Overnight Price: $4.37
Credit Suisse rates APO as Upgrade to Outperform from Neutral (1) -
FY17 results were "not great" in the broker's opinion. Of most interest was the second half sales growth of 2% in Roadside against an 11% forecast, a big miss for the company's biggest division.
Credit Suisse lowers EPS forecasts by -7-8%. With turnaround measures either complete or in train the broker expects a better performance in 2018.
The broker upgrades to Outperform from Neutral and raises the target price to $5.05 from $4.70.
Target price is $5.05 Current Price is $4.37 Difference: $0.68
If APO meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 16% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $5.02, suggesting upside of 15.0% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in December.
Forecast for FY18:

Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 14.0. |
Forecast for FY19:
Credit Suisse forecasts a full year FY19 dividend of 19.49 cents and EPS of 30.98 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections? Current consensus EPS estimate is 34.6, implying annual growth of 10.5%. Current consensus DPS estimate is 21.0, implying a prospective dividend yield of 4.8%.

Market Sentiment: 0.5
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Deutsche Bank rates APO as Buy (1) -
2017 results were broadly in line with forecasts. Deutsche Bank is impressed with the new CEO's plans to focus more on sales and promote the portfolio better.
Deutsche Bank considers management's outlook a minor re-basing of earnings and, while the 2018 outcome is highly dependent on the outdoor market, remains of the view that underlying revenue growth in mid single digits can offset the negatives.
Buy rating and $5 target retained.
Target price is $5.00 Current Price is $4.37 Difference: $0.63
If APO meets the Deutsche Bank target it will return approximately 14% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgans rates APO as Downgrade to Hold from Add (3) -
2017 results were in line with expectations. The new CEO, James Warburton, has outlined a plan to rebuild the company involving a step up in investment in personnel and technology. Morgans suggests this may provide long-term benefits but will make earnings growth almost impossible in 2018.
The broker slashes profit forecasts to reflect higher costs and higher ongoing capital expenditure. Rating is downgraded to Hold from Add. Target is reduced to $4.44 from $5.48.
Target price is $4.44 Current Price is $4.37 Difference: $0.07
If APO meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 2% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Overnight Price: $57.65
Morgans rates ASX as Reduce (5) -
First half results were in line with expectations. Costs growth remains the key weakness, with Morgans noting potential for rising capital expenditure in FY19. Expenses grew around 7% in the first half.
The broker suspects the company is slowly changing perceptions about its long-term revenue outlook but considers the stock too expensive. Reduce maintained. Target is raised $52.67 from $49.09.
Target price is $52.67 Current Price is $57.65 Difference: minus $4.98 (current price is over target).
If ASX meets the Morgans target it will return approximately minus 9% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Morgan Stanley rates BAP as Overweight (1) -
Bapcor's first half results, showing EPS growth of 37.3%, were in line with Morgan Stanley's expectations. Guidance for 30% growth in NPAT was maintained.
Like for like growth across all segments is in line or above the first half average in the first six weeks of the second half. This supports the 47/53 EBIT skew to the broker's second half forecasts.
Overweight rating retained. Target is $7.00. Industry view: In-line.
Target price is $7.00 Current Price is $5.57 Difference: $1.43

First half results were in line with expectations. Morgans considers the company well-placed to optimise its business units. Net profit guidance of 30% growth was reiterated.
The broker believes this is readily achievable. Add rating maintained. Target rises to $6.46 from $6.45.
Target price is $6.46 Current Price is $5.57 Difference: $0.89

