Overnight Price: $7.75

Citi rates AIA as Sell (5) -

Auckland International Airport's stock has rallied strongly since October, up 20%, which Citi expects could be attributable to traffic recovery. However, Citi warns too much may already be priced in, with the broker seeing overheads and interest costs driving potential downside in FY24.

Airport traffic through December reached 75% of pre-covid levels, and the broker anticipates the relaxation of restrictions in China will see traffic improve further. The broker expects any revenue impacts of improved traffic, as well as from new regulatory pricing, is already reflected in the share price, and further upside is limited. 

The Sell rating is retained and the target price increases to NZ$7.69 from NZ$7.24.

Overnight Price: $0.64

Ord Minnett rates AIS as Buy (1) -

Uranium

Overnight Price: $2.57

Macquarie rates BOE as Outperform (1) -

Boss Energy's December-quarter report appears to have satisfied Macquarie, given much of it was already announced in late January.

The Honeymoon restart is on-time and on budget and the company is targeting first production in the December quarter.

Boss Energy closed the quarter with $115.6m in cash and $88m in inventory and the broker admires the balance sheet, which boasts $200m of liquid assets, which can comfortably accommodate the company's -$106m capital expenditure forecast.

BPT  BEACH ENERGY LIMITED

Crude Oil

More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE

Overnight Price: $1.51

Citi rates BPT as Buy (1) -

With Beach Energy's share price underperforming in recent weeks, Citi's rating reflects the opportunity it sees for the stock to re-rate moving forward. The broker believes it is likely the bottom is in, and that remaining issues are well understood. 

Citi expects the cleansing statement released by the company on its Waitsia asset will be the last major change made to proven and probable resources. The broker notes the field is clearly complex, but feels data gathered through drilling should have sufficiently constrained uncertainty.

The Buy rating is retained and the target price decreases to $1.84 from $2.20.

Target price is $1.84 Current Price is $1.43 Difference: $0.41
If BPT meets the Citi target it will return approximately 29% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Credit Suisse rates BPT as Outperform (1) -

While now expected after 2Q results, Credit Suisse forecasts a FY23 guidance downgrade at February 23 results.

The broker lowers its target to $1.95 from $2.06 after an -11% 2P downgrade at Waitsia and an overall -8% production miss, along with lower estimates for FY23 and FY24 LNG price forecasts of -3% and -28%, respectively.

The Outperform rating stays as the analyst anticipates a higher dividend payout policy and sees material growth and price upside catalysts in FY24 from low market expectations.

Target price is $1.95 Current Price is $1.43 Difference: $0.52
If BPT meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 36% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Macquarie rates BPT as Downgrade to Underperform from Neutral (5) -

Beach Energy's December-quarter result disappointed Macquarie, Waitsia drilling results disappointing (reserves cut by -15% - another downgrade); capital expenditure rising given a tight labour skills market; and news of a contractor reselection (the company is sensitive to schedule delays given LNG prices are unlikely to stay this high forever).

EPS forecasts fall -16% in FY23; and -15% in FY24. Rating is downgraded to Underperform from Neutral. Target price falls to $1.45 from $1.70.

Target price is $1.45 Current Price is $1.43 Difference: $0.02

Morgans rates BPT as Upgrade to Add from Hold (1) -

Morgans upgrades its rating to Add from Hold despite second quarter production missing the consensus forecast by -5% and Beach Energy downgrading reserves at Waitsia. The target falls to $1.81 from $1.91.

Production fell for Bass Gas, Otway and Kupe, though the analyst notes the latter two were afflicted by plant outages and lower customer demand, rather than poor operational performance.

Also, the lower reserves at Waitsia won't impact delivery of commitments to customers over the next five years, explains the broker.

Morgans' FY24 and FY25 dividend forecasts are raised by 30% and 55%, respectively, as the company will likely move to a free cash flow metric.

UBS rates BPT as Buy (1) -

Beach Energy reported Dec half production -8% below UBS, due to delayed well connections at Western Flank oil and soft customer nominations in the Otways.

An -11% downgrade to Waitsia 2P reserves does not materially impact the broker's valuation as production can still support Waitsia's LNG offtake contract, which is the main source of value.

