Bell Potter sees the "massive" order book for Austal as a double-edged sword with the pick-up in work creating increased complexity for the business.

The analyst points out three potential risks including several steel shipbuilding programs all at once and in new facilities. Teething issues may evolve.

Margin pressures may emerge due to project-specific risks, and Austal is due to expand its presence in Henderson over the next 12–18 months which may result in problems in attracting talent.

Underlying earnings forecasts for FY27–FY29 are lowered due to the inclusion of MMF3/GDEB revenue. Target price falls to $4.10 from $6.30. Hold rating retained.

FORECAST
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY26 EPS of 15.80 cents.
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY27 EPS of 21.30 cents.