UBS rates BAP as Buy (1) -
First half results were softer than expected. Guidance for 30% growth in net profit was reiterated. Given the company's track record UBS considers the near-term earnings risk is low.
The broker remains of the view that the stock has many levers for growth that are not priced in. Buy rating maintained. Target reduced to $6.40 from $6.45.
Target price is $6.40 Current Price is $5.57 Difference: $0.83
If BAP meets the UBS target it will return approximately 15% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Overnight Price: $29.77
Citi rates BHP as Downgrade to Neutral from Buy (3) -
First half results were weaker than expected. Net debt was higher than expected. Citi expects net debt to fall by the end of FY18, which means capital management could be on the cards at that result.
Productivity gains were also a challenge because of a major shut down at Olympic Dam but were made worse by Queensland metallurgical coal issues, the broker observes. Citi downgrades to Neutral from Buy. Target is $32.
Target price is $32.00 Current Price is $29.77 Difference: $2.23
If BHP meets the Citi target it will return approximately 7% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $32.70, suggesting upside of 9.8% (ex-dividends)

Deutsche Bank rates BHP as Downgrade to Hold from Buy (3) -

The company's targets imply no buyback in August, in the broker's view, unless US onshore assets are sold.
Rating is downgraded to Hold from Buy. Target is reduced to $31.50 from $34.50.
Target price is $31.50 Current Price is $29.77 Difference: $1.73

Macquarie rates BHP as Outperform (1) -
BHP's result was largely in line with the broker, leaving the 55c dividend the major positive surprise. With debt now inside the company's target range, the broker expects more returns to shareholders ahead.
One area of weakness was cost performance, with operational issues at a number of sites impacting on previous productivity gains. Despite the drag of a stronger A$, the broker still sees capital management potential as the feature, noting the sale of the shale assets would add even more to the kitty.
Outperform retained. Target falls to $36.40 from $37.60.
Target price is $36.40 Current Price is $29.77 Difference: $6.63
If BHP meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 22% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgans rates BHP as Add (1) -
First half earnings were slightly behind expectations. Morgans was impressed with the free cash flow, which fulfilled its forecasts for a US55c interim dividend.
The company has reiterated a preference for small, low-risk capacity-focussed investments. The data room for its US onshore oil & gas assets will be open at the end of March.
Morgans maintains an Add rating and raises the target to $32.92 from $31.69.

Ord Minnett rates BHP as Hold (3) -
First half operating earnings were below expectations. Ord Minnett is most concerned about the rate of cost inflation, which has pressured near-term earnings forecasts. The broker suggests the company's medium-term cost targets may be a stretch.
Ord Minnett maintains a relative preference for BHP over Rio Tinto ((RIO)) based on the potential changes from the new chairman and upcoming sale of US onshore assets, but suggests the stock screens at fair value. Hold rating maintained. Target is reduced to $30 from $31.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $30.00 Current Price is $29.77 Difference: $0.23
If BHP meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $32.70, suggesting upside of 9.8% (ex-dividends)

UBS rates BHP as Buy (1) -
First half results were slightly below expectations. UBS observes this was largely because of one-off events, which were flagged but not appreciated in size, such as smelter maintenance, a fire at WA iron ore and write-offs at Escondida.
As with all miners, the company's ability to return cash to shareholders is a function of strong commodity prices. UBS maintains a Buy rating on the back of the company having the potential to generate more than US$7bn in cash flow in the second half at spot prices.
Target is raised to $33.50 from $31.50.
Target price is $33.50 Current Price is $29.77 Difference: $3.73
If BHP meets the UBS target it will return approximately 13% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Ord Minnett rates CTD as Upgrade to Buy from Accumulate (1) -
The interim report was carried by a large increase in EBITDA margins, explains Ord Minnett. The broker sees yet more evidence of the strength on top of the simplicity of Corporate Travel's business model.
The European operations revealed themselves as the star performer for the period, in Ord Minnett's view. The Asian business was heavily impacted by lower airfares but management expects to achieve double digit EBITDA growth in 2H18 vs pcp.
Estimates were lifted. Price target moves to $24.36 from $21.98. Rating upgraded to Buy from Accumulate with the analysts lauding "the strength of the business model".

First half underlying cash NPAT was slightly ahead of the broker's forecasts, excluding $2.5m restructuring costs. The interim dividend of 3.85c was flat on the pcp.
A better than expected Certegy result and 2H growth outlook was a positive for Credit Suisse, and should this be sustainable the broker sees scope for a rerate. The broker has made modest positive EPS revisions.

