Overnight Price: $21.19
Credit Suisse rates AGL as Outperform (1) -
First half net profit was slightly below Credit Suisse estimates. The broker finds reasons to believe the wholesale division will improve.
Energy markets remain the key driver of earnings and the feature of this result was a large price increase passed through to internal and external customers. This was partly offset by an increase in costs but the broker expects costs to improve.
Outperform maintained. Target reduced to $26 from $27.
Target price is $26.00 Current Price is $21.19 Difference: $4.81
If AGL meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 23% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $24.83, suggesting upside of 17.2% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Deutsche Bank rates AMP as Hold (3) -
AMP's result was a sharp improvement on FY16, but -4% below the broker's forecast on an underlying measure due to portfolio review and regulatory expenses.
That portfolio review is now underway, and all options will be considered including divestments. The broker estimates that were AMP to sell its "Manage for Value" divisions, 10% in earnings would be lost but growth would improve to 7% from 4%.
Hold retained, target falls to $5.20 from $5.30.
Target price is $5.20 Current Price is $5.18 Difference: $0.02
If AMP meets the Deutsche Bank target it will return approximately 0% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

AQZ ALLIANCE AVIATION SERVICES LIMITED
Transportation & Logistics
More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE
Overnight Price: $1.71
Ord Minnett rates AQZ as Buy (1) -
The company surprised Ord Minnett with its first half result, as cash flow was stronger than expected. Plans to deploy additional aircraft into active service are also happening faster than expected and this underpins forecasts over the medium term.
Virgin Australia ((VAH)) helped provide additional demand for the company's services. Buy rating maintained. Target rises to $2.30 from $1.65.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $2.30 Current Price is $1.71 Difference: $0.59

Overnight Price: $54.14
Ord Minnett rates ASX as Hold (3) -
Ord Minnett likes the defensive nature of the business, relative earnings certainty and low gearing. The company reports first half results on February 15.
Hold rating maintained. Target is raised to $58.00 from $52.52.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $58.00 Current Price is $54.14 Difference: $3.86
If ASX meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 7% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $53.29, suggesting downside of -1.6% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.
Forecast for FY18:

Household & Personal Products
More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE
Overnight Price: $11.90
Credit Suisse rates BRG as Neutral (3) -
Credit Suisse incorporates a 21% tax rate for the company's US earnings. With an estimated 55% of EBIT derived from the US the benefit appears material and the broker upgrades forecasts by 11-12% across FY19-20.
The company will report its interim result on February 15. Neutral maintained. Target rises to $12.70 from $11.25.
Target price is $12.70 Current Price is $11.90 Difference: $0.8
If BRG meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 7% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Overnight Price: $16.05
Ord Minnett rates CPU as Hold (3) -
Ord Minnett considers the stock fully valued. FY18 guidance is for management earnings to increase by around 10% and this appears defensible to the broker, perhaps even conservative.
First half results will be reported on February 14. Ord Minnett rolls forward valuation and raises the target to $15.40 from $13.50. Hold maintained.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $15.40 Current Price is $16.05 Difference: minus $0.65 (current price is over target).
If CPU meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately minus 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $14.70, suggesting downside of -8.4% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.
Forecast for FY18:
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY18 dividend of 33.70 cents and EPS of 60.91 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections? Current consensus EPS estimate is 76.4, implying annual growth of N/A. Current consensus DPS estimate is 40.9, implying a prospective dividend yield of 2.5%. Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 21.0. |
Forecast for FY19:
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY19 dividend of 38.88 cents and EPS of 79.06 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections? Current consensus EPS estimate is 85.7, implying annual growth of 12.2%. Current consensus DPS estimate is 43.4, implying a prospective dividend yield of 2.7%. Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 18.7. |
This company reports in USD. All estimates have been converted into AUD by FNArena at present FX values.
Market Sentiment: -0.1
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Overnight Price: $16.77
Morgans rates CZZ as Downgrade to Hold from Add (3) -
First half results were slightly short of Morgans expectations because of modest export growth and a poor manuka season. No FY18 guidance was provided but the company expects its honey crop will be the largest in over a decade.
Expansion in China and success with new products should underpin double-digit earnings growth in FY19 and FY20, the broker suggests. With less than 10% upside to the new target Morgans downgrades to Hold from Add. Target is raised to $18.28 from $18.05.
Target price is $18.28 Current Price is $16.77 Difference: $1.51
If CZZ meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 9% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.
Forecast for FY18:
Morgans forecasts a full year FY18 dividend of 42.00 cents and EPS of 105.00 cents. |
Forecast for FY19:
Morgans forecasts a full year FY19 dividend of 47.00 cents and EPS of 118.00 cents. |
Market Sentiment: 0.0
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
DMP DOMINO'S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED
Food, Beverages & Tobacco
More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE
Overnight Price: $48.13
Deutsche Bank rates DMP as Sell (5) -
Yum Brands released its earnings result for Pizza Hut within which the Australian division is highlighted. The numbers are a bit difficult to interpret, the broker notes, given a reporting calendar change and the acquisition of Eagle Boys within the period.
It appears to the broker, nevertheless, that sales have been broadly flat, which suggests the days of Domino's eating up Pizza Hut market share, as was the case for many years, may have reached a plateau. Sell and $36 target retained.
Target price is $36.00 Current Price is $48.13 Difference: minus $12.13 (current price is over target).
If DMP meets the Deutsche Bank target it will return approximately minus 25% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $48.10, suggesting downside of -0.1% (ex-dividends)

