The broker lifts estimates for earnings per share by 10-13% for FY18-20. If the company can deliver a re-acceleration of subscriber growth and double-digit sales growth the broker would expect a big re-rating of the stock.

Overnight Price: $8.47
Deutsche Bank rates A2M as Hold (3) -
Deutsche Bank expects a strong first half EBITDA of NZ$120m when the company reports on February 21.
To date the brand has experienced exponential growth in China but to achieve aspirations the next test, in the broker's view is whether volume can be scaled up at a materially higher price in the offline MBS channel.
Hold rating retained. Target rises to NZ$9.20 from NZ$8.10.
Current Price is $8.47. Target price not assessed.

Citi rates ASX as Neutral (3) -
Citi lifts earnings-per-share forecasts across FY18 and FY20 by 2% after ASX issued improved forecasts for issuer services, technical services and settlements. This takes the valuation to $51.60 from $50.30.
The broker lifts the target price to $56.75 from $55.30, expecting growth of 6% in FY18 and onward, noting a solid start in the second half in capital raisings, and cash and futures trading.
It also flags blockchain and listings as growth drivers in the medium term. Rating Neutral.

The broker notes management is focused on seeking out incremental growth opportunities. Underperform rating is retained. Target is raised to $54 from $51.
Target price is $54.00 Current Price is $56.66 Difference: minus $2.66 (current price is over target).
If ASX meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately minus 5% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Target price is $55.90 Current Price is $56.66 Difference: minus $0.76 (current price is over target).

Market Sentiment: -0.5
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Macquarie rates ASX as Underperform (5) -
ASX' result beat the broker thanks to better than expected revenue growth from secondary raisings and trading services. Subdued market activity in the half meant a decline in equity post-trade services revenue.
The second half will likely see a trade-off from the recent bout of market volatility, the broker suggests, with volumes up but listings down. As the stock is trading at a 30% premium to the All Industrials (ex-banks) against an historical average of 17%, the broker retains Underperform.
Target rises to $52.67 from $50.00.
Target price is $52.67 Current Price is $56.66 Difference: minus $3.99 (current price is over target).
If ASX meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 7% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 23.8. |
Forecast for FY19:
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY19 dividend of 221.00 cents and EPS of 245.00 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections?

Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 22.9. |
Market Sentiment: -0.5
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Morgan Stanley rates ASX as Equal-weight (3) -
Morgan Stanley's estimates post the first half result are largely unchanged. A lift in depreciation & amortisation estimates is broadly offset by upgrades to revenue and interest income.
Equal-weight retained. Target is $55.50. Industry view: In-Line.
Target price is $55.50 Current Price is $56.66 Difference: minus $1.16 (current price is over target).

Ord Minnett rates ASX as Hold (3) -
First half results were below forecasts. Buoyant and increasingly volatile markets suggest revenue trends should remain favourable in the near term, with upside potential in the medium term from initiatives such as distributed ledger technology.
Hold rating maintained. Target is raised to $58.50 from $58.00.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $58.50 Current Price is $56.66 Difference: $1.84
If ASX meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

UBS rates ASX as Sell (5) -
First half NPAT of $230.5m was up 5.1% on the pcp and 5% ahead of UBS estimates. First half cost growth of 6.8% is behind the FY18 guidance of 8%, implying a pick-up in the second half.
UBS has raised EPS forecasts by 3% but retains its mid-single digit growth outlook. This, together with a potential rise in capex, sees the broker retain a Sell rating. Target is raised to $53.25 from $52.90.
Target price is $53.25 Current Price is $56.66 Difference: minus $3.41 (current price is over target).
If ASX meets the UBS target it will return approximately minus 6% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Overnight Price: $13.75
Credit Suisse rates BRG as Upgrade to Outperform from Neutral (1) -
First half results were ahead of Credit Suisse estimates. The broker has reviewed its thesis and notes sales growth is accelerating and the company is successfully cycling periods of strong launches of new product.
The broker suggests management is deploying capital wisely and upgrades to Outperform from Neutral. Guidance signals softer second half growth and the broker acknowledges the company will be impacted by the transition in Germany/Austria.
Target is raised to $13.50 from $12.70.
Target price is $13.50 Current Price is $13.75 Difference: minus $0.25 (current price is over target).
If BRG meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately minus 2% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Macquarie rates BRG as Neutral (3) -
Breville's result beat the broker on better than expected revenue growth in North America and Rest of World. The revenue beat was partly offset by lower margins due to marketing and R&D.
The company is executing its strategy well, the broker suggests, but current valuation leaves little scope for disappointment. Neutral retained, target rises to $12.40 from $10.70.
Target price is $12.40 Current Price is $13.75 Difference: minus $1.35 (current price is over target).
If BRG meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 10% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Ord Minnett rates BRG as Upgrade to Buy from Hold (1) -
Normalised H1 profit fell a little short of market consensus, as well as Ord Minnett's forecast, signal the analysts. But if one excludes a one-off tax charge, it was actually a minor beat.
Ord Minnett is projecting robust growth for H2, and acceleration in FY19 on the entry into new markets and successful launch of new products. Even the prospect of increased spending on marketing and R&D cannot temper their enthusiasm.
The most attractive feature of Breville's growth, states Ord Minnett, is that it is self-funded and global. Despite a premium valuation, Ord Minnett upgrades to Buy from Hold (that's two steps into one move). Target price jumps to $15.60 from $11.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $15.60 Current Price is $13.75 Difference: $1.85
If BRG meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 13% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

