The company has stated that negotiations with Brookfield Property continue, with the intention of entering into a transaction. The indicative offer price has been disclosed has $2.195 a share, less any distributions.

Ord Minnett is surprised the board was willing to recommend an offer at such a discount to the audited net tangible assets.

Overnight Price: $3.79

Overnight Price: $79.00

Citi rates CBA as Sell (5) -

On Citi's early assessment, CommBank's FY19 report missed expectations by circa -2%, while final dividend and CET1 of 10.7% were both smack bang in-line.

The analysts also note weak top line, cost challenges and in-line bad debts. Irrespective, after a strong re-rating of the shares, Citi analysts suggest the route of least resistance appears to be for a weaker share price.

Sell. Target $73.25.

Target price is $73.25 Current Price is $79.00 Difference: minus $5.75 (current price is over target).

Morgan Stanley rates CBA as Underweight (5) -

On early assessment of today's FY19 release, Morgan Stanley analysts see a clear "miss" with the continuing cash profit some -7% off the mark and, on their assessment, some -4% below market consensus.

The analysts add the accompanying outlook given won't be good enough to prevent the share price from weakening post the release, in particular since a re-rating had occurred beforehand. They also note the final dividend was flat on an 80% payout (underlying).

Underweight maintained. Target is $66.50. Industry view: In-Line.

Overnight Price: $3.73

UBS rates CGC as Buy (1) -

UBS notes wholesale pricing trends for mushrooms have been soft, down more than -30% in the two months since May. While wholesale pricing is more volatile than that received by Costa Group it does suggest some risk to first half results.

Overnight Price: $2.74

Citi rates CYB as Buy (1) -

Citi analysts state they are taking a broadly neutral view post the Q3 report release. While key financials proved in-line with expectations, the analysts do note Net Interest Margin (NIM) guidance for Q4 implies a steep fall, below expectations.

Further out, the analysts do see NIM support and increased ability to lift the pay out ratio, which both are positives. Because of ongoing self-help potential, and a cheap looking valuation, the Buy rating remains in place. Target GBP2.45.

Real Estate

Overnight Price: $2.82

Macquarie rates DHG as Neutral (3) -

Property listings fell -23.3% in the June Q and -22.8% in July, leading the broker to downgrade its second half volume estimates for online real estate. Despite some positive lead indicators now appearing for the housing market, the broker is cautious about factoring in a near term recovery in listings.

This leads to lower earnings forecasts, but a reduction in cost of capital assumption due to lower rates means Domain's target rises to $2.90 from $2.7. Neutral retained.

UBS rates ORA as Buy (1) -

The company's FY19 result will be affected by significant items totalling -$56m. The charges mostly relate to a -$35m provision for additional decommissioning and environmental remediation costs at the former Petrie Mill site.

The bulk of restructuring charges will be incurred in the first half of FY20 as the cost base is aligned to the market outlook.

UBS reduces growth forecasts for FY20 across the North American and Australasian operations. More subdued activity levels, partly offset by lower AUD/USD forecasts, drives most of the revisions.

Overnight Price: $13.33

Citi rates SUN as Buy (1) -

It appears that, on early assessment, Suncorp's FY19 report slightly missed expectations. But excluding the $60m pre-tax provision, Citi analysts believe the report might actually be a little better than expectations.

Management is now also conceding its plans with Marketplace might have been too ambitious, which should be well received by investors suggest Citi analysts. The cautious outlook does not come as a surprise.

Insurance margins are one positive surprise from the FY19 result. Buy and a $14.40 target.

Ord Minnett rates SUN as Hold (3) -

On initial analysis, Ord Minnett finds today's FY19 result appears weak in general insurance on an underlying basis, but the bank result was strong due to low bad debts and increases in 2H non-interest income.

All in all, it appears net profit is better than what the broker had expected, plus there is the prospect of a special dividend, assuming shareholders grant their approval.

Hold. Target $14.40.

Morgan Stanley expects the shares will be detached from the fundamentals over the next 6-12 months and trade on the probability of outcomes in the Federal Court case of the proposed merger with Vodafone.

The broker envisages little risk to the company's FY19 guidance of $800-820m in operating earnings (EBITDA), given the strong first half.

Overnight Price: $10.23

Macquarie rates URW as Neutral (3) -

UR-Westfield's first half earnings beat the broker by 8% and FY guidance was upgraded by 2.5%. The beat was largely low quality nonetheless, the broker suggests, owing a lot to a lower cost of debt.

The broker stills sees upside in the second half but is concerned about a high level of gearing and difficult underlying conditions, thus Neutral retained. A reduction in net asset value leads to a target cut to $9.48 from $9.93.

Target price is $9.48 Current Price is $10.23 Difference: minus $0.75 (current price is over target).
If URW meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 7% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