Overnight Price: $3.16
Macquarie rates GOZ as Underperform (5) -
Growthpoint's funds from operations came in slightly ahead of the broker. Operationally the result was "average", the broker suggests, given declining occupancy in industrial and negative growth in both industrial and office.
Recently upgraded FY guidance was reaffirmed on the suggestion the earnings decline is temporary. The REIT offers an attractive yield, albeit not fully cash flow covered, but the sticking point for the broker is the 18% Industria REIT ((IDR)) stake, and the capital raising that would be required if 100% is targeted.
Underperform retained. Target falls to $3.32 from $3.35.

UBS rates GOZ as Sell (5) -
First half results were in line with expectations. Guidance is maintained. UBS observes, going forward, the distribution will not be covered by free cash flow.

Citi rates GXL as Neutral (3) -
The company has reiterated guidance for FY18 and net profit to be in line with consensus expectations of $45.3m. Normalising for effective tax rates and an unexpected release from an onerous lease provision, Citi estimates FY18 net profit would be $3m lower.
The broker continues to find merit in the integrated veterinary/retail model but believes the short term outlook is challenged because of margin compression, strategic uncertainty and the pending expansion of Amazon's pet range. Neutral maintained. Target raised to $5.75 from $5.70.
Target price is $5.75 Current Price is $6.09 Difference: minus $0.34 (current price is over target).

Macquarie rates GXL as Neutral (3) -
Greencross' result appears to be largely in line with the broker's forecast, with revenues led by Aust vet growth alongside "commendable" performances by Aust retail and NZ.
The sector is enjoying favourable tailwinds, the broker suggests, and the company's co-location model offers long term upside, but margin pressure in the near term. Online competition will likely force investment in price. On the risk/reward balance, the broker sees the stock as fairly valued.
Neutral retained, target rises to $6.30 from $6.20.

UBS rates GXL as Neutral (3) -
First half results were in line with recent guidance. UBS observes the benefits of the in-store veterinary clinic strategy are gradually being realised, yet industry feedback suggests that aggressive price competition from the online channel is having a material impact on customer expectations.

Citi rates IOF as Buy (1) -
First half results were ahead of forecasts. Citi questions why the company is so non-committal on the buyback given other options are not necessarily that attractive.
The broker believes the company should consider divesting assets at, or above, base valuation with proceeds used for buying back stock below base valuation, so the lack of certainty surrounding the buyback was disappointing. Buy rating maintained. Target is reduced to $4.96 from $5.16.
Target price is $4.96 Current Price is $4.24 Difference: $0.72
If IOF meets the Citi target it will return approximately 17% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

FY18 guidance for 30.3c FFO was maintained. DPS guidance of 20.3c for FY18 has also been maintained. The broker notes the FFO guidance implies a weaker second half.

Macquarie rates IOF as Outperform (1) -
Investa Office's funds from operations came in slightly above the broker's forecast, with most operational metrics improving in line with an improving office market. Recently upgraded FY guidance was reaffirmed.
Investa's yield and distribution growth seem weak in the sector, the broker notes, but at a significant discount to net tangible asset valuation, the solid balance sheet provides scope for a buyback and/or M&A/new developments, suggesting upside risk to earnings and distributions.

2017 results were slightly ahead of expectations. Morgans was disappointed with the 2018 guidance.

Macquarie rates MND as Outperform (1) -
Monadelphous' underlying profit came in -3% below the broker. Revenues beat margins but were impacted by competition and diversification into infrastructure and maintenance. The broker had expected strong revenues but admits over-optimism on margins, but believes margins may be close to the bottom.
Diversification notwithstanding, management highlighted upcoming opportunities in iron ore, copper and lithium, as well as opportunities at Oyu Tolgoi and Olympic Dam. Contract wins are key, the broker notes, to offsetting the end of the Ichthys contract.
M&A potential supports the broker's Outperform rating. Target falls to $19.18 from $19.45.

