Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Sep 29, 2021

This story features LIFE360 INC, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: 360

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.

360    LIFE360, INC

Software & Services – Overnight Price: $9.03

Bell Potter rates ((360)) as Buy (1) –

With key stats already known, Life360's revenue and earnings were in line with Bell Potter, as was the split between direct and indirect revenue. No dividend as expected.

The broker upgrades revenue forecasts on higher expected annualised monthly revenue but increases its expected loss forecast on management's intention to increase investment in FY22.

A2M    A2 MILK COMPANY LIMITED

Dairy – Overnight Price: $6.10

Bell Potter rates ((A2M)) as Buy (1) –

A2 Milk reported in line with Bell Potter's expectations.

Sell-in rates materially lagged sell-out rates in the second half, the broker notes, implying the company's steps to reduce channel inventories have been effective.

As revenues more closely align to point of sale trends the broker would expect revenue growth to return, which could well be complimented by internalising supply chain costs over FY23-25.

Target falls to $7.70 from $8.50, Buy retained.

This report was published on August 27, 2021.

Target price is $7.70 Current Price is $6.10 Difference: $1.6

ACL    AUSTRALIAN CLINICAL LABS LIMITED

Healthcare services – Overnight Price: $4.68

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

Australian Clinical Labs delivered solid FY21 results, reporting a 2% revenue beat and an 11% profit after tax beat on guidance. 

Goldman Sachs notes not only was the result driven by sustained demand for covid testing, but base revenue was also up 14% in the second half. The company expects margins to settle above 27% as covid volumes decrease. 

The broker updates FY22 sales and profit after tax forecasts by 12% and 65% respectively. 

The Buy rating is retained and the target price increases to $5.50 from $4.80.

This report was published on August 27, 2021.

AIM    AI-MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Commercial Services & Supplies – Overnight Price: $0.92

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

AI-Media Technologies delivered a smaller loss in its maiden result than expected.

The core business, not including acquisitions, exceeded prospectus forecasts from both a revenue and earnings perspective, Bell Potter notes. The key driver of the beat was stronger than expected organic revenue growth despite currency headwinds.

The result reflects an important milestone for management’s execution over the past twelve months, but the broker's focus is now on how the company is set up for a transformational year of growth in FY22.

Buy and $1.50 target retained.

This report was published on August 27, 2021.

Target price is $1.50 Current Price is $0.92 Difference: $0.58
If AIM meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately 63% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY22:

AOF    AUSTRALIAN UNITY OFFICE FUND

REITs – Overnight Price: $2.38

Moelis rates ((AOF)) as Hold (3) –

Australian Unity Office Fund reported FY21 results at the top end of guidance. FY22 guidance is for FFO in a range of 18-18.5c per unit and distributions of 15.2c per unit.

The acquisition of 96 York Street, Beenleigh, Queensland, for $34m with a 10-year WALE and the potential disposal of 32 Philip Street, Parramatta, with a book value of $63m will slightly increase the WALE and reduce gearing.

Moelis is cautious about the valuation despite an apparent -10% discount to net tangible assets, given some income risks. The broker assumes a -27% reduction in earnings between FY21-24 without the disposal of 32 Philip Street.

Hold rating retained. Target is reduced to $2.37 from $2.44.

This report was published on August 27, 2021.

Target price is $2.37 Current Price is $2.38 Difference: minus $0.01 (current price is over target).
If AOF meets the Moelis target it will return approximately minus 0% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY22:

Moelis forecasts a full year FY22 dividend of 15.20 cents and EPS of 18.70 cents.
At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 6.39%.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 12.73.

Forecast for FY23:

Moelis forecasts a full year FY23 dividend of 13.50 cents and EPS of 15.70 cents.
At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 5.67%.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 15.16.

APX    APPEN LIMITED

IT & Support – Overnight Price: $9.12

Bell Potter rates ((APX)) as Hold (3) –

Appen's first half loss was a lot greater than Bell Potter's forecast on lower than expected revenues and margins. Cash flow was relatively weak although the dividend was in line.