UBS rates BRG as Neutral (3) -
The company reported a strong first half result with a robust top line, although marketing costs increased as the company transforms its operating model.
Breville will enter the German and Austrian market at a direct level, having ceased supplying the previous third party distributor, and the broker estimates this could cost up to $7m in FY18 but could deliver $7m EBIT by FY22.
Neutral retained and target raised to $12.75 from $11.95.
Target price is $12.75 Current Price is $13.75 Difference: minus $1 (current price is over target).
If BRG meets the UBS target it will return approximately minus 7% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Overnight Price: $3.73
Macquarie rates CLW as Underperform (5) -
Charter Halls' Long WALE REIT operating earnings met the broker's forecast and FY guidance was reaffirmed. Charter Hall is not considering a buyback at this stage.
The REIT appears attractive against net tangible asset value but its bond like characteristics mean it will not perform well in a rising rate environment, the broker notes. Underperform retained, target falls to $3.82 from $3.94.
Target price is $3.82 Current Price is $3.73 Difference: $0.09
If CLW meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 2% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $4.14, suggesting upside of 11.0% (ex-dividends)

Ord Minnett rates CLW as Accumulate (2) -
First half results were in line with guidance. The renewal of Electrolux in Adelaide removed a key lease expiry risk in 2024.
Ord Minnett asserts the recent decline in the share price raises the question of whether the trust should buy back stock, given it's trading at a -7% discount to its revised NTA, and the answer is not straightforward.
The broker retains an Accumulate rating and $4.35 target.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $4.35 Current Price is $3.73 Difference: $0.62
If CLW meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 17% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $4.14, suggesting upside of 11.0% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

UBS rates CLW as Neutral (3) -
First half results were in line with UBS estimates and 1.8% above PDS forecasts. Guidance for FY18 operating EPS remains unchanged at 26.4c, 3.9% above FY17 annualised and target pay ratio is 100% of operating earnings.
The company could debt fund an $80m acquisition while maintaining balance sheet gearing at 35% which would be 2.5% accretive to DPS, in the broker's opinion.

Evolution Mining reported 2% below Citi's earnings before interest and tax estimates.
A hefty tax bill dragged on the after-tax figures but proceeds from the Edna sale cut gearing to a cruisy 10%.
Citi expects Evolution to hit a net cash position during the first half of 2019, which maintains its 50% of net profit after tax dividend policy - yielding 3.2%-4.2%. The broker flags potential for a rise in yield.

Macquarie rates EVN as Neutral (3) -
Evolution's result beat the broker by 3% and a 3.5c dividend was much better than a 2c forecast. Lower exploration and amortisation costs were the difference while cash flow and debt met expectations.
The broker now expects an 8c full-year dividend. Strong earnings suggest the possibility of further capital management but the broker expects Evolution to focus on its balance sheet and internal projects. FY18 earnings and production guidance should easily be met.

FY18 guidance of 750-805koz at $820-870/oz remains unchanged. Net debt continues to fall and the broker sees the company net cash by late FY19, driven by the broker's "somewhat conservative" gold price forecasts.

Overnight Price: $13.36
Citi rates EVT as Upgrade to Neutral from Sell (3) -
Event Hospitality and Entertainment's first-half outpaced the broker, prompting an upward revision in the rating to Neutral from Sell, and a sharp increase in the target rice to $13.20 from $11.70.
City notes the -14% retreat in the share price since July. The hotels division performed strongly and the broker notes a reduction in costs and says that while the outlook has calmed, risks remain.
The broker applies a 10% premium to its price-earnings valuation to reflect its confidence in the new CEO's direction.

