Credit Suisse rates AQG as Outperform (1) -
2016 net profit was in line with expectations and there was no dividend. The cash balance has been reconfirmed at US$215m.
The company continues to enjoy a favourable tax outlook and the next catalysts Credit Suisse is looking for are the sulphide development and exploration success to extend oxide production.
The broker makes no changes other than to update on reported results and reduce forecast depreciation & amortisation. Outperform and $5.30 target retained.
Target price is $5.30 Current Price is $2.73 Difference: $2.57
If AQG meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 94% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $4.23, suggesting upside of 46.4% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in December.

Macquarie rates AQG as Neutral (3) -
Alacer beat the broker on underlying earnings although profit fell short due to higher tax. Lower than expected capex on the Copler sulphide project meant a beat on cash.
That project remains on track and is a major catalyst, the broker suggests, although first gold is not expected until later in 2018. In the meantime it will be a consolidation year for Alacer. Neutral retained. Target rises to $2.90 from $2.40.
Target price is $2.90 Current Price is $2.73 Difference: $0.17
If AQG meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 6% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

UBS rates AQG as Buy (1) -
UBS believes the sell-off in the stock last year following delayed production was overdone. The main risk to 2017 guidance is considered to be the receipt of a permit needed to access around 20,000 ounces of gold production.
The sulphide project remains key to the broker's Buy recommendation. With oxide production back on track and development of the sulphide project on time and budget, the broker believes the stock will continue to re-rate higher in 2017.
While expecting some investors to remain cautious about Turkey, ultimately the broker believes the risk is well priced into the stock. Target is $4.60.

UBS rates AZJ as Neutral (3) -
After reviewing the company's UT5 draft access undertaking UBS concludes the most contentious issues are likely to be around the treatment of inflation and the risk premium that should be attached to the CQCN network.
The broker believes there is downside risk to current forecasts, given that the maximum allowable revenue being applied for is just 4% above estimates.
Conversely, if the company is successful in its application, the broker estimates 6% upside to FY18 forecasts forr earnings per share.
UBS retains a Neutral rating and $4.50 target.
Target price is $4.50 Current Price is $4.95 Difference: minus $0.45 (current price is over target).

Deutsche Bank is encouraged by the update, which highlights a good performance in Australia over the Christmas period in an apparel market that was generally weak.

Macquarie rates KMD as Outperform (1) -
Kathmandu's first half trading update suggests a result better than feared. Strong sales and tight expense control have offset margin pressure from higher USD sourcing costs, the broker notes.

Credit Suisse rates MQG as Neutral (3) -
Following the company's operational briefing, Credit Suisse notes reported profit guidance highlights the reliance in the fourth quarter on lower impairments & provisions and/or the continuation of sustained underlying franchise momentum.

The trading update appeared a little soft relative to Deutsche Bank's expectations. Yet the broker believes Macquarie Group has sufficient levers to pull to meet guidance.

The company has reiterated guidance for FY17 earnings to be similar to FY16.

UBS rates MQG as Buy (1) -
The trading update was soft, in UBS' view, as Macquarie Group described its quarterly performance as "satisfactory" which usually implies a weaker period. The company continues to expect its full year performance to be broadly in line with last year.
The broker believes some market participants may be disappointed with the update but believes the softer quarter was more a result of timing. Buy rating retained. Target rises to $89 from $82.
Target price is $89.00 Current Price is $82.75 Difference: $6.25
If MQG meets the UBS target it will return approximately 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Credit Suisse rates OSH as Upgrade to Outperform from Underperform (1) -
Oil Search now appears to Credit Suisse to be the best play on oil and the stock is upgraded to Outperform from Underperform. When growth matters in the sector again, the broker believes this is a stock that potentially has value upside.
The broker believes a trading opportunity exists on the potential for reserves to be upgraded with the results. The broker cautions that the upgrade in recommendation should not be mistaken for a belief that 2017 will be plain sailing for the company.
Target is raised to $7.25 from $5.90.