Full-year guidance is downgraded on a combination of "ad-related project impacts" and the cost of the acquisition of Quadrant — a global leader in mobile location and point-of-interest data.

The broker cuts earnings forecasts to the low end of the guidance range but warns this still requires a strong second half. Target falls to $11.50 from $13.50, Hold retained.

This report was released on August 27, 2021.

Target price is $11.50 Current Price is $9.12 Difference: $2.38
If APX meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately 26% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $13.78, suggesting upside of 51.0%(ex-dividends)

Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 26.1.

Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY22 dividend of 11.00 cents and EPS of 52.40 cents.
At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 1.21%.

AWC    ALUMINA LIMITED

Aluminium, Bauxite & Alumina – Overnight Price: $2.17

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

Most factors pertaining to the alumina price, costs and capex spend/timing had been flagged prior to first half results by Alcoa/Alumina Ltd, explains Shaw and Partners. The dividend of US$3.4cps was considered in-line with expectations.

The second half dividend will depend on the API alumina price, explains the analyst.  Also, second half capex is expected to be around -$70m higher than the first half (100% joint venture basis), which would trim cash available for dividends by -US$1cps.

Alcoa guided to an API price “now higher than the second quarter" though noted ongoing cost inflation across energy, caustic soda and freight. Shaw and Partners retains its Buy rating and $2.20 target price.

This report was published on August 26, 2021.

Target price is $2.20 Current Price is $2.17 Difference: $0.03
If AWC meets the Shaw and Partners target it will return approximately 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $1.86, suggesting downside of -14.3%(ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in December.

BGA    BEGA CHEESE LIMITED

Dairy – Overnight Price: $5.26

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

FY21 results were ahead of expectations. No quantitative FY22 guidance was provided although management signalled the farmgate environment was increasingly competitive, which Goldman Sachs flags may create a headwind to margins.

Branded sales increased to 73% of the portfolio. Goldman Sachs notes the dairy commodity pricing backdrop is improving and this, if it continues, could allow the business to recover higher farmgate milk prices into FY22.

Neutral rating and $6.40 target maintained.

This report was published on August 27, 2021.

Target price is $6.40 Current Price is $5.26 Difference: $1.14
If BGA meets the Goldman Sachs target it will return approximately 22% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

BST    BEST & LESS GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED

Apparel & Footwear – Overnight Price: $3.35

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

Best & Less Group posted a maiden result well ahead of prospectus forecasts, thanks to a 10.8% lift in sales, of which 9.2% were online.

The performance was driven by strong margin gains reflecting a clearer pricing strategy, a heightened focus on inventory management and a continued focus on cost control, Bell Potter suggests.

Given new lockdowns, the broker forecasts a miss on prospectus for the first half but a beat on full year FY22. Best & Less is well positioned in the current environment, the broker believes, given its strength in defensive essentials.

Buy and $3.30 target retained.

This report was published on August 27, 2021.

Target price is $3.30 Current Price is $3.35 Difference: minus $0.05 (current price is over target).
If BST meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately minus 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).

CAJ    CAPITOL HEALTH LIMITED

Healthcare services – Overnight Price: $0.38

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

FY21 results were broadly in line. Shaw and Partners assesses this was a challenging year for the company although the results were solid. Margins have been sustainably re-based higher and cash flow is at a record.

Growth is expected across revenue and earnings in FY22 although the broker believes the stock requires a catalyst to move higher. Nevertheless, Shaw and Partners considers Capitol Health "too cheap to ignore" and maintains a Buy rating. Target rises to $0.49 from $0.39. 

This report was published on August 27, 2021.

Target price is $0.49 Current Price is $0.38 Difference: $0.11
If CAJ meets the Shaw and Partners target it will return approximately 29% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

CCX    CITY CHIC COLLECTIVE LIMITED

Apparel & Footwear – Overnight Price: $6.59

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

City Chic Collective's strong result was in line with a July update, with earnings up 29% on total sales growth of 33%. FY22 has begun in the same fashion despite A&NZ lockdowns, with Avenue, Evans and Navabi all trading above acquisition levels.

