Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Sep 06, 2021

Daily Market Reports | Sep 06 2021

This story features ARENA REIT, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: ARF

FNArena will be updating Special Editions of this Report in September dedicated to the August Reporting Season.

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.

Jarden rates ((ARF)) as Buy (2) –

Jarden believes childcare's long weighted average lease expiry (WALE), steady rental growth backed by government support, and portfolio growth through acquisitions and developments, together with Arena's internally managed structure, drives the REIT's ongoing funds from operations/distribution per unit growth well ahead of the passive REIT peer group.

The broker has upgraded funds from operations/distribution per unit growth forecasts by 3-4% to reflect this and thinks risk to guidance is on the upside, due to add-on acquisitions, rising inflation expectations driving rental growth, and ongoing reduction in the cost of debt.

Overweight rating is unchanged and the target increases to $3.75 from $3.45.

AZJ    AURIZON HOLDINGS LIMITED

Transportation & Logistics – Overnight Price: $3.79

Jarden rates ((AZJ)) as Downgrade to Neutral from Overweight (3) –

While Aurizon Holdings reported underlying earnings of $903m in FY21, near the top end of guidance, Jarden notes the result included a number of non-recurring items that boosted growth.

Segmentally, the Bulk business continued to be a earnings growth driving force, while Coal was impacted by lower haulage volumes. Notably, Bulk capital expenditure was also up 78%, and the company is guiding to an increase in Coal volumes of 5% for FY22 despite contract volumes falling around -6%.

Jarden has updated earnings per share forecasts by -2%, -3% and -1% through to FY24.

The rating is downgraded to Neutral from Overweight and the target price decreases to $4.30 from $4.40.

BWP    BWP TRUST

REITs – Overnight Price: $4.11

Jarden rates ((BWP)) as Sell (5) –

It is Jarden's view that BWP Trust's FY21 result and FY22 guidance are representative of the company struggling to show any funds from operations or distribution per unit growth at the moment. The broker highlights this is despite a relatively marginal covid impact and a low interest rate environment, among other factors.

Jarden also notes management has more actively considered acquisitions, and has a balance sheet capacity to fund this, and that net tangible asset growth remains strong with further upside.

The Sell rating is retained and the target price increases to $3.50 from $3.30.

This report was published on August 4, 2021.

Target price is $3.50 Current Price is $4.11 Difference: minus $0.61 (current price is over target).

CBA    COMMONWEALTH BANK OF AUSTRALIA

Banks – Overnight Price: $101.84

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

Goldman Sachs believes Commonwealth Bank's FY21 cash earnings from continued operations of $8,653, a 3.7% beat on the broker's expectations, was driven by significant outperformance on bad and doubtful debts (BDD).

However, this was offset by higher costs and a slight miss on revenues which drove a -1.1% miss at the pre-provision operating profit line.

While no specific group guidance was provided, the bank highlighted key considerations on margin outlook into FY22 include headwinds from: a low-rate environment, price competition, home loan, and deposits mix, and higher liquids and tailwinds from the term funding facility funding benefit.

Looking ahead, the broker notes the bank has reiterated its full-year target payout ratio of 70-80%, with an interim payout of circa 70%, and will continue to maintain a significant balance of surplus franking credits.

The Sell rating is unchanged: Target price of $81.87.

This report was published on August 11, 2021. 

Target price is $81.87 Current Price is $101.84 Difference: minus $19.97 (current price is over target).

CCP    CREDIT CORP GROUP LIMITED

Business & Consumer Credit – Overnight Price: $31.68

Canaccord Genuity rates ((CCP)) as Hold (3) –

Canaccord Genuity notes that Credit Corp Group is starting the year fairly light on contracted debt purchasing volumes, given customer finance arrears are at record lows and banks remain lenient on delinquent borrowers. 

The company's FY21 net profit of $88.1m was within the guidance range, but purchasing of $293m was a miss on the $310-330m guidance, and initial guidance for FY22 is almost flat on FY21 results.

The broker notes there is some suggestion that volumes will pick up throughout the year, and highlights that Credit Corp's strong funding position in comparison to its peers should allow it to retain a high level of market share.

The Hold rating is retained and the target price decreases to $28.80 from $30.00. 

This report was published on August 4, 2020.

Target price is $28.00 Current Price is $31.68 Difference: minus $3.68 (current price is over target).

CGF    CHALLENGER LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $6.44

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

Goldman Sachs attributes Challenger's slightly stronger than expected FY21 normalised net profit of $278.5m to a mix of better life book growth plus margin, weaker funds management margins, and a lower than expected second half FY21 tax rate.

