Overnight Price: $12.24
Citi rates A2M as Buy (1) -
Citi analysts have been blown away, and they suggest it would not have been any different for their peers elsewhere. Clearly, operational momentum is much stronger than anticipated. Expect to see some meaty increases to consensus forecasts is the underlying thesis.
Probably of equal importance is the apparent conviction that it's still not too late for investors to join the bandwagon. Having said so, Citi analysts are also convinced current extremely favourable market dynamics will attract more competition, but when?
The settlement of the Lion case leaves the analysts perplexed. Earnings estimates have been boosted by 18-29% on the expectation of both higher sales and higher margins. Target price jumps by 58% (not a typo) to $14. Buy.
Target price is $14.00 Current Price is $12.24 Difference: $1.76
If A2M meets the Citi target it will return approximately 14% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $13.50, suggesting upside of 10.3% (ex-dividends)
Forecast for FY18:
Citi forecasts a full year FY18 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 27.21 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections? Current consensus EPS estimate is 24.9, implying annual growth of N/A. Current consensus DPS estimate is 1.9, implying a prospective dividend yield of 0.2%. Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 49.2. |
Forecast for FY19:
Citi forecasts a full year FY19 dividend of 9.22 cents and EPS of 37.54 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections? Current consensus EPS estimate is 34.8, implying annual growth of 39.8%. Current consensus DPS estimate is 9.1, implying a prospective dividend yield of 0.7%. Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 35.2. |
This company reports in NZD. All estimates have been converted into AUD by FNArena at present FX values.
Market Sentiment: 0.8
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Credit Suisse rates A2M as Upgrade to Outperform from Neutral (1) -
First half results beat expectations across the board. With significant financial capacity and a commitment to further investment in marketing, Credit Suisse expects the company to double its revenue stream in 10 years.
FY18 earnings forecasts are unchanged because of the timing of marketing expenditure but FY19 and FY20 are raised by 9% and 19% respectively. Rating is upgraded to Outperform from Neutral. Target is raised to NZ$12.75 from NZ$8.50.
Current Price is $12.24. Target price not assessed.
Current consensus price target is $13.50, suggesting upside of 10.3% (ex-dividends)

Deutsche Bank rates A2M as Upgrade to Buy from Hold (1) -
Deutsche Bank was expecting a strong result, but what A2 Milk released was still a "strong beat". Announcing a strategic agreement with Fonterra further lifted overall sentiment.
The analysts believe the agreement unlocks the global brand potential from a supply perspective, among other positives. It all results in a "material" upgrade to the broker's growth profile for the company, which pushes up the price target to NZ$14 (up 52%).
China brand momentum remains both critical and positive, suggest the analysts. Upgrade to Buy from Hold.
Current Price is $12.24. Target price not assessed.
Current consensus price target is $13.50, suggesting upside of 10.3% (ex-dividends)

Macquarie rates A2M as Outperform (1) -
A2's earnings result beat the broker by 19%, with execution described by the broker as "flawless". Both revenue and margins exceeded expectations.
The announced strategic relationship with Fonterra will help accelerate new products and markets and drive growth, the broker suggests. Blue sky is on offer in turning a2 into a truly global brand, and the company is an attractive acquisition target. Outperform retained.
Target rises to $13.00 from $8.29.
Target price is $13.00 Current Price is $12.24 Difference: $0.76
If A2M meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 6% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

UBS rates A2M as Neutral (3) -
The company once again exceeded the broker's earnings forecasts, delivering a 123% increase in EBITDA on the pcp in the first half of FY18.
The company also announced a new partnership with Fonterra for manufacture and supply, potential geographic expansion and product expansion in NZ and Asia.
While UBS long-term earnings forecasts have increased 40-50%, the recent strength in the share price means the outlook is already factored in so Neutral rating is retained. Target rises to NZ$11.70 from NZ$8.20.
Current Price is $12.24. Target price not assessed.
Current consensus price target is $13.50, suggesting upside of 10.3% (ex-dividends)