The company now has a strong foothold to grow across all key northern hemisphere markets, Bell Potter suggests. The balance sheet is well placed for investment in growth initiatives including pursuing further acquisition opportunities.

City Chic has also announced several new marketplace partnerships in Germany, the UK and US. Target rises to $7.05 from $6.60, Buy retained.

This report was published on August 27, 2021.

Target price is $7.05 Current Price is $6.59 Difference: $0.46

CGC    COSTA GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED

Agriculture – Overnight Price: $3.19

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

Costa Group reported in line with forecasts and full year guidance is largely unchanged, with 2021 earnings expected to marginally exceed 2020.

Bell Potter's view remains favourable on the back of the expansion and maturation of berry operations and avocado orchards, further investment in avocado, citrus and tomato capacity and a non-recurrence of hail damage, all supported by stronger prices.

Buy and $4.30 target retained.

This report was published on August 27, 2021.

---

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

Goldman Sachs notes Costa Group Holdings' first half results were largely in line with expectations, and full year guidance is retained. 

A key highlight in the first half for Goldman Sachs included 25% year-on-year revenue growth in the International Division. The broker further noted the company is well-placed for increased penetration of Asian export markets.

Driven by the 2PH Citrus Farms acquisition, the broker updates earnings per share estimates by -9.2%, 3.5% and 11.5% for FY21, FY22 and FY23

The Buy rating is retained and the target price increases to $4.30 from $4.20.

CUV    CLINUVEL PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $41.90

Moelis rates ((CUV)) as Hold (3) –

Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals sustained strong growth in FY21 amid the roll-out of Scenesse to EPP patients in the US.

Moelis notes the first 12 months of sales in the US delivered $17m in revenue. There appears to be less seasonality in the US and patients generally opt for continuous coverage so the broker expects US sales will double in FY22.

Meanwhile, pricing is a risk in the EU and it remains to be seen whether the company is successful in having its proposed price increase adopted. Hold maintained. Target is $31.78.

This report was published on August 26, 2021.

Target price is $31.78 Current Price is $41.90 Difference: minus $10.12 (current price is over target).
If CUV meets the Moelis target it will return approximately minus 24% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY22:

Moelis forecasts a full year FY22 dividend of 4.30 cents and EPS of 54.60 cents.
At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 0.10%.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 76.74.

DTC    DAMSTRA HOLDINGS LIMITED

Software & Services – Overnight Price: $0.87

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

FY21 results were, overall, in line with expectations. Shaw and Partners notes this was a volatile year with international markets shut and large customers in North America delaying purchasing decisions.

Lycopodium's strong long-term track record of project delivery came to the fore in FY21, Bell Potter notes, in which
despite a difficult operating environment, margins rose to 16.4% after accelerating in the second half.

The broker is more confident of the company's ability to successfully navigate current operational challenges in its core international business, although potential for international project delays and deferrals remains given uncertain future covid measures.

After another year of revenue and earnings growth, Macquarie Telecom has now notched up earnings growth for seven consecutive years, Bell Potter notes.

Building Products & Services – Overnight Price: $5.20

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

FY21 operating earnings of $75.9m were ahead of estimates and at the upper end of guidance. Moelis notes the balance sheet has flexibility for further growth while the outbreaks of coronavirus across NSW and other regions have not had a huge impact on operations to date.

No guidance was provided for FY22 although the divisional commentary and recent acquisitions underpin the broker's FY22 EBITDA estimate of $120.7m amid potential upside. Moelis upgrades to Buy from Hold and reduces the target to $5.97 from $6.12.

MLG    MLG OZ LIMITED

Mining Sector Contracting – Overnight Price: $0.93

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

MLG Oz reported a strong maiden result, slightly ahead of prospectus, on revenue growth driven by strong demand for haulage and some recoveries of higher costs, despite challenging labour market conditions, Bell Potter notes.

The completion of operations at Christmas Creek and new projects ramping-up are expected to provide an earnings headwind in the first half FY22, with earnings to be skewed to second.

MLG is experiencing strong demand for its integrated services, including being shortlisted for a significant opportunity with
Roy Hill, which would de-risk the broker's estimates to the upside.

