Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Jul 21, 2021

Daily Market Reports | Jul 21 2021

This story features ABACUS PROPERTY GROUP, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: ABP

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.

REITs – Overnight Price: $3.16

Jarden rates ((ABP)) as Initiation of coverage with Overweight (2) –

Jarden initiates coverage on Storage with a positive view on the sector. The broker expects continued demand given strong discretionary spending and a robust housing market. 

As one of three big operators, Abacus Property benefits from a strong national brand, scale and operating platform. The company now has a clear Storage and Commercial strategy that promises less volatility in its earnings growth profile. 

Jarden points to a focus on partnerships from a disciplined acquisition and development pipeline, and proactive asset management to mitigate commercial portfolio deterioration as an attractive risk reward.

The broker also expects funds from operation to benefit investment proceeds in the next 12-18 months. 

Abacus Property is Jarden's preferred pick for Storage exposure. Jarden initiates with an Overweight rating and a target price of $3.40.

ACF    ACROW FORMWORK AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES LIMITED

Building Products & Services – Overnight Price: $0.43

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

Bell Potter's key takeaway from a management update is the consistency of the contribution margin across FY20 to FY22 (around 48%). This is considered to suggest business is being won not on price, but on the value proposition and strong sales execution.

The company's industrial scaffolding division continues to outperform expectations, reflecting an expansion into new markets outside of native Queensland, explains the broker.

Additionally, there was further impetus from an announcement of a new contract servicing Visy Australia’s Tumut Kraft Paper Mill, based in regional NSW. It's estimated this will generate $2.5m in annual revenue, commencing in the first half of 2022.

Management reaffirmed FY21 guidance for revenue of around $106m and underlying earnings (EBITDA) between $23.5-$24.5m, in line with the analyst's current forecasts. The broker retains its Buy rating and increases its target price to $0.46 from $0.45.

This report was published on June 25, 2021.

Target price is $0.46 Current Price is $0.43 Difference: $0.03
If ACF meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately 7% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY21:

Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY21 dividend of 1.80 cents and EPS of 4.20 cents.
At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 4.19%.

ADA    ADACEL TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Software & Services – Overnight Price: $1.05

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

Adacel Technologies announced another sale of its new ATM system – called Aurora – which by Bell Potter's count is the fifth sale of the upgraded product after Guadeloupe, Fiji, Martinique, and St Lucia. 

The broker believes the sale further validates the product and also the pipeline which the company originally suggested was around 15-20 sites or more.

While there is no change in Bell Potter's forecasts, the broker continues to forecast healthy dividends over the next three years which equates to payout ratios of just over 50% based on profit before tax (PBT).

Bell Potter believes potential catalysts for the stock include achieving the FY21 guidance, a positive outlook or guidance for growth in FY22 and/or renewal of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Advanced Technologies & Oceanic Procedures (ATOP) contract.

The broker forecasts PBT growth of 10% in FY22 and believes the contract win supports a growth outlook next year.

Buy rating and the target price of $1.25 are both maintained.

This report was published on June 24, 2021.

Target price is $1.25 Current Price is $1.05 Difference: $0.2
If ADA meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately 19% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 4.76%.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 14.00.

At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 5.24%.

AIS    AERIS RESOURCES LIMITED

Copper – Overnight Price: $0.19

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

Aeris Resources has successfully raised $50.4m through an Institutional Placement of 287.9m shares at $0.175 per share.

Funds will be used to sustain organic growth, with a majority $28m set to accelerate the exploration program at the Tritton Copper and Cracow Gold operations. Additional equity will support mine extension projects at Tritton, and provide general working capital.

Bell Potter notes this supports the focus on exploration Aeris Resources has prioritised since its acquisition of Cracow. Exploration success at Tritton is showing solid potential for mine extension according to the broker.

The Buy rating is retained and the target price increases to $0.235 from $0.225.

This report was published on June 28, 2021. 

Target price is $0.24 Current Price is $0.19 Difference: $0.045

AMX    AEROMETREX LIMITED

Software & Services – Overnight Price: $0.78

Taylor Collison rates ((AMX)) as Speculative Buy (1) –

Despite downgrading earnings forecasts on slower than expected MetroMap subscription growth, Taylor Collison believes investors are getting a free option on Aerometrex's foray into the US market with 3D Modelling to potentially transform the business.

But despite Taylor Collison's positive skew, the broker has amended its recommendation to Speculative Buy from Outperform to reflect the increased uncertainty of MetroMap growth given Nearmap's ((NEA)) pricing behaviour.

The broker expects the current valuation gap to close in part by Nearmaps' valuation compressing as Aerometrex takes market share, albeit slower than initially expected.

If Taylor Collison assumes a -20% pullback in Nearmap's FY22 valuation and applies a -40% discount from there for Aerometrex, the broker comes to a multiple of 19.6x EV/earnings which implies a share price of $1.15.

