UBS rates ABC as Neutral
Adbri and Alcoa have agreed to another extension by 12 months of the lime supply contract and UBS analysts comment this is already (largely) reflected in their forecasts.
UBS observes the share price is showing a lack of momentum, trading well below its price target, but the broker does not believe the announcement is the catalyst the share price needs.
Looking beyond short-term considerations, UBS sees structural headwinds in South Australia, coupled with increased competition in other markets, creating a challenging environment for the company.
Neutral rating retained. Price target $3.50. No changes made to forecasts.
Citi rates APX as Buy
Appen has not released a trading update of late and Citi analysts believe this could mean good news for the former highflyer on the ASX. The broker suggests market consensus might be too low, implying upside risk.
Citi has opened a "positive catalyst watch" on the company. Buy rating retained. Target $14.80, down from $17.10, as earnings estimates have been reduced regardless.
Macquarie rates GUD as Outperform
Macquarie has revised its forecasts for G.U.D. Holdings taking the AutoPacific Group acquisition into consideration, with earnings per share forecasts increasing 1%, 10% and 11% through to FY24.
The broker notes AutoPacific Group is the 4WD towing market leader with an approximate 85% market share, leveraged to a large and growing total addressable market. G.U.D. Holdings should benefit from diversification as new vehicle sales normalise.
The Outperform rating is retained and the target price increases 4% to $16.40.
