Daily Market Reports | May 28 2021
This story features ALTIUM, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: ALU
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.

ALG ARDENT LEISURE GROUP
Travel, Leisure & Tourism – Overnight Price: $1.00
Canaccord Genuity rates ((ALG)) as Buy (1) –
Cannacord Genuity believes Ardent Leisure Group's decision to enter into a non-binding agreement with Evolution Group to develop the Dreamworld Resort, demonstrates the company’s ambition to deliver improved value to guests through new amenities and attractions.
Once formalised and upon receipt of planning approval, the partnership will see Evolution Group fund a $75m resort-style hotel and tourist park.
The broker views the announcement positively and notes that Ardent Leisure is now trading below where it was prior to the demonstrably positive Main Event trading update on 21 April 2021.
Given the potential latent value in Main Event, Cannacord believes the risk reward equation is appealing and reiterates a Buy recommendation alongside a $1.22/share price target.

ANZ AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP
Banks – Overnight Price: $28.54
Goldman Sachs rates ((ANZ)) as Buy (1) –
First half cash earnings grew 112% on the pcp and beat Goldman Sachs' forecasts, largely driven by a lower than expected bad and doubtful debts charge.
Softer volumes, weaker markets and fee income, and outer year improvements in expenses, also feeds into the higher broker EPS forecasts for FY21-23 of 10.4%, 1.5% and 4.2%, respectively. The target price rises to $30.20 from $29.21.
The Buy rating is maintained, given the analyst's expectation that cost reductions, if achieved, will more than offset income pressures.

NatGas – Overnight Price: $0.07
Bell Potter rates ((COI)) as Buy (1) –

Comet currently owns 40% of Mahalo Joint Venture, with Santos ((STO)) and APLNG each controlling 30%.

Further clarity on the progress of these discussions is expected in the coming weeks.
Bell Potter believes Comet is uniquely positioned as a junior energy developer with line of sight to establishing first production.

CPU COMPUTERSHARE LIMITED
Diversified Financials – Overnight Price: $16.21
Goldman Sachs rates ((CPU)) as No Rating (-1) –

CRN CORONADO GLOBAL RESOURCES
Coal – Overnight Price: $0.65
Bell Potter rates ((CRN)) as Buy (1) –
Coronado Global Resources has announced plans to raise an aggregate US$550m through the issue of US$350m in 5-year, 10.75% coupon senior secured notes, entering a US$100m asset-based credit facility and undertaking a minimum US$100m equity entitlement offer at $0.45/sh.
The raising will repay and terminate all Coronado's US$475m Syndicated Facility Agreement, drawn to $328m at 31 March 2021, with the remainder earmarked for working capital and other corporate activities.
While the recently announced debt and equity refinance reduces balance sheet risks through the more flexible debt terms, Bell Potter believes Coronado is highly leveraged to met coal markets, which the broker currently views as unsustainably weak.

Supported by stronger gas demand and improved oil prices, Central Petroleum reported March 2021 quarterly revenue of $15.5m, up 5% quarter-on-quarter.

Appraisal activities at the Range Gas Project have commenced and over the next few months should yield key production parameters for a final investment decision in 2022.
Central Petroleum also expects an outcome of a farm-out tender process by mid-2021 to support broader Amadeus Basin exploration activities from late 2021.
Bell Potter's earnings per share downgrade in FY21 to 0.3cps from 0.4cps reflects an earnings change off a low base and is largely driven by a $1.5m increase in exploration expense for the current half.
Buy rating unchanged, with the broker's target price reducing to $0.22 from $0.23.

ELO ELMO SOFTWARE LIMITED
Jobs & Skilled Labour Services – Overnight Price: $4.63
Wilsons rates ((ELO)) as Market Weight (3) –
Wilsons believes a strong economic rebound sets up Elmo Software to return to a normal procurement cycle though the timing continues to remain uncertain.
Due to a strong A&NZ economy, the broker now expects a FY21 earnings (EBITDA) loss of -$3.6m versus -$5.2m previously, as a result of lower bad debts expense. The target falls to $6.17 from $6.87, driven by the -20% discount assigned to the average multiples of peers.
The discount is applied given the difficulty in forecasting the procurement cycles return to “normality” and an expected medium-term outlook for limited operating leverage, the broker explains.