Citi rates APA as Neutral (3) -
The company's first half EBITDA result was weaker than Citi's expected. The broker considers EBITDA is a key metric for APA as a proxy for operating cashflow that drives dividend payout, and thus the share price.
First half dividend of 21cps was slightly below Citi's forecast. The company intends to raise $500m in equity to ensure its gearing does not exceed its 68% limit while it digests the capex to deliver growth projects.
Neutral ratained and target is reduced to $8.17 from $8.18.
Target price is $8.17 Current Price is $8.26 Difference: minus $0.09 (current price is over target).
If APA meets the Citi target it will return approximately minus 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $8.51, suggesting upside of 3.1% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.
Forecast for FY18:
Citi forecasts a full year FY18 dividend of 45.00 cents and EPS of 21.50 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections? Current consensus EPS estimate is 23.7, implying annual growth of 11.3%. Current consensus DPS estimate is 45.0, implying a prospective dividend yield of 5.4%. Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 34.9. |
Forecast for FY19:
Citi forecasts a full year FY19 dividend of 48.50 cents and EPS of 25.90 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections? Current consensus EPS estimate is 26.3, implying annual growth of 11.0%. Current consensus DPS estimate is 46.8, implying a prospective dividend yield of 5.7%. Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 31.4. |
Market Sentiment: 0.0
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Credit Suisse rates APA as Underperform (5) -
First half results were in line with expectations. Credit Suisse was surprised by the $500m rights issue to fund growth, given that the need to raise equity was known back in August when gearing was described as comfortable.
Underperform maintained. Target reduced to $7.45 from $7.80.
Target price is $7.45 Current Price is $8.26 Difference: minus $0.81 (current price is over target).
If APA meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately minus 10% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $8.51, suggesting upside of 3.1% (ex-dividends)

Macquarie rates APA as Neutral (3) -
APA's earnings result was roughly in line with the broker with FY guidance unchanged. The surprise was the announced $500m capital raising to fund the current growth path. APA had been running down its balance sheet, the broker notes, through the acquisition of growth opportunities and organic growth.
The raising is the catch-up. The broker makes little change to forecasts and notes as the raising is at the broker's valuation, there is no dilution. However a forecast increase for the ten-year bond rate to 4.25% from 3.25% leads to a target cut to $7.82 from $8.51. Neutral retained.
Target price is $7.82 Current Price is $8.26 Difference: minus $0.44 (current price is over target).
If APA meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 5% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $8.51, suggesting upside of 3.1% (ex-dividends)

Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 34.9. |
Forecast for FY19:
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY19 dividend of 45.60 cents and EPS of 23.90 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections? Current consensus EPS estimate is 26.3, implying annual growth of 11.0%. Current consensus DPS estimate is 46.8, implying a prospective dividend yield of 5.7%.

Morgan Stanley rates APA as Underweight (5) -
First half results were in line with estimates. The company is issuing $500m in new equity fund growth expenditure.
The company's expenditure outlook of $300-400m per annum is achievable, in Morgan Stanley's view, considering the domestic opportunities available. FY18 guidance has been reaffirmed.
Underweight. Industry view is Cautious. Price target is $8.22.
Target price is $8.22 Current Price is $8.26 Difference: minus $0.04 (current price is over target).

Ord Minnett rates APA as No Rating (-1) -
First half results were in line with estimates. The main use is the $500m capital raising to fund growth projects. Ord Minnett is restricted on research and is unable to provide a recommendation or target at this stage.

Morgan Stanley rates APE as Underweight (5) -
2017 net profit was weaker than expected because of a drop in operating earnings from automotive retailing, where EBIT was down -10.7%. Morgan Stanley expects weakness to continue.
The broker notes the market dynamics are challenging, as new sales are volatile and the industry is having to deal with lower commissions on insurance and finance sales.
Underweight rating retained. In-Line industry view. Target is $6.85.
Target price is $6.85 Current Price is $8.38 Difference: minus $1.53 (current price is over target).

Morgans rates APE as Add (1) -
2017 results were in line with forecasts. Morgans believes a further re-rating requires earnings upside versus forecasts and this is most likely to come from either a material improvement in underlying trading and margins, stronger cost optimisation and/or acquisitions.
The company is considered better placed to grow its earnings in 2018 because of its restructured base business. Add rating maintained. Target is reduced to $9.07 from $9.10.
Target price is $9.07 Current Price is $8.38 Difference: $0.69

Ord Minnett rates APE as Hold (3) -
2017 gross profit, pre-guided in January, was down -8.9% on 2016, reflecting weak trading conditions in the largest markets and the impact of regulatory changes, Ord Minnett notes.

Target price is $8.20 Current Price is $8.38 Difference: minus $0.18 (current price is over target).

Overnight Price: $19.89
Credit Suisse rates ARB as Neutral (3) -
First half results were ahead of expectations. For the first time in a while Credit Suisse increases forecasts for earnings per share following the company's results.
The broker is reluctant to take a more positive view, despite high revenue growth and attractive positioning in domestic and offshore markets, as this appears factored in to the share price.
Neutral maintained. Target rises to $18.40 from $16.55.
Target price is $18.40 Current Price is $19.89 Difference: minus $1.49 (current price is over target).

