Daily Market Reports | Nov 21 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.

DHG DOMAIN HOLDINGS AUSTRALIA LIMITED
Real Estate - Overnight Price: $3.63
Goldman Sachs rates ((DHG)) as Neutral (3) -
Goldman Sachs reduces its price target for Domain Holdings Australia to $3.50 from $3.60 on lower FY24-FY26 earnings (EBITDA) forecasts incorporating more normalised listing volumes for Sydney and Melbourne.
A strong Q1 recovery in Sydney and Melbourne listings was offset by continued softness in broader national volumes, explains the broker.
Q2 could see a further controllable yield increase, after a 13% Q1 rise, due to a better than expected Platinum Edge uptake and a small yield contribution from new depth customers, suggest the analysts.
The Neutral rating is unchanged.

DTL DATA#3 LIMITED.
IT & Support - Overnight Price: $7.60
Goldman Sachs rates ((DTL)) as Downgrade to Neutral from Buy (3) -
While Data#3's key growth drivers including digital transformation and cyber spending remain in place, Goldman Sachs believes a lower normalised demand environment awaits, following the buoyant covid-impacted FY20-23 period.
A growing mix of services is expected to boost earnings (EBITDA) margins over the medium-to-long term.
The broker has become more conservative on margin growth across FY24-26 given the necessity for front-loaded investments into its Services franchise and management's anticipated pursuit of lower-margin deals to expand up-market.
