Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Sep 23, 2020

Daily Market Reports | Sep 23 2020

This story features LIFE360 INC, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: 360

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

Software & Services – Overnight Price: $4.10

Moelis rates ((360)) as Buy (1) –

Life360's first half revenue was up 54% versus last year with its operating income better than Moelis expected. The key positive was the membership offering showing strong initial results, suggests the broker.

Moelis has increased its FY20-22 revenue estimates to reflect the impact of the membership offering and higher indirect monetisation of international users.

The broker thinks Life360 continues to execute well and sees several drivers over the near term like the return to user growth, membership offering and indirect monetisation.

Believing the stock offers good value, Moelis reiterates its Buy rating with the target price increasing to $4.75 from $4.05.

APA    APA GROUP

NatGas – Overnight Price: $10.27

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

The APA Group result was in-line with forecasts by Goldman Sachs, but guidance was weaker than the broker expected.

A softer FY21 guidance is driven by a post-pandemic weakening in Australian and US CPI figures, which feeds through contract pricing, explains the broker. Additionally, continued delays in Orbost commissioning is having an impact.

Goldman Sachs highlights the existing portfolio has surplus funding capacity. The Neutral rating is unchanged and the target price is decreased to $10.10 from $10.90.

This report was published on August 26, 2020.

Target price is $10.10 Current Price is $10.27 Difference: minus $0.17 (current price is over target).

APX    APPEN LIMITED

IT & Support – Overnight Price: $31.47

Bell Potter rates ((APX)) as Hold (3) –

Appen's first-half net profit grew 20% and was slightly ahead of Bell Potter's forecast, although the operating income was -9% below forecast due to lower revenue. An interim dividend of 4.5c (50% franked) was announced which was -10% below the broker's expected 5c.

The company reiterated its FY20 guidance, leading the broker to leave its FY20-22 forecasts mostly intact. The broker believes Appen is well-placed to capitalise on the arms race in artificial intelligence and machine learning over the short and medium-term.

Accent Group's FY20 operating income was ahead of Bell Potter's forecast. The company delivered a robust performance with management able to steer the company exceptionally well, suggests the post-event commentary.

Bell Potter notes a combination of adaption to online and effective cost management techniques helped to achieve the robust result. Digital sales lifted by 142% in the fourth quarter and the group's contactable customer database grew by 2m with more than half of the the new customers shopping online.

The broker has strengthened its near-term sales forecasts due to the strong momentum with the effect its FY21 earnings forecast has increased with no material change for FY22-23.

The company's FY20 operating income was above Bell Potter's expectations and at the upper end of its guidance. Bell Potter considers Bega's reduction in net debt an impressive turnaround.

While the company did not provide any formal earnings guidance, the broker highlights a reduction in milk intake is expected in FY21 with costs on the lower side due to initiatives.

The broker has downgraded its net profit forecasts by -6% in FY21 and -5% in FY22 due to higher second half depreciation charges.

Earnings forecasts have been upgraded for FY21-22.The broker notes the company has circa 20-25% of earnings outside of Victoria at a full run-rate and remains conservative about FY21 owing to varying run-rates and a hard lockdown in Victoria in the first quarter of FY21.

DTC    DAMSTRA HOLDINGS LIMITED

Software & Services – Overnight Price: $1.83

Moelis rates ((DTC)) as Upgrade to Buy from Hold (1) –

Damstra Holdings' FY20 operating income was below Moelis's estimate due to the exclusion of the share-based compensation from the pre-reported figure.

The company has guided towards FY21 revenue of $33m-$35m, considered light by the broker since it doesn’t include any assumptions of cross-selling.

The broker is pleased with the interest being shown in Damstra's fever detection units which also supports the robust outlook for FY21. Moreover, the cross-selling opportunity appears to be playing out with management indicating strong demand from existing clients.

FLT    FLIGHT CENTRE LIMITED

Travel, Leisure & Tourism – Overnight Price: $13.40

Bell Potter rates ((FLT)) as Upgrade to Buy from Hold (1) –

Flight Centre delivered a loss of -$510m, at the lower end of its guided range. This was led by the second half which saw operating conditions deteriorate significantly due to the pandemic.

The total transaction value (TTV) and revenue ended the year down -35% and -38% respectively. The broker suggests the highlight of the result was the performance of its corporate business which delivered a positive operating profit of $74m across FY20.

The FY20 result has led the broker to adjust its recovery profile to reflect the uncertainty facing the outlook for travel. Its net profit loss forecast for FY21 has increased while its earnings forecasts for FY22-23 have been downgraded by about -26%.