Ord Minnett believes while reported interim financials were merely in-line with its own forecasts, Monadelphous beat market consensus by some 8%. The interim dividend of 30c was well above all expectations.

Macquarie rates NST as Neutral (3) -
Northern Star posted an in-line result along with a better than expected dividend, thanks to a slight beat on cash flow. Initial drilling results from Zodiac suggests a potential game-changer, the broker highlights, but not for some time.
In the interim, exploration success is a key catalyst and Jundee looks set to deliver exciting results, but on current production forecasts the stock looks well valued. Neutral and $6.10 target retained.

Ord Minnett rates NST as Hold (3) -
The interim performance was in-line with expectations, with a slightly lower dividend than was forecast by Ord Minnett. As the company also released a significant exploration update, the analysts believe this highlights the "world-class nature" of the Jundee and Kalgoorlie geological structures.
Equally important, Ord Minnett points out the capital barrier to bring the additional ounces into production, at some stage, should be low. Ord Minnett remains confident yet another reserve upgrade is just around the corner.
Hold rating retained, while the price target lifts to $5.80 from $5.40.

Credit Suisse rates OSH as Neutral (3) -
FY17 results were in line with Credit Suisse estimates. Dividend of 9.5c was a little higher than the broker expected.
FY18 capex guidance of $475-$575m was above the broker's estimate, although this should be expected given exploration timing etc. The company is expanding PNG to three trains, with costs seemingly the same for three trains versus two.

Deutsche Bank rates OSH as Buy (1) -
It is Deutsche Bank's view that the key surprise from Oil Search's 2017 report was the announcement the LNG expansion now comprises three trains, an upgrade from a two train expansion previously.
While not without risks, the analysts see a "compelling" case. The actual result was a mild beat on a combination of higher LNG/oil prices throughout the year and lower than expected financing costs.
Price target lifts to $8.85 from $8.30. Buy rating retained.
Target price is $8.85 Current Price is $7.56 Difference: $1.29

Macquarie rates OSH as Outperform (1) -
Oil Search reported in line with the broker and consensus. The surprise was the 5.5c dividend, at the upper end of the company's preferred payout range. Management announced PNG LNG will now likely be expanded by three smaller trains.
Oil Search remains the broker's preference in the space, with several potential upside catalysts expected in 2018, including Alaska drilling results, further updates on PNG expansion and a target for front end engineering and design (FEED). Outperform retained.
Target falls to $8.20 from $8.40.

Morgan Stanley rates OSH as Equal-weight (3) -
FY17 results were in line with the broker's estimates, although Capex was slightly higher. Capex guidance for 2018 was higher, at US$475-575m, reflecting further exploration and appraisal activity.
Oil Search has announced three trains will be required for expansion. One for the foundation project and two for the Papua LNG. The three will produce 8mtpa, split evenly across the trains. This removes the challenge of mixing different specification gas.
Morgan Stanley awaits further clarity on expansion plans and retains Equal-weight rating and In-Line sector view. Target is $7.75.

First half results were in line with estimates. The company has revealed some more detail regarding the PNG expansion agreed by the joint-venture partners. Three trains are envisaged for a combined 8mtpa.
Morgans is surprised that the three trains, two at Elk-Antelope and a third at PNG LNG, are smaller in scale than the existing two at PNG LNG. Add rating maintained. Target is reduced to $10.27 from $10.46.

Ord Minnett rates OSH as Accumulate (2) -
The company's FY17 results were better than Ord Minnett expected. A US5.5c final dividend was declared, bringing the full year dividend to US9.5c.
The result provided some indication of an accelaration in activity in the PNG LNG expansion project. The company had guided to higher capex in 2018, with the JV partners now aligned for a concept to be presented to the PNG government for approval.
Accumulate rating retained and target lowered to $8.05 from $8.30.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.

Macquarie rates SFR as Neutral (3) -
Sandfire's earnings result solidly beat the broker. Cash flow was in line, but the dividend came up short. The company has increased its stake in the Black Butte copper project in Montana.
The ramp-up of Monty should underpin copper production growth in the near term, the broker notes, but the key is a life extension at DeGrussa given production is declining. Neutral retained, target falls to $7.50 from $7.60.