Buy retained, target ticks up to $1.06 from $1.05.

MVP    MEDICAL DEVELOPMENTS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $5.06

Moelis rates ((MVP)) as Buy (1) –

While FY21 results were in-line with guidance, Moelis assesses a weak result. This was considered largely driven by cost increases and revenue impacts from the transition to direct distribution in Europe, Australia and Canada.

The analyst points out that by excluding milestone payments, revenue from product sales declined by -26%. No dividend was declared and no guidance profferred though management ‘anticipates strong sales growth in FY22,’ as the EU expansion progresses.

The Australian business is back at pre-covid levels and the broker expects increased market penetration. An EU roll-out will be initially focused on France. In a sensible move, according to Moelis, a third party sales network will be utilised to quickly scale-up.

The broker maintains its Buy rating and lowers its target price to $5.40 from $7.03.

This report was published on August 25, 2021.

Target price is $5.40 Current Price is $5.06 Difference: $0.34

MYX    MAYNE PHARMA GROUP LIMITED

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $0.30

NIC    NICKEL MINES LIMITED

Nickel – Overnight Price: $0.95

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

Nickel Mines' first half result fell short of Bell Potter on higher cost of goods sold and other expenses. That said, revenue was up 27% and earnings up 51%. The key positive surprise was a 2c dividend.

The broker suggests this sends a strong signal on future shareholder returns and management’s expectations for a better second half performance. Improving nickel prices are expected to offset cost pressures.

The result demonstrates the miner’s strong growth phase and earnings leverage which, in the broker's view, sets it apart from its ASX-listed peers.

Buy retained, target falls to $1.50 from $1.52.

This report was published on August 27, 2021.

Target price is $1.50 Current Price is $0.95 Difference: $0.55

Shaw and Partners rates ((NIC)) as Upgrade to Hold from Sell (3) –

First half net profit was substantially ahead of the prior corresponding half yet below Shaw and Partners forecasts because of lower price realisations and higher costs.

The broker has changed the way it models the Hengjaya mine to align with the company's reporting methodology. While this has no impact on the bottom line or valuation, it reduces reported revenue by -US$60m per annum.

The broker assumes costs remain elevated for the rest of 2021 before reducing in 2022 as coal prices normalise. Margins are expected to improve in the second half and the broker upgrades to Hold from Sell. Target is unchanged at $1.05.

NSR    NATIONAL STORAGE REIT

REITs – Overnight Price: $2.31

Moelis rates ((NSR)) as Downgrade to Sell from Hold (5) –

The FY21 EPS of 8.5c was a circa 2.5% beat versus the Moelis estimate. This was considered driven by an uplift in organic performance and another strong year for acquisitions.

The target rises to $2.11 from $1.91. After a share price rally the rating falls to Sell from Hold. The analyst highlights a strong rise in occupancy has been accompanied by rate growth, driving revenue per available square metre (RevPAM) 24.3% higher to $234.

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $8.26

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

Following FY21 results that were broadly in-line with expectations, Shaw and Partners believes the company has the gold inventory in place to underpin five-year growth plans. The final dividend increased to 9.5cps making the full year dividend 19cps.

While numbers were complicated by a period of M&A, including the Super Pit (KCGM) asset and the Saracen merger, earnings improved year-on-year as did margins, highlights the analyst.

Cloud services – Overnight Price: $12.46

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

FY21 results were mixed, while FY22 guidance at the mid point is below Goldman Sachs forecasts albeit in line when adjusted for power pricing.

Goldman Sachs assesses the FY21 decline in yields reflects lower power pricing and a faster ramp up in hyper-scale billing. The main concern is the implication for facility returns although the broker is broadly comfortable with forecasts of 10-11% in returns.

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

FY21 results were softer than Wilsons expected although generally beat guidance. The broker highlights the fact that revenues can be influenced by power prices and energy costs. Higher power prices have a marginal positive impact on revenue.

