Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Nov 04, 2022

Daily Market Reports | Nov 04 2022

This story features AUSSIE BROADBAND LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: ABB

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.

ABB    AUSSIE BROADBAND LIMITED

Telecommunication – Overnight Price: $2.52

JP Morgan rates ((ABB)) as Overweight (1) –

Aussie Broadband provided the September quarter trading update at the AGM which showed a notable -61% miss on white label subscriber numbers which the company attributed to issues with Origin's platform, according to JP Morgan.

The broker considers Origin has miscalculated the level of competition in the NBN reseller market.

JP Morgan adjusts white label subscriber forecasts for 2030 to 200,000 from 300,000 and updates future estimates post the update.

Accordingly, EPS forecasts are lowered by -8% for FY23 and -13% for FY24.

AD8    AUDINATE GROUP LIMITED

Hardware & Equipment – Overnight Price: $8.20

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

Audinate Group's September-quarter result sharply outpaced consensus and Canaccord Genuity's forecasts and management provided positive AGM commentary, citing a record backlog of sales orders.

The broker observes the company is targeting a compound annual growth rate for revenue of 25% to 35% between FY23 and FY25, sharply increasing the scale and relevance of the business.

But supply-chain uncertainty continues, suggesting growth will be skewed to the second half.

The broker observes strong operating leverage, an increase in video momentum, and a shift in the supply mix to products with more widely available chips.

Buy rating retained, the broker believing the company to be at an inflexion point. Target price rises to $11 from $10.

This report was published on October 26, 2022.

Target price is $11.00 Current Price is $8.20 Difference: $2.8
If AD8 meets the Canaccord Genuity target it will return approximately 34% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

AGY    ARGOSY MINERALS LIMITED

New Battery Elements – Overnight Price: $0.51

Canaccord Genuity rates ((AGY)) as Initiation of coverage with a Speculative Buy (1) –

Canaccord Genuity initiates coverage of Argosy Minerals with a Speculative Buy rating and target of 85c. The company is in the advanced stages of commissioning Stage 2 of its 77.5%-owned Rincon Lithium project in Argentina.

Production is expected this year from what Canaccord Genuity describes as a relatively small resource compared to peers.

Product should achieve prices approximating spot, as no offtake agreements have been made to cover production, points out the broker. Nameplate production is expected by the end of 2023.

Stage 3 will see the company attain 90% ownership and add an incremental 10kpta of production, explains the analyst.

This report was published on October 24, 2022.

Target price is $0.85 Current Price is $0.51 Difference: $0.34
If AGY meets the Canaccord Genuity target it will return approximately 67% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in December.

Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY22 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 2.49 cents.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 20.48.

Forecast for FY23:

Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY23 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 1.42 cents.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 35.92.

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

AND    ANSARADA GROUP LIMITED

Software & Services – Overnight Price: $1.41

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

Revenue for Ansarada Group's 1Q was broadly in line with the forecasts of Canaccord Genuity and consensus and is on track to meet the former's 1H estimate.

In line with a broader M&A sector-wide slowdown, the company's deferred pipeline, while solid, implies to the analyst a modest slowing in revenue growth momentum. Management expects ongoing deal softness from subdued capital market activity.

The broker moderates its revenue and earnings forecasts and lowers its target to $2.00 from $2.50. The Buy rating is retained, and importantly, the current M&A lull is not considered a structural shift.

This report was published on October 28, 2022.

Target price is $2.00 Current Price is $1.41 Difference: $0.59
If AND meets the Canaccord Genuity target it will return approximately 42% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY23:

Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY23 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of minus 3.30 cents.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is minus 42.73.

Forecast for FY24:

Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 1.30 cents.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 108.46.

Market Sentiment: 1.0

BC8    BLACK CAT SYNDICATE LIMITED

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $0.28

Shaw and Partners rates ((BC8)) as Initiation of coverage with Buy (1) –

Shaw and Partners has initiated coverage of gold developer Black Cat Syndicate with a Buy rating and 77c target price.

The company has three projects in West Australia – Coyote, Paulsens and Kal East – "and a clear pathway to 150kozpa of gold production", says the broker.

Black Cat Syndicate bought the projects from Northern Star in June for $44.5m cash and scrip – historical mines placed on care and maintenance due to lower gold prices.

Coyote and Paulsens are considered the most exciting by the broker given low exploration of both sites.

The broker says Kal East is ready to go but given high costs, is waiting for conditions to improve. The broker expects first production could be as early as 2023.

This report was published on October 26, 2022.

Target price is $0.77 Current Price is $0.28 Difference: $0.49
If BC8 meets the Shaw and Partners target it will return approximately 175% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY23:

Shaw and Partners forecasts a full year FY23 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 3.60 cents.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 7.78.