Morgans rates SFR as Hold (3) -
First half results were better than expected. Morgans is impressed by the cash accumulation but suggests the stock's appeal is becoming increasingly reliant upon exploration around DeGrussa, development success at Black Butte and/or external M&A.
These concepts suit investors with higher risk tolerance, in the broker's opinion. Hold rating maintained. Target rises to $6.80 from $6.67.
Target price is $6.80 Current Price is $7.17 Difference: minus $0.37 (current price is over target).

Ord Minnett rates SFR as Hold (3) -
The interim performance turned out significantly better than what Ord Minnett had penciled in, with the analysts blaming (so to speak) higher revenue as a result of provisional pricing gains. The 8c dividend payout, however, fell well short of the 11c expected.
Ord Minnett has now incorporated a higher copper price in its modeling and this pushes up the valuation, and thus the price target to $7.60 from $7. Hold rating retained. Forecasts have received a boost.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $7.60 Current Price is $7.17 Difference: $0.43

Overnight Price: $7.30
Citi rates SUL as Buy (1) -
First half results were below expectations, because of softer gross margins in sports and leisure and higher cost of sales across all divisions.
While questioning the strategic rationale of persevering in leisure after several mis-steps, Citi notes a significant buffer post the market reaction to the results.
The broker does not consider the Macpac acquisition an optimal use of shareholder capital, and likely dilutive to earnings per share, but there is a significant amount of downside already factored into leisure. Buy rating maintained. Target is reduced to $8.80 from $9.50.
Target price is $8.80 Current Price is $7.30 Difference: $1.5

Credit Suisse rates SUL as Upgrade to Neutral from Underperform (3) -
The company's first half results were underwhelming for the broker. With operating costs increasing and a number competitive challenges impacting gross margins, the medium term profit outlook looks decidedly poor to Credit Suisse.
The integration of Amart was completed with mixed results and there was no mention of the previously targeted $15m synergy in the update.
The company is guiding to broadly flat EBIT margin in FY18 which the broker views as "challenging".
Rating upgraded to Neutral from Underperform and target falls to $7.07 from $7.68.
Target price is $7.07 Current Price is $7.30 Difference: minus $0.23 (current price is over target).

Deutsche Bank rates SUL as Downgrade to Hold from Buy (3) -
First half earnings were below expectations. Deutsche Bank is surprised by the acquisition of Macpac, given the problems the company has had with the category.
The broker would have preferred to see the focus on internal initiatives, rather than a risky acquisition. Rating is downgraded to Hold from Buy. Target is reduced to $9.50 from $11.00.
Target price is $9.50 Current Price is $7.30 Difference: $2.2

Macquarie rates SUL as Outperform (1) -
Super Retail's revenues came in marginally weaker but the key area of concern for the broker was a softer margin performance due to a variety of factors, including investment in auto store experience and omni-channel capabilities, sport impacted by the Amart transformation and higher staff costs.
The market was clearly surprised by the announced acquisition of outdoor business Macpac, given the long battle to turn around Rays, however the broker sees the deal as logical and offering earnings accretion.
The stock sell-off sees value emerge, the broker suggests. Outperform retained. Target falls to $9.20 from $9.70.
Target price is $9.20 Current Price is $7.30 Difference: $1.9

Morgan Stanley rates SUL as Downgrade to Equal-weight from Overweight (3) -
First half earnings were disappointing to the broker. Morgan Stanley believes the company's capital allocation has been poor in recent years, and the Macpac acquisition is the catalyst for a downgrade to Equal-weight from Overweight.
The broker believes the company should be allocating capital to its stronger divisions, especially Auto, where it has a proven track record and a strong franchise. Retailers moving into brand ownership are rarely successful in the broker's view.
Morgan Stanley has lowered FY18 to FY20 EPS forecasts by -10-20%. Target reduced to $7 from $10.00. Industry View: Cautious.
Target price is $7.00 Current Price is $7.30 Difference: minus $0.3 (current price is over target).