Overnight Price: $6.44
Morgan Stanley rates FBU as Overweight (1) -
The increase to the company's provision for building & interiors was substantially larger than Morgan Stanley anticipated but avoids an equity raising. The broker lowers FY18 earnings estimates to reflect the construction losses as a result of the new provision.
The broker suggests, while risks remain, the latest provision appears conservative and there is value for investors able to look through the uncertainty.
Overweight. Target is reduced to NZ$8.00 from NZ$8.50 and for the ASX listed stock to $7.41 from $7.59. Industry view is: Cautious.
Target price is $7.41 Current Price is $6.44 Difference: $0.97

Overnight Price: $7.55
Credit Suisse rates GNC as Outperform (1) -
Credit Suisse downgrades FY18 estimates on the basis of the latest guidance. The broker believes the integration of marketing and the storage & logistics divisions late in 2017, and likely implications for the logistics network, has gone largely unnoticed.
Integration is expected to lead to a reduction in network capacity and the broker argues capacity should be reduced to a level more closely matching grain export marketing requirements. A partial sell down of the interest in ports could also create opportunities.
Outperform maintained. Target raised to $9.06 from $9.02.
Target price is $9.06 Current Price is $7.55 Difference: $1.51
If GNC meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 20% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Deutsche Bank rates GNC as Buy (1) -
The company expects FY18 underlying EBITDA in the range of $240-265m. Deutsche Bank reduces estimates by -8%, to reflect a weaker outcome in storage & logistics and marketing margins.
The broker calculates the average FY18 crop and disappointing receivables are largely priced into the stock. Buy rating maintained. Target rises to $9.80 from $9.70.

Macquarie rates GNC as Neutral (3) -
Graincorp has guided to an FY18 profit of $50-70m, below the broker's prior estimate of $75m and consensus of $78m. New guidance includes the benefit of US tax cuts.
The summer crop forecast has again been downgraded due to ongoing dry and hot conditions. Seasonal conditions over the next 3-6 months will be key to FY19. But the broker does not believe the stock will trade much below its mid-cycle valuation, and earnings downside from here is limited.
Neutral retained, target falls to $7.62 from $7.88.
Target price is $7.62 Current Price is $7.55 Difference: $0.07

Morgans rates GNC as Add (1) -
The company's FY18 operating earnings guidance was weaker than expected, on lower grain export guidance. EBITDA guidance is $240-265m, which is lower than the $390.1m recorded in FY17.
The company's export competitiveness has been affected by high global grain supplies in combination with Australia's high domestic grain prices. Morgans suggests investors should look beyond FY18, given the small east coast crop and difficult export conditions.
The broker retains an Add rating and reduces the target to $8.47 from $8.51.
Target price is $8.47 Current Price is $7.55 Difference: $0.92
If GNC meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 12% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

The company has provided weaker than expected guidance for FY18 at its AGM, with EBITDA guidance now $240-265m and NPAT of $50-70m. The guidance includes an expected $18m one-off tax benefit from the US tax reforms.
The broker believes the company has lost significant share to on-farm storage and has cut long term up country grain receivals forecast from 8.5mt to 8mt and long term EBITDA forecasts by -9%.
Neutral retained. Target falls to $8.15 from $8.85.

Citi rates HSO as Neutral (3) -
Healthscope's first half fell short of the broker on most estimates but Citi upgrades the stock to Neutral from Sell, noting the sharp retreat in the share price and the likelihood of an improved performance in the second half.
The broker doubts the company's capacity to hit second-half guidance given pressure on revenue and recent underperformance.

Macquarie rates HSO as Neutral (3) -
Healthscope's result missed the broker by -9% on a weaker hospital performance. FY guidance nevertheless reiterated, with hospitals expected to be flat.
Performance at a number of sites is expected to improve in the second half but if increased volumes and a more favourable case mix don't materialise, the risk is to the downside, the broker notes. There is also a degree of uncertainty of the profitability of Northern Beaches.
The stock appears to be fair value against peers so the broker retains Neutral, preferring Ramsay Health Care ((RHC)). Target falls to $1.90 from $2.00.
Target price is $1.90 Current Price is $1.87 Difference: $0.03