The broker is attracted to Flight Centre due to its diversified exposure to the recovery of global travel. Also, the broker expects earnings to be restored at higher margins due to the removal of structural costs.

Bell Potter upgrades its rating to Buy from Hold with the target price reducing to $16 from $17.

GOZ    GROWTHPOINT PROPERTIES AUSTRALIA

Infra & Property Developers – Overnight Price: $3.35

Moelis rates ((GOZ)) as Buy (1) –

Growthpoint Properties Australia delivered FY20 funds from operations (FFO) down -5.2% on the previous corresponding period. This reflects both the impact of covid-19 and a relatively more conservative position with a reduced payout ratio, according to Moelis.

The broker describes rent collections as robust at 96% for the office portfolio and 98% for the industrial portfolio. 

Total rent abatements were -$0.8m, with deferrals of -$2m. The analyst explains the strong outcome was driven by limited exposure to SME's.

NUC    NUCHEV LIMITED

Dairy – Overnight Price: $1.95

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

Nuchev's full-year result was a touch softer than Wilsons' forecasts with an operating loss of -$7.8m led by a challenging environment. The broker believes the external environment will remain volatile in the near-term due to channel dislocation.

The broker remains confident of structural growth in the business led by growth in the goat infant formula segment and strength in the Oli6’s brand.

Nuchev expects considerable growth in revenue and volume in FY21, but the broker expects the rate of growth to be moderate relative to FY20.

Wilsons retains its Overweight rating with a target price of $3.46.

PBP    PROBIOTEC LIMITED

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $1.81

Shaw and Partners rates ((PBP)) as Buy (1) –

Shaw and Partners concludes Probiotec's FY20 result marked a strong performance. Operating income was up 78% year on year and ahead of Shaw and Partners' estimate as well as company guidance.

Probiotic's largest category is cough and cold and because of social distancing in Victoria and lesser demand in other states, this category has seen slower demand. Management has been conservative due to this, downgrading its earnings forecast guidance for FY21. 

The broker expects an accretive acquisition within the next 6 months. Buy rating reaffirmed with the target price rising to $2.54 from $2.43.

The report was published on August 28, 2020.

PFP    PROPEL FUNERAL PARTNERS LIMITED

Consumer Products & Services – Overnight Price: $2.83

Moelis rates ((PFP)) as Initiation of coverage with Hold (3) –

Propel Funeral Partners delivered operating earnings (EBITDA) that were -4% down on pre-covid-19 expectations of Moelis. 

The broker considers this a good result achieved via dynamic opex cost control and subsidy assistance.

The near non existence of influenza in Australia this winter has had a serious impact on volumes across the industry, points out the analyst.

The approximately 1,200 funerals reported in July suggests to Moelis that volumes remain weak. However, the broker notes the company has recovered its average revenue per funeral to exceed pre-pandemic levels.

Moelis reinstates coverage with a Hold rating and a target price of $3.14.

This report was published on August 26, 2020.

Target price is $3.14 Current Price is $2.83 Difference: $0.31

PNV    POLYNOVO LIMITED

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $2.21

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

The FY20 results for Polynovo were in-line with Wilsons forecasts.

The broker assesses the core push into verified burn and trauma centres can potentially double US revenue. A full year contribution from Europe with ANZ growth and new territories supports a similar outlook for rest of the world (ROW) sales.

The broker's FY21 forecast sees the company push past 100 US hospitals, which is ample critical mass to drive deeper engagement with national group purchasing organisations (GPO). The analyst expects hospital access and US sales rep productivity could both increase materially again from that point.

The Overweight rating is maintained and the target price is decreased to $2.80 from $2.90.

This report was published on August 27, 2020.

Pivotal Systems' first-half operating income was relatively stable and in line with Moelis's expectations. The company reiterated its guidance of growth with the market growing and Pivotal Systems continuing to win share.

The broker considers the industry outlook to be positive despite covid and supports the near term growth forecast. Some key near term catalysts include Pivotal's revenue growth and improvement in gross margin and cash flows.

Moelis reaffirms its Buy rating with the target price rising slightly to $1.49 from $1.48.

This report was published on August 28, 2020.

ReadyTech posted a strong set of results across both Education and Workforce Solutions segments, notes Wilsons.

The company's FY21 guidance points to mid-teens revenue growth and an operating income margin between 37%–39%. The broker believes FY21 revenue guidance is conservative and will be easily achieved and expects a 39%-40% margin.

Wilsons maintains its Overweight rating with the target price decreasing to $2.60 from $3.18.

This report was released on 27 August 2020.

