Overnight Price: $1.78

AX1  ACCENT GROUP LIMITED

Apparel & Footwear

More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE

Overnight Price: $1.49

Citi rates AX1 as Neutral (3) -

The broker sees Accent Group as a strong retailer, dominant in its space. However, the broker cannot recommend a Buy at current valuation given high levels of uncertainty surrounding the medium term outlook.

The company's younger customer base is significantly beholden to the expiry of JobKeeper, and most sales are of a "going out" nature rather than stay-at-home. The broker prefers stay-at-home beneficiaries.

Neutral retained, target rises to $1.55 from $1.53.

Target price is $1.55 Current Price is $1.49 Difference: $0.06
If AX1 meets the Citi target it will return approximately 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgan Stanley rates AX1 as Overweight (1) -

Accent Group’s FY20 sales (till June 21) were $923m, much ahead of Morgan Stanley’s estimate of $796m. The broker expects the group to finish the year broadly in-line with FY19. The strong performance was driven by the successful shift to online sales.

While it looks like FY21 will be starting on a strong note, the outlook is affected by headwinds including a potential second covid-19 wave, rising unemployment and reduction of stimulus measures, comments the broker. No equity raising is expected.

The broker has increased earnings estimates by 15-38% over FY20-22 on account of the group’s strong execution.

Morgan Stanley retains its Overweight rating with the target price increased to $1.90 from $1.50. Industry view: In-line.

Target price is $1.90 Current Price is $1.49 Difference: $0.41

Sales growth has bounced back over May and June, driven by online business.

The broker also believes the company has not experienced any major pulling forward of demand recently.

Morgan Stanley rates BAP as Overweight (1) -

Bapcor provided a positive trading update with FY20 net profit expected between $84-88m versus Morgan Stanley’s $75.6m.

The company has indicated future demand may moderate with easing stimulus measures and the broker feels some of the demand spike may be due to pent up demand.

On a positive note, the broker feels there are near term tailwinds in the form of preference for driving, better access to mechanics, rebound in demand for used vehicles and a rise in domestic travel demand.

Morgan Stanley remains Overweight on Bapcor with a target price of $7.20. Industry view: In-line.

Morgans rates BAP as Add (1) -

Bapcor's performance has improved significantly as restrictions have eased in Australasia.

While consumer sentiment may be distorted, given the extent of government stimulus in Australia, Morgans expects the automotive aftermarket will prove resilient.

Coal

More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE

Overnight Price: $0.99

UBS rates CRN as Upgrade to Buy from Neutral (1) -

While lowering forecasts for coal in line with spot prices, UBS notes prices are now well into the cost curve and further downside is likely to be limited.

Chinese import restrictions are a headwind for thermal coal, but India is emerging from lockdown which should benefit coking coal demand.

Citi rates CSL as Buy (1) -

CSL has agreed to acquire licence rights for a haemophilia treatment form uniCure for US$450m up front and a further US$1.6bn in milestone payments.

CSL has entered a licensing agreement to commercialise uniQure's gene therapy treatment for haemophilia B.

The company will pay US$450m up front following regulatory approval and up to US$1.6bn based on regulatory and commercial milestones.

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

CSL has obtained exclusive global rights to develop and commercialise uniQure’s gene therapy candidate for Hemophilia B and may pay uniQure more than US$2bn including $450m up-front cash.

uniQure will be managing the completion of the HOPE-B pivotal study and manufacturing while CSL will be handling regulatory submissions and commercialisation.

Morgan Stanley notes the biotech leader's net debt will increase to circa -US$5.3bn. The broker also reports the global Hemophilia B market to be worth around US$1.4bn with CSL’s Idelvion’s share at circa 30%.

Idelvion’s revenue is expected to fall to US$294m by 2025 from US$460m in FY20, on the broker's forecast, but will be offset somewhat by revenue from AMT-061 which is expected to be US$270m by FY25.

The broker notes the gene therapy candidate appears to be the most advanced relative to other programs.

Morgan Stanley retains its Equal-weight rating with a target price of $288. Industry view: In-line.

Target price is $288.00 Current Price is $294.00 Difference: minus $6 (current price is over target).

Ord Minnett rates CSL as Hold (3) -

CSL has acquired the global licence from uniQure for a clinical program that should support the viability of its haemophilia B franchise, Ord Minnett notes.

As the agreement still requires regulatory approval it is unlikely to materially affect FY21 results or guidance.

The broker believes the trajectory of US plasma collections will have a greater impact on earnings and investor sentiment.

Hold rating and $300 target retained.

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

CSL has acquired the global licensing rights to commercialise the uniQure gene therapy for the treatment of haemophilia B.

A phase 3 trial, with R&D costs funded by CSL, and scale up of manufacturing will be completed before CSL takes responsibility for further manufacturing.

UBS points out, while a commercialised gene therapy product will likely cannibalise Idelvion sales in time, it is unlikely to be used in children under 18 years.
