The company has listed its European real estate investment trust, which has 74 properties. Cromwell holds a 35.8% co-investment in the Singapore listed REIT valued at around EUR310m.

Overnight Price: $34.33
Citi rates CTX as Buy (1) -
2017 net profit guidance is $600-620m, slightly below Citi's estimates. The broker suspects this is a result of ongoing costs from the franchise review, plus modest margin pressure versus a strong first half.
The broker looks for updates in February for continued cost reductions and the strategy for the Foodary roll out, as well as the outcome of the franchise review.
Buy and $37.66 target retained.
Target price is $37.66 Current Price is $34.33 Difference: $3.33
If CTX meets the Citi target it will return approximately 10% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Market Sentiment: 0.4
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Credit Suisse rates CTX as Outperform (1) -
2017 guidance is strong in refining and soft in supply & marketing, Credit Suisse observes. The company has provided 2017 net profit guidance of $600-620m.
Softer margins in the second half and slightly weaker premium volumes could get the bears excited, the broker asserts.
Yet, Credit Suisse also points out that discounting from Coles ((WES)) led to some of the margin weakness in the third quarter and this trend is likely to reverse.
Outperform rating maintained. Target rises to $40.80 from $39.70.
Target price is $40.80 Current Price is $34.33 Difference: $6.47
If CTX meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 19% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgan Stanley rates CTX as Underweight (5) -
Morgan Stanley notes marketing & supply business has started to decline and there is margin pressure across fuel.
The broker suspects this is the early sign of standardisation, and expects some softening in margins over time as consumption fuels change in Australia.
Underweight rating and $27 target retained. In-Line industry view.
Target price is $27.00 Current Price is $34.33 Difference: minus $7.33 (current price is over target).
If CTX meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately minus 21% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $35.99, suggesting upside of 4.8% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in December.
Forecast for FY17:

Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 14.2. |
Market Sentiment: 0.4
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Ord Minnett rates CTX as Accumulate (2) -
The company has provided 2017 profit guidance which is below Ord Minnett's forecasts because of subdued supply & marketing earnings. The broker observes the company remains in transition, with several strands to its strategy to drive shareholder returns.
The retention of the Woolworths ((WOW)) petrol volumes are now more likely. Ord Minnett finds the core business attractive as refiner margins can support earnings growth and cash generation, and there is the potential to deploy this into higher multiple opportunities.
Ord Minnett maintains an Accumulate rating and raises the target to $37.50 from $35.00.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $37.50 Current Price is $34.33 Difference: $3.17
If CTX meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 9% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $35.99, suggesting upside of 4.8% (ex-dividends)

UBS rates CTX as Buy (1) -
Caltex has released 2017 profit guidance with net profit expected to be in the range of $600-620m, 16.4% ahead of 2016.
Though UBS is yet to be convinced the company has optimised its convenience offering, its buy thesis is based on Caltex retaining a fuel supply agreement with Woolworths ((WOW)). UBS awaits a decision from BP as to whether it will challenge the ACCC's recent decision.
Buy. Target is reduced to $39.00 from $39.10.
Target price is $39.00 Current Price is $34.33 Difference: $4.67
If CTX meets the UBS target it will return approximately 14% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

DMP DOMINO'S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED
Food, Beverages & Tobacco
More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE
Overnight Price: $44.01
Morgan Stanley rates DMP as Overweight (1) -
Morgan Stanley observes press reports regarding competitor Retail Food Group ((RFG)) have meant some negative impact on Domino's Pizza share price.
Regardless, the broker considers Domino Pizza's value compelling. Morgan Stanley observes recent press reports which claim widespread problems in the RFG franchise network but believes there are key differences between the two models.
Any increased scrutiny by regulators of the franchise model may also be beneficial for the Domino's business model, in the broker's opinion.
Overweight rating, $53 price target and Cautious industry view.
Target price is $53.00 Current Price is $44.01 Difference: $8.99
If DMP meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately 20% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

