Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Jun 11, 2021

Daily Market Reports | Jun 11 2021

This story features AI-MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: AIM

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.

AIZ    AIR NEW ZEALAND LIMITED

Transportation & Logistics – Overnight Price: $1.50

Jarden rates ((AIZ)) as Sell (5) –

High jet fuel costs are increasing earnings pressure on Air New Zealand during a time of operational uncertainty, with prices per barrel up 24% since the start of 2021. In that past three months higher fuel prices have reduced Jarden's profit before tax forecast for FY22 by -NZD$50m. 

Under the current uncertain operating market the broker expects Air New Zealand to have limited long-haul fuel hedging in place, which could leave the company exposed to price swings on the highest fuel consumption flights as new routes open up in the coming year. 

Despite this, the broker still considers normalisation of borders and the recapitalisation of the company's balance sheet as key near-term issues, but notes the pressure on earnings caused by fuel pricing reduces investment appeal. 

The Sell rating is retained and the target price decreases to NZD$1.10 from NZD$1.15. 

This report was published on May 11, 2021. 

Current Price is $1.50. Target price not assessed.
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Jarden forecasts a full year FY21 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of minus 29.42 cents.

AMA    AMA GROUP LIMITED

Automobiles & Components – Overnight Price: $0.59

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

Shortages in workers and parts appear to Bell Potter to have continued into April and May. Job vacancy ads from AMA Group on sites such as Seek are considered still higher-than-usual, and there are ongoing reports regarding a shortage of vehicle parts.

In addition, the broker expects the group to bear the short-term cost of what appears to be higher-than-usual parts inflation, driven by increased shipping costs. So, despite a likely strong rebound in repair volumes, fourth quarter margin compression is expected.

As a result, the analyst downgrades normalised earnings (EBITDA) forecasts for FY21-23 by -6%, -13% and -15%, respectively. The Buy rating is unchanged and the target price falls to $0.70 from $0.85.

This report was published on May 13, 2021.

Target price is $0.70 Current Price is $0.59 Difference: $0.11
If AMA meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately 19% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

APD    APN PROPERTY GROUP

Real Estate – Overnight Price: $0.91

Moelis rates ((APD)) as Downgrade to Sell from Buy (5) –

Dexus Property Group ((DXS)) has announced it has entered into a binding scheme implementation deed to acquire all units in APN Property Group for $0.915, expected to be effective in late July. 

Dexus has secured a call option over 19.9% of APN Property's issued capital at the offer price. The offer price will be reduced by any distributions up to $0.015 cents per security. 

With Moelis' latest valuations of the company's net tangible assets at $0.460, the offer implies a $0.455 valuation for APN Property's funds management business. 

Moelis considers a competing proposal unlikely and recommends investors take profits. 

The rating is downgraded to Sell and the target price increases to $0.915 from $0.68.

Bell Potter upgrades EPS forecasts for 2021-23 by 16%, 7% and 7%, respectively, after an investor presentation and another strong month for new vehicle sales in April.

The forecasts were driven by increases in margin forecasts and modest increases in revenue estimates. The rating is upgraded to Buy from Hold and the target to $17.50 from $16.50.

This report was published on May 13, 2021.

Target price is $17.50 Current Price is $15.99 Difference: $1.51

AQR    APN CONVENIENCE RETAIL REIT

REITs – Overnight Price: $3.74

Moelis rates ((AQR)) as Buy (1) –

APN Convenience Retail has announced the acquisition of six service station and convenience retail assets in Queensland for $59m, expected to settle in September. The majority of all six sites are let to 7-Eleven, with the remainder made up of convenience retail sites.

Moelis forecasts these acquisitions will take total service station assets to over 100 with a total valuation of more than $700m by the end of FY21.

AST    AUSNET SERVICES

Infrastructure & Utilities – Overnight Price: $1.75

Goldman Sachs rates ((AST)) as Buy (1) –

AusNet Services' underlying earnings for FY21 of $1,155m proved -7% below Goldman Sachs' forecast. The announcement of FY21 results saw the company's share price decrease -7.7%. 

The provided dividend per share forecast for FY22 of 9.5 cents suggested no growth on FY21, and was also below the brokers expectation. 

Despite this, Goldman Sachs considers the company well-positioned for underlying asset base growth in the medium-term as it leverages continued acceleration of Australian renewable generation investment.

The Buy rating are target price of $2.15 are retained.