REG    REGIS HEALTHCARE LIMITED

Aged Care & Seniors – Overnight Price: $1.09

Moelis rates ((REG)) as Re-istate coverage with Buy (1) –

Regis Healthcare's FY20 operating income was -6% below its pre-covid estimates with occupancy drifting lower post-covid. Moelis expects the net debt to decrease in FY21 with inflows from ramp-up facilities. With the company in capital preservation mode, no final dividend was declared.

FY21 operating income is expected to decline by -13%. Even as the sector faces a highly challenging near-term environment, Moelis believes the company can handle occupancy pressures should they occur.

The broker believes Regis Healthcare is well-placed to captialise on the industry consolidation expected to take place across 2021-22. 

Moelis re-instates coverage with a Buy rating, alongside a target price of $2.06. 

This report was published on August 28, 2020.

RIC    RIDLEY CORPORATION LIMITED

Agriculture – Overnight Price: $0.78

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

Ridley Corp delivered an encouraging FY20 result, in the opinion of Wilsons, with operating income ahead of the broker's forecast, driven by cost reduction measures.

Gearing remains high but is expected to reduce materially in FY21 with higher earnings, lower working capital and the broker's assumption of nil dividend. 

Ridley Corp did not provide any guidance. Wilsons assumes flat volumes and margins in FY21 with volumes growth resuming from FY22.

WHC    WHITEHAVEN COAL LIMITED

Coal – Overnight Price: $0.98

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

With production pre-reported, Whitehaven Coal’s results proved broadly in-line with Wilsons' forecasts.

The broker's previous assumptions of more normalised production have been pushed out on revised guidance.

The balance sheet concerns the analyst, as cash losses are building at current coal prices, with only debt headroom of around $360m.

Wilsons unwinds Vickery and Winchester South from valuations, given the balance sheet and difficulties locking down a joint venture partner. This alone decreases the valuation for the company by -$1.

The Overweight rating is unchanged and the target price is decreased to $2.50 from $4.

This report was published on August 27, 2020.

WPR    WAYPOINT REIT

REITs – Overnight Price: $2.71

Moelis rates ((WPR)) as Hold (3) –

Waypoint REIT's first-half result was robust, comments Moelis, highlighting the defensive nature of the service station asset class. 99.9% of rent was collected and gearing remained conservative.

FY20 distributable earnings guidance has been upgraded and a 100% payout assumption implies a dividend yield of 5.6%. While Waypoint REIT offers a resilient and growing cash flow stream, the broker notes it trades on a relatively tight implied cap rate.

Moelis reinstates coverage with a Hold rating and target price of $2.78.

This report was published on August 28, 2020.

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

With prospectus targets met, and in some cases exceeded, Whispir enters FY21 with several positives, according to Wilsons.

These include an accelerated, pre-existing secular trend of improved communications and digital transformation. Additionally, the company has a bolstered executive management team and many existing and potential new clients with which to capitalise on opportunities.

The company has guided to FY21 revenue of $47.5m-$51m. The analyst sees operating leverage will become increasingly evident with revenue growth (23%) outpacing operating expense growth (14%).

The Overweight rating is unchanged and the target price is increased to $5.10 from $4.41.

WZR    WISR LIMITED

Business & Consumer Credit – Overnight Price: $0.19

Moelis rates ((WZR)) as Hold (3) –

Wisr's FY20 revenue and net profit were slightly below Moelis's forecast due to higher costs. The result included -$4.1m in provision for expected credit losses but notwithstanding this, the broker feels Wisr executed well through the initial stages of the pandemic.

Moelis's net profit estimates for FY21-22 have been downgraded on increased cost assumptions. While limited guidance was given, the broker expects growth led by several drivers including additional marketing investment, less conservative underwriting and the reopening of Victoria.

Moelis maintains its Hold rating with the target price decreasing slightly to $0.26 from $0.28.

The report was published on August 27, 2020.

Target price is $0.26 Current Price is $0.19 Difference: $0.07

This document is provided for informational purposes only. It does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any security or other financial instrument. FNArena employs very experienced journalists who base their work on information believed to be reliable and accurate, though no guarantee is given that the daily report is accurate or complete. Investors should contact their personal adviser before making any investment decision.

As part of emerging new trends overseas, The Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition also includes providers of sponsored research. Readers should bear in mind, sponsored research, while not necessarily of lower quality, has the embedded complication that the company that is the subject of the research has paid for this research. Providers of sponsored research that can potentially be included in this Report are Breakaway Research, Edison Investment Research, Independent Investment Research, NDF Research, Pitt Street Research, and TMT Analytics.

Decisions about inclusions in this Report are made independently of the providers of stock market research and at full discretion of the team of journalists responsible for content at FNArena. Inclusion does not equal endorsement, in any way, shape or form. This Report is provided for informational purposes only.