Morgans rates HSO as Add (1) -
First half underlying profit was below Morgans estimates, weighed down by soft operating conditions, cost pressures and case mix in the hospitals division.
The broker believes the company will need to show strong earnings growth in hospitals for confidence to resume and a re-rating to occur and suspects this is not likely to happen until the FY18 results.
Yet, Morgans acknowledges the shares look attractive, especially on a multi-year view. Add rating maintained. Target is reduced to $2.42 from $2.44.
Target price is $2.42 Current Price is $1.87 Difference: $0.55
If HSO meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 29% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $2.01, suggesting upside of 7.7% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.
Forecast for FY18:
Morgans forecasts a full year FY18 dividend of 6.70 cents and EPS of 10.00 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections? Current consensus EPS estimate is 9.8, implying annual growth of 4.3%. Current consensus DPS estimate is 6.8, implying a prospective dividend yield of 3.6%. Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 19.1. |
Forecast for FY19:
Morgans forecasts a full year FY19 dividend of 8.20 cents and EPS of 12.00 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections?

UBS rates HSO as Buy (1) -
Healthscope's first half result was broadly in line with UBS estimates. However, EBITDA was -5% below the broker, driven by weaker than expected margins.
The company reiterated FY18 guidance of Hospital EBITDA broadly in line with FY17, which implies 9% growth in the second half. UBS has cut EPS forecasts for FY18 by -9%, FY19 by -9% and FY20 by -10% on downgrades to Hospital and NZ Pathology EBITDA.
Buy retained and target reduced to $2.50 from $2.72.
Target price is $2.50 Current Price is $1.87 Difference: $0.63

Citi rates HT1 as Neutral (3) -
HT&E's first-half result beat the broker, thanks to a strong performance from radio but Citi remains a skeptic, citing contract risk (the Sydney trains contract hasn't been renewed) and the likelihood of further tax amendments in the second-half (a $150 million tax bill risk).
Earnings per share estimates fall 15% to 20% to reflect a sharp rise in depreciation and amortisation.
Neutral rating retained. Target price eases 3% to $1.90 form $1.95 to reflect the risk-weighting applied to the tax liability.
Target price is $1.90 Current Price is $1.74 Difference: $0.16

Credit Suisse rates HT1 as Outperform (1) -
2017 results were in line with guidance. Adshel earnings will be re-based in 2018 but Credit Suisse is uncertain regarding the extent of this.
Adshel revenue and EBITDA grew 8% and 11% respectively in 2017 but Australian revenue was down in the second half because of the loss of the Yarra Trams contract.
Target is $2.20. Outperform maintained as the stock continues to look attractive on valuation grounds.

Macquarie rates HT1 as Outperform (1) -
HT&E reported in line with guidance. Improved ratings supported Radio and Adshel started well, the broker notes, with management suggesting the impact of losing the Yarra Trams contract has been slightly less than feared. Conditions in the outdoor market remain supportive.
The broker expects the real Yarra Trams impact will become evident when JCDecaux launches its full digital suite network later in the year. The broker nevertheless retains Outperform and a $2.32 target on the back of positive earnings momentum and a strong position following media reforms.
Target price is $2.32 Current Price is $1.74 Difference: $0.58

Macquarie rates IAG as Neutral (3) -
IAG has upgraded FY18 margin guidance while leaving underlying guidance unchanged. The broker believes strong dividends are being supported by elevated and unsustainable reserve releases, which suggests dividends may revert to trend over time.
The balance is support being provided by cost-outs and industry price rises. The broker retains Neutral, increasing its target to $6.55 from $6.05.
Target price is $6.55 Current Price is $7.77 Difference: minus $1.22 (current price is over target).
If IAG meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 16% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Deutsche Bank rates IPH as Hold (3) -
First half earnings declined -9% and were -21% below Deutsche Bank estimates. The disappointing result was driven by softer patent filing conditions in Australasia, currency movements and a weak contribution from acquisitions.
The company expects the Australasian business to revert back to growth trends of recent years and margins remain a key priority.
The broker retains a Hold rating, given soft earnings momentum and the risk of margin compression. Target is reduced to $4.40 from $5.30.
Target price is $4.40 Current Price is $3.96 Difference: $0.44
If IPH meets the Deutsche Bank target it will return approximately 11% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgans rates IPH as Add (1) -
First half results missed Morgans estimates on all key measures. The company expects growth rates to normalise in the second half and the broker suspects FY18 will end up being a re-basing year.
Morgans considers the decline in the share price an over-reaction and, with around 18% upside to the revised target, maintains an Add rating. Target reduced to $4.82 from $5.93.
Target price is $4.82 Current Price is $3.96 Difference: $0.86

Morgans rates MTR as Hold (3) -
First half results were materially weaker than Morgans expected. However, management is focused on ensuring the Accor Hotels takeover offer proceeds. This is expected to be completed by the June quarter.