Beach Energy remains a beneficiary of strong east coast gas prices, with two key east coast gas assets unconstrained, in the broker's view, from settling prices higher than the government's gas price cap.

Buy retained, target falls to $1.90 from $1.95.

Morgan Stanley forecasts proved to be broadly accurate, with Centuria Industrial REIT reporting 1H funds from operations (FFO) of 8.33cpu. Guidance was maintained for FY23 FFO and DPS of 17cpu and 16cpu, respectively.

The analyst highlights average rental growth of 19% on deals done in the 1H and anticipates strong momentum for rent revenue growth as 30% of leases are set to expire between now and FY25.

Morgans rates CIP as Hold (3) -

Strong tenant demand and low vacancy in key markets for Centuria Industrial REIT in the 1H has led to a positive (19%) spread between lease rates on expiring leases and the rates on new leases, explains Morgans. Occupancy was stable at 98.7%.

FY23 guidance for funds from operations (FFO) of 17cpu and DPS of 16cpu is unchanged.

Site coverage on the active portfolio is low at around 43%, observes the analyst, which provides future development opportunities.

Ord Minnett rates CIP as Hold (3) -

Centuria Industrial REIT has delivered funds from operations of $54m in its first half, a largely flat year-on-year result as higher interest expenses offset 18% revenue growth. The result was in line with Ord Minnett's expectations, and with full year guidance from the company.

Looking ahead the broker finds operating conditions favourable, with its main concern stemming from deteriorating credit metrics amid rising cost of debt. While cost of debt lifted to 3.3% in the first half of FY23, up from 2.0% in the first half of FY22, Ord Minnett expects this to increase to over 6.0% over the next five years. 

Finding the stock overvalued at its current price, the Hold rating is retained with a target price of $3.00.

While 4Q sales were softer than Morgans expected and revenue and earnings were misses of -5% and -10%, respectively, Frontier Digital Ventures announced upcoming cost-out benefits from expense savings in the Latin American region.

Ex Zameen, 4Q revenue would have increased by 1% on the previous corresponding period.

Overnight Price: $15.67

Citi rates FLT as Neutral (3) -

Citi describes Flight Centre Travel's first half update as pleasing, with the company exceeding its own guidance and delivering earnings of $95m. The company is guiding to full year earnings of $250-280m, which the broker notes implies limited growth. 

The broker notes commentary suggests as much as $90m of first half earnings could be attributable to corporate travel, and Citi warns corporate travel trends may now have stalled. The broker did find capital allocation for Leisure to be a positive sign, potentially indicating an optimistic longer-term outlook for the sector. 

The Neutral rating is retained and the target price increases to $16.98 from $16.60.

Target price is $16.98 Current Price is $18.65 Difference: minus $1.67 (current price is over target).
If FLT meets the Citi target it will return approximately minus 9% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Morgans rates FLT as Hold (3) -

Flight Centre Travel will acquire luxury travel business Scott Dunn for -$210m, funded by $40m in cash and a $180m underwritten institutional placement at $14.60, along with a $40m share purchase plan (SPP).

Morgans considers the purchase price is full and the transaction only offers mild EPS accretion, though encourages investors to take up the SPP on attractive pricing. 

Separately, the company’s 1H result came in ahead of guidance, led by a strong performance by Corporate, while FY23 guidance was in line with consensus forecasts.

The Hold rating is unchanged, while the target falls to $18.10 from $18.25 from dilution of the placement and SPP, as well as a lower net cash balances.

Target price is $18.10 Current Price is $18.65 Difference: minus $0.55 (current price is over target).

UBS rates FLT as Neutral (3) -

Flight Centre delivered a guidance-beating quarterly update, noting Chinese carriers bringing back capacity should be an industry tailwind, and lower ticket prices, while the corporate business continues to win new accounts.

That said, a potentially softer macroeconomic environment could impact both corporate and leisure travel, UBS warns.

Flight Centre will also acquire UK-based Luxury Travel Holdings (Scott Dunn), which the broker calculates as accretive.

Macquarie rates GLN as Outperform (1) -

Galan Lithium's December-quarter report appears to have met Macquarie's forecasts and the broker says strong flow rates suggest the company is on track to meet its pilot production rate at its Hombre Muerto West project, and spies upside risk to the resource estimate.

