A2M  THE A2 MILK COMPANY LIMITED

Dairy

Overnight Price: $5.82

Citi rates A2M as Sell (5) -

With Reckitt Benckiser having divested of its China infant formula business, Citi evaluates the read-through for a2 Milk.

Were a2 Milk to be priced at the same enterpise value implied by the sales price, it would be worth $12.06 per share. However, the broker believes a2 Milk's earnings are materially different now compared to 2020, given diagou disruption and lack of local China manufacturing.

A recovery in diagou to 50% of FY20 would value a2 Milk at $6.54, but investment appeal is lower, Citi suggests, given no local production, reliance on a single product and lower market share.

Sell and $5.85 target retained.

Overnight Price: $75.60

Morgans rates ASX as Downgrade to Reduce from Hold (5) -

After the release of ASX’s May statistics, Morgans sees trading as broadly soft, with capital raisings/listings the only real bright spot. The rating falls to Reduce from Hold, due to the recent share price rise. The target price increases to $65.87 from $65.59.

The broker sees ASX’s activity growth trends in the second half as fairly lacklustre overall, ex capital raising activity. In cash equities, monthly average growth rates for volume traded and value traded are down -20% and -14%, respectively, on the pcp.

More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE

Overnight Price: $16.11

Macquarie rates CPU as Outperform (1) -

Macquarie analyses Computershare's opex/revenue growth trends and its cost-out initiatives for the last decade. This results in greater confidence regarding the achievement of ongoing cost-out targets, including synergies from the Wells Fargo Corporate Trust acquisition.

EML  EML PAYMENTS LIMITED

Business & Consumer Credit

More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE

Overnight Price: $3.29

Macquarie rates EML as Outperform (1) -

Macquarie believes the market is pricing in a more adverse Central Bank of Ireland outcome than is likely to occur, after EML Payments provided a third quarter trading update. It's believed the company is on-track to land at the top end of earnings (EBITDA) guidance.

The company remains in ongoing discussions with the Central Bank of Ireland and the outcome remains the major catalyst and overhang, according to the broker.

Assuming a reasonable outcome, the analyst feels the company remains exposed to several positive trends, as well as an encouraging pipeline. The Outperform rating is unchanged and the target falls to $3.95 from $4.

Target price is $3.95 Current Price is $3.29 Difference: $0.66
If EML meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 20% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Market Sentiment: 1.0

All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources


UBS rates EML as Buy (1) -

A strong quarter saw EML Payments deliver underlying earnings of $15.7m, with UBS guiding final underlying earnings to be in the top end of the provided $50-54m range for FY21. 

Despite this, regulatory investigations by the Central Bank of Ireland are ongoing and the impact is difficult to quantify yet, comments the broker.

The company expects to pay a one-off cost of under -$2m in legal and advisory fees during FY21, which has the potential to delay upcoming program launches. 

The Buy rating and target price of $5.30 are retained.

Target price is $5.30 Current Price is $3.29 Difference: $2.01
If EML meets the UBS target it will return approximately 61% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

HSN  HANSEN TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

IT & Support

More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE

Overnight Price: $6.35

Ord Minnett rates HSN as Buy (1) -

Ord Minnet believes the company's excellent cash flow generation, acquisition track record and sticky customer base contributed to the receipt of a non-binding, conditional takeover proposal. The bidder at $6.50/share is private equity firm BGH Capital. 

The broker suggests further takeover proposals are possible, given the current environment of low interest rates and an active private
equity market. The valuation at the current offer price is considered undemanding. Hence, the target price is raised to $7.50 from $6.

The Buy rating is maintained.

Target price is $7.50 Current Price is $6.35 Difference: $1.15
If HSN meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 18% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Macquarie prefers Nickel Mines, IGO Ltd and Western Areas for nickel production. The Lighten rating and $8.50 target for IGO Ltd are retained.

Target price is $8.50 Current Price is $7.51 Difference: $0.99

Overnight Price: $4.55

Ord Minnett rates LEP as Lighten (4) -

Ord Minnett assesses the divestment of two additional pubs (and the sale of four pubs earlier in the year) have been made at attractive prices. It's felt this highlights a resurgence of interest in the hospitality asset class.

Despite a high-quality portfolio and a secure income stream, the broker believes the group is trading at a premium to the sector. The Lighten rating and $4.30 target are maintained. 

This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.

Overnight Price: $49.47

UBS rates MFG as Neutral (3) -

Magellan Financial Group has reported funds under management of $109.9bn for May as it launched its new retirement product after a twelve-month delay. 

UBS estimates retail net outflows were around -$40m, marking a fourth consecutive month of underlying retail net outflows. The broker considers there to be elevated risk in net flows based on continued underperformance. 

The broker also considers Magellan's FuturePay retirement product as complex, with the broker's simulations suggesting the product may need to lean on Magellan's $50m capital commitment or reserve facility. 

The Neutral rating and target price of $49.50 are both retained.

Banks

Overnight Price: $26.64

Citi rates NAB as Neutral (3) -

Citi believes Austrac's investigation into money laundering at National Bank is borne more of frustration rather than a precursor to civil prosecution as was the case with peers. NAB has spent four years and -$800m in rectification but is still reporting problems.

The broker suggests Austrac will likely give NAB a hurry-up rather than impose a penalty, but this will lead to greater costs.

Neutral and $26.25 target retained.

Target price is $26.25 Current Price is $26.64 Difference: minus $0.39 (current price is over target).
If NAB meets the Citi target it will return approximately minus 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Morgan Stanley rates NAB as Equal-weight (3) -

AUSTRAC has informed the bank of "potential serious and ongoing non-compliance" with its customer identification procedures, ongoing customer due diligence. Also, non compliance with a joint anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) Program.

Morgan Stanley's forecasts do not include any civil penalty or fine. However, it's felt AUSTRAC's concerns do not seem as significant as previous concerns relating to Commonwealth Bank of Australia ((CBA)) or Westpac Bank ((WBC)).

The Equal-weight rating and $27.20 target are retained. Industry view: In-line.

Target price is $27.20 Current Price is $26.64 Difference: $0.56

Ord Minnett rates NAB as Hold (3) -

Even in the absence of civil penalties, Ord Minnett believes AUSTRAC's concerns regarding compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) rules could still have material consequences.

These include the potential for further investment in AML processes and systems that could inflate the cost base, explains the broker. Additionally, it could jeapardise targeted “lower absolute costs” over the FY23–25 period and cause significant management distraction.

The Hold rating and $27.50 target are maintained.

This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.

Overnight Price: $125.33

Ord Minnett believes management is likely to approve the Jadar lithium project in western Serbia. This is likely due to the positive ESG credentials, the strong lithium demand growth outlook and a lack of growth options across the group.

Overnight Price: $5.66

Morgans rates TRS as Add (1) -

Morgans has concerns about the group’s ability to deliver positive sales momentum for sustained periods in the long term, after FY21 revenue and earnings (EBIT) guidance was well below expectations.

Sales deficits in CBD/large shopping centre stores were the main driver of underperformance, along with higher supply chain costs, explains the broker. However, it's thought headwinds can be resolved/offset reasonably quickly via the underlying cost reduction strategy. 

The analyst lowers EPS forecasts for FY21-23 by -25%, -17% and -11%, respectively. The target price falls to $6.80 from $8.91 and the Add rating is maintained.

Ord Minnett notes the business continues to cycle an easier covid-affected period, after the company reported $2.3bn in total transaction value (TTV) in May, up 79% on May 2020.
