The broker expects rising wholesale electricity prices will drive a 15% CAGR growth in net profit over FY16-19.

Macquarie rates AGL as Outperform (1) -
Underlying interim net profit for the first half was above expectations. Operating cash flow disappointed Macquarie, as working capital and margins deposits were required.
The broker notes the nature of the business has changed, with the primary driver being electricity generation. This first half was the first time the leverage has become evident, with wholesale electricity EBIT up $100m.
The trend is expected to continue over FY18 and FY19 as the current forward curves are priced through to customers. Macquarie retains an Outperform rating and raises the target to $25.63 from $23.44.
Target price is $25.63 Current Price is $24.00 Difference: $1.63
If AGL meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 7% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Market Sentiment: 0.6
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Morgan Stanley rates AGL as Equal-weight (3) -
The broker has lifted earnings forecasts in the wake of AGL's result, on the back of execution of productivity targets, higher electricity pool prices and expected margin expansion for Largescale Generation Certificates.
The market has pushed AGL's forward PE and enterprise valuation to historical highs, suggesting strong wholesale prices beyond the broker's forecast period. The broker has less conviction. Equal-weight retained. Target rises to $24.44 from $21.02. Industry view: Cautious.
Target price is $24.44 Current Price is $24.00 Difference: $0.44

Market Sentiment: 0.6
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Ord Minnett rates AGL as Accumulate (2) -
First half underlying net profit was ahead of Ord Minnett's forecasts, driven by higher-than-expected retail electricity prices.
The longer-dated hedge book means generation assets will only progressively experience the benefit of increasing forward prices and Ord Minnett believes the market is yet to factor in these tail winds.
The broker retains a Accumulate rating and raises the target to $25 from $23.
Target price is $25.00 Current Price is $24.00 Difference: $1
If AGL meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Citi rates AMP as Downgrade to Neutral from Buy (3) -
Citi analysts had been praying for the absence of any further negative surprises beforehand, and they got what they were hoping for, but still the decision was made to downgrade to Neutral from Buy.
Citi now thinks significant headwinds for the company's Wealth Management business will weigh on the share price. They see no real value and prefer QBE Insurance ((QBE)) in the sector instead. Target $5.60.
Target price is $5.60 Current Price is $5.23 Difference: $0.37
If AMP meets the Citi target it will return approximately 7% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Market Sentiment: 0.4
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Credit Suisse rates AMP as Neutral (3) -
2016 underlying profit was ahead of Credit Suisse estimates. The broker believes 2017 will still be a challenging year, as the company is facing margin pressure in wealth management and a reduction in planned profit in life insurance, as well as a mature business running off at around 6% per annum.
The broker appreciates the positive sentiment around costs and capital management but does not come away from the results with great confidence. Neutral maintained. Target is $5.20.
Target price is $5.20 Current Price is $5.23 Difference: minus $0.03 (current price is over target).
If AMP meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately minus 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $5.61, suggesting upside of 8.0% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in December.

All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Macquarie rates AMP as Neutral (3) -
2016 normalised profit was broadly in line with expectations. The company has taken a $42m post tax restructuring charge in the result and announced a $500m on-market buy-back.
Macquarie believes the confirmation of the buy-back and the cost-cutting targets for 2017 should be well received and the company's ability to deliver on these targets is the key to sustaining growth in earnings per share.
Neutral retained. Target is raised to $5.10 from $4.40.
Target price is $5.10 Current Price is $5.23 Difference: minus $0.13 (current price is over target).
If AMP meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 2% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Morgan Stanley rates AMP as Overweight (1) -
In the wake of AMP's result, the broker suggests the stock should re-rate to a higher PE multiple. De-risking of the Life business continues and the wealth manager is transitioning to a higher growth, less capital intensive business, delivering on capital, costs and cash flows.
The Dec Q also saw signs of a recovery in funds flows and AMP has other cards up its sleeve, the broker notes, including a pipeline of corporate mandates and a move into "robo advice". Overweight retained. Target rises to $5.90 from $5.85. Industry view: In-line.
Target price is $5.90 Current Price is $5.23 Difference: $0.67
If AMP meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately 13% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Ord Minnett rates AMP as Accumulate (2) -
2016 operating earnings were slightly below Ord Minnett's forecast. Financial protection was around $25m better than previously guided and within expectations.
The main negative was operating costs, around $44m more than the broker had forecast, but which the company explains as a one-off structuring charge of $60m.
Ord Minnett believes the stock offers a good risk/reward trade-off and retains an Accumulate rating and $6.00 target.
Target price is $6.00 Current Price is $5.23 Difference: $0.77
If AMP meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 15% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