PBP    PROBIOTEC LIMITED

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $2.23

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

Shaw and Partners assesses overall FY21 profit numbers were ahead of consensus forecasts at the bottom line and cash flows/balance sheet were a 170% beat. Cash flow strength was shown by the reversal of skew to favour the second half from the usual first half bias.

Operating earnings (EBITDA) were a 6% beat versus the broker, underwritten by packing assets, with OTC pharma remaining under pressure. Also, operating cash flows also were a 85% beat while the final DPS of 3cps was in-line.

With the Australian dollar under pressure and a structural move towards on-shoring and being closer to the consumer post-covid, the analyst believes the company is well placed to be a major beneficiary in Australia.

Shaw and Partners retains its Buy rating and lifts its target price to $2.90 from $2.77.

The report was published on August 26, 2021.

Target price is $2.90 Current Price is $2.23 Difference: $0.67

PFP    PROPEL FUNERAL PARTNERS LIMITED

Consumer Products & Services – Overnight Price: $4.09

Moelis rates ((PFP)) as Buy (1) –

Following FY21 results, Moelis concludes a fall in case volumes was offset by resilient pricing, incremental acquisition earnings, strong cost control and circa $2.2m of government subsidies.

Second half funeral volume comparisons were positive and the trend continued into July 2021 (including record funeral cases for the company), points out the analyst. However, lockdown restrictions are considered likely to adversely impact pricing and mix.

Commencing in FY23, the broker assumes there will be two acquisitions per year. The target price is increased $4.13 from $3.52 and the Buy rating is retained.

This report was published on August 26, 2021. 

Target price is $4.13 Current Price is $4.09 Difference: $0.04

PNV    POLYNOVO LIMITED

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $1.88

Bell Potter rates ((PNV)) as Hold (3) –

Polynovo reported a solid FY21 result, Bell Potter suggests, with revenues up 32% as pre-announced in July. NovoSorb BTM sales improved by 34%, with US sales improving by 49%. Earnings beat expectations.

The broker views this result, especially during a covid-impacted period, as a positive. The launch company's Syntrel hernia product will be delayed — now by two years from initial announcement — but this was not unexpected.

This takes the target down to $2.10 from $2.50. Hold retained due to the stock trading at a significant premium to domestic and international wound care and MedTech peers.

This report was published on August 27, 2021

PPG    PRO-PAC PACKAGING LIMITED

Overnight Price: $0.22

Moelis rates ((PPG)) as Buy (1) –

Following FY21 results, Moelis backs management to further execute on the turnaround strategy. Revenue and underlying earnings (EBITDA) – pre-AASB 16 – were beats versus the broker's forecasts by 0.9% and 5.2%, respectively.

The analyst believes the result stems from a focus on fewer but more profitable product lines, higher margins coming through from the Supreme Packaging acquisition and operational efficiencies across segments.

Management points to a FY22 “focus on profitable revenue growth with confidence from early wins”, while certain programs are expected to deliver $7m in annual benefits. The broker upgrades FY22-24 EPS estimates by 30.9%, 31.2% and 32.6%, respectively.

Moelis upgrades its rating to Buy from Hold and raises its target price to $0.25 from $0.22.

This report was published on August 26, 2021.

---

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

FY21 results revealed revenues and profit (PBT) ahead of Shaw and Partners estimates. Group revenues were a beat by $6m and included $11m of new business wins. The broker retains its Buy rating and raises its target price to $0.31 from $0.30.

Profit included 7% margins for Flexibles, a return to profitability for the Industrials business and some normalisation in Rigid, after strong FY20 covid-tailwinds, explains the analyst. Despite lower revenues, portfolio consolidation is considered to be lifting profit margins. 

According to Shaw and Partners, there's compelling value on offer as the company trades at a material discount to peers.

This report was published on 26 August, 2021.

RFG    RETAIL FOOD GROUP LIMITED

Food, Beverages & Tobacco – Overnight Price: $0.08

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

Shaw and Partners assesses a very strong FY21 result, with earnings (EBITDA) higher than forecast and key operating metrics well ahead of expectations. Same store sales growth and brand network outlet numbers were some of the outperforming metrics.