Macquarie rates ARB as Upgrade to Outperform from Neutral (1) -
Macquarie does not suggest whether ARB's "quality" result beat its forecast, but an upgrade to Outperform follows. Domestic conditions remain robust and the outlook is positive, the broker suggests.
Export markets are strengthening and the company's initiatives have improved revenue growth, which should lead to margin expansion. Greater market confidence in the improving growth outlook should prompt a re-rating, the broker believes. Target rises to $21.00 from $17.70.
Target price is $21.00 Current Price is $19.89 Difference: $1.11
If ARB meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 6% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Ord Minnett rates ARB as Lighten (4) -
First half net profit was ahead of expectations. Ord Minnett observes operating cash flow was weak because of an inventory build while the first half experienced investment in property, plant and equipment. Still, the company remains net cash.
Offshore expansion has provided meaningful growth in sales but the broker notes earnings contribution is relatively limited. Leverage through scale benefits is expected to be a feature over the medium term. Lighten maintained. Target price rises to $15.50 from $15.00.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $15.50 Current Price is $19.89 Difference: minus $4.39 (current price is over target).
If ARB meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately minus 22% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $18.19, suggesting downside of -8.6% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Deutsche Bank rates AWE as Hold (3) -
AWE's loss of -$5.3m was better than the broker's -$10.4m loss forecast, driven by greater than expected cost reductions at BassGas. Net debt of $32.3m is on track to meet Deutsche Bank's FY18 expectations.
FY18 production guidance target of 2.5-2.7mmboe has been maintained. The broker's FY18 NPAT loss estimate drops to -$16m from -$21m after incorporating the first half result.

First half results were better than UBS expected, with the underlying net loss of -$5.3m not a great as the broker's forecast -$8.2m loss.

Morgans rates BAL as Add (1) -
First half net profit was up 68% but missed forecasts, primarily because of timing. Morgans highlights the strength in operating cash flow and the company's net cash position versus the prior corresponding half.
The broker upgrades FY19 and FY20 estimates because of improvement in gross profit. Add maintained. Target is raised to $17.75 from $14.70 because of materially higher cash flow conversion.

Deutsche Bank rates CCL as Hold (3) -
Full year results were slightly better than Deutsche Bank had expected, driven mainly by improved margin and volume trends from the key Australian business in the second half.
The broker has increased 2018 estimates by around 2%, but continues to make allowance for the $40m investment flagged at the 2017 investor day. Deutsche Bank is now forcasting a -7% decline in 2018 and 2.7% CAGR over 2019-21.

Macquarie rates CCL as Outperform (1) -
Coca-Cola's result met "flat" guidance and slightly exceeded the broker. The dividend also beat. Flat is good, the broker suggests, given the declines seen in the first half.
Operational execution has improved, new product launches have proven successful and the realisation of cost savings bods well for growth, the broker suggest. On undemanding valuation, Outperform retained. Target rises to $9.26 from $9.06.

Morgan Stanley rates CCL as Underweight (5) -
Morgan Stanley believes a return to growth in Australian beverages is some way off. Indonesia/PNG earnings delivered in 2017 but without top-line improvement the broker suspects this is unsustainable. Capital management is considered unlikely.
The broker raises forecasts by 2-3%, given the stronger Indonesia/PNG earnings and lower net interest. Caution prevails as structural challenges persist and the container deposit scheme continues to take effect.
Target is $8. Underweight. Cautious industry view.
Target price is $8.00 Current Price is $8.91 Difference: minus $0.91 (current price is over target).

Morgans rates CCL as Hold (3) -
2017 results were in line with guidance and slightly higher than expectations. Morgans expects 2018 earnings to fall, given the $40m of reinvestment in Australian beverages and the adverse impact of the container deposit scheme.
This should be followed by modest growth in 2019. Hold rating maintained. Target rises to $8.68 from $8.10.
Target price is $8.68 Current Price is $8.91 Difference: minus $0.23 (current price is over target).

Ord Minnett rates CCL as Hold (3) -
2017 results were in line with guidance and ahead of Ord Minnett's forecasts. Structural issues continue in Australian beverages while the container deposit scheme adds uncertainty.
Increased innovation and execution in market, which has been below expectations in recent years, remain the key determinants of the success of the company's strategy, in the broker's opinion.
Hold rating and $8.25 target maintained.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.

UBS rates CCL as Neutral (3) -
2017 results were 2% ahead of UBS estimates, driven by a good result from Aust Beverages. Indo/PNG disappointed due to weak margins.
Key news for the broker was the announcement that TCCC will be contributing around $40m to the planned 2018 investment in Aust Beverages, in addition to the company's $40m.
UBS has increased FY18 to FY20 EPS estimates by 2-3%. Reported NPAT forecast falls -6% reflecting the $50m of one-off cash costs associated with the cost out program.

