Infrastructure & Utilities

More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE

Overnight Price: $8.20

Macquarie rates ALX as Outperform (1) -

Macquarie finds the sustained dividend growth attractive although acknowledges traffic data in the June quarter was not ideal. Traffic on APRR was worse than expected and Dulles Greenway disappointed.

The broker notes Dulles Greenway will remain in dividend lock for 2019 and the earliest a dividend can be expected from the asset is 2021. The broker reduces the target to $8.12 from $8.45. Outperform.

If ALX meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

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

Traffic declined for APRR in the first half of 2019 by -1.0% with toll revenue growth of 1.3% on a 1.81% toll increase. Morgan Stanley notes APRR is cycling favourable 2018 comparables, when traffic benefited from a temporary diversion from French rail.

Dulles Greenway traffic declined -2.3% with a toll revenue decline of -0.4%. The broker notes Dulles Greenway is suffering from multiple headwinds, hopefully transient.

Equal-weight rating, Cautious industry view and $7.27 target maintained.

Morgans rates ALX as Hold (3) -

There were no surprises  from a weak quarterly result from Atlas Arteria given a strong June Q a year ago and a slowing European economy. The broker updates revenue forecasts to reflect an assumed lower for longer economic environment and downgrades its dividend forecasts, conservatively assuming Eiffarie debt amortisation will continue.

Hold retained. It is not made clear as to why the broker's target is increased to $7.37 from $6.76. Possibly a roll-forward of forecasts.

Target price is $7.37 Current Price is $8.20 Difference: minus $0.83 (current price is over target).
If ALX meets the Morgans target it will return approximately minus 10% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

UBS rates ALX as Neutral (3) -

The company reported weighted average toll revenue increases of 0.3% for the June quarter amid -2.1% declines in traffic across the network. APRR traffic is now down -0.5% on a 12-month trading basis, partially because of the "Yellow Vest" protests.

Dulles Greenway traffic was broadly in line with UBS forecasts, but the risks are considered to be to the downside. Neutral rating and $6.90 target maintained.

Target price is $6.90 Current Price is $8.20 Difference: minus $1.3 (current price is over target).
If ALX meets the UBS target it will return approximately minus 16% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

ASX  ASX LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments

Overnight Price: $87.51

Credit Suisse rates ASX as Underperform (5) -

Credit Suisse observes corporate actions were weak in the second half of FY19. Margin on listings in the current half year is expected to be significantly higher, as particularly low-margin listings are cycled.

A narrowing BBSW spread and reductions to the cash rate are creating a headwind, the broker adds. Credit Suisse remains supportive of the incremental growth opportunities the company is pursuing but considers the benefits long dated.

Underperform rating and $60 target maintained.

Target price is $60.00 Current Price is $87.51 Difference: minus $27.51 (current price is over target).
If ASX meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately minus 31% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Overnight Price: $2.06

Citi rates BPT as Downgrade to Neutral from Buy (3) -

Citi now considers the stock fair value at a conservative US$55/bbl oil price and downgrades to Neutral from Buy.

The broker remains sympathetic to those investors with a higher commodity deck that remain positive on the stock, particularly given the options on the balance sheet to accelerate organic growth or return capital.

However, the broker also believes it is premature to take any profits ahead of FY20 guidance. Target is raised to $2.06 from $2.01.

Target price is $2.06 Current Price is $2.06 Difference: $0

Credit Suisse rates BPT as Neutral (3) -

The fourth quarter production performance was strong because of higher oil production from Western Flank and higher gas prices. Credit Suisse likes the upside from cost synergies and growth in Western Flank, Waitsia and Otway as well as a growing uncontracted gas position.

However, downside is envisaged from possible lower contract price reviews at Lattice. Neutral rating maintained. Target is raised to $2.02 from $2.00.

Macquarie rates BPT as Neutral (3) -

The company has reported a record June quarter and entered FY19 with zero debt. The result was driven by continued outperformance of the Western Flank, offset by weaker volumes from east coast gas production, Macquarie observes.

The broker expects drilling success within the Cooper Basin will deliver upward revisions to reserves at the August 19 result. Neutral and $2.10 target retained.

Target price is $2.10 Current Price is $2.06 Difference: $0.04

Ord Minnett rates BPT as Buy (1) -

June quarter production was ahead of Ord Minnett's estimates. Forecasts are lifted and are expected to exceed the top end of guidance for FY19.

Production was supported by strong output from the Western Flank assets as well as higher prices for product.

Buy rating maintained with a $2.50 target. Ord Minnett envisages further M&A could be a key medium-term catalyst, as the company now holds 4% of its market capitalisation in cash.

Credit Suisse rates ILU as Downgrade to Neutral from Outperform (3) -

Credit Suisse notes a large response in the share price, down -10%, to the June quarter result. The broker finds it hard to envisage a near-term catalysts for the upside and downgrades to Neutral from Outperform.

A softer sales outlook is being driven by tepid end-user zircon demand. Target is reduced to $10.00 from $10.40. The broker notes the timing of the Sembehun study and phase 1 have been pushed out.