Bell Potter highlights the company also expects the acquisition to be earnings per share accretive from the first full year of acquisition on a pro forma basis.
While the acquisition provides a natural extension to Infomedia's core SaaS platform, the company is continuing to assess further acquisition targets with a focus on businesses that enhance its core platform offerings, the broker explains.
Due to assumed acquisition costs, Bell Potter's updated forecasts involve modest downgrades in each of FY21, FY22 and FY23.
Bell Potter forecasts only assume the acquisition of SimplePart and no further acquisitions, however with cash of $50m-plus remaining on the balance sheet the broker anticipates there will be more acquisitions over the next 1-2 years.

JHC JAPARA HEALTHCARE LIMITED
Aged Care & Seniors – Overnight Price: $1.14
Jarden rates ((JHC)) as Buy (1) –
Jarden believes the indicative bid of $1.04 made by Calvary undervalues the company, despite the tough operating conditions and
financial performance of the sector.
The broker's reasons include the opportunistic timing post the Federal Budget, which should result in incremental positive funding for the sector. It's also considered the sector is at a structural and cyclical trough after the pandemic.
Additionally, working off a $1 share price implies to the analyst a value per bed of around $100k, but this assumes operational beds and not the development pipeline. This compares to a recent transaction that was at around $157k a bed, explains the broker.

First half cash earnings from continued operations were up 95% on the pcp and 10% above Goldman Sachs' forecast. In an initial assessment, this was considered driven by lower-than-expected BDD's and operating expenses, partially offset by softer trading.
The interim DPS of 60 cents was above the 55 cents expected by the broker, reflecting a payout ratio of 59%. There will be no DRP discount, and the DRP will be neutralised via an on-market purchase of shares, explains the analyst.
In regard to net interest margins (NIM's), Goldman Sachs expects competitive pressures and the housing lending product mix to remain as headwinds, along with higher liquids. The Buy rating is unchanged and the target is $29.63.

QBE QBE INSURANCE GROUP LIMITED
Insurance – Overnight Price: $10.97
Goldman Sachs rates ((QBE)) as Buy (1) –
Goldman Sachs assesses the first quarter update was largely positive, particularly with respect to the rating environment and growth. A group average rate increase of 8.9% was up on the 7.3% growth in the first quarter.
The broker points out headline growth was very strong and was assisted by Crop growth. Even ex-crop, the constant currency growth of 13% was still assessed to be very solid relative to group underlying gross written premium (GWP) growth of 10% in FY20.
The analyst feels underlying margin trends appear to be tracking to plan (or slightly ahead) based on combined operating ratio (COR) commentary. On balance, outside of unseasonal US catastrophe losses, trends in the quarter are considered very supportive.

SUL SUPER RETAIL GROUP LIMITED
Automobiles & Components – Overnight Price: $12.86
Bell Potter rates ((SUL)) as Hold (3) –
Bell Potter expects Super Retail Group's like-for-like sales which lifted 28% versus FY20 to materially slow as the company begins to cycle demanding comps from May onwards.
Divisional like-for-like sales highlights for the first 44 weeks of FY21 included Macpac (up 17%), BCF (up 59%), Sports (up 20%) and Auto (up 21%) versus full year 2020.
While Bell Potter sees an enduring tailwind from international travel restrictions for the balance of calendar year 2021, the broker believes this will be offset by: the demanding comps that need to be cycled; reduced Government stimulus; and the ongoing uncertainties surrounding covid and the impacts this may have on consumer confidence.

WSA WESTERN AREAS NL
Nickel – Overnight Price: $2.34
Goldman Sachs rates ((WSA)) as Neutral (3) –
Western Areas reported high cash costs in the March quarter, totaling $4.07 per pound and 17% higher than forecast by Goldman Sachs driven by high mining and milling costs.
The company also reported strong nickel production for the quarter of 4,270 tonnes driven by higher grades, a 21% quarter-on-quarter increase. Guidance for FY21 of 16-17,000 tonnes of nickel and cash costs between $3.75-4.25 per pound remain the same.
Higher grades at Spotted Quoll are driving the brokers expectation of a stronger fourth quarter. Despite this, Goldman Sachs sits at the bottom end of production guidance and the top end of cash cost guidance.
The Neutral rating and target price of $2.40 are retained.
