Macquarie rates ALL as Outperform

Aristocrat Leisure reported a 41% year on year increase in first half profit, beating consensus by 12%, and announced a $500m buyback.
Macquarie is not seeing any weakening in consumer spending, with land-based showing strong momentum sequentially, but is monitoring with caution. On the flipside, Pixel United is being impacted by delays in some new game launches.
Aristocrat plans to launch North American iGaming before the end of 2022, with two major customers lined up. With balance sheet optionality to pursue M&A and studio deals, along with capital management, valuation is attractive, the broker suggests.
Outperform and $44 target retained.
Credit Suisse rates CGF as Neutral

Credit Suisse sees possibility for Challenger to announce a joint venture with Apollo, likely focused on the domestic direct lending market, and predicts the market could sustain a $14-18m contribution to Challenger from the partnership, based on a equal split joint venture.
With the company set to update investors next week, the broker anticipates positive news noting credit spreads and higher interest rates should benefit Challenger. Credit Suisse lifts earnings per share forecasts 4% and 7% for FY23 and FY24.
The Neutral rating is retained and the target price increases to $7.60 from $7.00.
Morgan Stanley rates NUF as Equal-weight

Following 1H results for Nufarm, Morgan Stanley found the revenue and earnings (EBITDA) outcome in Europe was disappointing and the impact of product deregistrations was more than expected. Nonetheless, the results were in-line with the broker's and consensus forecasts.
The APAC region and the Seeds segment were in-line while Nth America segment earnings were 78% above Morgan Stanley's forecast, driven by product mix, volume growth and efficiencies/cost-out.
The interim 4cps dividend exceeded the consensus estimate for 3.5cps. The analyst feels the company is managing inflationary pressures well via both pricing and efficiencies. The Equal-weight rating and $6.40 target price are retained. Industry view: In-Line.