Higher capital expenditure would be required if the large-scale operation of over 300,000tpa is still a target, in the broker's view. Hence, part of the design is returning to a scoping stage.

UBS rates ILU as Downgrade to Neutral from Buy (3) -

UBS was disappointed with the June quarter production outcomes because of poor zircon sales. The company has indicated the zircon market has deteriorated over the past three months as higher production from remnant miners and new entrants has caused price discounts for lower grades.

Optimisation studies have continued at Sembehun and the project has now been sent back for further review of scope. UBS factors in delay of 24 months for Sembehun and cuts realised zircon pricing estimates.

Overnight Price: $95.98

Credit Suisse rates RIO as Downgrade to Underperform from Neutral (5) -

Credit Suisse believes a turning point is approaching for iron ore pricing, with momentum in China's port inventory drawdown slowing, and supply continuing to recover.

This, combined with a lack of meaningful valuation support, leads the broker to downgrade to Underperform from Neutral. Target is reduced to $92 from $95.

The main risk to the broker's view is continued strength in iron ore prices via a meaningful stimulus of construction activity in China.

Target price is $92.00 Current Price is $95.98 Difference: minus $3.98 (current price is over target).
If RIO meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately minus 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Credit Suisse rates SBM as Downgrade to Underperform from Neutral (5) -

Credit Suisse observes lower production from Gwalia delivered an adverse impact on reported costs in the June quarter. Production was strong at Simberi, however, which meant costs decline further.

The broker expects FY20 to be another constrained year for Gwalia before the mining bottlenecks are removed. Simberi sulphides remain the next most significant value option organically.

The broker downgrades to Underperform from Neutral. Target is steady at $2.76.

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

June quarter production was affected by elevated costs at both Gwalia and Simberi. Macquarie expects costs to remain elevated in FY20 as Gwalia prioritises development and Simberi production steps down.

There is also the prospect of a decision on the Simberi sulphide option. Macquarie downgrades to Underperform from Neutral and reduces the target by -3% to $3.00.

Target price is $3.00 Current Price is $3.52 Difference: minus $0.52 (current price is over target).
If SBM meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 15% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Overnight Price: $6.73

Credit Suisse rates SFR as Neutral (3) -

June quarter production was in line with expectations. The broker finds Black Butte has become less appealing than the undeveloped T3 copper project in Botswana (potentially being acquired), despite the lengthy promotion of the former by the company.

Credit Suisse retains a Neutral rating and $6.75 target.

Target price is $6.75 Current Price is $6.73 Difference: $0.02

Macquarie rates SFR as Neutral (3) -

Fourth quarter production beat Macquarie's forecasts. However, FY20 guidance is weaker than expected.

The Black Butte feasibility study is on track for the September quarter and the company expects a mine operating permit to be issued by the end of the year.

Meanwhile, the company has executed the agreement to acquire MOD Resources ((MOD)) and the T3 project is scheduled to commence construction in 2020.

Neutral rating maintained. Target is reduced to $6.70 from $7.10.

Morgan Stanley rates SFR as Overweight (1) -

June quarter production beat estimates on delivery of more ore from Monty and Morgan Stanley believes this shows potential copper uplift in FY20.

Hence, FY20 guidance, for 70-75,000t copper and 38-42,000 ounces of gold, is likely to be conservative, in the broker's opinion.

Overweight rating and $8.45 target. Industry view is Attractive.

Target price is $8.45 Current Price is $6.73 Difference: $1.72
If SFR meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately 26% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Ord Minnett rates SFR as Accumulate (2) -

June quarter production of copper was in line with Ord Minnett's estimates. The broker considers the operating permit for Black Butte, which could be issued by the end of the year, will be a significant de-risking event.

FY20 guidance for 70-75,000t is materially lower than the broker expected, mainly because of lower volume of ore from the Monty mine and a lower-than-expected grade.

Ord Minnett maintains an Accumulate rating and reduces the target to $7.70 from $8.10.

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

Target price is $7.70 Current Price is $6.73 Difference: $0.97
If SFR meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 14% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Current consensus price target is $7.31, suggesting upside of 8.6% (ex-dividends)

UBS rates SFR as Neutral (3) -

Production of 18,000t of copper in concentrate in the June quarter was 15% ahead of UBS estimates. Cash costs were -22% lower than expected. Hence, FY20 guidance appears potentially conservative to the broker.

Guidance is for 70-75,000t of copper in concentrate. The difference to the broker's estimates is that the higher-grade Monty ore is being introduced at a slower rate. Neutral rating and $6.50 target maintained.

Target price is $6.50 Current Price is $6.73 Difference: minus $0.23 (current price is over target).
If SFR meets the UBS target it will return approximately minus 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Overnight Price: $17.39

UBS rates TWE as Buy (1) -

The company has brought forward the 2019 Penfolds release date to August 8, two months earlier than in 2018. UBS understands the Wynns release date has been pushed back.

This move is positive, in the broker's view, as it should help cash conversion and increase the time to sell into the market. The early Penfolds release is not expected to have any impact on the FY19 result. Buy rating and $19 target maintained.

Target price is $19.00 Current Price is $17.39 Difference: $1.61
If TWE meets the UBS target it will return approximately 9% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