Overnight Price: $1.65

Macquarie rates GOR as Neutral (3) -

Gold Road Resources' largely pre-released December-quarter results met Macquarie's forecasts as did FY23 production guidance.

But all-in-sustaining cost guidance disappointed and the broker raises its AISC long-term forecasts.

Ord Minnett rates GOR as Downgrade to Accumulate from Buy (2) -

Ord Minnett has been disappointed by 2023 cost guidance from Gold Road Resources being 12% ahead of its expectations, with the company suffering the impacts of inflationary inputs and sustained higher spend. The broker lowers its earnings forecasts -14% and -4% in FY23 and FY24. 

Guidance followed a fourth quarter where production declined -11% quarter-on-quarter, and costs were higher than expected on larger mining and capital expenditure. Ord Minnett describes the latest result as a "slight step back" after Gold Road Resources outperformed peers over the last six months.

The rating is downgraded to Accumulate from Buy and the target price decreases to $1.80 from $2.00.

UBS expects 1H platform revenue margins for Hub24 (reports on February 21) will increase to 35.9bps, driven largely by a recovery in cash spread margins.

Nickel

Overnight Price: $14.57

Citi rates IGO as Buy (1) -

The first half saw IGO deliver a record dividend to shareholders. Production from the company's Greenbushes asset was up 5% quarter-on-quarter, with sales up 14%, and while full year output is expected to at or above the top end of guidance, costs are expected to trend higher in the second half.

Citi notes IGO has moved to quarterly reporting on Greenbushes, and while the broker likes the closer alignment with spot pricing it does highlight that with lithium pricing looking to have peaked a six month pricing lag is not a bad thing as prices trend down. 

The Buy rating is retained and the target price decreases to $17.10 from $17.20.

Target price is $17.10 Current Price is $13.24 Difference: $3.86

Credit Suisse rates IGO as Outperform (1) -

IGO's December-quarter result missed Credit Suisse's forecasts as weaker lithium JV earnings combined with higher than expected costs.

On the upside, the dividend met the broker's expectations.

December-half free cash flow outpaced consensus by roughly 30% but missed the broker's forecast by roughly 50%.

Greenbushes' production outpaced but pricing softened.

Macquarie rates IGO as Outperform (1) -

IGO's December-quarter and December-half results proved mixed, higher lithium volumes being offset by weaker nickel production.

Add to that an increase in operating and capital cost guidance for nickel and lithium; weaker cash flow generation; a -22% dividend miss; a production guidance downgrade at Nova; and a six month delay on a final invest decision for Kwinana; and Macquarie cuts EPS forecasts.

FY23 EPS forecasts fall -3%; and FY24 and beyond forecasts fall -5% to -7%.

Morgan Stanley rates IGO as Underweight (5) -

Morgan Stanley remains Underweight on IGO due to timing and capex risks for projects, despite a sharply negative share price reaction to 2Q/1H results. Increasing operating costs and a full valuation are considered further negatives.

Prior to the results, the broker believed IGO was overvalued and priced for perfection. A raft of disappointments within the results included lower production and cost escalations, which caused a 22% increase to cash cost guidance at Forrestania.

Moreover, the ramp-up of Train 1 was delayed at Kwinana and there will now be a delay for Train 2.

The target falls to $11.30 from $12.15. Industry View: Attractive.

Target price is $11.30 Current Price is $13.24 Difference: minus $1.94 (current price is over target).

UBS rates IGO as Buy (1) -

IGO's first half earnings were broadly in line with UBS' expectations; the 14cps dividend was a beat. However, despite the record returns and interim dividend, the broker is more concerned with ramp-up delays for Kwinana trains 1 & 2 and cost escalation.

UBS downgrades earnings forecasts across FY23-25 on Kwinana delays, a lower Greenbushes realised price forecast and broader portfolio cost escalation.

Buy retained on an $18.20 target, down from $19.90, as IGO remains the broker's preferred lithium pick through its high quality portfolio exposure to the EV raw materials thematic.

Target price is $18.20 Current Price is $13.24 Difference: $4.96
If IGO meets the UBS target it will return approximately 37% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Current consensus price target is $16.17, suggesting upside of 18.9% (ex-dividends)

Overnight Price: $0.44

Morgans rates IME as Speculative Buy (1) -

Following 4Q results described as fair, Morgans noted ImExHS was slightly behind its target to be underlying earnings (EBITDA) positive for FY22, with a loss of -$0.1m.