Credit Suisse rates RWH as Downgrade to Neutral from Outperform (3) -
The first half result slightly beat Credit Suisse estimates. The broker continues to believe the company is close to a trough in earnings but there are timing risks and growth appears hard to find in many areas.
Following the share price appreciation since the FY16 result and negative revisions to earnings per share, the broker believes the valuation is fair at this juncture and downgrades to Neutral from Outperform. Target is raised to $1.45 from $1.40.
Target price is $1.45 Current Price is $1.40 Difference: $0.05
If RWH meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Deutsche Bank rates RWH as Downgrade to Hold from Buy (3) -
First half results highlight an ongoing tough operational environment. Deutsche Bank notes, while the company has increased its share of the construction sector, the resources sector decline has largely offset it.
Additionally, there is increased competition in the container sales business, resulting in reduced volumes.
The broker reduces the target to $1.45 from $1.70 and downgrades the rating to Hold from Buy, as the stock is trading close to valuation.
Target price is $1.45 Current Price is $1.40 Difference: $0.05
If RWH meets the Deutsche Bank target it will return approximately 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Macquarie rates RWH as Downgrade to Neutral from Outperform (3) -
Royal Wolf's result was slightly ahead of expectation thanks to a one-off payment from Titan. Growth in leasing revenues was a positive, Macquaire notes, offset by limited progress in disposing of surplus camp assets.
The market remains challenging, hence asset disposal is required to accelerate profit growth and timing here is uncertain, Macquarie suggests. Target rises to $1.45 from $1.40 but as the share price is closing in, rating downgraded to Neutral.
Target price is $1.45 Current Price is $1.40 Difference: $0.05

Ord Minnett rates RWH as Accumulate (2) -
First half underlying operating earnings were ahead of Ord Minnett's forecasts but a higher depreciation charge meant EBIT was down -7.3% on a year earlier and in line with forecasts.
The broker observes positive pricing momentum in the leasing business was soured by weak cash flow. This cash flow result is of concern to the broker and the business continues to face the challenging operating environment.
Accumulate rating retained, given the potential upside to valuation and the target of $1.70.
Target price is $1.70 Current Price is $1.40 Difference: $0.3
If RWH meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 21% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Citi rates SCP as Sell (5) -
FY17 guidance has been lifted to 14.6c per security. Citi believes this is conservative and a major driver of the upgrade has been the redeployment of proceeds from the sale of the New Zealand portfolio.
The core business continues to generate moderate growth. The stock now trades modestly above the broker's target, keeping the recommendation Neutral. Target is raised to $2.16 from $2.15.
Target price is $2.16 Current Price is $2.24 Difference: minus $0.08 (current price is over target).
If SCP meets the Citi target it will return approximately minus 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Macquarie rates SCP as Underperform (5) -
Shopping Centres' distributable earnings were in line with the broker's forecast. FY17 guidance has been upgraded to 14.6cps from 14.4cps having leased the vacant Mt Gambier Masters site to Bunnings.
There was no news on what the fund intends to do with its 4.9% stake in Charter Hall Retail ((CQR)). In the meantime, the broker sees only modest earnings growth in the supermarket space and distributions not fully cash covered. Target rises to $2.13 from $1.89. Underpeform retained.
Target price is $2.13 Current Price is $2.24 Difference: minus $0.11 (current price is over target).

Ord Minnett rates SCP as Downgrade to Hold from Accumulate (3) -
The first half result signalled an unexpected slowdown in specialty store sales growth relative to the company's strong performance over the last few years, Ord Minnett observes.
The broker is not sure whether this is because of a slower sales environment in the business geographies or a maturing of the relatively young portfolio.
As the broker awaits further clarity on the drivers of this slowdown, the rating is downgraded to Hold from Accumulate. Target falls to $2.30 from $2.36.
Target price is $2.30 Current Price is $2.24 Difference: $0.06

UBS rates SCP as Neutral (3) -
First half results slightly beat UBS estimates. While pleased with the specialty leasing metrics, the broker notes supermarket sales are anaemic and specialty sales are slowing.
The broker was not surprised that guidance for earnings per share was upgraded to 14.6c and believes previous guidance was conservative post the announcement of a stake in Charter Hall Retail ((CQR)).
A Neutral rating and $2.32 target are maintained.
Target price is $2.32 Current Price is $2.24 Difference: $0.08

Credit Suisse rates SEK as Neutral (3) -
Credit Suisse expects the company to reiterate its guidance for FY17 net profit of $215-220m. The broker reduces FY18 profit estimates by -4.8% to $226m because of lower Seek Learning forecasts and currency moves.
A Neutral rating is retained. Target is lowered to $15.00 from $15.30.
Target price is $15.00 Current Price is $14.61 Difference: $0.39