Forecast for FY24:

Shaw and Partners forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 3.10 cents.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 9.03.

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

BRB    BREAKER RESOURCES NL

Mining – Overnight Price: $0.28

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

Breaker Resources will receive $60m in cash on November 15 for the sale of the remaining 20% holding in the Manna lithium deposit, leaving the company with cash of $82m and no debt, according to Bell Potter.

The broker views the announcement as positive and will provide Breaker Resources with sufficient capital to fund a further 12-months drilling and development at the Lake Roe site as a gold exploration company.

A Speculative Buy rating is maintained; the target is raised to $0.62 from $0.56.

This report was published on October 27, 2022.

Target price is $0.62 Current Price is $0.28 Difference: $0.345
If BRB meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately 125% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

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


Canaccord Genuity rates ((BRB)) as Speculative Buy (1) –

Breaker Resources divested its 20% stake in the Manna lithium project to Global Lithium Resources ((GL1)) for $60m.

This leaves Global Lithium Resources as the sole owner of the project, but Breaker Resources retains the precious metal rights and a 1.5% net smelter return.

The Lake Roe gold project remains Breaker Resources' primary asset according to Canaccord Genuity, and the broker expects its now stronger cash position will allow Breaker to advance the project or invest in new opportunities.

The broker finds the current stock price reflects compelling value. The Speculative Buy rating and target price of $0.30 are retained.

This report was published on October 27, 2022.

Target price is $0.30 Current Price is $0.28 Difference: $0.025
If BRB meets the Canaccord Genuity target it will return approximately 9% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

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

CDA    CODAN LIMITED

Hardware & Equipment – Overnight Price: $4.01

Canaccord Genuity rates ((CDA)) as Downgrade to Hold from Buy (3) –

Following commentary from Codan at its annual general suggesting a significant deterioration of Metal Detection sales into Africa, Canaccord Genuity sees more uncertainty around future sales in the region. 

Codan's first half net profit guidance of $25-30m suggests a -40-50% decline on the previous comparable period, and is a sizeable miss to Canaccord Genuity's expected $48m. The broker lowered its forecast -45% accordingly. 

The rating is downgraded to Hold from Buy and the target price decreases to $4.45 from $10.05.

This report was published on October 27, 2022.

Target price is $4.45 Current Price is $4.01 Difference: $0.44
If CDA meets the Canaccord Genuity target it will return approximately 11% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY23:

Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY23 dividend of 17.00 cents and EPS of 33.00 cents.

Moelis rates ((CDA)) as Buy (1) –

The target set by Moelis for Codan has fallen to $4.94 from $10.20 after 1H profit guidance was reduced to $25-30m, versus the broker's $47m forecast. Buy rating retained.

African metal sales remain "materially disrupted" according to management as Sudan's military coup has rendered gold mining regions off-limits to artisinal miners.

Metal Detection guidance is thought to imply a sales drop of -$60m compared to the previous corresponding period. Moelis attributes -$6m of this balance to Russia and the balance to Africa across not only Sudan but also other African countries.

The dealers with excess inventory (due to lost Sudanese sales) are re-diverting stock into other African regions, according to the broker, and not re-stocking as per usual seasonal patterns.

This report was published on October 27, 2022.

Target price is $4.94 Current Price is $4.01 Difference: $0.93
If CDA meets the Moelis target it will return approximately 23% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY23:

Moelis forecasts a full year FY23 dividend of 17.00 cents and EPS of 33.00 cents.
At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 4.24%.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 12.15.

At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 4.99%.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 10.55.

COL    COLES GROUP LIMITED

Food, Beverages & Tobacco – Overnight Price: $16.14

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

Goldman Sachs considers the 1Q23 sales for Coles Group of $9,891m met expectations, with supermarkets in line and liquor lower than expected.

Looking ahead, the company pointed to strengthening sales, volumes and transactions in the 1Q23 and into 2Q23 with the help of value campaigns.

However, margins are expected to remain under pressure from cost inflation with supplier price rises and the continuing flood effects.

A Sell rating and a $15 target price are retained.

This report was published on October 27, 2022.

Target price is $15.00 Current Price is $16.14 Difference: minus $1.14 (current price is over target).
If COL meets the Goldman Sachs target it will return approximately minus 7% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $17.95, suggesting upside of 12.0%(ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY23:

Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY23 dividend of 62.20 cents and EPS of 77.00 cents.

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


Jarden rates ((COL)) as Neutral (3) –

Coles Group's September-quarter sales met consensus but missed Jarden's forecast, as higher labour, construction and fuel costs took the shine off rising revenue.

The broker reports supermarkets momentum improved but believes the company still lost market share and own-brand growth was weaker than expected, as was liquor.

On both fronts, the broker appears to feel the company was robbed, considering the own-brand to represent good value and given the company grew market share in the latter.