Overnight Price: $24.88
Macquarie rates CTD as Neutral (3) -
Corporate Travel's 32% earnings increase fell short of the broker but given management guided to hit the top end of the FY range the broker has made little change to forecasts. Strong margin improvement was a highlight.
The stock trades on a 30x forward PE and a 60% premium to the emerging industrials, keeping the broker on Neutral. FY19 will be the first year to feature no inorganic contribution so the broker sees a need to execute on additional M&A in FY18-19 to maintain its premium multiple.
Target rises to $24.10 from $19.40.
Target price is $24.10 Current Price is $24.88 Difference: minus $0.78 (current price is over target).

UBS rates CWY as Buy (1) -
UBS considered Cleanaway's first half result solid, underpinned by top line momentum and strong cash flow. A lack of operating leverage was feature, although this was driven by cost related to recent contract wins.
The company is confident of delivering FY18 consensus EBITDA of around $322m. UBS has raised EPS forecasts by 6% for FY18 and 5% for FY19/20. The broker highlights further upside from the Tox Free ((TOX)) acquisition should it be approved by the ACCC.

Citi rates DOW as Buy (1) -

Citi's revenue upgrades of 11% for FY18 to FY20 following the result have been largely offset by reductions to margin assumptions based on first half performance.

Macquarie rates DOW as Outperform (1) -
Downer's result came in broadly as expected despite the messiness caused by the Spotless acquisition. One-off factors had been flagged and cleanliness should improve from here, the broker suggests. Operating cash flow exceeded expectations but this was due to Downer rather than Spotless.
The broker retains Outperform and a $7.60 target, suggesting Downer offers the best relative value in the sector. New contract wins the prove the value of the Spotless tie-up, and resolution of the Royal Adelaide Hospital issue are key catalysts.

Macquarie rates FXJ as Upgrade to Outperform from Neutral (1) -
Fairfax posted a solid result, Macquarie suggests, with improved earnings from metro media a highlight in the face of structural decline. Earnings still fell, but were offset by aggressive cost cuts.
The medium term outlook is bolstered by proposed cooperation with rival News Corp ((NWS)) for printing and distribution, and an advertising partnership with Google. While Domain's earlier result indicates it is well-placed for growth, Macquarie notes.
A combination of resilience in media and Domain strength prompts an upgrade to Outperform. Target rises to 79c from 71c.

No surprises in Independence Group's result given most of the numbers were revealed with the earlier production report. All four operations made solid contributions, the broker notes.

Citi rates LLC as Buy (1) -
Citi saw a "strong" interim update, suggesting it didn't quite meet what Citi was expecting, but market consensus was a lot lower. The Construction division was negatively impacted by provisions necessary to prop up the underperforming Engineering projects, but otherwise everything is humming, or so it appears.
Citi suggests Lend Lease shares might be due a re-rating and as such the Buy rating is hereby reiterated with a price target of $19, up from $18 prior.

Macquarie rates LLC as Outperform (1) -
The broker retains its Outperform rating following the Lend Lease result. Significant uncertainty remains around ultimate losses in the construction business but this has been factored into the share price, the broker suggests.
It seems a strange time to implement a buyback but the broker notes apartment settlements are coming in. Other parts of the business are performing well. Target rises to $18.30 from $17.63.

Morgan Stanley rates LLC as Overweight (1) -
First half results were ahead of estimates, despite weakness in the construction business that was affected by the reversal of previously recognised profits as well as provisions for future losses of around $2bn in engineering projects.
Morgan Stanley believes the provisions are conservative and re-base the engineering segment and this provides a clearer picture of the company's leverage to a strengthening infrastructure backdrop.
Overweight. Target is $18.65. Industry view is Cautious.

Macquarie rates MLX as Outperform (1) -
Metals X posted an earnings loss less than the broker expected on positive provisional pricing adjustments, partially offset by hedge book losses. Increased shipments at Nifty should improve cash flow generation.

Deutsche Bank rates PGH as Buy (1) -
The company reported in-line but it is seen as a positive since it also included a resumption of organic growth. Amongst further positives, the analysts point at the Woolworth's crate washing & pooling contract apparently being ahead of expectations.

Underlying the released interim financials missed by -7% and higher costs are to blame, explain the analysts. The company's update on its Gwalia seems to have disappointed as well.

Credit Suisse rates SDF as Outperform (1) -
First half results slightly missed expectations. The result was affected by some one-off restructuring costs and timing delays. Credit Suisse accepts that the first half result makes exceeding guidance more difficult but still expects the company to achieve the middle of the range.