AVA    AVA RISK GROUP LIMITED

Overnight Price: $0.41

Canaccord Genuity rates ((AVA)) as Buy (1) –

AVA Risk Group issued a trading update guiding to much lower second half earnings (EBITDA) than Canaccord Genuity expected. The miss was due to delays caused by covid-19, and the consequent inability to win new contracts and implement existing contracts.

The broker lowers FY21 and FY22 earnings (EBITDA) estimates by -32% and -25%. The target price falls to $0.58 from $0.95 and the Buy rating is maintained.

A delay in the implementation of the balance of the Indian Ministry of Defence contract highlights to the broker the importance of this contract to AVA's profitability. It also shows the need to replace it with new recurring revenue based contracts.

Banks – Overnight Price: $101.85

Goldman Sachs rates ((CBA)) as Sell (5) –

Commonwealth Bank's third quarter earnings from operations of $2.4bn showed a 85% increase on the same quarter last year, but not enough to justify a 42% valuation premium on its peers according to Goldman Sachs. 

CommBank reported a quarterly benefit from bad and doubtful debt of $136m driven by a $6.5bn reduction to credit provision levels on an improved economic outlook. 

The broker did lift earnings per share forecasts for FY21, FY22 and FY23 by 6.4%, 6.5% and 6.5% respectively.

CQE    CHARTER HALL SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE REIT

Childcare – Overnight Price: $3.52

Goldman Sachs rates ((CQE)) as Buy (1) –

The announcement of a $1.7bn investment boost into childcare as part of the Australian government's 2021-2022 budget suggests the important role the childcare industry will play in the reinvigoration of the economy, according to Goldman Sachs. 

This increased government support for the sector should point to a strong second half of FY21 for Charter Hall Social Infrastructure REIT, with the broker pointing to external growth and accretive acquisitions as a critical driver of earnings growth.

The company's strong balance sheet and current liquidity should allow for capital allocation to growth, with Goldman Sachs estimating a 3% accretion to funds from operation for every $50m of debt-funded acquisitions. 

While the company is under-rented by current standards, this allows room for positive rental reversions and rental revenue growth. Charter Hall Infrastructure has minimal near-term leases set to expire, but the broker allows for 2.5% like-for-like rental growth over the next three years. 

The Buy rating is retained and the target price increases to $3.60 from $3.45.

EOS    ELECTRO OPTIC SYSTEMS HOLDINGS LIMITED

Hardware & Equipment – Overnight Price: $4.37

Canaccord Genuity rates ((EOS)) as Buy (1) –

Canaccord Genuity notes that recent concerns over the balance sheet have been partially rectified by the receipt of an initial circa $30m cash inflow from one major customer.

This begins the process of unwinding the company's $138m contract asset that had built up over the past 12 months, explains the broker. Management anticipates further cash receipts of over $100m from this business by the fourth quarter. 

The analyst estimates the company now has between $70-80m of cash on hand. The Buy rating and $8.20 target are unchanged.

This report was published on May 12, 2021.

Target price is $8.20 Current Price is $4.37 Difference: $3.83
If EOS meets the Canaccord Genuity target it will return approximately 88% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in December.

GDF    GARDA PROPERTY GROUP

REITs – Overnight Price: $1.33

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

Updated valuations from Garda Property Group have increased the company's net tangible assets by 21% to total $1.45, equating to a $56m uplift across the portfolio.

Independent valuations on eight properties, as well as previous sales of three non-core properties above book value, have driven the increase in valuation, the largest of which came from the Cairns office accounting for $25m of the total uplift.

Moelis notes there is likely to be further growth to net tangible assets through additional cap rate compression.

The valuation increase reduces gearing to 31.8%, minimising perceived risk, and provides Garda with funding capacity to pursue potential accretive acquisitions, the broker comments.

Largely driven by an increase to the sum-of-the-parts valuation, the rating is upgraded to Buy and the target price increases to $1.40 from $1.26. 

This report was published on May 12, 2021.

Target price is $1.40 Current Price is $1.33 Difference: $0.07

Agriculture – Overnight Price: $5.20

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

GrainCorp's first half underlying profit of $50.5m was well ahead of Bell Potter's $16.9m forecast. Management also upgraded FY21 guidance. It's considered all major indicators of earnings for the business remain biased to the upside.

These include domestic grain discounts to international prices at levels better than FY17, and global canola crush margins consistent with FY20 levels, explains the broker. Also, favourable leads (soil moisture and the rainfall outlook) are positive for the FY22 crop.

Goldman Sachs rates ((GNC)) as Buy (1) –

A strong winter harvest has been a key driver for GrainCorp to deliver first half results in line with bullish expectations, but Goldman Sachs also points to the company's self-help initiative execution as an encouraging sign.