UBS rates AMP as Neutral (3) -
2016 is a year to forget, UBS believes. After the October profit warning, experience losses and cap loss reversals were better than UBS estimated, partly offset by one-off costs.
The broker observes this company is on a firmer footing in 2017, although wealth management drivers are slowing. Neutral retained. Target rises to $5.15 from $4.85.
Target price is $5.15 Current Price is $5.23 Difference: minus $0.08 (current price is over target).
If AMP meets the UBS target it will return approximately minus 2% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Credit Suisse rates AQZ as Outperform (1) -
First half results support Credit Suisse's expectations for strong FY17 growth in earnings per share, with the key positives being cash flow and reduced net debt.
The results were in line with estimates and comprised weaker contract revenue and strength in aviation services. Outperform rating and $0.95 target retained.
Target price is $0.95 Current Price is $0.79 Difference: $0.165
If AQZ meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 21% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Citi rates BAL as Sell (5) -
Citi analysts suspect a recent take-over offer for Mead Johnson is supporting the Bellamy's share price. They acknowledge an unforeseen take-over offer to Bellamy's shareholders is the key risk to their Sell rating.
Other than that, Citi retains a negative view. The analysts argue Bellamy’s is facing multiple company-specific and industry issues.While the restructuring strategy has merits, they comment, short-term risks are still seen as skewed to the downside.
Target price is $3.75 Current Price is $4.79 Difference: minus $1.04 (current price is over target).
If BAL meets the Citi target it will return approximately minus 22% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Morgan Stanley rates BAP as Resume coverage: Overweight (1) -
The broker has been on restriction during the Hellaby takeover process and is now back to resume coverage with Overweight and a $6.75 target. The broker sees the acquisition as earnings accretive and strategically attractive in providing Bapcor with exposure in NZ and plenty of growth opportunities.
The broker forecasts a compound annual earnings growth rate of 27% for FY16-19 after incorporating Hellaby and expects the market to now refocus on growth. Industry view: In-line.
Target price is $6.75 Current Price is $5.52 Difference: $1.23

BHP has also ceased production at Escondida ahead of the planned strike which is set to start tomorrow. The duration is uncertain but Macquarie has incorporated a two-week shutdown and 56,000t cut to production estimates for Escondida in FY17.
Outperform and $31 target retained.

Morgan Stanley rates BSL as Overweight (1) -
The broker has re-run its numbers following BlueScope's guidance upgrade late last month. Earnings forecast upgrades result and the broker suspects guidance may be conservative, if history is a guide.
Falling debt and strong cash flow generation suggest capital management is increasingly likely over the next six months, the broker believes. With earnings risk remaining to the upside, the broker retains Overweight. Target rises to $12.96 from $11.49. Industry view: In-line.
Target price is $12.96 Current Price is $11.04 Difference: $1.92

Morgan Stanley rates CBA as Underweight (5) -
Ahead of CBA's result release, the broker has tweaked earnings forecasts while maintaining an Underweight rating and $69 target.
On a PE of 15x and price to book value of 2.3x, it had better be a good first half result, the broker warns. Margins and costs are the key areas of focus, while the broker sees the potential for some change in strategy under the new chairman. Industry view: In-line.
Target price is $69.00 Current Price is $81.93 Difference: minus $12.93 (current price is over target).