Macquarie rates SDF as Outperform (1) -
Steadfast's result appears to have been in line with the broker and FY earnings guidance has been raised slightly. While broker organic revenue growth did not translate into earnings growth, the Client Trading Platform supports and attractive outlook, the broker suggests.
Balance sheet capacity for further acquisitions also provides support. Outperform and $3.30 target retained.

Deutsche Bank comments the interim report was a slight beat with margins in the residential operations responsible for it. A continued positive outlook for this division, combined with a not too expensive valuation keeps the Buy rating in place.

Macquarie rates SGP as Neutral (3) -
The broker has expected Stockland to exceed funds from operations guidance. Residential delivered better than expected but retail, office and retirement all performed below expectation.
The broker is comfortable the positioning of the residential portfolio can provide for ongoing earnings growth in excess of 5%pa but the bulk of the group's capital is invested in the retail portfolio, for which the news flow remains challenging. Neutral retained.

Morgan Stanley rates SGP as Overweight (1) -
First half results were slightly below expectations because of the timing of residential settlements. Guidance is unchanged. Residential operating margins are now expected to remain around 17% out to 2020.
Comparable retail sales growth remains weak but Morgan Stanley notes there is improvement off a low base for Stockland, and this was a surprise to most investors because of the declines reported by other retail exposed A-REITs.

Ord Minnett rates SIQ as Accumulate (2) -
The 2017 had been well flagged and yet the company still managed to surprise, comment the analysts, while pointing at the strength in organic growth in Salary Packaging in particular for providing the positive surprise.
Clearly, conclude the analysts, the company has maintained good tender momentum, which bodes well for organic growth in the short to medium term. And then there's ongoing potential for margin expansion.

Overnight Price: $3.95
Ord Minnett rates SLK as Buy (1) -
The interim result missed Ord Minnett's expectation. This was caused by start up costs regarding Manly to Barangaroo and Rottnest Island services, but there was also continued disappointment from the CCWA business, while both Queensland and Norther Territory didn't live up to potential either.
The company also announced the acquisition of Kingfisher Bay Resort Group, which is seen as a positive move, with short term negative impact. The broker explains this latest move fits in well inside the group's core strategy.
The Kingfisher business includes sole ferry access to Fraser Island and two resorts which account for over 90% of commercial accommodation; it also operates 80% of day tours on the island, point out the analysts. Target price falls to $4.59 from $4.90. Buy rating retained. In particular DPS forecasts have been lowered.

Spark's result was broadly in line with the broker but highlighted some of the operational challenges faced by the business. Mobile was positive, the broker notes, but voice saw declines as customers switched to naked broadband.
The Quantum program continues to ramp up but costs provided a headwind to earnings. Improvements should flow from the program, but the broker suspects it will only alleviate earnings pressures that lie ahead in FY19. Underperform and NZ$3.50 target retained.

UBS rates SRX as Downgrade to Neutral from Buy (3) -
First half results were in line with UBS estimates. A soft top line was more than offset by sales force and R&D cost out.
As previously announced, Sirtex has entered into a binding agreement with Varian Medical Systems for the company to acquire all of Sirtex's shares for $28 cash.
UBS downgrades the stock to Neutral from Buy and moves the price target into line with the offer price of $28.00.

Citi rates STO as Neutral (3) -
Full year results were in line with Citi's estimates. 2018 guidance remains unchanged.
The broker has reduced CY19/20 NPAT estimates by -2-3% on higher depreciation. Despite management referring to "growth" several times, Citi believes the market needs more details before agreeing with Santos.
Neutral retained and target raised to $5.29 from $5.13.

Credit Suisse rates STO as Outperform (1) -
First half underlying earnings were ahead of Credit Suisse estimates. While the organic growth outlook is slowly taking shape, the broker believes the company has earned the right to capitalise on acquisition opportunities.
More value from the Cooper infrastructure also has potential upside. Outperform rating and $5.70 target maintained.

Deutsche Bank rates STO as Buy (1) -
Deutsche Bank has had a positive view on Santos for a while, and today has not changed that Buy recommendation. The analysts see the 2017 report as yet more evidence of what the company has achieved, in terms of turnaround, assisted by higher oil prices.
The broker continues to see a "compelling" growth portfolio on top of "valuation support" and wholeheartedly embraces the prospect of the return of shareholder dividends in 2019.
Underlying, it seems, Santos' report was better then expected. Though there were one-offs and forecasts hardly changed. Price target has gained 5c to $5.95.
Target price is $5.95 Current Price is $5.11 Difference: $0.84