JHC JAPARA HEALTHCARE LIMITED
Aged Care & Seniors
More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE
Overnight Price: $1.97
Macquarie rates JHC as Outperform (1) -
First half operating earnings are expected to be -15-17% below the prior corresponding half, reflecting weaker occupancy and cost pressures. The company is factoring in a normalisation of occupancy in the second half and expects FY18 operating earnings to be -5-10% below FY17.
Macquarie reduces average occupancy assumptions to 92.5% for the first half and reduces the average revenue per day. Changes result in a downgrade of -8% to FY18 and -6% to FY19 estimates.
Outperform retained. Target is $2.25.
Target price is $2.25 Current Price is $1.97 Difference: $0.28
If JHC meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 14% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgan Stanley rates JHC as Underweight (5) -
The company has downgraded FY18 expectations, with operating earnings now expected to be -5-10% below FY17. The first half is expected to be -15-17% below the prior corresponding half.
Occupancy and margin pressures raise questions for Morgan Stanley regarding the quality of the portfolio. The broker believes cost reductions and additional services may be harder to deliver versus peers, and the recovery post FY18 will be less pronounced than the share price implies.
Underweight rating retained. Target is $1.60. Industry view is In-Line.
Target price is $1.60 Current Price is $1.97 Difference: minus $0.37 (current price is over target).
If JHC meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately minus 19% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Morgans rates JHC as Hold (3) -
The company has downgraded guidance for both the first half and full year results. A severe influenza outbreak across south-eastern Australia meant occupancy dropped to 91.7% at the end of September versus 94.2% at the end of June.
Morgans downgrades net profit estimates by -11.9% for FY18 and by -2.0% and -2.1% for FY19 and FY20 respectively.

UBS rates JHC as Neutral (3) -
The company has downgraded FY18 operating earnings guidance by -5-10% because of lower-than-expected occupancy. This implies an updated FY18 range of $54.2-57.2m.
Management has blamed a more severe flu season as a key driver of the downgrade which UBS finds curious given the company reiterated guidance as recently as a month ago.
UBS highlights the execution risk on the company's extensive development pipeline, with two brownfield projects slipping from the second half to completion in the first half of FY19.
Neutral retained and target is raised to $1.92 from $1.85.
Target price is $1.92 Current Price is $1.97 Difference: minus $0.05 (current price is over target).

Overnight Price: $50.61
Morgan Stanley rates JHG as Overweight (1) -
Dai-Ichi Life has increased its stake in Janus Henderson to 9.6% of around 200m outstanding ordinary shares. This remains short of the company's stated target of 15-20% ownership.
Morgan Stanley believes Dai-Ichi has to disclose changes to ownership positions with greater frequency if its stake rises to over 10% of outstanding shares.
Overweight retained. Industry view is In-Line. Target is raised to $58.50 from $57.00.
Target price is $58.50 Current Price is $50.61 Difference: $7.89

MQA MACQUARIE ATLAS ROADS GROUP
Infrastructure & Utilities

Overnight Price: $6.27
Macquarie rates MQA as Outperform (1) -
US and French taxes are set to change. Macquarie observes Greenway, to date, has not paid tax but changes in interest deductibility to 30% of operating earnings potentially creates a unique situation where tax will be payable for a period of time.
Meanwhile, APRR is directly affected by the super tax which will mean an increase of EUR22m at Eiffarie.
Outperform retained. Target is raised to $6.77 from $6.64.

Morgans is increasingly confident in the Western Surat gas project after immediate gas production from the phase 2 drill program came in well ahead of estimates.
The broker believes the consensus is far too conservative in valuing the company's Surat blocks and the gas is considered exceptionally easy to commercialise given its proximity to market.

UBS rates WEB as Upgrade to Buy from Neutral (1) -
UBS believes the core B2C business should continue to benefit from the structural shift of bookings transitioning online and the company is also well-positioned to take its share of the $70bn B2B market.

The valuation is appealing and the broker upgrades to Buy from Neutral. Target is raised to $12.60 from $11.60.