While revenue missed with lower conversion of contracts to go-live and currency headwinds, the analyst feels the company is now running more efficiently following cost-out initiatives.

The Speculative Buy rating is kept, while the target falls to $1.82 from $2.03.

Target price is $1.82 Current Price is $0.42 Difference: $1.4
If IME meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 333% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Overnight Price: $8.59

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

In a review of Lendlease Group's development pipeline, Morgan Stanley was surprised by a heavy reliance on near-delivery-ready acquisitions to increase work in progress. The true viability of the pipeline and the potential for blockages is thus questioned.

The analysts concede their review (which is more a point of intrigue rather than a bear point) may be a tad simplistic as some projects may just have faster approval processes than the broker anticipated and complexities may be understated.

First half results are due on February 13 and Morgan Stanley forecasts profit of $152m, as well FY23 profit of $352m.

The Equal-weight rating and $10.50 target are unchanged. Industry View: In-Line.

Target price is $10.50 Current Price is $7.78 Difference: $2.72

Liontown Resources's December-quarter result confirmed the already flagged 64% increase in the capital expenditure estimate for Kathleen Valley to $895m from $545m.

Macquarie says the company reports that tender proposals have outpaced the company's estimates by 30% as skills and materials shortages continue.

Outperform rating and $2.60 target price retained (it fell from $3.40 in mid January) given the project remains on track and the company has optimised the mine plan for the first five years of the project.

UBS rates MFG as Sell (5) -

For 1H results due on February 16, UBS forecasts Funds Management profit (PBT) of $118.5m compared to the consensus estimate of $124m.

The broker's adjusted profit forecast of $93.6m is -9% below consensus. The Sell rating and $8.60 target are maintained.

Target price is $8.60 Current Price is $9.70 Difference: minus $1.1 (current price is over target).
If MFG meets the UBS target it will return approximately minus 11% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

MME  MONEYME LIMITED

Business & Consumer Credit

More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE

Overnight Price: $0.46

Morgans rates MME as Add (1) -

Morgans considers the achievement of statutory profitabilty was a key highlight of MoneyMe's 2Q trading update.

Management expects 1H gross revenue will be greater than $117m (Morgans expected $107m) and upgraded FY23 gross revenue guidance to more than $220m from more than $200m. The broker had estimated $221m.

The above guidance changes are factored into the analyst's forecasts but are largely countered by an increase in the risk-free rate and a more conservative assumption for longer-term margins. The target rises to $1.20 from $1.17.

Target price is $1.20 Current Price is $0.25 Difference: $0.95
If MME meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 380% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Overnight Price: $5.78

Credit Suisse rates MP1 as Neutral (3) -

Megaport's December-quarter earnings outpaced consensus and Credit Suisse's forecasts, but net port additions were sharply below the broker's expectations while legacy ports transitioned were roughly double the broker's estimate.

Credit Suisse expects the economic slowdown to continue to affect the company in FY23, and reduces its net port addition forecasts and underlying port growth forecasts.

On the upside, the broker spies a 100% price increase in May or June for the VXC product.

Neutral rating retained. Target price falls to $6.45 from $7.10.

Macquarie rates MP1 as Outperform (1) -

Megaport's December-quarter revenue met Macquarie's forecast and outpaced consensus, but services growth disappointed as did operational metrics.

The broker expects the company's cost management program will accelerate cash flow this year.

EPS forecasts rise 3% in FY23 to reflect the earnings beat and expected cash-flow kick; but fall -77% in FY24 and -28% in FY25 to reflect the company's weaker operating metrics.

Outperform rating retained. Target price falls to $7.60 from $10.

Target price is $7.60 Current Price is $6.05 Difference: $1.55
If MP1 meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 26% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgan Stanley rates MP1 as Overweight (1) -

While 2Q revenue was 3% higher than expected, Morgan Stanley observes the focus of Megaport has shifted to targeting positive free cash flows.

As a result of this new direction, management provided FY23/24 capex guidance -20% below consensus estimates and indicated cost savings of $8-10m will be made prior to the end of FY23.

The analyst considers outlook commentary (slower decisions by customers and a longer sales cycle) was in line with a global moderation in IT spending.

