporate travel industry volumes have recovered to 70-75% of FY19 levels.

The broker increases FY24-26 revenue estimates by 3-10% but net profit by only 4-7% because of slightly higher pre-tax margins that are offset by higher taxes.

The broker highlights Flight Centre will allocate 50-60% oof net profit for dividends or buybacks from FY24. Neutral rating retained. Target is $22.50.

This report was published on August 31, 2023.

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

Flight Centre Travel's FY23 results were largely in line with expectations and this represents a major turnaround, Wilsons asserts. The 2% pre-tax profit margin target for FY25 remains a priority, although the broker notes this is still not firmed up in guidance.

Dividends have resumed sooner than expected and Flight Centre is targeting paying out 50-60% of net profit via either dividends or buybacks. Overweight retained. Target is reduced to $23.80 from $26.19.

Medical Equipment & Devices – Overnight Price: $20.33

Jarden rates ((FPH)) as Neutral (3) –

Jarden updates forecasts to include the latest trading update and first half guidance from Fisher & Paykel Healthcare. Management has indicated that, over the first four months of the first half, revenue from OSA masks was stronger and hospital hardware marginally lower than previously assumed.

No material change was made to the NZ$1.7bn revenue guidance provided in May although this comes at slightly improved FX rates.

Jarden retains a Neutral rating and, while acknowledging the attractive growth outlook, notes next few years will require strong execution to rebuild towards long-term target margins. Target is reduced to NZ$23.00 from NZ$24.50.

HLS    HEALIUS LIMITED

Healthcare services – Overnight Price: $2.69

Goldman Sachs rates ((HLS)) as No Rating (-1) –

In FY23, Goldman Sachs notes Healius was challenged, given the "super-normal profit" generated through the periods of peak covid testing.

Pathology revenue was broadly in line with expectations and while the business envisages signs of reversion towards long-term averages the shortage of GPs/referrals remains a challenge, the broker adds.

Diagnostic imaging appears to be recovering at a faster rate with Lumus imaging growth of 7.3%. Goldman Sachs has no rating or target at present.

MIN    MINERAL RESOURCES LIMITED

Iron Ore – Overnight Price: $73.35

Jarden rates ((MIN)) as Downgrade to Sell from Underweight (5) –

Jarden found the Mineral Resources' FY23 result robust although notes the quality deteriorated. The broker accepts management understands the market's concerns about increasing financial leverage to iron ore and lithium prices yet it has provided little to ameliorate these concerns.

While waiting for solutions to emerge Jarden advises caution, downgrading to Sell from Underweight. Target is reduced to $45.90 from $49.60.

This report was published on August 30, 2023.

Target price is $45.90 Current Price is $73.35 Difference: minus $27.45 (current price is over target).

MTO    MOTORCYCLE HOLDINGS LIMITED

Automobiles & Components – Overnight Price: $2.18

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

On further analysis Wilsons found Motorcycle Holdings' FY23 results mixed. New bike sales outperformed the market by significant margin. While acquisitions contributed this was offset by margin contraction on new and used bikes and higher like-for-like operating costs.

No explicit guidance was provided and the broker notes strong demand for new bikes in recent months is somewhat at odds with broad expectations for subdued demand to continue.

Amid uncertainty over the short term the broker retains a Market Weight rating and lifts the target price to $2.06 from $1.91.

This report was published on August 31, 2023.

Target price is $2.06 Current Price is $2.18 Difference: minus $0.12 (current price is over target).

PXA    PEXA GROUP LIMITED

Real Estate – Overnight Price: $11.04

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

Jarden suspects IPART's full review on industry pricing will conclude that Pexa Group's current pricing structure is either reasonable or recommend prices be lowered.

The broker observes the latest report highlighted a potential downside risk to Australian industry pricing and estimates a -5% reduction in Australian pricing would result in EPS downgrades of -6-7% for FY27-28. Underweight rating and $11.40 target maintained.

This report was published on August 29, 2023.

Target price is $11.40 Current Price is $11.04 Difference: $0.36

QOR    QORIA LIMITED

Software & Services – Overnight Price: $0.26

RMC    RESIMAC GROUP LIMITED

Banks – Overnight Price: $1.09

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

FY23 results from Resimac Group were better than Jarden expected. Margins appear more resilient than peers although the broker wonders whether this could be be somewhat temporary.

Going forward, first half margins should fully benefit from repricing but further ahead erosion is likely because of the flow-through of higher average funding costs and a greater appetite for lending growth.

The business appears to have turned the corner but with an earnings recovery some time away and 95% exposed to a competitive mortgage market, Jarden envisages better relative value elsewhere. Underweight rating. Target edges up to $1.05 from $1.00.

This report was published on August 29, 2023.

Target price is $1.05 Current Price is $1.09 Difference: minus $0.045 (current price is over target).
If RMC meets the Jarden target it will return approximately minus 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $1.07, suggesting downside of -2.6%(ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Travel, Leisure & Tourism – Overnight Price: $3.51

ZIP    ZIP CO LIMITED

Business & Consumer Credit – Overnight Price: $0.31

Jarden rates ((ZIP)) as Neutral (3) –

While the FY23 result was largely pre-guided the losses were greater than Jarden estimated, although a path to break even has been reiterated.

The broker welcomes the swift action taken to close loss-making businesses and the challenge now becomes the rising interest rates and potential economic headwinds.

Based on the broker's estimates, Zip Co needs to achieve total transaction value that is 18-77% higher over the medium term compared with the TTV achieved in FY23.  Neutral maintained. Target is reduced to $0.46 from $0.50.