EPS forecasts fall -1% from FY23 onwards. On the upside, the broker expects Coles will continue to build market share over the next year.

Neutral rating retained. Target price falls to $15.90 from $17.50.

This report was published on October 27, 2022.

Target price is $15.90 Current Price is $16.14 Difference: minus $0.24 (current price is over target).
If COL meets the Jarden target it will return approximately minus 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).

The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY23:

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

Clean Seas Seafood reported Q1 revenue of $16.1m, in line with Bell Potter's expectations.

The result was achieved on the back of firm pricing and in spite of a -31% fall in volumes on the previous year, which were boosted by frozen inventory sales.

Bell Potter makes no changes to the FY23 and FY24 earnings forecasts. Speculative Buy rating and 85c target are retained.

This report was published on October 25, 2022.

EBR    EBR SYSTEMS INC

Medical Equipment & Devices – Overnight Price: $0.47

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

Water moisture infiltration in the insulator component of the EBR Systems's transmitters resulted in increased battery depletion rates with up to 127 of the total 145 devices implanted potentially impacted, according to Bell Potter.

Some 75 patients are potentially impacted in the trial. The company confirmed the preliminary results will be available in the 1H23.

US$30m in funding from Runway Capital relies on the expected positive results from the Solve June 2023 study and June 2024 FDA approval

A Speculative Buy rating is maintained. The target is lowered to 70c from 90c due to the delay in commercialisation, higher R&D costs and a higher WACC from increased risk.

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

Elmo Software has agreed to K1 Investment Management's $4.85 a share bid, to be completed by February 2023, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.

The major shareholders of the company have announced they intend to vote in favour of the bid and the board says that, after weighing the company's prospectivity against execution risk, it considers the deal to be attractive.

While weather impacted first quarter performance, the broker found revenue of $23.6m a good result given its forecast for $42.4m over the first half.

Momentum appears to be building into seasonal peaks, while ongoing inbound tourism recovery should benefit second half performance.

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $0.76

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

Bell Potter lowers its target for Genetic Signatures to 90c from $1.20. This comes after an increase in the broker's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) to 12.3% from 10.8% on higher interest rates and after applying a lower multiple to FY23 forecast revenue.

Despite these valuation negatives, the broker notes 1Q results revealed a strong cash position of $32.4m as at 30 September 2022, while revenues rose by 16% quarter-on-quarter. The Speculative Hold rating is unchanged.

Recruitment was completed during the 1Q for the pivotal FDA trial with 510(k) submission targeted in the December quarter, explains Bell Potter. The outcome of the trial and regulatory clearance and reimbursement is expected to be a key growth catalyst.

IMD    IMDEX LIMITED

Mining Sector Contracting – Overnight Price: $2.16

Jarden rates ((IMD)) as Buy (1) –

Jarden reports that S&P Global Market Intelligence upgrades 2023 global exploration spending forecasts from 2022, but this is still -10% to -20% below FY21 forecasts.

Producers are forecast to be resilient, but juniors are expected to struggle, as green commodities expenditure offsets a decline in gold prospecting.

The broker believes this will have a small impact on mining services company Imdex and lowers EPS forecasts -1% for FY23; -4% for FY24; and -2% for FY25.

Jarden expects major and intermediate miners already in production are likely to absorb excess rig capacity, cushioning the company.

KGN    KOGAN.COM LIMITED

Retailing – Overnight Price: $3.37

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

Kogan.com reported a year-on-year gross sales decline of -39% in the first quarter and gross profit decline of -40%, with the company cycling lockdown comps. The result was worse than Canaccord Genuity had anticipated, but generated a positive share price reaction. 

The broker likes that Kogan continues to reduce overheads and marketing spend and lower inventories, suggesting it is "right-sizing" for a softer consumer demand. 

Canaccord Genuity assumes negligible earnings profitability in the first half, but a reversion to historic margins in the second half.

The Hold rating is retained and the target price decreases to $4.00 from $4.50.

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

Kogan.com's September-quarter sales sharply missed consensus and Jarden's forecasts as the company destocks, a process management expects to be finalised by early 2023.

Jarden believes Kogan's sales will struggle as disposable income falls and notes web traffic halved in the three weeks to October 19.

The broker believes the clearing of inventory may be aimed at derisking the business heading into Christmas. The company is also cutting costs.

While Jarden believes this all stands to reason, it says the market will need to see an end to cannibalisation of gross profits before regaining faith.

Underweight rating retained. Target price falls to $3.38 from $4.02.

This report was published on October 27, 2022.

LYC    LYNAS RARE EARTHS LIMITED

Rare Earth Minerals – Overnight Price: $8.55

JP Morgan rates ((LYC)) as Initiation of coverage with Neutral (3) –

JP Morgan initiates coverage of Lynas Rare Earths with a Neutral rating and an $8.30 target price.

