Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Jun 22, 2022

Daily Market Reports | Jun 22 2022

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.

Hardware & Equipment – Overnight Price: $25.73

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

Altium has undertaken various initiatives that suggest it is targeting subscriber growth versus revenue growth in the second half. Therefore, Bell Potter acknowledges there is potential risk to revenue and earnings margin guidance in FY22.

On the other hand, the broker points out first half revenue growth was strong and the company narrowed its guidance towards the upper end of the range back in February, knowing these marketing initiatives would be implemented.

Bell Potter continues to forecast FY22 revenue of US$218.5m, slightly ahead of the top end of guidance. Buy rating maintained. Target is reduced  to $34.00 from $41.25.

Since the IPO, Atturra has made two acquisitions that Shaw and Partners notes are both strategic and geographically relevant for sector/vendor expansion.

BGA    BEGA CHEESE LIMITED

Dairy – Overnight Price: $3.93

Bell Potter rates ((BGA)) as Downgrade to Hold from Buy (3) –

Bell Potter reviews the drivers of the outlook and becomes more cautious. Milk production in south-east Australia has contracted, with Murray catchment production down -6.3% in the year to April.

Farmgate pricing has lifted materially and the broker allows for just modest price recovery in the Bega Cheese branded portfolio. The net effect of the review is a downgrade to net profit estimates of -30% in FY23 and -26% in FY24.

Rating is downgraded to Hold from Buy and the target reduced to $4.20 from $5.90.

This report was published on June 20, 2022.

BUB    BUBS AUSTRALIA LIMITED

Dairy – Overnight Price: $0.61

Bell Potter rates ((BUB)) as Speculative Hold (3) –

Updated FY22 guidance has gross revenue forecast to exceed $100m and underlying EBITDA to be at least double the first half. At first glance, the guidance is softer than Bell Potter previously estimated and, therefore, probably includes some conservatism.

In recent weeks Bubs Australia has reached agreements with Walmart, Kroger and Albertsons for additional deliveries of infant formula product into the USA.

While upgrading net revenue forecasts by 6-10%, the broker downgrades margin assumptions, resulting in EBITDA downgrades of -19%. A Speculative Hold rating is maintained. Target is $0.75.

This report was published on June 17, 2022.

Target price is $0.75 Current Price is $0.61 Difference: $0.14
If BUB meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately 23% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 610.00.

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

BVS    BRAVURA SOLUTIONS LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $1.46

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

Goldman Sachs retains its Neutral rating for Bravura Solutions due to uncertainty regarding labour inflation and its impact on profit margins. Moreover, there's considered to be little clarity on how the new deal pipeline will convert over the next 12 months.

The broker also points out higher costs ex-wages could present further downside risk to its below-consensus estimates. It's thought further consensus downgrades may be needed before the share price can re-rate.

The target falls to $1.75 from $1.90.

This report was published on June 21, 2022.

Target price is $1.75 Current Price is $1.46 Difference: $0.29

BXB    BRAMBLES LIMITED

Transportation & Logistics – Overnight Price: $10.59

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

Updating its US pallets cost tracker for May, Jarden assesses the implications for Brambles are mixed. Lumber price declines have accelerated, down -15% over April/May.

The broker believes this could increase access to lumber for whitewood and recycled wood alternatives and potentially drive down industry pallet prices.

Meanwhile, transport freight rates are rising, up 13.2% in May. All up, the broker assesses inflation headwinds are moderating but this could have mixed implications for competition and pallet repair/return intensity. Overweight rating and $11.50 target maintained.

This report was published on June 20, 2022.

Target price is $11.50 Current Price is $10.59 Difference: $0.91
If BXB meets the Jarden target it will return approximately 9% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

COD    CODA MINERALS LIMITED

Mining – Overnight Price: $0.31

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

Coda Minerals has positive results from assays at drill hole EBD7 and has recently announced a major increase in the lateral extent of known mineralisation at Emmie.

While drilling results have been positive, this is not enough to justify continued drilling at the Emmie IOCG system without the support of further geophysical surveys to refine the targets, Shaw and Partners contends.

The company is commencing geophysical surveys, expected to take three months, before a new drill plan will be outlined. Target is reduced to $0.90 from $2.50. Buy rating retained.

This report was published on June 21, 2022.

Target price is $0.90 Current Price is $0.31 Difference: $0.59
If COD meets the Shaw and Partners target it will return approximately 190% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

COE    COOPER ENERGY LIMITED

Crude Oil – Overnight Price: $0.32

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

Cooper Energy will acquire  the Orbost gas processing plant for $270-330m. The company will raise $244m in equity via an institutional placement and entitlement offer. A new $400m revolving corporate debt facility to refinance the existing syndicate debt facility will also be undertaken.

Bell Potter observes the arrangements clear a number of capital funding uncertainties for the company which now must work to improve the processing rates at the plant and fully leverage its Sole asset while delivering into current record-high spot gas markets.

Bell Potter retains a Buy rating and $0.33 target.

This report was published on June 20, 2022.

Target price is $0.33 Current Price is $0.32 Difference: $0.01

CPU    COMPUTERSHARE LIMITED

Diversified Financials – Overnight Price: $23.92

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

Jarden assesses Computershare is the most leveraged listed Australian financial stock to rising risk-free rates, and placed to benefit from the outlook. The broker estimates more than $100m in upside to consensus margin income forecasts over FY23 and FY24.