Goldman Sachs considers the company's through-the-cycle earnings power post demerger as currently undervalued.

Off the back of mid-year results, GrainCorp has increased underlying earnings guidance for FY21 by 8% to $255-285m. The broker forecasts results in the top end of guidance, increasing underlying earnings for FY21 by 4% to $280m.

Wilsons rates ((GNC)) as Market Weight (3) –

Wilsons assesses significant earnings growth in the first half, driven by the Agriproducts segment, which experienced significantly higher grain volumes and favourable trading conditions. This offsets a reversal in the crop production contract payment, notes the broker.

Management upgraded FY21 guidance, after strong margins offset modest reductions in out-loading volumes (due to timing issues).

The price target is increased to $5.36 from $5.18, due to slightly higher earnings, lower debt and recent strength in United Malt Group's ((UMG)) share price. The Market-weight rating is unchanged.

This report was published on May 14, 2021.

Jarden rates ((HMY)) as Buy (1) –

Harmoney Corp’s trading update shows to Jarden a continuation of the strong volume growth in both A&NZ, with group originations for April increasing nine times year-on-year. It should be remembered this is compared to a heavily covid-impacted period.

Nonetheless, the update shows the loan book is now in growth mode, highlights the broker. The upgraded credit-decisioning and pricing engine, operational in Australia since February, has led to a doubling of the client conversion rate.

With the system to be launched in New Zealand in July, the analyst expects a significant improvement in new customer acquisition costs. The Buy rating and $3.30 target are unchanged.

HRL    HRL HOLDINGS LTD

Industrial Sector Contractors & Engineers – Overnight Price: $0.13

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

Underpinned by the company's Analytica subsidiary, which delivered record revenue during the quarter, HRL Holdings' s trading update revealed third quarter revenue of $8.8m and underlying earnings of $2.0m.

While subject to a high level of uncertainty, Bell Potter has decided to adopt more conservative revenue growth assumptions for the Food & Environmental division.

The broker expects environmental services to see near-term demand tailwinds, with market share growth a further opportunity. 

Following Bell Potter's review, some more conservative future revenue forecasts see the broker's earnings per share estimates adjusted by 1.7%, -2.0%, and -4.7% over FY21-FY23.

After reviewing longer-dated revenue assumptions, the broker's FY22 and FY23 revenue estimates decrease -4.5% and -7.5% respectively.

Bell Potter believes the focus remains on potential M&A activity driving HRL’s presence in the larger Australian market, which the broker expects would materially improve its growth profile.

Mader Group has delivered a third quarter update reporting revenue of $75.9m, up 5.7% on the previous corresponding period. Underlying earnings were also up on the previous corresponding period to $8.4m, but down on the second quarter thanks to increased overheads.

The North American region reported additional technicians and equipment during the quarter, but revenue was down -10% on second quarter due to increased costs ahead of revenue. Euroz Hartleys notes investors will be keen to see continued growth in this region during the fourth quarter, consistent with the broader sales pipeline. 

The Australian region reported significant demand and revenue was up by 7%. The Buy rating and target price of $1.21 are retained.

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

Marley Spoon management provided insight into the company's growth strategy, announcing long-term revenue targets of EUR$1bn by 2025 and EUR$5bn by 2030. This is significantly higher than Wilsons' forecast of EUR$1.3bn by 2030. 

Management explained revenue targets would be underpinned by four key growth drivers, these being growth in base business, growth in service offering and basket size, growth in adjacent categories, and entering new markets.

The company highlighted targets could be achieved by expected growth in its current total addressable market, and as such the broker feels the other growth drivers will provide only incremental opportunities for additional growth.

Marley Spoon reported current US household penetration of less than 1% and Wilsons notes this provides encouraging opportunity for expansion in that market. 

It was also noted that covid has accelerated US adoption of online grocery shopping which is now expected to account for 14.6% of total grocery sales in 2022 and 21.5% in 2025. This compares to pre-covid e-commerce grocery sales market share of 6.8%.

Bell Potter rates ((NAN)) as Sell (5) –

With Nanosonics' outlook for revenue growth outside of the US looking bleak, Bell Potter believes downgrades to consensus for FY22 and FY23 are likely.

Goldman Sachs notes Orica has seen longer-term impacts and slower-than-expected recovery from covid, and has underperformed accordingly. However, the broker remains confident the company is set for a strong demand recovery from FY22. 

As such, underlying earnings for FY21 are reduced -9% to account for slower recovery, but forecasts for FY22 and FY23 remain unchanged. 