Morgan Stanley rates STO as Overweight (1) -
2017 results were below the broker's expectations, driven primarily by hedging losses and FX.
Management stated that production capability from the Cooper Basin has increased and it remains confident on GLNG increasing. No dividend was declared, Morgan Stanley noting the board's preference for nearer-term debt reduction.
Overweight rating retained. Target is $5.48. Industry View: In Line.
Target price is $5.48 Current Price is $5.11 Difference: $0.37

Morgans rates STO as Reduce (5) -
2017 results fell short of expectations. Flat margin was a disappointing outcome for Morgans, considering the stronger oil price environment.
Morgans retains a Reduce rating, primarily based on a long-term view that GLNG will struggle to maintain a competitive cost base once development activity moves on from the heavily developed/appraised top tier. Target is lowered to $4.31 from $4.32.
Target price is $4.31 Current Price is $5.11 Difference: minus $0.8 (current price is over target).
If STO meets the Morgans target it will return approximately minus 16% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Ord Minnett rates STO as Hold (3) -
First half operating earnings were -11% below Ord Minnett forecasts. The miss was largely because of higher corporate costs.
While the outlook has improved, and the company has sustained a remarkable turnaround from generating negative free cash flow just two years ago, the broker maintains a Hold rating. Target is $5.30.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $5.30 Current Price is $5.11 Difference: $0.19
If STO meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $5.33, suggesting upside of 4.3% (ex-dividends)

UBS rates STO as Upgrade to Neutral from Sell (3) -
It was a messy affair, in UBS's assessment, with the underlying FY17 result missing expectations, both at UBS and as far as market consensus is concerned.
The positive take-away is that, after cutting costs, Santos looks to be on track to shrink net debt to below $2bn by the end of 2019. Not only is this well ahead of schedule, it also allows for the return of shareholder dividends in 2019, points out UBS.
The broker upgrades to Neutral from Sell on a weak share price, noting that the above should also allow for an increase in growth investment. Given the flat production outlook, at best, one can see the importance of it. Target remains $5.25.
Target price is $5.25 Current Price is $5.11 Difference: $0.14
If STO meets the UBS target it will return approximately 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Macquarie rates SVW as Neutral (3) -
Seven Group's earnings result beat the broker by 11% on outperformance from all divisions. A positive outlook for resources, infra and energy drives an FY guidance upgrade that appears conservative to the broker.
The broker's upgrade to Outperform in December was based on supportive conditions for WesTrac, Coates and energy and this is playing out, with Coates and Lattice yet to make FY contributions. Outperform retained.
Target rises 17% to $18.80.
Target price is $18.80 Current Price is $18.19 Difference: $0.61

Overnight Price: $6.32
Credit Suisse rates SYD as Neutral (3) -
2017 results were slightly ahead of estimates. Management raised capital expenditure forecasts for 2018-21 by around 65% and Credit Suisse suggests this may not be helpful from a short-term investment perspective.
Nevertheless, in the medium-long-term, appropriate levels of investment and a customer focus offset the risk of an adverse change to the regulatory structure. Neutral maintained. Target rises to $6.80 from $6.75.
Target price is $6.80 Current Price is $6.32 Difference: $0.48
If SYD meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Macquarie rates SYD as Downgrade to Neutral from Outperform (3) -
Sydney Airport's result met Macquarie's expectation. The 2018 remains strong, with international traffic growing at 5.3%, but of concern is an ever increasing capex budget. The broker assumes this will be recovered in the next pricing agreement.
The company continues to perform at the operational level. The broker's downgrade to Neutral reflects only a forecast increase for the ten-year bond rate to 4.25% from 3.25%. Target falls to $6.40 from $7.46.
Target price is $6.40 Current Price is $6.32 Difference: $0.08

Morgan Stanley rates SYD as Overweight (1) -
2017 outgoings were slightly larger than Morgan Stanley expected. Lower utilities costs are expected to come through in 2018 while the tax benefits in the previous year will not be repeated.
The company has brought forward around $500m in international aeronautical expenditure in view of the growth in volumes. Morgan Stanley has no medium-term concerns about the capacity for growth at Kingsford Smith Airport.
The broker retains an Overweight rating and Cautious industry view. Target is reduced to $7.07 from $7.37.

2017 earnings were ahead of forecasts. Morgans suggests guidance for 2018 distributions of 37.5c per security is likely to be conservative.

2017 earnings were ahead of forecasts. Ord Minnett is a little surprised by the reaction in the share price following the result and suggests investors may have been disappointed by the distribution guidance, or the additional $500m of capital expenditure envisaged for the latter end of 2018-21.
The broker maintains a Buy rating and $8.45 target.