This should counter the softer backdrop for transaction revenue and higher operating costs. Jarden also expects the company can de-gear more rapidly, with net debt/EBITDA falling from 2.1x at the first half to be net cash by FY26.

Overweight rating maintained. Target rises to $26.25 from $24.00.

LDX    LUMOS DIAGNOSTICS HOLDINGS LIMITED

Medical Equipment & Devices – Overnight Price: $0.15

Bell Potter rates ((LDX)) as Speculative Buy (1) –

Lumos Diagnostics has been successful in cutting costs in the US, resulting in scaled capacity and personnel and targeting monthly cash burn of less than -US$1m by the end of FY22.

An institutional entitlement offer has been completed, raising $8m. The US FDA is also expected to provide an indicative clearance decision within 58 days after the filing of its FebriDX asset for approval on May 9.

Bell Potter maintains a Speculative Buy rating and reduces the target to $0.28 from $0.75. The valuation is driven by discounted cash flow, upwardly adjusted cost of capital as well as the dilutive effect of the new shares, the broker explains.

This report was published on June 17, 2022.

Target price is $0.28 Current Price is $0.15 Difference: $0.13
If LDX meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately 87% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

OCL    OBJECTIVE CORPORATION LIMITED

IT & Support – Overnight Price: $13.52

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

Goldman Sachs feels Objective is sending positive signals to the market by announcing up to 10% of share on issue will be purchased via an on market share buyback.

Having said that, the broker (based on little actual buying during the prior buyback) suspects there will be no material reduction in shares on issue, as at least $30m cash will be retained on the balance sheet. It's thought this money will be applied to an acquisition in the US.

The analyst notes a strong company history of buying back shares prior to share price outperformance. The Neutral rating and $19.05 target price are maintained.

This report was published on June 21, 2022.

Target price is $19.05 Current Price is $13.52 Difference: $5.53

PBH    POINTSBET HOLDINGS LIMITED

Gaming – Overnight Price: $2.78

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

SIG Sports Investments Corp, a member of the Susquehanna International Group of Companies, will become the largest shareholder in PointsBet Holdings following a $94m placement at $2.34/share.

Goldman Sachs sees strategic merit in the alliance which includes an agreement to potentially accelerate the company's technology capability.

Separately, PointsBet Holdings announced a pro-rata deferred bonus equity option issuance to eligible shareholders. This option will potentially raise around $150m over the next two years.

The broker remains Buy-rated and leaves its $5.78 target price unchanged.

Meanwhile, the European business that was acquired in April 2021 has entered into an exploratory agreement with Nellie Analytics for an exclusive sports analytical services offering to PointsBet.

Jarden assesses the capital raising is taking place at a particularly challenging time for markets and follows a sharp downturn in the share price. Still, additional funding certainty was needed. Buy rating retained. Target is reduced to $3.81 from $8.10.

This report was published on June 21, 2022.

JP Morgan rates ((PBH)) as Underweight (5) –

Following the rejection by PointsBet Holdings of a bid by News Corp ((NWS)), the company has announced SIG Sports will become a 'strategic investor' and largest shareholder. This follows a $94m placement at $2.34/share.

The company also signed a nine-month temporary agreement with Nellie Analytics (part of the wider Susquehanna Group owner of SIG Sports) to increase its analytical capabilities.

Neither of these announcements sways JP Morgan from its Underweight rating as challenges remain in the US and regulatory change in Australia is a potential headwind. The $1.95 target price is unchanged.

This report was published on June 21, 2022.

Target price is $1.95 Current Price is $2.78 Difference: minus $0.83 (current price is over target).
If PBH meets the JP Morgan target it will return approximately minus 30% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

RDY    READYTECH HOLDINGS LIMITED

Software & Services – Overnight Price: $2.71

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

ReadyTech will acquire IT Vision, a software provider to Australian local government, for up to $54.6m. The cash portion of the payment will be funded by debt.

Jarden considers the transaction "strategically sound" as it expands the local government market share to 50-55% and provides cross selling opportunities with the Open Office business.

SCP    SHOPPING CENTRES AUSTRALASIA PROPERTY GROUP RE LIMITED

REITs – Overnight Price: $2.74

TCL    TRANSURBAN GROUP LIMITED

Infrastructure & Utilities – Overnight Price: $13.95

Jarden rates ((TCL)) as Underweight (4) –

Transurban Group has announced a second half distribution of $0.26, in line with expectations. This includes around 2.5c in capital release from the increased stake in WestConnex. Transurban has indicated it expects to receive around $2.3bn in capital releases over FY22-25.

Jarden's forecast dividend yield of 4.5% offers a 0.4% spread to the 10-year Australian government bond yield, with the historical average since 2017 sitting at 3.2%. Incorporating potential capital releases as distributions in FY23 would mean the dividend yield increases to 4.9% and offers a 0.8% spread to the 10-year Australian government bond yield.

The broker maintains an Underweight rating, noting the main downside risks are increases in interest rates, development risk at the West Gate tunnel and a possible equity raising for future acquisitions. Upside risks include a stronger-than-expected rebound in traffic volumes and higher tariff adjustments. Target is reduced to $13.20 from $13.40.

This report was published on June 20, 2022.

Target price is $13.20 Current Price is $13.95 Difference: minus $0.75 (current price is over target).