UBS rates MTR as Neutral (3) -
First half results missed the broker's expectations, with Hawaii appearing to be the main driver of the miss. No dividend was declared as per scheme details.
The company noted it was not in a position to provide specific earnings guidance in the context of the scheme with Accor. Prior guidance for underlying FY18 EBITDA was for $107-115m.
Focus remains on the ACCC's approval decision, which Accor believes is on track. Meanwhile, the broker retains a Neutral rating and $3.96 target.
Target price is $3.96 Current Price is $3.86 Difference: $0.1

Citi rates NCM as Upgrade to Buy from Neutral (1) -
Citi analysts cannot decide whether Newcrest's interim performance was in-line or slightly below expectations, but then they highlight underlying profit came out -7% below what had been expected, and no less than -18% below market consensus.
The dividend surprised as it was fully franked. The analysts believe better operational times lay ahead, supported by a more constructive outlook for gold. Cadia and Lihir should support increased gold production to 2020.

Deutsche Bank rates ORG as Hold (3) -
First half results were better than expected, but Deutsche Bank notes the strength in the result came mainly from electricity margins and material cash back from APLNG to the partners.
Momentum is moving in the company's favour, with rising wholesale electricity and gas margins. Yet the broker emphasises that competitive action in retail markets means Origin's cost to serve must remain stable.

Macquarie rates ORG as Neutral (3) -
The broker had been advising on the Lattice sale but is now back from restriction, reinstating a Neutral rating with a $9.21 target.
Origin's result fell short due to a electricity being weak, but guidance was upgraded for Energy Markets an reiterated for APLNG. The utilities space is getting harder, the broker notes, but Origin is better placed than peers. Yet the headwinds of lower electricity prices, renewable energy certificates and excess competition will dampen performance.

First half underlying net profit was ahead of Morgan Stanley's estimates. The company has lifted energy markets FY18 operating earnings guidance by 3.7% at the mid point and reduced APLNG's distribution break-even to US$45/bbl.
Morgan Stanley believes policy risk for Australia's merchant utilities has plateaued but anticipates continued news flow around energy affordability in 2018.

Morgans rates ORG as Hold (3) -
First half earnings were below Morgans estimates. Nevertheless, the broker notes the company did succeed in demonstrating a material improvement in profitability. Positive momentum is expected to continue in the second half.
Energy markets remain the key strength for the company. There are no plans to de-merge in the short term as energy markets supply a solid earnings base to underpin rolling oil price volatility, the broker observes.
Hold retained. Target price rises to $8.52 from $7.52.

Ord Minnett rates ORG as Upgrade to Accumulate from Hold (2) -
Underlying, reported net profit fell some -13% short of what Ord Minnett analysts had penciled in. But then, the interim report also revealed better-than-expected margins in the electricity portfolio on top of higher than expected sales volumes in the company's gas portfolio.
Another negative highlight were higher-than-expected operational costs. Ord Minnett takes the positive from the fact all parts of the business are showing improvement. The analysts also note Asia-Pacific LNG, commonly referred to as APLNG, continues to ramp up to capacity and has now started distributing cash back to the JV partners.
Reducing debt in combination with a weaker share price has enticed Ord Minnett to upgrade to Accumulate from Hold. Price target remains untouched at $9.65. No dividends are expected before FY20.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.

UBS rates ORG as Upgrade to Buy from Neutral (1) -
First half results were in line with the broker's estimates. The company increased FY18 energy market EBITDA guidance to $1.78-1.85bn, driven by better performance at Eraring and increased domestic gas trading activity.
Following the recent decline in the share price UBS upgrades to Buy from Neutral as it expects lower forecast debt levels will lead to dividend reinstatement in FY19.

Citi rates S32 as Sell (5) -
South 32's first half result met the broker, save for the announcement of a US3c special dividend and a US$250 million capital management top-up.
But Citi cites a return of cost pressures to the industry, given exposure to the Alumina/aluminium price and exposure to the Rand. Guidance was weak, triggering a downgrade to forward estimates.
Sell rating retained. Target price steady at $3.50.
Target price is $3.50 Current Price is $3.35 Difference: $0.15

Credit Suisse rates S32 as Underperform (5) -
First half earnings were softer than Credit Suisse expected. The broker concedes it did not adjust enough to account for cost pressures, and the results show cost guidance has been raised and Cannington expectations downgraded.
The broker notes the balance sheet enables management to reward shareholders that are willing to take on the production and cost challenges inherent in the portfolio.
The broker is uncertain how the M&A strategy may develop over the next five years, particularly if there is a period of commodity price pressure affecting the top line. Underperform maintained. Target reduced to $3.30 from $3.50.
Target price is $3.30 Current Price is $3.35 Difference: minus $0.05 (current price is over target).