Morgans rates SUL as Hold (3) -
First half results were well below forecasts, dragged down by lower divisional earnings margins. Morgans notes the result was overshadowed somewhat by the acquisition of Macpac.
While accretive, this acquisition raises concerns for the broker about allocating capital to the outdoor market, which has been littered with failures and is more exposed to Amazon than many other categories.
Hold rating maintained. Target is reduced to $7.64 from $9.58.

Ord Minnett rates SUL as Hold (3) -
First half net profit was below expectations. Despite a supportive backdrop, Ord Minnett observes the company faces challenges. Investment in cost of doing business is weighing on margins.
The Macpac acquisition was a surprise to the broker, with a high price and multiple being paid. The broker awaits further evidence on execution. Hold maintained. Target is reduced to $7.50 from $8.50.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.

UBS rates SUL as Buy (1) -
First half results were weaker than expected. UBS reduces FY18-20 estimates for earnings per share by -1-4% to reflect a weaker PCF result and modest downgrades to the sport division.
The company has strong brands, good cash flow but recent results have underwhelmed the broker. Buy rating maintained on a view that, at current levels, the market is taking an overly pessimistic approach. Target is reduced to $8.70 from $9.50.

Macquarie rates SWM as Neutral (3) -
Seven West's 7.2% profit increase on the previous first half, which included the Rio Olympics, was supported by cost-outs, growth in digital and a stable ad market, all of which support the reaffirmation of FY guidance, the broker notes.
A suspension of dividends makes sense, the broker suggests, preparing the balance sheet ahead of media reforms. The key driver going forward will be FTA market share stability outside of special events, and so far the start to the year has been mixed.
Neutral retained. Target falls to 65c from 75c.

Deutsche Bank rates VOC as Hold (3) -
First half results were below expectations. Deutsche Bank notes cash conversion is weak and debt levels high.
While the stock is only trading on a FY18 PE of 12x, Deutsche Bank retains a Hold rating given the balance sheet concerns and the low shareholder returns. Target is reduced to $2.35 from $2.62.
Target price is $2.35 Current Price is $2.44 Difference: minus $0.09 (current price is over target).
If VOC meets the Deutsche Bank target it will return approximately minus 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Macquarie rates VOC as Underperform (5) -
Macquarie found Vocus' report messy and disappointing. FY guidance is downgraded to reflect over-hedging of the company's energy portfolio and a shift in customer acquisition strategies.
There was little in the way of an update on the Aust-Singapore cable agreement, while the NZ process is progressing but the Aust Data Centre sale process appears to be on hold. After another downgrade, against the backdrop of balance sheet pressures, the broker finds Vocus difficult to support.
Underperform retained. Target falls to $2.50 from $3.05.
Target price is $2.50 Current Price is $2.44 Difference: $0.06
If VOC meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 2% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgans rates VOC as Hold (3) -
First half underlying earnings were ahead of forecasts. Guidance was downgraded by -10%. Morgans acknowledges there is still a lot of work for the company to do but the second half could mark a turning point.
If the company can divest the NZ business and generate free cash flow this should take the pressure off the balance sheet. However, failure to de-gear may put the company and share price under pressure, the broker contends, as net debt would be near the top end of banking covenants. Hold rating maintained. Target is $2.78.
Target price is $2.78 Current Price is $2.44 Difference: $0.34
If VOC meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 14% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Ord Minnett rates VOC as Accumulate (2) -
First half results were above Ord Minnett's estimates. However, underlying net profit was down -25% but still above the brokers forecast. No dividend was declared.
Management reiterated FY18 guidance of $1.9-2.0bn, but lowered underlying operating earnings by around -2% and underlying net profit by around -10%.
Ord Minnett maintains an Accumulate rating and $3.30 target.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $3.30 Current Price is $2.44 Difference: $0.86

