UPDATED

Overnight Price: $6.78

ADDED

Morgan Stanley rates BLD as Overweight (1) -

Morgan Stanley believes the concerns over the US fly ash business are the primary reason for the recent de-rating of Boral. Yet there are multiple strategies for new supply that should restore confidence and the broker suggests that articulating these at the FY18 result on August 29 could provide a catalyst.

Overnight Price: $4.15

Citi rates CQR as Downgrade to Sell from Neutral (5) -

Citi notes most of the company's projects were connected to the grid on time and the main concern centres on Sun Metals. The company has confirmed it has not been hit with liquidated damages for that particular project.

The broker believes the risks to the solar projects are more than priced in at the current share price and, while acknowledging risks for the short term, believes these are reflected in revised forecasts.

Macquarie rates SYD as Downgrade to Neutral from Outperform (3) -

Traffic growth in the first half is consistent with Macquarie's expectations. The broker expects some interest could emerge around Sydney Airport's masterplan but that will be offset by the Productivity Commission review and associated aeronautical negotiations.

Macquarie downgrades to Neutral from Outperform as the valuation is considered stretched based on a bond rate assumption of 4.25%. Target is raised to $7.10 from $6.85.

Morgans rates SYD as Hold (3) -

International passenger growth is running at above long-term trend rates in the first half, up 5.2%. Domestic passenger growth is 2.1%. Morgans forecasts an 8% increase in revenue for the first half that should generate around a 9% increase in operating earnings.

Given the company is considering whether to institute a distribution "glide path" into the initial taxpaying years early next decade, the broker does not expect an upgrade to guidance at 37.5c.

While the broker considers the stock has defensive attributes and a strong balance sheet there is insufficient upside to justify a more aggressive stance. Morgans maintains a Hold rating and raises the target to $7.30 from $7.12.

Overnight Price: $50.00

Citi rates WES as Sell (5) -

Online penetration is rising towards 3% for Coles and Woolworths ((WOW)) but online is loss-making for both retailers. Citi believes only one of them will have the opportunity to turn online into a profitable channel through an exclusive deal with Ocado.

Ocado has signed up five major retailers, and four in the past year, to its smart platform. These agreements licence the warehouse automation that enables retailers to service online profitably. A de-merged Coles is likely to be the partner, in the broker's opinion.
