Spark New Zealand's 1H26 result provided the first signs of stabilisation in the business after 18 months of declining earnings, UBS notes, and this was particularly evident in mobile which accounts for 60% of enterprise value.

Spark reported 1H26 earnings 2% better than UBS' forecast. There were very few negative surprises in the result especially when compared to 1H25.

Key points from the conference call included signs of stabilisation in mobile, broadband gross profit 10% better than expected, and better than expected labour cost savings. UBS retains Buy and a NZ$3.50 target.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 13.97 cents and EPS of 11.35 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 15.71 cents and EPS of 14.84 cents.

Downgrade to Neutral from Overweight

-

-

Jarden downgrades Spark New Zealand to a Neutral rating with a NZ$2.27 price target following a review of earnings momentum through FY26.

Normalised earnings per share forecasts have been reduced by -11.4c for FY26 and -13.3c for FY27 due to subdued cloud margins and a step down in fixed wireless pricing.

Dividends per share are projected at NZ16.0c across the next two financial years, reflecting a reset that sits back in line with 2013 levels.

Stabilising operating earnings will likely require significant cost-out measures and a potential divestment of non-core IT businesses to reduce capital intensity, the broker suggests.

Structural connectivity factors and higher risk-free rates pose ongoing downside risks, while management execution on business simplification remains a potential positive catalyst, the report concludes.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 13.97 cents and EPS of 9.95 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 13.97 cents and EPS of 11.61 cents.