The Buy rating and target price of $15.70 are retained.

Jarden rates ((PPH)) as Buy (1) –

Jarden assesses a strong FY21 result with processing volumes up 38%, operating revenue rising 40% and earnings increasing by 133%. This was driven by the ongoing shift towards digital donations across the customer base, explains the broker.

The analyst's mid-term earnings estimates fall -7% and -12% in FY22 and FY23, respectively. This is due to the Catholic segment investment and slight revisions in processing volume estimates over the medium term.

Agriculture – Overnight Price: $5.80

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

The Californian almond crop subjective estimate for production is 3% above last year’s production of 3.12bn lbs, with a larger bearing area partly offset by a lower yield, explains Wilsons. It's thought consensus estimates were previously at around 2.8-2.95bn lbs.

The forecast is based on a telephone survey conducted from April 19 to May 6 from a sample of 500 almond growers. If the subjective estimate proves accurate, the analyst cautions almond prices are likely to remain below historical norms for longer.

Jarden rates ((SUN)) as Overweight (2) –

Suncorp Group provided additional insight to support its targeted general insurance underlying income tax return margin expansion at its investor forum. The company aims to increase the margin to 10-12% by FY23, from 7.1% in the first half of FY21. 

The strategy focused on driving operational efficiency and price optimisations through data and technology, which Jarden notes appears well-suited to a post-covid climate. Suncorp highlighted the majority of the margin expansion is back end-weighted with uplift expected in FY23. 

Based on the above, Jarden lowers earnings per share forecast -2.8% for FY22 but increases its forecast by 1.9% for FY23. 

The Overweight rating is retained and the target price increases to $12.00 from $11.65.

TWE    TREASURY WINE ESTATES LIMITED

Food, Beverages & Tobacco – Overnight Price: $11.94

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

Execution risks remain elevated for Treasury Wine Estates as the company adjusts to a post-pandemic, post-Chinese tariff market, comments Goldman Sachs.

During a strategy update to investors, Treasury Wine announced a shifting growth strategy focus to non-Penfolds brands, despite the less attractive margins. 

The broker explains the Penfolds division, which accounts for around 67% of underlying earnings, faces a near-term challenge of reallocation of a luxury portfolio originally targeted for the Chinese market.

Faster-than-expected recovery in on-premise sales in the Americas points to accelerated growth for Treasury Wine for FY22 in a region that has disappointed in recent years, notes the broker.

The company's underlying earnings guidance for FY21 of $495-515m exceeded Goldman Sachs expectations by 16%.

XRO    XERO LIMITED

Accountancy – Overnight Price: $133.11

Goldman Sachs rates ((XRO)) as Buy (1) –

Xero delivered FY21 revenue 2% ahead of Goldman Sachs' expectation, which the broker views as a positive result. The company increased investment into product and marketing to capitalise on a period of accelerating global digitisation, driving a -13% decrease in underlying earnings for the year. 

Blended annual revenue per user just missed Goldman Sachs' forecast, with the broker noting Hubdoc revenue is now bundled in the core product rather than separate revenue.

Goldman Sachs has revised revenue forecasts for FY22 and FY23 up by 3% and 4% respectively, but underlying earnings forecasts have decreased by -29% and -28% for the same periods based on the increased investment in research and development and advertising. 

The Buy rating is retained and the target price decreases -1% to $151.00 from $153.00.

Jarden rates ((XRO)) as Buy (1) –

Jarden sees a strong runway of growth for Xero, with the company increasing its near-term investment in R&D. This is to capitalise on the opportunity to obtain a share in the large and under-penetrated global total addressable market, notes the analyst.

FY21 subscribers came in around 5% stronger than the broker expected, though revenue was circa -2% softer, due to weaker average revenue per user.

Jarden believes investors should focus on the top-line growth and take comfort in long-term profitability being achieved from the continued free cashflow growth and record margins during covid.

The Buy rating and $150 target are retained.

Wilsons rates ((XRO)) as Market Weight (3) –

The second half represented a faster return to material investment by Xero than Wilsons expected, as the company proactively sought, and capitalised upon, growth opportunities.

After the negative share price reaction, the broker is tempted to upgrade on fundamentals. However, the rating remains Market Weight, in part due to the potential for technology multiples to moderate on macroeconomic factors.

The analyst lowers the target price to $107.54 from $113.82, primarily due to a higher share count (-4% dilution) from a share issuance and the devaluation of the New Zealand dollar.

This report was published on May 14, 2021.