Citi rates SUN as Neutral (3) -
Citi analysts saw an interim update that slightly missed expectations. They have reduced estimates in response, but kept the Neutral rating. Price target rises to $13.35 from $13.15.
The analysts highlight the snail's pace at which margin improvement is being achieved, while pointing out the financial performance, below expectations, was buoyed by items such as an artificially low bad debt charge and capitalised loss reversals in Australia Life.
The shares are not expensive, and there is a dividend yield, but all in all, the analysts find the Suncorp investment story "relatively unexciting".
Target price is $13.35 Current Price is $13.15 Difference: $0.2
If SUN meets the Citi target it will return approximately 2% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $13.74, suggesting upside of 3.0% (ex-dividends)

Credit Suisse rates SUN as Outperform (1) -
Suncorp's first half results were below the broker's expectations. Credit Suisse was pleased with the improvement in underlying insurance margins and a lack of bad debts in the bank.
The broker has decreased its FY17 forecast by -4.9% to reflect the flow-through of actuals, and lowers further out forecasts by -1% reflecting the flagged reinsurance reinstatement.
Outperform rating and $14.20 target retained.
Target price is $14.20 Current Price is $13.15 Difference: $1.05

Macquarie rates SUN as Outperform (1) -
First half cash earnings were slightly below consensus expectations. Macquarie observes operational metrics for home and motor claims are now back to long-term averages.
Second half margins are expected to benefit as the impact of premium re-pricing flows through and costs remain under control.
The broker continues to prefer the stock over Insurance Australia Group ((IAG)), given the relative valuation discount as well as the company's ability to grow in profitable markets and its relative margin trajectory.
Outperform maintained. Target rises to $14.24 from $13.17.
Target price is $14.24 Current Price is $13.15 Difference: $1.09
If SUN meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgan Stanley rates SUN as Underweight (5) -
Suncorp's result was disappointing, falling short of consensus. This despite elevated reserve releases and cyclically low impairments, the broker notes.
The personal lines business remains slow, the broker notes, and reliant on reserve releases, and while NSW CTP pricing is helping, reserving assumptions are clouded. Underweight and $12.00 target retained. Industry view: In-line.
Target price is $12.00 Current Price is $13.15 Difference: minus $1.15 (current price is over target).
If SUN meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately minus 9% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Morgans rates SUN as Hold (3) -
Analysts at Morgans saw Suncorp releasing an interim report suggesting operations have broadly stabilised, but they like to see more evidence on a sustained turnaround for the general insurance operations.
The analysts have slightly reduced forecasts, while observing the GI underlying insurance margin in 1H17 (11%) remains well below the targeted 12%. Hold rating retained. Target drops to $13.50 from $13.75.
Target price is $13.50 Current Price is $13.15 Difference: $0.35
If SUN meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Ord Minnett rates SUN as Accumulate (2) -
First half net profit was above Ord Minnett's forecast although the broker notes the result was messy because of changes in divisions. The dividend was higher than forecast, $0.33 versus $0.26.
The broker is cautious about underlying margin improvement, particularly given the seeming inability to push through price rises that more than offset the claims pressures.
Given a lack of other cheap alternatives in the sector, which is trading at relatively high earnings multiples, Ord Minnett maintains an Accumulate rating and trims the target to $14.14 from $14.60.
Target price is $14.14 Current Price is $13.15 Difference: $0.99
If SUN meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 14.5. |
Forecast for FY18:

UBS rates SUN as Buy (1) -
The first half met the company's broad aim to grow revenues and hold costs flat. At a divisional level, UBS believes this theme is key to the investment case.
With early signs of rate stability, the broker believes the stock still offers relatively safe exposure to a less challenging general insurance environment.
A Buy rating is maintained. Target is raised to $14.45 from $14.25.
Target price is $14.45 Current Price is $13.15 Difference: $1.3
If SUN meets the UBS target it will return approximately 10% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgans rates WES as Hold (3) -
Morgans expects EBIT growth of 9% to $2,303m for the first half, driven by continued growth in Bunnings and Officeworks and a strong result from the resources business on the back of higher coal prices.
The broker expects industry conditions will remain difficult for Coles. Hold rating retained and target raised to $42.27 from $42.
Target price is $42.27 Current Price is $40.98 Difference: $1.29

Morgans rates WOW as Reduce (5) -
Morgans expects first half EBIT to fall by -8% to $1,451m, driven by margin pressure in the core food and liquor business. Big W is also expected to show weakness.
The broker's FY17 revenue forecast remains broadly unchanged, while FY18 and FY19 forecasts have been lifted by 6%.
Reduce retained and target reduced to $20.86 from $21.00.
Target price is $20.86 Current Price is $25.25 Difference: minus $4.39 (current price is over target).
If WOW meets the Morgans target it will return approximately minus 17% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