UBS rates SYD as Buy (1) -
2017 results seemed to please the broker. The second half saw Sydney Airport generate growth of 9% in EBITDA and 12% in cashflow per security.
Costs grew by a greater than expected 12% due to investment in passenger experience and non-aero assets. Management has guided to plus 9% growth in CY18 which UBS view as conservative.
Buy rating retained and target is reduced to $7.10 from $7.60.

Macquarie rates TRS as Neutral (3) -
Reject's result beat the broker and guidance in what the broker describes as a materially improved performance. The broker no longer expects a repeat of last year's second half loss this year.
While earnings forecasts have been lifted significantly, the broker cites a fair valuation in retaining Neutral. Target rises to $6.45 from $4.06.
Target price is $6.45 Current Price is $6.80 Difference: minus $0.35 (current price is over target).

Citi rates WES as Upgrade to Neutral from Sell (3) -
For Citi's initial assessment, see yesterday's Broker Call Report. After second consideration, Citi has now upgraded to Neutral from Sell, while bumping up the price target to $41 from $39.30.
FY17 results revealed sales momentum has stalled at Coles, but margins are coming in better than expected and this feeding into improved forecasts. The analysts do point out further investment is required to restart momentum at Coles.
The good news, as Citi sees it, is the supermarket operators are seemingly behaving rationally for now. The outlook for the conglomerate as a whole has improved, say the analysts, because of stabilisation in EBIT margin declines for Coles on top of the sustained earnings growth for Bunnings (outside the UK). Woolworths ((WOW)) remains the preferred choice.
Target price is $41.00 Current Price is $41.93 Difference: minus $0.93 (current price is over target).
If WES meets the Citi target it will return approximately minus 2% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $41.05, suggesting downside of -2.1% (ex-dividends)

Credit Suisse rates WES as Neutral (3) -
First half results were in line. Retail results exceeded forecasts but Credit Suisse is not sure that downside risks to Coles have abated. Meanwhile, the uncertainty with respect to Bunnings UK means capital expenditure is constrained in the near term.
The broker doubts the company's current mix of businesses can outperform the market. Neutral maintained. Target raised to $40.65 from $40.43.
Target price is $40.65 Current Price is $41.93 Difference: minus $1.28 (current price is over target).

Macquarie rates WES as Outperform (1) -
Wesfarmers result was better than feared, the broker notes. Headline profit was below expectations but the earnings decline at Coles was not as bad as expected and the comparables are starting to move forward. Bunnings A&NZ posted another stellar result.
Cash flow was strong despite Bunnings UK&I losses and management will consider capital management once the Curragh mine sales has settled. On improving trends in Coles, and a 19% forecast total shareholder return, the broker retains Outperform. Target rises to $46.30 from $43.92.
Target price is $46.30 Current Price is $41.93 Difference: $4.37
If WES meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 10% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgan Stanley rates WES as Underweight (5) -
Morgan Stanley was pleased and surprised by the margin and sales at Coles in the first half. Bunnings and Kmart are showing signs of slowing, however, which could compress the multiple further.
The broker suspects the company has taken a proactive approach with Kmart, in view of Amazon's entry to the Australian market, and this has meant margins have narrowed.
Underweight rating retained. Industry view is Cautious. Target is raised to $40 from $39.
Target price is $40.00 Current Price is $41.93 Difference: minus $1.93 (current price is over target).
If WES meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately minus 5% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Morgans rates WES as Hold (3) -
First half results were broadly in line with expectations. A drop in earnings at Coles and losses at Bunnings UK were partially offset by stronger earnings at Bunnings Australasia, Officeworks and in the industrial division.
Morgans considers the stock a core portfolio holding but fully valued, given the earnings concerns at Coles, Target and Bunnings UK. Hold rating maintained. Target is raised to $41.18 from $40.64.
Target price is $41.18 Current Price is $41.93 Difference: minus $0.75 (current price is over target).

Ord Minnett rates WES as Hold (3) -
First half net profit was slightly ahead of forecasts. Ord Minnett expects Bunnings will continue to perform well, given its strong position in Australasia, although the UK business is worse than expected and the tail risk regarding an exit is increasing.
While the dividend yield is supportive, the broker believes the valuation is not compelling. Hold maintained. Target is $41.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $41.00 Current Price is $41.93 Difference: minus $0.93 (current price is over target).
If WES meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately minus 2% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

UBS rates WES as Neutral (3) -
First half results were better than UBS had expected, driven by stronger results at Coles and CEF.
FY18 to FY20 EPS group forecasts have been lifted 1-2%. Reflecting the strong result from Coles, the broker has raised FY18 to FY20 forecasts by 4-6%.
UBS maintains a Neutral rating, preferring Woolworths ((WOW)) and Treasury Wine Estates ((TWE)) in the space. Target raised to $41.30 from $40.30.
Target price is $41.30 Current Price is $41.93 Difference: minus $0.63 (current price is over target).