The broker considers the company offers "strategic appeal" in the rare earths market ex-China with the macro tailwinds for demand as well as an alternative battery metals exposure in the electrification thematic.

However, the company will lose the Malaysian Tax Holiday post 2026, which alongside the expected decline in price assumptions will have a deleterious impact on earnings.

JP Morgan did highlight the sensitivity of the stock's valuation to changes in the NdPr Oxide price; with every US$10/kg rise in the LdPr Oxide price, the valuation rises by $1.75 per share. The current long term price assumption for NdPr Oxide is US$90/kg.

This report was published on October 26, 2022.

Target price is $8.30 Current Price is $8.55 Difference: minus $0.25 (current price is over target).
If LYC meets the JP Morgan target it will return approximately minus 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).

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

Mader Group's September-quarter revenue and earnings beat Shaw and Partners's forecasts and management upgraded guidance, all thanks to strong performances from both the domestic and international businesses.

This was despite investments. Net debt was in line and cash outpaced.

The broker says the company has found vehicles easier to source in the quarter and Mader Group has been keeping its powder dry.

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

Mirvac Group continues to expect a 2H23 skew to residential sales and expect to reach FY23 guidance of 2500 units, in spite of the company reporting a slowdown in the residential sales (354 lots versus 551 in the prior period in 2022), noted Goldman Sachs.

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

Mirvac Group's September-quarter update appears to have fallen shy of Jarden's forecasts, but management reiterated earnings and dividend guidance.

The broker notes rising interest rates and falling house prices are weighing on the sale of new residential dwellings and, while the company appears to represent value (trading at -30% to net tangible assets), not to mention poor weather, the uncertainty surrounding the market is considered unattractive.

MPL    MEDIBANK PRIVATE LIMITED

Insurance – Overnight Price: $2.90

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

Medibank Private's -18% share price slump in response to its widely published cyber attack implies strong customer attrition of roughly -5% to -10%, says Jarden.

While the broker expects more moderate attrition is likely, that, combined with higher forecast technology costs results in a -5% cut to Jarden's EPS forecasts in outer years.

On the upside, the company's debt-free balance sheet should provide confidence around any one-off costs that might arise, says the broker.

Given the company is now trading at a discount to its historical average price earnings, the broker maintains an Overweight rating. Target price falls to $3.18 from $3.40.

OZL    OZ MINERALS LIMITED

Copper – Overnight Price: $24.47

JP Morgan rates ((OZL)) as Neutral (3) –

JP Morgan considers OZ Minerals reported "soft" 3Q22 results with a miss from Prominent Hill and FY23 gold guidance reduced while the 120-130kt for copper guidance is viewed as optimistic.

Management stated they had not engaged with BHP Group ((BHP)) regarding the possible takeover.

JP Morgan assesses if BHP walks from the $25 indicative price offer, which OZ Minerals knocked back, the company's share price risks falling below $20 per share, with a $3.50/lb copper price.

But costs are up and gold production is weaker than forecast. The broker expects costs will continue to weigh on results but expects a strong December quarter.

Jarden rates ((PBH)) as Buy (1) –

PointsBet Holdings reported 1Q23 results which came in somewhat below Jarden's expectations for the "customer and revenue run-rate".

The broker noted strong US turnover, growing 40% compared to 30% growth in the 4Q22, with better financials from targeting more profitable customers. 

Racing in NSW and Victoria which was lower in this period compared to the previous period in 2021, resulted in a -3% decline in Australian turnover and -13% fall in net/win revenue.

In spite of the strategic change in marketing spend and the $94m equity funding from Susquehanna, the analyst considers there is ongoing risks to the cash burn.

At the current -$70m run rate, the broker points out the company has 6-7 quarters of cash available in funding on the balance sheet.

Overall production of 114.8koz was shy of the broker's 119.2koz forecast and all-in sustaining costs (AISC) of $1,782/oz exceeded the expected $1,541/oz.

RWC    RELIANCE WORLDWIDE CORP. LIMITED

Building Products & Services – Overnight Price: $3.09

JP Morgan rates ((RWC)) as Overweight (1) –

The 1Q23 results from Reliance Worldwide reflected a lack of visibility and the volatile nature of sales and margins according to JP Morgan.

The broker points to falling volumes in September and October and the company guided to inventory draw downs in the 2H23 which implies management anticipates further sales declines, forecast by JP Morgan at -5% in 3Q23 and -15% in Q4.

JP Morgan lowers EPS forecasts by -13% for FY23 and -13% for FY24, the dividend estimates are accordingly reduced by -11% and -5% for the corresponding periods.

The broker notes NED is now the 7th highest selling whisky across the Coles Liquor Group channel.
