Recent data points to slowing growth in user metrics for the BNPL sector, which reflects cycling of strong comparisons and slowing e-commerce growth as economies open up, explains Citi.

Overnight Price: $2.73

Morgans rates AX1 as Hold (3) -

Morgans now expects store rollout velocity to remain elevated as new concepts and favourable rental agreements take hold. It's felt the group’s scale and covid impacts in general, position the company well to secure more attractive rental deals. 

The analyst lifts EPS forecasts by 2.4% in FY21 and around 6% in FY22 and FY23, largely due to higher store rollout assumptions and gross margins (FX tailwinds). The target price is increased to $2.85 from 2.55 and the Hold rating is unchanged.

The broker estimates an around -$6m sales and -$3m earnings (EBIT) impact from the two week Victorian lockdown.

After an investor day and trading update, Citi highlights cap rate revaluations continue to surprise to the upside and will continue to play-out across the sector for at least another 12 months. 

The broker sees tangible upside in the extra 336,900sqm of unused space across existing sites. While sales have been slow to ramp for domestic bricks, the cycle is considered to remain supportive. Buy retained and target rises to $27.20 from $23.00.

Macquarie rates BKW as Neutral (3) -

Brickworks has guided to FY21 Property earnings (EBIT) of $240-260m versus Macquarie's expectation of $145.6m. The earnings update included a $100m revaluation gain in 2H21. The Neutral rating is unchanged and the target price is increased to $22.40 from $20.30.

The broker explains cap rate compression driven by strong demand for industrial property continues to underpin a valuation uplift. FY21-23 EPS forecasts are lifted by 53%, 33% and 52%, respectively, to reflect the Property revaluation and potential development profits.

In the US, Building Products activity is recovering, with the 40% non-residential exposure starting to improve, while residential volumes have rebounded strongly, explains the analyst. Meanwhile, sales momentum is estimated to be gaining in the Australian division.

Target price is $22.40 Current Price is $23.40 Difference: minus $1 (current price is over target).
If BKW meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Morgans rates BKW as Downgrade to Hold from Add (3) -

Following a strong share price performance, Morgans moves to a Hold from an Add rating and lifts the target price to $23.50 from $21.60. The company provided a stronger-than-expected FY21 guidance for its Property segment.

This was due to the recognition of a further $100m (Brickworks 50% share) in revaluation gains in its Property Trust, explains the broker. FY21 earnings (EBIT) for both Building Products Australia (BPA) and Building Products North America (BPNA) are expected to be higher.

The analyst continues to see a cyclical recovery in the Building Products businesses over FY21-23 and scope for further bolt-on M&A in North America.

Ord Minnett observes Brickworks is benefiting from an acceleration in housing activity in Australia, while in the US non-residential construction, previously subject to a significant decline in the first half, is now slowly improving.

The main area of upside for the business are the property operations, in the broker's view, amid strong demand for industrial property.

Macquarie rates CHN as Outperform (1) -

Early-stage surface sampling has identified new potential drill targets within the Julimar complex, and drill testing of the Hartog prospect is expected to commence by September.

Macquarie highlights ongoing drilling results, ahead of the release of the maiden resource for the Gonneville discovery, presents key near-term catalysts for Chalice Mining.

The Outperform rating is maintained, while the target price rises to $9.90 from $9.20. This stems from a modest increase in the regional exploration valuation to reflect the new Drummond target and a change in project funding assumptions.

Overnight Price: $10.63

Morgan Stanley rates DXS as Overweight (1) -

Dexus has taken a 7% stake in Australian Unity's Healthcare Trust at a cost of $180m. Morgan Stanley observes, financially, Dexus will collect a 3.5-4.0% distribution yield for its investment and this will be marginally accretive when funded by a 2-3% marginal cost of debt.

The trust has a $1bn development pipeline and could partner with another Dexus fund (DWPF) going forward, the broker suggests. Dexus also has first option to acquire the management rights to the trust should it be sold.

More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE

Overnight Price: $0.27

Ord Minnett rates EXP as Buy (1) -

Ord Minnett considers the recent decision to increase exposure to nature/experience for domestic customers is a sound move, given the outlook for international travel.

While the broker concedes the federal government's border restrictions could change at any time, at face value international travel appears unlikely to commence until mid 2022.

The broker remains comfortable that, post the restructuring, the traditional skydiving and adventure divisions can return to pre-pandemic levels on a like-for-like basis.

Estimates are updated to account for the likely delay in border re-opening. Buy rating and $0.33 target maintained.

Citi rates Z1P as Buy (1) -

Recent data points to slowing growth in user metrics for the BNPL sector, which reflects cycling of strong comparisons and slowing e-commerce growth as economies open up, explains Citi.

While Quadpay continues to have the strongest growth in the US, user metrics are tracking below the broker's expectations. It's felt the company requires a strong June in A&NZ. The Buy rating is unchanged and the target price falls to $10.90 from $11.30.

Despite website visits in the US pointing to downside risk to total transaction volume (TTV), the analyst sees potential for an increase in ‘Shop Anywhere’  as an offset. The company's website visits and app downloads in Australia are also considered below expectations.

Target price is $10.90 Current Price is $6.82 Difference: $4.08
If Z1P meets the Citi target it will return approximately 60% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Current consensus price target is $8.82, suggesting upside of 28.4% (ex-dividends)
