Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Aug 29, 2022

Daily Market Reports | Aug 29 2022

This story features PENTANET LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: 5GG

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.

AD8    AUDINATE GROUP LIMITED

Hardware & Equipment – Overnight Price: $8.67

Canaccord Genuity rates ((AD8)) as Buy (1) –

While Audinate Group's FY22  revenue outpaced the broker's forecast and the consensus estimate by 10%, the big take out on closer examination for Cannacord Genuity was guidance that revenues could double over three years.

Management said its sales backlog and revenue run-rate support group revenue growth in the historical range of 26% to 31% subject to supply chain issues and global growth, which was above consensus forecasts.

Given management attributed the better FY22 results to “improved chip supplies allowing unmet demand in 3Q22 to be delivered, and some 1Q23 demand was delivered early”, then much of the supply-chain problems appear to be easing.

Earnings forecasts rise sharply for FY23 and FY24 and the broker forecasts a six-year compound annual growth rate of 27% – which equates to a roughly 14x greater market adoption compared to Audinate's closest rival.

Canaccord Genuity appreciates the strong balance sheet. Buy rating and $10 target price retained.

This report was published on August 23, 2022.

Target price is $10.00 Current Price is $8.67 Difference: $1.33
If AD8 meets the Canaccord Genuity target it will return approximately 15% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Furniture & Renovation – Overnight Price: $2.23

Wilsons rates ((ADH)) as Downgrade to Market Weight from Overweight (3) –

While Adairs delivered full earnings of $76.4m, in line with consensus ranges, Wilsons notes the Mocka brand disappointed, reporting a second half loss.

The broker remains positive on the Adairs brand and the longer-term potential for Mocka, but notes ongoing issues with Mocka coupled with signs of softening demand present concern. 

Wilsons notes the company guided to 14.3% revenue growth in FY23, suggesting a slowing contribution from Adairs online. 

The rating is downgraded to Market Weight from Overweight and the target price decreases to $2.30 from $4.50.

ALU    ALTIUM

Hardware & Equipment – Overnight Price: $36.49

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

The better than anticipated earnings were delivered on stronger revenues and a higher EBITDA margin, despite a one-off cost of -US$1.3m involving the relocation of staff from Ukraine.

Cash on hand of US$199m at year end and a 26c fully franked dividend were both better than forecast. Altium management provided FY23 revenue and margins as well as retaining the FY26 US$500m revenue target.

The broker's earnings forecasts are adjusted by 2% and 3% for FY23 and FY24, respectively. Bell Potter upgrades the target to $37.50 from $34.00. Buy.

COE    COOPER ENERGY LIMITED

Crude Oil – Overnight Price: $0.24

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

Cooper Energy reported FY22 results that were above Bell Potter's expectations largely due to better cost control as revenues were in line with previously announced June quarter results.

After the $244m equity raising, Cooper Energy made a $210m cash payment for OGPP.

Bell Potter notes the FY23 results will be reliant on the company making the most of the strong spot gas markets with spot price in Southern states capped at $40/GJ.

Cooper Energy's FY22 underlying earnings (EBITDA) outpaced guidance and sharply outpaced Canaccord Genuity's estimate, thanks to $33m free cash-flow generation, but FY23 guidance disappointed.

Cooper Energy's guidance has traditionally been conservative so the broker downgrades its forecasts given the number of moving parts, while still sitting above guidance.

FY23 earnings guidance is 28.6c per security, up 0.7%, and the distribution is 25.7c, up 4.9%. An improved pay-out ratio is likely to be supported by the reduced impact of pandemic-related assistance.

EML    EML PAYMENTS LIMITED

Business & Consumer Credit – Overnight Price: $0.90

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

EML Payments'  FY22 result broadly met consensus and Canaccord Genuity's forecasts, despite being "riddled" with adjustments and one-offs, notes the broker.

Management did not give quantitative FY22 revenue or earnings (EBITDA) guidance but expected revenue (after a range of adjustments) to be a tad shy of FY22 revenue and gross profit margins to be level with FY22.

Management also announced a strategic review, the outcome of which will be published at its November AGM, and is likely to include consolidation of the company's North American and European back office function and a $20m on-market share buyback.

The broker expects the company will announce -$450m of intangibles and suppressed free cash flow generation.

Canaccord Genuity expects EML will struggle with earnings in FY23 given its $24m extra operating expenditure and unwinding of its one-off AMF contribution ($18m).

Earnings (EBITDA) forecasts fall -35% in FY23 and -28% in FY24. Hold rating retained. Target price falls to $1.40 from $1.50.

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

EML Payments' reported FY22 earnings was noted as "complicated" by Wilsons with revenues up 21% and EBITDA of $51m was well below expectations and lower than the downgraded guidance.

The company did not provide guidance, but will provide some at the November AGM.

Wilsons consider the intrinsic value of EML Payments is higher than the share price but the opaque nature of the Central Bank of Ireland's investigations is causing investor uncertainty.

The analyst does view higher costs for longer to meet the investment in regulatory and compliance processes.

The broker considers the acquisition to be earnings accretive and in line with EQT Holdings' strategic focus and growth strategy.

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

The first guidance update by Fisher & Paykel Healthcare since March 2022 has been provided with revenue of NZ$670m and profits after tax of NZ$85-NZ$95m.

Notably, management flagged a much bigger than expected de-stocking impact since the start of 2022, with customers ordering around 10 years worth of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare's installed base in the first two years of the pandemic now being unwound.

With considerable uncertainty on revenue forecasts, Goldman Sachs opts for a conservative stance and downgrades earnings estimates by -18% and -10% for FY23 and FY24, respectively.

Goldman Sachs considers Fisher & Paykel Healthcare offers an attractiive "growth/quality" profile over the long-term, but in the near term other stocks offer more "defensive/predictable" earnings.

Decisions about inclusions in this Report are made independently of the providers of stock market research and at full discretion of the team of journalists responsible for content at FNArena.