This report was released on June 25, 2021.

Current Price is $0.78. Target price not assessed.
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY21:

Taylor Collison forecasts a full year FY21 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of minus 3.20 cents.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is minus 24.38.

Forecast for FY22:

Taylor Collison forecasts a full year FY22 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 2.40 cents.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 32.50.

Market Sentiment: 1.0
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources

APC    AUSTRALIAN POTASH LIMITED

Agriculture – Overnight Price: $0.13

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

Shaw and Partners believes an increase in Intrepid’s contract MOP (muriate of potash) pricing to US$400/t is positive for the sector, resulting in possible upside risks to the broker's price deck.

In the broker's view, Australian potash developers, such as Australian Potash, will benefit from tight MOP markets.

Shaw believes the stock appears very cheap at current levels and reiterates a Buy recommendation and a $0.32 price target.

This report was published on June 25, 2021. 

Target price is $0.32 Current Price is $0.13 Difference: $0.19
If APC meets the Shaw and Partners target it will return approximately 146% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY21:

Shaw and Partners forecasts a full year FY21 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of minus 0.40 cents.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is minus 32.50.

APT    AFTERPAY LIMITED

Business & Consumer Credit – Overnight Price: $106.62

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

The buy now pay later sector in Australia is becoming increasingly competitive, with both Commonwealth Bank ((CBA)) and PayPal set to enter the market. 

While Wilsons notes Commonwealth Bank's StepPay product remains a customer retention tool for existing customers, PayPal does present a potential threat to US opportunities for Afterpay.

PayPal has increased pricing around 0.6% per transaction, which the broker notes is positive for medium-term merchant fee concerns. 

Wilsons view is that Afterpay has multiple levers of growth at hand. The Overweight rating and target price of $151.05 are retained. 

This report was published on June 23, 2021. 

Target price is $151.05 Current Price is $106.62 Difference: $44.43
If APT meets the Wilsons target it will return approximately 42% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

ARB    ARB CORPORATION LIMITED

Automobiles & Components – Overnight Price: $45.23

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

It is Wilsons' view that ARB Corp supplying products to Ford for accessory packages on its Bronco and Ranger models represents a significant growth opportunity into the USA truck accessory market. 

According to the broker, ARB's association with Ford is increasing brand awareness sufficiently that the company could consider a retail store network to complement the existing wholesale operations.

The Overweight rating and target price of $47.80 are retained. 

This report was published on June 25, 2021.

Target price is $47.80 Current Price is $45.23 Difference: $2.57
If ARB meets the Wilsons target it will return approximately 6% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

ARV    ARTEMIS RESOURCES LIMITED

Mining – Overnight Price: $0.05

Taylor Collison rates ((ARV)) as Speculative Buy (1) –

Having just raised $7m at $0.06/share, Taylor Collison believes Artemis Resources is now well funded for the planned upcoming drilling at Carlow Castle and Paterson South projects, both of which are 100% Artemis owned.

Taylor Collison expects Artemis' active work program going forward to result in steady news flow. Although the Carlow Castle mineral resource estimate update was a setback, the broker believes this has led to a re-set and a base on which to build.

As such, the broker continues to rate Artemis as a Speculative Buy.

This report was published on June 24, 2021.

Current Price is $0.05. Target price not assessed.

All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources

ARX    AROA BIOSURGERY LIMITED

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $1.22

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

Aroa Biosurgery's FY21 annual report has provided further detail compared to the update delivered in May. Bell Potter has not made updates to revenue forecast on maintained guidance from the company. 

Of note to Bell Potter is detail around the company's dead space management program, which has been prioritised to accelerate for development and commercialisation. This follows reported positive pre-clinical outcomes for the device over the course of the year.

The Speculative Buy rating and target price of $2.00 are retained. 

This report was published on June 22, 2021.

Target price is $2.00 Current Price is $1.22 Difference: $0.78

ATU    ATRUM COAL LIMITED

Coal – Overnight Price: $0.06

Shaw and Partners rates ((ATU)) as Downgrade to Hold from Buy (3) –

Shaw and Partners had expected approval of the Grassy Mountain Coal Project to pave the way for Atrum Coal's Elan Coal Project. 

In a move the broker finds surprising, the Grassy Mountain project has been rejected by the Canadian Federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change and the Alberta Regulator.

A 680-page report claimed the benefits of the project do not outweigh potential environmental risks. 

Shaw notes while the rejection was project specific, this makes Atrum Coal's Elan Coal Project less likely to be developed. Atrum Coal will review the report to determine measures that could mitigate concerns. 

The rating is downgraded to Hold with a target price of $0.05.

This report was published on June 23, 2021.