UBS rates VOC as Neutral (3) -
First half free cash flow conversion fell well short of the company's targets. With the company's downgrade of -2% to FY18 earnings estimates, the metrics worsen and net debt is likely to step up, UBS observes.
The broker suggests a sale of the NZ assets is now critical. Neutral maintained. Target reduced to $2.60 from $2.80.
Target price is $2.60 Current Price is $2.44 Difference: $0.16

Morgan Stanley rates VRT as Overweight (1) -
The broker viewed the company's first half results as satisfactory, with well flagged market share losses in QLD offset by good cost control.
International operations disappointed with robust growth in Singapore offset by SIMS, which saw a constant currency EBITDA decline of -6.7%.
The broker notes the period of weakness is behind the IVF industry now and retains an Overweight rating. Target is raised to $8.00 from $7.80. Industry view is In-Line.
Target price is $8.00 Current Price is $5.54 Difference: $2.46

Morgans rates VRT as Downgrade to Hold from Add (3) -
First half results were ahead of forecasts. Upside risk, Morgans believes, involves a further stabilisation of cycle volumes to reinforce the view that the market is returning to its long-term growth rates of 2-3%. Heightened competition presents downside risk.
The broker downgrades to Hold from Add given recent share price strength. Target is raised to $5.47 from $5.46.
Target price is $5.47 Current Price is $5.54 Difference: minus $0.07 (current price is over target).
If VRT meets the Morgans target it will return approximately minus 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Citi rates WES as Sell (5) -
In an initial assessment, Citi analysts observe Coles' performance is better than expected, with cost control featuring prominently, while Bunnings outside the UK keeps momentum going.
On the negative side, Resources is marred by higher costs, while there has been no improvement for Target and Kmart which saw margin decline despite like-for-like sales growth.
All in all, Citi sees upside to consensus expectations, but also notes it sees upside for Woolworths' ((WOW)) which is yet to report. Citi has a clear preference for the latter in the sector. Target $39.30. Sell.
Target price is $39.30 Current Price is $41.79 Difference: minus $2.49 (current price is over target).

Credit Suisse rates WSA as Outperform (1) -
First half results were broadly in line with Credit Suisse. As expected there was no interim dividend.
Cash reserves of $132.5m will be built up ahead of the 2018 decision on Odysseus development, expected to cost around $200m. Project DFS has been delayed until the June quarter on scope changes to incorporate resource extension and investigate shaft haulage.
FY18 guidance remains unchanged for 21.5-22.5kt NI at cash cost of $2.40-2.65lb. Capex guidance is higher, at $29m, including $14m for mill recovery enhancement.
Outperform rating and $3.40 target maintained.
Target price is $3.40 Current Price is $3.06 Difference: $0.34
If WSA meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 11% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Deutsche Bank rates WSA as Sell (5) -
At face value, the financial result beat expectations, with the company dialing up a small profit, but Deutsche Bank analysts are less pleased by the weak cash flows. Management has stuck with prior guidance for the full year, albeit with anticipation of a weak March quarter performance.
The broker believes capital spending is about to increase significantly, under pressure from both Flying Fox and Spotted Quoll, which both require higher rates of sustaining capital to maintain production levels, explain the analysts.
On current forecasts, the analysts predict cash flows will remain low until FY22, when Odysseus comes online. Price target only gains 10c to $2.90. Sell.
Target price is $2.90 Current Price is $3.06 Difference: minus $0.16 (current price is over target).
If WSA meets the Deutsche Bank target it will return approximately minus 5% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Macquarie rates WSA as Outperform (1) -
Western Areas' earnings were weaker than expected on higher corporate costs but cash flow was in line. No dividend was declared, as expected, while FY production and cost guidance are unchanged.
Formal approval of Odysseus looks likely in the next few months, the broker notes, and the project offers robust internal rates of return. The ramp-up of the mill enhancement project at Forrestania could allow the company to bring more of the large lower-grade nickel deposits into longer term mine planning.
The broker prefers the stock in the space and retains Outperform and a $3.80 target.
Target price is $3.80 Current Price is $3.06 Difference: $0.74
If WSA meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 24% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