Credit Suisse rates WGN as Outperform (1) -
First half results were above expectations. Credit Suisse believes that plans to increase composite fibre production from 3 to 5 lines underpin the immediate growth that is available in the existing Australian business.

Macquarie rates WGN as Underperform (5) -
Wagner's maiden pro forma result beat the broker, driven by a strong construction materials & services result. Cement volumes were the highlight and Next Generation building materials continue to grow.
Risks in the group's operating environment nevertheless keep the broker on Underperform, with valuation not reflecting intensifying competition and the negative impacts of growing a downstream concrete business. Target unchanged at $3.25.
Target price is $3.25 Current Price is $4.12 Difference: minus $0.87 (current price is over target).

First half results were above estimates, and Morgans has confidence in the ability of the company to leverage its earnings during periods of strong demand.
A pick up in aggregates, crushing/haulage and a quick re-entry into fixed concrete all contributed to the earnings momentum. A maiden 1.5c interim dividend was declared. Add rating retained. Target is raised to $4.22 from $4.21.

Citi rates WOR as Buy (1) -
First half results were slightly better than Citi expected, although EBIT was lower due to lower than expected hydrocarbons margins.
The interim dividend of 10c was higher than expected, reflecting management's confidence in outlook. Citi has made marginal changes to FY18-20 NPAT assumptions while aggregate revenue assumptions remain largely unchanged.
Buy rating retained and target is raised to $17.50 from $16.25.

Credit Suisse rates WOR as Underperform (5) -
First half net profit was ahead of estimates. The broker suggests a market should be pleased with the $0.10 interim dividend and believes the order book is still yet to fully flow into earnings.
Despite the improvement, Credit Suisse struggles with continuing to strip out "one-offs" each year and notes the receivables still outstanding are substantial.
Underperform rating maintained. Target rises to $10.50 from $9.50.
Target price is $10.50 Current Price is $15.51 Difference: minus $5.01 (current price is over target).

Deutsche Bank rates WOR as Buy (1) -
The recovery is shaping up at a slower pace than was expected, but Deutsche Bank maintains the recovery is still happening, and that's the positive news. The interim report is considered further proof.
On a strong growth outlook, Buy rating retained. The financial report itself surprised at the top line, but underlying EBIT disappointed, with net profits in-line, but that was partially due to lower tax. Price target drops to $17.74 from $18.32.

Macquarie rates WOR as Outperform (1) -
Worley's result beat the broker and the positive surprise was a reinstatement of the dividend, six months earlier than the broker had assumed. The long awaited recovery is getting closer, the broker suggests, although there remains a lag.
Outperform retained, target rises to $16.08 from $14.70. The share price has underperformed the oil price recently, the broker notes, but revenue growth and de-gearing are driving earnings upside. Dar Group has now crept up to a 19.9% stake.

Morgan Stanley rates WOR as Overweight (1) -
First half results were slightly better than expected. The company has decided to resume dividends, with an interim dividend of $0.10. Morgan Stanley believes this provides confidence in the outlook.
Gearing is also declining. The broker notes more needs to be done with receivables collection, as there has been no noticeable progress across the four large outstanding customers.
Overweight rating retained. Industry view is Cautious. Price target is $16.44.

Citi rates WTC as Sell (5) -
Citi analysts make an extra effort to highlight they remain a huge fan of this company and its capable management, it's just that the share price valuation is now at stratospheric highs that can no longer be justified on standard financial numbers.
The above sentences were written in late November, but they still apply today, the day after the company released a disappointing set of financial results, suggesting organic growth is slowing. Citi reiterates their Sell rating, to make that extra point about valuation.
Earnings estimates have been reduced. Price target tumbles by -10% to $9.02 (somehow we missed the lift to $10.04 between late November and today).
Target price is $9.02 Current Price is $10.19 Difference: minus $1.17 (current price is over target).
If WTC meets the Citi target it will return approximately minus 11% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Credit Suisse rates WTC as Underperform (5) -
First half earnings were below estimates. The broker suggests the market was pricing in sky-high expectations so any disappointment was guaranteed to have an outsized impact.
The company has maintained prior revenue guidance of $207-217m, despite having acquired around $80m of annualised revenue. Credit Suisse suggests that the organic top-line "downgrade" is around 3% at the mid point.
Underperform maintained. Target is reduced to $7.10 from $7.60.
Target price is $7.10 Current Price is $10.19 Difference: minus $3.09 (current price is over target).
If WTC meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately minus 30% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $9.53, suggesting downside of -6.5% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.