Despite a wobbly balance sheet, legacy regulatory issues and covid-19, the analyst feels the multi-year turnaround effort is progressing. Further comfort is derived from a read through on the current ACCC court action. The Buy rating and $0.14 target price are unchanged.

This report was published on August 26, 2021.

Target price is $0.14 Current Price is $0.08 Difference: $0.06

RMS    RAMELIUS RESOURCES LIMITED

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $1.30

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

FY21 net profit was up 12% and ahead of forecasts. The record result came on the back of stronger production and higher gold prices, partially offset by rising costs.

Shaw and Partners notes FY22 is expected to be another strong year, although reduces forecasts because of higher depreciation and amortisation expenses. There was no further news on growth options.

Buy rating maintained. Target is reduced to $2.49 from $2.57.

This report was published on August 27, 2021. 

Target price is $2.49 Current Price is $1.30 Difference: $1.19
If RMS meets the Shaw and Partners target it will return approximately 92% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

RMY    RMA GLOBAL LIMITED

Real Estate – Overnight Price: $0.20

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

RMA Global reported a 52% increase in FY21 revenue in line with Bell Potter's forecast, driven by a solid uplift in product adoption within A&NZ.

The broker sees momentum building within the US in FY22, with the company having now partnered with four major
national agency groups to expand its market presence and drive ongoing platform adoption.

This should lead to a step-change in US subscription adoption over the year ahead, the broker suggests.

Buy (Speculative) and 38c target retained.

SLA    SILK LASER AUSTRALIA LIMITED

Healthcare services – Overnight Price: $4.28

Wilsons rates ((SLA)) as Upgrade to Overweight from Market Weight (1) –

Silk Laser Australia's earnings were resilient in the second half according to Wilsons. The thirteen clinics being impacted by covid lockdowns are reportedly not significant profit drivers, and the broker notes clinic maturation in core clinics has partially offset impact. 

Settlement on the transaction of Australian Skin Clinics is expected in September, and Wilsons notes covid restrictions will be more impactful following the acquisition with a higher number of clinics in affected areas. 

The rating is upgraded to Overweight from Market Weight and the target price decreases to $4.50 from $4.54.

This report was published on August 26, 2021.

SLH    SILK LOGISTICS HOLDINGS LIMITED

Transportation & Logistics – Overnight Price: $2.19

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

FY21 results were ahead of prospectus as well as forecasts. Shaw and Partners makes no material changes to forecasts yet notes the positive momentum heading into FY22.

The broker considers the business well-positioned for profitable growth, being in an attractive and large addressable market that is very fragmented. There is also minimal debt, management expertise is high and the risk/reward equation has become compelling.

Buy rating and $3.15 target maintained.

This report was published on August 27, 2021.

SLK    SEALINK TRAVEL GROUP LIMITED

Travel, Leisure & Tourism – Overnight Price: $8.99

Bell Potter rates ((SLK)) as Hold (3) –

SeaLink Travel's 85% FY21 earnings increase fell a little short of Bell Potter. The dividend was in line.

The main driver of the result was a full 12-month contribution from the Transit acquisition, new contract wins and a rebound in the
performance of the Marine & Tourism business.

SeaLink continues to deliver on its growth strategy and is positively leveraged to domestic tourism over the medium term, the broker notes, but short term headwinds in the UK bus business and the absence of strong operating conditions for the company’s Marine & Tourism business pose downside risk to earnings across the first half FY22.

No guidance was offered. Target falls to $9.00 from $9.50, Hold retained.

This report was published on August 27, 2021.

Target price is $9.00 Current Price is $8.99 Difference: $0.01

SSM    SERVICE STREAM LIMITED

Industrial Sector Contractors & Engineers – Overnight Price: $0.86

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

Service Stream's result was in line with the details it provided alongside the previous announcement of its acquisition of Lendlease Services, with lower NBN activation and construction volumes leading Telecommunications revenues to decline by -28%.

Management stated that it has not yet seen material financial impacts from current lockdowns across Australia and does not expect lockdowns to continue throughout the year.