Deutsche Bank rates S32 as Sell (5) -
Underlying, the H1 performance fell a smidgen short (-1%) while also dividend plus extra fell short of what Deutsche Bank had expected. Stand out negatives are yet another production downgrade for Cannington as well as management guiding for higher costs.

Macquarie rates S32 as Downgrade to Underperform from Neutral (5) -
South32 reported in line with forecasts and announced a special dividend, but FY guidance proved a major negative, Macquarie suggests, due to increased costs. Unit costs across various operations were 10-16% higher than expected.
Currencies are rising in South32's countries of operation, adding to the pressure, and Macquarie is forecasting commodity price declines. The stock continues to look attractive at spot prices, the broker notes, but this is more than outweighed by cost and production risks.
Downgrade to Underperform. target falls to $3.10 from $3.70.
Target price is $3.10 Current Price is $3.35 Difference: minus $0.25 (current price is over target).

Morgans rates S32 as Downgrade to Reduce from Hold (5) -
First half results were softer than expected. The deteriorating economics of the company's main assets troubles Morgans. The broker is also concerned that the company is now re-thinking its entire regional operating strategy.
The company has downgraded FY18/19 production guidance for Cannington while outlining major changes to its mine plan.

Ord Minnett rates S32 as Hold (3) -
First half earnings were below expectations and another downgrade has been announced at Cannington. Ord Minnett notes, however, that the balance sheet is strong and this supports a 7.3c dividend plus a 3c special dividend, along with a US$250m increase in the buyback.
The broker believes the shares are trading around fair value and maintains a Hold rating. Target is reduced to $3.30 from $3.85.

Macquarie rates SHL as Neutral (3) -
Sonic's underlying earnings fell -3% short of the broker but FY guidance was maintained. Volume growth is improving but fee cuts are offsetting, the broker notes.
Regulatory changes in Europe/US may present acquisitive growth options and Sonic has the balance sheet capacity, the broker notes. Fee pressure nevertheless represents the key risk. Neutral retained. Target rises to $26.50 from $26.20.
Target price is $26.20 Current Price is $24.14 Difference: $2.06
If SHL meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 9% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $24.55, suggesting upside of 1.7% (ex-dividends)

Morgan Stanley rates SHL as Overweight (1) -
First half results were ahead of Morgan Stanley estimates. Earnings were characterised by solid volume growth that was clouded by US and German fee changes.
Funding risks aside, Morgan Stanley believes the market should be prepared to pay a premium for structural volume growth, strong cash generation and the flexibility on the balance sheet.
Overweight maintained. Target is reduced to $27.10 from $27.30. Industry view is In-Line.
Target price is $27.10 Current Price is $24.14 Difference: $2.96

Morgans rates SHL as Add (1) -
First half underlying profit was in line with Morgans. Profitability continues in the domestic laboratory business with strong organic revenue growth and ongoing cost management. The broker believes the impact from regulatory changes in both the US and Germany will be negligible.
The broker maintains an Add rating, envisaging the post-reporting sell-off as a buying opportunity, and raises the target to $26.04 from $25.91.
Target price is $26.04 Current Price is $24.14 Difference: $1.9
If SHL meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Ord Minnett rates SHL as Hold (3) -
First half net profit was short of expectations as margins in the pathology operations contracted. Imaging had strong top line and margin growth, reflecting a robust demand environment. The broker expects this positive momentum will continue.
Ord Minnett is concerned that the management did not let investors know that a loss of revenue, comparatively, would occur because there were fewer working days in a high fixed-cost business.
Hold maintained. Target is lowered to $23.50 from $24.50.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $23.50 Current Price is $24.14 Difference: minus $0.64 (current price is over target).
If SHL meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately minus 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Citi rates SUN as Buy (1) -
Suncorp's first-half result disappointed the broker.
Citi expresses concern about margin deterioration (0.9% shy of estimates) but reckons the chances of improvement are high given industry tailwinds and that the benefits of its Business Improvement Program are on the way.
Citi retains a Buy rating and a target price of $15.