Challenger reiterated the normalised profit before tax guidance range of $430m-$480m for FY22.

A final dividend per share (DPS) of 10.5c was slightly stronger than the broker expected, equating to a normalised FY21 payout ratio of 48%.

The broker has made mild compositional adjustments to FY22-FY23 normalised net profit which results in low single-digit upgrades and also introduce FY24 estimates.

The Neutral rating has been retained and the target price increases to $5.77 from $5.72.

This report was published on August 10, 2021.

Target price is $5.77 Current Price is $6.44 Difference: minus $0.67 (current price is over target).

CIP    CENTURIA INDUSTRIAL REIT

REITs – Overnight Price: $4.00

Jarden rates ((CIP)) as Buy (1) –

According to Jarden, Centuria Industrial REIT's FY21 results were line with forecast, but provided FY22 guidance is conservative. The broker considers the provided minimum funds from operations per share of 18.1 cents for the next year allows plenty of runway to upgrade earnings outlooks.

Jarden highlights continuing strong market conditions, low-risk core assets, covid provisioning, and potential upside from debt refinancing as drivers of a more positive outlook.

The broker also notes Centuria Industrial's second half cap rate compression was among the highest level of growth for a REIT on record. 

The Buy rating is retained and the target price increases to $4.10 from $3.75.

Moelis notes the company has remained acquisition active, deploying $191m of capital into new acquisitions in the last six months, and the broker highlights more than half of these had not settled at years-end.

The broker also notes while occupancy reduced slightly since December, to 96.9% from 97.7%, average rent collections recovered to 99% for the half.

CLW    CHARTER HALL LONG WALE REIT

REITs – Overnight Price: $5.35

Jarden rates ((CLW)) as Buy (1) –

It is Jarden's view that the current valuation of Charter Hall Long Wale REIT does not reflect improving portfolio metrics, or the company's strong acquisition record and pipeline.

According to Jarden there is potential upside risk to the company's FY22 funds from operations growth guidance of 4.5%. The broker notes this number could be conservative given it does not reflect further leasing progress in Bowen Hills or further acquisitions.

Jarden is confident the company will continue to add $300-500m in acquisitions in FY22, and $200m per annum each in FY23 and FY24.

The Buy rating is retained and the target price increases to $5.75 from $5.50.

This report was published on August 9, 2021.

CNI    CENTURIA CAPITAL GROUP

Diversified Financials – Overnight Price: $3.47

Jarden rates ((CNI)) as Buy (2) –

Centuria Capital Group's FY21 earning per share (EPS) of 12.0c was at the midpoint of guidance of 11.5-12.5c but below Jarden and consensus estimates.

While Centuria is now cycling higher levels from which to grow, Jarden believes the group is well-positioned to continue doing so, given the outlook for real assets remains strong.

Due to Centuria's broadened capital and real estate sub-sector base, together with dislocation from lockdowns, the broker expects the group to remain active, growing into recently established alternative subsectors.

The broker believes the FY22 outlook is strong, with guided EPS 13.2c and DPS 11.0c, both above consensus and prior Jarden, driven by continued funds under management (FUM) growth.

Jarden expects the group to go on outperforming the broker's broader REIT coverage, with a 9.7% 3-year EPS compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and scope to grow further.

Overweight rating is unchanged, and the target price increases to $3.15 from $2.90.

Target price is $3.15 Current Price is $3.47 Difference: minus $0.32 (current price is over target).

COF    CENTURIA OFFICE REIT

REITs – Overnight Price: $2.59

Jarden rates ((COF)) as Neutral (3) –

Insurance – Overnight Price: $5.40

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

While Insurance Australia Group's FY21 cash and reported net profit was in line with Goldman Sachs, what was of more interest to the broker was the disclosure that highlighted domestic intermediated underlying margin was broadly flat sequentially at 3.9%.

Jarden rates ((IAG)) as Buy (1) –

Despite preannouncing headline FY21 metrics, full results details increase Jarden's conviction on Insurance Group Australia's ability to deliver medium-term insurance trading ratio (ITR) expansion despite a significant step-up in its FY22 catastrophe budget, enhancing the quality of underling ITRs.

Jarden believes high-level reserve metrics suggest that the company has adopted more conservative reserving at June FY21, hence reducing the scope for further top-ups and lifting the broker's confidence in FY22 ITR guidance.

Jarden attributes the correction in Transurban Group's share price since the release of second-half FY21 results, which were broadly in line with estimates, to investor concerns over the near-term operating conditions and uncertainty on the West Gate Tunnel cost overrun.
