Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Feb 02, 2023

Daily Market Reports | Feb 02 2023

An additional news report on the recommendation, valuation, forecast and opinion changes and updates 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.

AND    ANSARADA GROUP LIMITED

Software & Services - Overnight Price: $1.38

Moelis rates ((AND)) as Upgrade to Buy from Hold (1) -

Ansarada Group provided the 1Q23 trading update with no revenue growth over the period, compared to 1H23 revenues beating Moelis' expectations.

On balance, the broker views the results in the context of the depressed M&A market with pressure on volumes to remain over the short term. 

Growth in government tenders as well as insolvency and compliance work is expected over FY23. The balance sheet with $19m cash-on-hand and the company's platform are viewed as robust enough to work through the cycle.

The rating is upgraded to a Buy from a Hold and the target is adjusted to $1.72 from $1.82

ARV    ARTEMIS RESOURCES LIMITED

Mining - Overnight Price: $0.03

Jarden rates ((ARV)) as Downgrade to Neutral from Overweight (3) -

In a review of its retirement village sector, Jarden points out that its twelve-month targets reflect upside from resolution of issues. Sentiment for the sector remains weak, and Jarden retains its underweight outlook given long-dated cash flows and high sensitivity to small assumption changes.

Compared to competitors, Artemis Resources does not have a long development track record. With the company in the early stages of repositioning its business, Jarden sees upside in it proving up execution on development.

The rating is downgraded to Neutral from Overweight and the target price increases to NZ$1.73 from NZ$1.50. 

This report was published on January 25, 2023.

Current Price is $0.03. Target price not assessed.