Citi rates SHL as Sell (5) -
The company has entered into two partnerships in hospitals in the US. Citi observes these partnerships with hospitals are a way for the private laboratory operators to continue growing in an otherwise slow-growth industry.
The stock does not represent a favourable risk/reward, in the broker's view, given the looming regulatory/pricing risk across geographies. Sell rating and $19.33 target retained.
Target price is $19.33 Current Price is $21.18 Difference: minus $1.85 (current price is over target).
If SHL meets the Citi target it will return approximately minus 9% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Citi rates TCL as Buy (1) -
First half underlying EBITDA was ahead of Citi's estimates. Distribution guidance has been increased to 51.5c per security.
The increased guidance reflects the strength of the cash flow in the first half and the broker suspects this will reduce the expected capital requirements for the Western Distributor post financial close.
Citi continues to envisage upside for the stock as it continues to deliver on growth options. Buy rating retained. Target rises to $12.25 from $11.75.
Target price is $12.25 Current Price is $11.04 Difference: $1.21

Credit Suisse expects the company to deliver over 10% dividend growth in each of the next five years. Transurban has raised its dividend guidance by 2% for FY17, supported in the broker's view by a solid first half operating performance and a capital release.
Credit Suisse reiterates an Outperform rating but trims the target to $12.30 from $12.50 on lower US express Lane estimates.

Macquarie rates TCL as Outperform (1) -
At an operational level, it was a solid result from Transurban, the broker suggests. Increased cash flow prompted a dividend increase. In the near term, earnings confidence will be aided by details regarding the I395 and Western Distributor.

Morgan Stanley rates TCL as Equal-weight (3) -
The company has lifted its distribution guidance for FY17 to 51.5c per securitiy on underlying free cash flow growth, reiterating its strong pipeline and disciplined acquisition strategy.
Yet Morgan Stanley retains a Cautious industry view and Equal-weight rating, viewing the growth in ride sharing - high occupancy vehicles are toll exempt on northern Virginian roads - and the ATO review on stapled trust structures as risks that should be monitored.
Target is raised to $11.45 from $11.22.
Target price is $11.45 Current Price is $11.04 Difference: $0.41
If TCL meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgans rates TCL as Downgrade to Hold from Add (3) -
Stockbroker Morgans has downgraded to Hold from Add while revising its price target downwards to $11.16. The result beat expectations, but it's the subsequent rally in the share price that is responsible for the downgrade.
Target price is $11.16 Current Price is $11.04 Difference: $0.12

UBS rates TCL as Buy (1) -
The first half result was slightly better than UBS expected. Free cash flow was boosted by a $170m one-off capital release from re-gearing the M7 road in Sydney.
Should the Western Distributor reach financial close this year the broker expects the company to find around $6bn in development capital over FY17-22.
The result has reversed some of the companies yield-driven underperformance but the broker believes it still offers good value. Buy rating retained. Target rises to $12.40 from $12.30.
Target price is $12.40 Current Price is $11.04 Difference: $1.36
If TCL meets the UBS target it will return approximately 12% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgan Stanley rates WPL as Overweight (1) -
Morgan Stanley suspects the growth plans that are underway may exceed investor expectations over time. The broker believes the LNG investment can deliver returns and longer-dated assets will become a value-driver this year.
The broker believes the company's M&A strategy over the past year was the right one and expects Woodside to focus on oil opportunities outside of Australia that are either producing or have near-term development potential.
The broker updates its valuations on Senegal, Scarborough, Myanmar and North West Shelf backfill. Target rises to $40.00 from $34.09. Overweight rating and In-Line industry view retained.

Macquarie rates WSA as Neutral (3) -
Western Areas stuck down one drill at Neptune and hit nickel sulphides, which is encouraging, and suggests to the broker Cosmos could be materially upgraded. Higher nickel prices will nevertheless be needed to make the project viable.
On that score, prices remain subdued while the impact of Philippines shutdowns is confirmed. The miner remains cash flow positive and can ride out current weakness, the broker notes. Neutral and $2.60 target retained.
Target price is $2.60 Current Price is $2.61 Difference: minus $0.01 (current price is over target).
If WSA meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 0% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