Bell Potter believes additional operational risks would exist in the event of long-lasting lockdowns beyond the first half FY22 and as such adopts slightly more conservative estimates, albeit retaining Buy and a $1.15 target.

The key catalyst will be the successful integration of Lendlease Services.

This report was published on August 27, 2021.

ST1    SPIRIT TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS LIMITED

Telecommunication – Overnight Price: $0.24

Shaw and Partners rates ((ST1)) as Buy (1) –

While mainly pre-released, Shaw and Partners assesses a strong set of FY21 results. The first quarter of FY22 has been lockdown-affected and a resumption in economic activity and a small to medium business reopening is required to elevate margins.

The analyst reminds us that based upon recoveries from prior lockdowns, there's likely be a substantial bounce back in demand and a reopening thematic is likely to dominate from the second quarter onwards.

The broker lowers its target price to $0.43 from $0.46 and it's Buy rating is unchanged.

This report was published on August 26, 2021.

SXE    SOUTHERN CROSS ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LIMITED

Mining Sector Contracting – Overnight Price: $0.64

Moelis rates ((SXE)) as Buy (1) –

Moelis notes a FY21 revenue miss though earnings were slightly ahead partly due to a strong margin performance. Earnings (EBITDA) of $29.6m compared to an expectation for $28.8m. It should be noted this includes $8.1m in JobKeeper benefits.

The analyst points out gross profit margins, excluding one-offs, were 13.5% above the historical average due to improved project mix (including Trivantage). Additionally, there was no repeat of lower margin transport projects from the prior period, explains the broker.

The final dividend of 4cps fully franked was a beat on the 3cps forecast by Moelis. The broker maintains its Buy rating and lowers its target price to $0.73 from $0.77. The FY21 revenue miss is thought to highlight potential risk to earnings from project delays and covid. 

The report was published on August 26, 2021.

Target price is $0.73 Current Price is $0.64 Difference: $0.09
If SXE meets the Moelis target it will return approximately 14% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Apparel & Footwear – Overnight Price: $7.92

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

Universal Store Holdings' FY21 profits after tax of $30.4m were in line with consensus forecasts. Highlights for Wilsons included strong underlying store sales growth. 

The broker also highlights the company is accelerating the store rollout plan, and intends to open seven stores in the first half of FY22 and three stores in the second half of FY22, well ahead of Wilsons' previous forecast. 

The underlying earnings forecast is updated by -26.9% and 3.2% for FY22 and FY23, with FY22 being negatively impacted by covid lockdowns.

WHC    WHITEHAVEN COAL LIMITED

Coal – Overnight Price: $3.27

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

Whitehaven Coal reported in line with expectations. A $457m after-tax impairment was reported which mostly related to coal reserve reductions and mine-plan changes at Narrabri, Bell Potter notes.

FY22 guidance suggests coal sales below the broker's estimate, costs in line and capex materially higher, although coal prices have run to record levels which could result in a rapid de-gearing phase and a return to dividends.

Buy retained in recognition of valuation and the significant cash flow the miner’s assets are currently generating. Target rises to $2.60 from $2.40.

This report was published on August 27, 2021.

Target price is $2.60 Current Price is $3.27 Difference: minus $0.67 (current price is over target).
If WHC meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately minus 20% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).

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

The FY21 loss was in line with expectations and Shaw and Partners describes the year as the company's "annus horribilis". The outlook is now better for FY22 as a strong coal price has allowed the balance sheet to be de-leveraged and cash returned.

Whitehaven Coal expects that, at current prices, it will be debt free in the second half of FY22. The broker remarks on the velocity of the de-leveraging, demonstrated by the retiring of $178m in debt since June 30.

The company is not planning to start on its two greenfield projects just yet, intending to "get a year or so behind us" in terms of stellar coal prices. Shaw and Partners retains a Buy rating with a $3.50 target.

Cloud services – Overnight Price: $2.24

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

As most metrics had been pre-released, FY21 results delivered few surprises to Shaw and Partners. FY22 guidance was in-line with expectations and the broker makes only minor forecast changes. The Buy rating and $4.75 price target are unchanged.