New Battery Elements

Overnight Price: $3.15
Citi rates GXY as Upgrade to Buy from Neutral (1) -
Citi believes the recent correction is overdone and upgrades to Buy from Neutral. Target is steady at $4.60.
While supply side responses are expected to bring lithium prices down the broker believes this is already implied in the share price.
Target price is $4.60 Current Price is $3.15 Difference: $1.45
If GXY meets the Citi target it will return approximately 46% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $3.74, suggesting upside of 18.7% (ex-dividends)

Overnight Price: $1.12
Morgans rates MHJ as Hold (3) -
The company has guided to first half EBIT of $35m, which Morgans observes is -14% below prior consensus estimates. The decline is predominantly driven by the deterioration in the US and Emma & Roe.
Morgans envisages an opportunity to enter the stock when the company provides more information about the closures. Hold maintained. Target reduced to $1.21 from $1.30.
Target price is $1.21 Current Price is $1.12 Difference: $0.09
If MHJ meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $1.43, suggesting upside of 28.0% (ex-dividends)

Overnight Price: $19.26
Ord Minnett rates MIN as Buy (1) -
First half operating earnings were ahead of Ord Minnett estimates. The broker considers the Wodgina DSO product an opportunistic profit stream, providing pre-production cash flow to help fund the downstream lithium investments.
Ahead of the update on the medium-term strategy, including the bulk ore shuttle system, the broker retains a Buy rating and $20.50 target.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $20.50 Current Price is $19.26 Difference: $1.24
If MIN meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 6% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $20.53, suggesting upside of 6.6% (ex-dividends)

MYR MYER HOLDINGS LIMITED
Household & Personal Products
More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE
Overnight Price: $0.56
Citi rates MYR as Downgrade to Sell from Neutral (5) -
First half guidance suggests to Citi that earnings have declined further, driven by a loss of sales and contraction in gross margin from elevated discounting.
The broker observes Myer is facing tough decisions regarding the appropriate strategic direction. With high operating leverage, any further deterioration could result in a breach of debt covenants.
Rating is downgraded to Sell from Neutral. Target is reduced to 50c from 68c.
Target price is $0.50 Current Price is $0.56 Difference: minus $0.06 (current price is over target).
If MYR meets the Citi target it will return approximately minus 11% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $0.47, suggesting downside of -15.8% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in July.

Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 12.4. |
Forecast for FY19:

Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 12.7. |
Market Sentiment: -0.7
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Credit Suisse rates MYR as Underperform (5) -
Credit Suisse believes there is little value for existing shareholders as the company reports a deteriorating sales trend and profit decline. Net profit guidance in the first half is $37-41m and the broker reduces forecast dividend payments to zero from the first half.
The broker suspects further deterioration in trading performance would likely mean a debt restructuring scenario is brought into play. Underperform maintained. Target reduced to $0.20 from $0.56.
Target price is $0.20 Current Price is $0.56 Difference: minus $0.36 (current price is over target).
If MYR meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately minus 64% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $0.47, suggesting downside of -15.8% (ex-dividends)

Deutsche Bank rates MYR as Downgrade to Sell from Hold (5) -
It may be tough for retailers at present but Deutsche Bank's channel checks suggest Myer is underperforming peers. There is no obvious solution to halt the decline, the balance sheet is under pressure, and too many stores means a big leasing cost.
Possible corporate action is providing support but Deutsche suggests any potential suitor would only offer to acquire the equity at a price well below where its trading, given the substantial changes that would have to be made to return to any level of viability.
Downgrade to Sell. Target falls to 45c from 65c.
Target price is $0.45 Current Price is $0.56 Difference: minus $0.11 (current price is over target).
If MYR meets the Deutsche Bank target it will return approximately minus 20% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Macquarie rates MYR as Neutral (3) -
Macquarie reduces FY18 and FY19 underlying estimates for earnings per share by -32% and -37% respectively. First half sales were down -3.6%.
The broker expects earnings to remain under pressure amid a competitive landscape, while gearing covenants are expected to be an increasing point of contention, given the earnings weakness and high fixed costs because of the leased store network.
Potential corporate activity suggests some support for the shares. Neutral maintained. Target is reduced to $0.60 from $0.66.
Target price is $0.60 Current Price is $0.56 Difference: $0.04
If MYR meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 7% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $0.47, suggesting downside of -15.8% (ex-dividends)

Morgan Stanley rates MYR as Equal-weight (3) -
First half net profit guidance of $37-41m is materially below Morgan Stanley's expectations. First half sales were down -3.6%. The company did not provide FY18 guidance, citing volatile sales, but does not expect conditions to improve in the second half.
Debt covenants now appear very relevant to the broker. Equal-weight rating retained. Target is $0.55. Industry view is Cautious.
Target price is $0.55 Current Price is $0.56 Difference: minus $0.01 (current price is over target).
If MYR meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately minus 2% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Ord Minnett rates MYR as Lighten (4) -
The first half trading update revealed sales growth fell further in the second quarter. First half net profit guidance of $37-41m would be down -35-41% on a year ago, Ord Minnett calculates.
The broker notes department store retailers are struggling, with the category being exposed to structural headwinds from a shift to experiences rather than purchase of goods amid the growth of online and price awareness. Lighten rating maintained. Target reduced to $0.50 from $0.60.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $0.50 Current Price is $0.56 Difference: minus $0.06 (current price is over target).
If MYR meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately minus 11% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Overnight Price: $4.06
Deutsche Bank rates TME as Sell (5) -
After refreshing its investment thesis on Trade Me, the broker lifts its target to NZ$4.25 from NZ$4.15. Sell retained, given competition and margin pressure continue to intensify in the core business, with Facebook gaining share.
Amazon also looms on the horizon, although probably not for another 2-3 years, the broker suggests. The nearer term impact will reflect the measures Trade Me takes to build a competitive "moat" in anticipation. The earlier than expected rollout of a shipping membership model will depress margins but provide competitive strength, the broker believes.
Current Price is $4.06. Target price not assessed.
Current consensus price target is $5.05, suggesting upside of 24.4% (ex-dividends)