Credit Suisse rates SUN as Upgrade to Outperform from Neutral (1) -
First half earnings were below Credit Suisse forecasts. The broker has been cautious about the stock over the recent months, fearing a major re-set of the general insurance margin. The re-set was larger than expected but this is now considered likely to be the bottom of the adjustment.
Credit Suisse has avoided buying the value appeal ahead of the re-set and earnings disappointment. Now this over, the valuation is too hard to ignore and the rating is upgraded to Outperform from Neutral. $14.50 target maintained.
Target price is $14.50 Current Price is $13.37 Difference: $1.13

Deutsche Bank rates SUN as Buy (1) -
First half results were weaker than expected, with net profit down -16%. Results were negatively affected by natural hazard costs and expenses.
Deutsche Bank finds the FY19 targets ambitious. Buy rating maintained on the back of strong top-line growth and the expectations for improved efficiency in FY19. Target is $14.50.

Macquarie rates SUN as Underperform (5) -
Higher operating costs impacted on Suncorp's result, offset by a better than expected dividend and a slightly more positive outlook for FY19, the broker notes. The company could benefit from ongoing cost savings but the broker would like to see these crystallised before becoming more positive.
Suncorp trades at a material discount to IAG ((IAG)) on two-year forward earnings but ongoing operational challenges will continue to weigh in the second half, the broker believes. Underperform retained, target rises to $12.95 from $12.80.
Target price is $12.95 Current Price is $13.37 Difference: minus $0.42 (current price is over target).
If SUN meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Morgan Stanley rates SUN as Equal-weight (3) -
Morgan Stanley observes no momentum in underlying margin improvement and suggests, therefore, executing on the business improvement program remains critical. Improving short tail margins, such as in home and motor insurance, is proving tough.
Equal-weight. Target is reduced to $13.00 from $13.20. In-Line sector view.
Target price is $13.00 Current Price is $13.37 Difference: minus $0.37 (current price is over target).

Morgans rates SUN as Upgrade to Add from Hold (1) -
First half cash net profit was below expectations. The main disappointment for Morgans was a -2% decline in underlying insurance margin. The broker downgrades FY18 estimates for earnings per share by -12%.
While acknowledging the flaws in the result, Morgans believes this is the low point. Significant reinsurance protections also support the second half. The broker envisages some value returning to the stock and upgrades to Add from Hold. Target is reduced to $14.31 from $14.46.
Target price is $14.31 Current Price is $13.37 Difference: $0.94

Ord Minnett rates SUN as Accumulate (2) -
First half results were below expectations. Ord Minnett notes trends were weak in most segments.
The broker is sceptical about the full upside from the business improvement plan but expects the rising general insurance cycle should improve trends.
The stock is considered cheap on a price/earnings basis versus peers, and there could be upside if Suncorp sells the life operations at close to embedded value, but Ord Minnett suggests brokers such as Steadfast ((SDF)) may be a better way to play the turnaround in general insurance.
Accumulate maintained. Target is reduced to $14.34 from $15.21.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $14.34 Current Price is $13.37 Difference: $0.97

First half results were below the broker's expectations, with the bulk of the miss being in Aus Insurance. Weaker underlying ITR margins also disappointed the broker.
UBS has cut FY18 EPS forecast by -12% and FY19 forecast by -2.7%.
Buy rating retained and target reduced to $14.20 from $14.85.

Overnight Price: $3.44
Citi rates TLS as Sell (5) -
Telstra's first half fell well short of the broker, core earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation down 8% compared with Citi's estimate of minus 3%.
Citi reports pressure on the mobile business and pressure on margins as average revenue per user fell. Margins fell from 42% to 40% and Citi expects more pressure.
Citi says Telstra would need to double its productivity target to maintain its dividend and doubts this is practical.
The broker cuts core earnings per share 5-15% across FY18 to FY20.
Target price falls to $3.10 from $3.15. Sell retained.

Credit Suisse rates TLS as Outperform (1) -
First half results were broadly in line with Credit Suisse. The broker forecasts mobile earnings to remain subdued in the near term but return to growth in the longer term as 5G opens up new use and revenue streams.