Target price is $0.50 Current Price is $0.06 Difference: $0.44
If ATU meets the Shaw and Partners target it will return approximately 733% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

AVN    AVENTUS GROUP

REITs – Overnight Price: $3.08

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

Largely due to a -64 basis point of cap rate compression, Aventus Group recently provided its portfolio valuation update, a 12% gain compared to December 31.

 Aventus also increased FY21 guidance of funds from operations to 19.4cps, ahead of Goldman Sachs estimate of 19.2cps, and equating to 7% earnings growth over FY20.

The update solidifies the broker's view that Aventus is relatively well-positioned in the current environment, given its large format retail portfolio derives 37% of income from everyday needs tenants.

Although the group has re-rated since late May 2020 – up over 62% and outperforming the REIT index by 28% – the broker believes it remains attractive in the current environment given the organic and external growth strengths

Buy Rating is maintained and the target price increases to $3.27.

This report was published on June 23, 2021.

Target price is $3.27 Current Price is $3.08 Difference: $0.19

Moelis rates ((AVN)) as Sell (5) –

Aventus Group has released updated valuations resulting in a net uplift of $254m, with cap rates compressing 64bps to 6.01%.

Based on Moelis' estimates, the valuation uplift increases net tangible assets (NTA) to $2.70, with the gains also resulting in gearing reducing to 28%, which the broker expects to decrease further once the group settles on the sale of McGregor in July for $42m.

While the group's FY21 result is slightly elevated due to the one-off recoupment of rent deferred through covid, Moelis still expects 0.8% of earnings per share growth in FY22 given ongoing favourable trading conditions for tenants, and slightly lower interest rates.

Sell rating is maintained, and the target price increases to $2.90 from $2.77 on the basis of higher than expected cap rate compression.

This report was released on June 24, 2021.

Target price is $2.90 Current Price is $3.08 Difference: minus $0.18 (current price is over target).
If AVN meets the Moelis target it will return approximately minus 6% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $3.06, suggesting downside of -1.4%(ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

CAI    CALIDUS RESOURCES LIMITED

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $0.48

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

After a recent visit to Calidus Resources' Warrawoona Gold Project, Cannacord Genuity notes the company is around 40% of the way through the $125m build and is targeting first gold in June quarter FY22 with the ramp-up completing shortly after.

In the broker's view, the company has done a commendable job in consolidating the tenure, defining resource/reserves, and obtaining approvals to build the mine.

Canaccord believes Calidus continues to offer exposure to one of WA's next gold production stories. But the broker remains unsure whether there is enough of a working capital buffer to see the company through the ramp-up of Warrawoona on the broker's assumptions, and models further equity dilution in 2022.

Speculative Buy and price target of $0.60 are both unchanged.

This report was issued June 24, 2021.

Target price is $0.60 Current Price is $0.48 Difference: $0.12
If CAI meets the Canaccord Genuity target it will return approximately 25% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY21:

Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY21 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of minus 0.03 cents.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is minus 1600.00.

Forecast for FY22:

Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY22 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 0.10 cents.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 480.00.

CGC    COSTA GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED

Agriculture – Overnight Price: $3.35

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

Following Costa Group's announced acquisition of 2PH Farms for $231m, Bell Potter has downgraded earning per share (EPS) by -14% in calendar year 2021, left them unchanged for 2022, and upgraded them by 13% for 2023.

Bell Potter notes production on the existing orchards is forecast at 30kt in 2021, lifting to around 60kt by 2025 as orchards mature, excluding volumes from new plantings.

Together with previous investments in mushrooms, tomatoes, and International blueberries, Bell Potter believes the acquisition of 2PH Farms is creating an attractive tail of volume and profit growth through to 2025.

Bell Potter retains a Buy rating, and the target price is lowered to $4.30 from $4.60 to reflect lower avocado earnings and dilution from the equity raising, offset in large by 2PH earnings.

This report was published on June 24, 2021.

Target price is $4.30 Current Price is $3.35 Difference: $0.95
If CGC meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately 28% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $4.07, suggesting upside of 22.2%(ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in December.

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

Given the geographic diversification of production, and clear organic growth profile to 2025, Goldman Sachs thinks Costa Group's proposed acquisition of 2PH Farms – the largest citrus producer in Northern Australia – would be a good fit with the company's existing citrus operations.

Costa expects 10% accretion in FY21 on a pro forma basis, and the broker sees significant potential upside as the 2PH orchards mature.

The broker has cut FY21, FY22, and FY23 earning per share (EPS) estimates by -13%, -7%, and -7% respectively.

But the broker estimates EPS accretion of 14-24% in FY25 as production ramps up from the current 30,000 tonnes in FY21 to 60,000-plus tonnes by 2025.

Buy rating is maintained, and the target price is lowered by -13% to $4.20.