The $10.00 target and Overweight rating are unchanged. Industry View: Attractive.

Target price is $10.00 Current Price is $6.05 Difference: $3.95
If MP1 meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately 65% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgans rates MP1 as Add (1) -

Revenue and opex were in line for Megaport's 2Q/1H, according to Morgans, while gross profit and earnings (EBITDA) were a beat.

Investors may be wondering why the stock was sold off so savagely in reaction to the results. The broker suggests decelerating KPI's indicate slowing sales momentum is responsible and highlights a miss for gross profit acceleration.

The analyst believes management's focus turned away from just achieving sales growth, and also aimed at becoming free cash flow (FCF) positive. In doing so, impressive leverage was achieved for gross profit and earnings (EBITDA).

The company is undertaking initiatives to materially lower cash burn and Morgans anticipates positive free cash flow in FY25.

The target falls to $8.25 from $9.00. Add.

UBS rates MP1 as Buy (1) -

While Megaport's overall miss was a negative, in UBS' view investors failed to also factor in partial offsetting positives. A large driver behind the short interest in the stock has been concerns around cash burn and a potential need to raise equity.

UBS highlights a doubling of prices of VCX's for a subset of customers, cost savings and capex reduction, all of which have materially de-risked.

The broker's earnings forecast downgrades imply a materially lower impact than the share price reaction. Target falls to $12.75 from $14.10, Buy retained.

Macquarie rates NIC as Neutral (3) -

Nickel Industries' partly pre-released December-quarter result appears to have disappointed Macquarie, nickel metal production being in line but NPI production falling -21% short of the broker's forecasts due to the switch to nickel matte production.

On the upside, the broker notes conversion from NPI production to nickel matte production succeeded, yielding strong margins.

2022 EPS forecasts fall -5% to reflect the production miss but rise 3% to 9% across 2023 to 2026 to reflect the switch to nickel matte.

NextEd Group has upgraded its first half guidance, tightening revenue range to $43.4-43.7m and earnings range to $6.4-6.7m, off the back of the company's ongoing growth trajectory. 

Reporting record international student enrollments in the December quarter, up 350% year-on-year, NextEd Group continues to expand both its course offerings and classroom space.

Overnight Price: $1.40

Credit Suisse rates PBH as Neutral (3) -

Credit Suisse's target for PointsBet Holdings falls to $1.40 from $2.15 after a reduction in the broker's long-term revenue and profit estimates. In the short term, forecasts are reduced (an improvement) for FY23 and FY24 earnings (EBITDA) losses. 

The analyst's financial model is adjusted due to a decision by management to target target ‘super-user’ sports bettors, resulting in a smaller overall US market share but a shorter break-even period as costs are contained.

Credit Suisse maintains its Neutral rating until PointsBet Holdings demonstrates it can attain profitable US market share.

UBS rates PWH as Neutral (3) -

PWR Holdings has secured a long-term lease of a facility in Rugby, UK, to centre its UK/Europe operations.

SDR  SITEMINDER LIMITED

Cloud services

Overnight Price: $3.76

UBS rates SDR as Buy (1) -

SiteMinder has provided another positive update, with revenue growth at pre-covid levels, broadly in line with UBS.

Accelerating subscription growth was a key positive in the broker's view, creating a higher quality revenue growth composition and reflecting a pick-up in sell-through activity.

The other major positive was a focus on reducing cash-burn, with management targeting "high standard deviation" percentage of revenue. A weaker global macro outlook has not impacted the business to date, consistent with commentary by major airlines.

Buy retained, target rises to $6.40 from $6.25.

Target price is $6.40 Current Price is $3.88 Difference: $2.52

Ord Minnett rates SLR as Buy (1) -

Silver Lake Resources has reported a softer than expected second quarter, with production down -16% on Ord Minnett's expectations, with much of the miss came from the Sugar Zone asset. While unexpected, the broker warns investors not to over analyse quarter-on-quarter variability given the asset's relative maturity in the company's portfolio. 

The broker anticipates Sugar Zone can deliver more meaningful improvements through FY24, and looks to progress on capital projects in the meantime. Ord Minnett adjusts its forecasts in line with guidance.

The Buy rating is retained and the target price decreases to $2.20 from $2.35.