Macquarie rates TLS as Neutral (3) -
Telstra's first half result highlighted increasing competitive pressures, the broker suggests, only partially offset by cost cuts. Mobile revenues per user are falling, broadband subscriber growth is slowing and corporate data declines continue.
The broker does not see relief ahead, noting earnings contracted in the half for mobiles, Network Applications & Services and Global Connectivity -- all segments that were supposed to offset the NBN impact on fixed line earnings. NAS should recover, but the broker is cautious on mobiles in particular, despite further cost cuts to come.
Neutral retained, target falls to $3.55 from $3.70.
Target price is $3.55 Current Price is $3.44 Difference: $0.11

Morgans rates TLS as Add (1) -
First half results were broadly in line with Morgans, excluding the Ooyala impairment. The broker notes, despite intense competition, the mobile business is doing well and delivering increased subscriber count, albeit at lower price points.
Cost-cutting measures are seen progressing well and helping to offset NBN migration. The broker believes the NBN will, ultimately, not be charging $52 per subscriber per month, and this means that Telstra will not have as large a hole in earnings as many expect.
Morgans maintains an Add rating and raises the target to $4.12 from $4.11.
Target price is $4.12 Current Price is $3.44 Difference: $0.68
If TLS meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 20% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $3.65, suggesting upside of 6.1% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.
Forecast for FY18:
Morgans forecasts a full year FY18 dividend of 22.00 cents and EPS of 29.00 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections? Current consensus EPS estimate is 27.9, implying annual growth of -14.2%. Current consensus DPS estimate is 22.0, implying a prospective dividend yield of 6.4%. Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 12.3. |
Forecast for FY19:
Morgans forecasts a full year FY19 dividend of 22.00 cents and EPS of 32.00 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections? Current consensus EPS estimate is 29.7, implying annual growth of 6.5%. Current consensus DPS estimate is 21.9, implying a prospective dividend yield of 6.4%.

Ord Minnett rates TLS as Hold (3) -
Ord Minnett saw a rather mixed interim report, net profit underwhelmed but at least guidance for the full year was reiterated, comment the analysts. The net addition of 130,000 post-paid mobile subscribers in the half is highlighted as a pleasant surprise.
The negative standout, according to the analysts, was the steep margin decline in fixed broadband. This is the trigger behind reduced estimates for the years ahead. This, in turn, takes projected payout ratio for current dividends to above 100% by FY21.
Increasing competition in mobiles is not helping the latter either. Ord Minnett at this stage is not forecasting another cut in the dividend, but the deteriorating metrics are on the radar, nevertheless. Target price drops to $3.70 from $3.85. Hold.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $3.70 Current Price is $3.44 Difference: $0.26
If TLS meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $3.65, suggesting upside of 6.1% (ex-dividends)

UBS rates TLS as Neutral (3) -
First half results were in line with UBS estimates. Mobile EBITDA declined by -1% yoy and the broker sees the potential for the decline to accelerate in the second half and is forecasting a -6% yoy decline in 2H18.
The broker has cut long term earnings by -5-10%, with long term EPS now 22c, which factors execution on the $1.5bn productivity target.
UBS maintains a Neutral rating and reduces the target to $3.30 from $3.60.
Target price is $3.30 Current Price is $3.44 Difference: minus $0.14 (current price is over target).
If TLS meets the UBS target it will return approximately minus 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Overnight Price: $3.44
UBS rates TOX as Neutral (3) -
First half results were in line with UBS estimates. Health Services continued to exhibit strong growth, and the pipeline for infrastructure related products sets a solid platform for the next 5 years, the broker believes.
Management reaffirmed guidance of up to 4% EBITDA growth in FY18. The second half should benefit from $3m in overhead reduction. The broker increases FY18 EBITDA forecast by 2%, however, lower D&A and tax results in EPS upgrades of 7% in FY18 and 4% in both FY19 and FY20.

Morgan Stanley rates VCX as Overweight (1) -
First half results were in line with Morgan Stanley's estimates. Soft headline metrics were offset by greater evidence of a more active approach to the portfolio.
As 20% of the portfolio is either in, or about to enter, development, and there is scope for mixed use, the stock remains the broker's preferred pure-play retail exposure.
Overweight. Target is $2.90. Industry view: Cautious.
Target price is $2.90 Current Price is $2.55 Difference: $0.35

Macquarie rates WPL as Underperform (5) -
Woodside posted a small miss of the broker's forecast but only on an accounting adjustment. The announced capital raising to fund the acquisition of Exxon's 50% Scarborough stake overshadowed.
The broker notes the head of exploration has gone, Browse has been delayed again and Woodside will raise $2bn to by a dry field Exxon has owned since 1979 but couldn't make economic. The company has paid a high price for a flat to declining production outlook, the broker suggests.
The broker also notes the raising is equivalent to all the dividends paid over the last 2.5 years. Underperform retained. Target falls to $27.50 from $29.50.
Target price is $27.50 Current Price is $31.08 Difference: minus $3.58 (current price is over target).
