Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Dec 11, 2020

This story features ACROW LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: ACF

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.

ACF    ACROW FORMWORK AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES LIMITED

Building Products & Services – Overnight Price: $0.39

Bell Potter rates ((ACF)) as Buy (1) –

Acrow Formwork & Construction Services has started FY21 on a strong note, observes Bell Potter, with activity levels tracking well above prior record levels.

According to the broker, this reflects positive momentum in the Australian civil infrastructure market. Furthermore, it also points towards the company successfully repositioning the business away from the highly competitive two-storey residential scaffolding market. 

With the exit from this market and the Uni-span integration now complete, Bell Potter believes the company's medium-term earnings profile has de-risked significantly.

The Buy rating is unchanged and the target price is increased to $0.40 from $0.36.

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $1.22

Aroa Biosurgery's first-half result was in line with its guidance, with the operating loss of -$2.3m slightly higher than Bell Potter's forecast. Management continues to expect revenue for the second half will beat that of the first half.

On account of the stalled Brexit negotiations and the second wave of UK lockdowns, Bravura expects net profit in FY21 to be significantly weighted to the second half. Goldman Sachs forecasts net profit of $38.2m in FY21, down -5% from $40.1m in FY20.

The broker believes Bravura is well-positioned due to its strong market position along with a high degree of recurring revenue. Furthermore, a net cash position gives the company a buffer in uncertain times.

CGF    CHALLENGER LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $5.86

Bell Potter rates ((CGF)) as Buy (1) –

Bell Potter believes the worst is behind Challenger. As the prospect of a vaccine draws closer, the risks associated with the balance sheet of the company are significantly reduced, believes the broker.

The broker expects a pre-tax profit of $438m in FY21 which is at the top end of the guidance range between $390-$440m.

The target price rises to $6.60 from $4.70.
