Despite the risks, particularly over the next three weeks, Citi still envisages potential for value to emerge in AMP.

Credit Suisse rates AMP as Neutral (3) -
AMP has updated the market on 2018 earnings. The dividend has been reduced to $0.04 per share in the context of further losses in the life business and some large asset sales yet to be completed.
The reduction raises questions for Credit Suisse about capital amid suspicions that the new CEO's future strategy will affect 2019 earnings.
The company has reaffirmed its commitment to returning the majority of the net cash proceeds received on settlement of the transaction with Resolution Life.

Macquarie rates AMP as Neutral (3) -
The company's dividend has been cut to $0.04 per share following additional provisions for advice remediation and a $100m top up to reserves.
Macquarie notes, while the capital position appears light, this should be rectified following completion of the Resolution Life transaction. However, any future capital management activities could be delayed while remediation expense programs are being run.
The broker maintains a Neutral rating and reduces the target to $2.50 from $2.70.
Target price is $2.50 Current Price is $2.31 Difference: $0.19
If AMP meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgan Stanley rates AMP as Downgrade to Equal-weight from Overweight (3) -
Lower wealth earnings in the second half, amid volatile markets and regulatory uncertainty, have caused Morgan Stanley to downgrade to Equal-weight from Overweight.
The broker also cites a lack of clarity on the future strategy from the new CEO. The main concern is how AMP sustains a commercially viable model, while managing compliance risk and the likely elevated role of trustee boards.
Target is reduced to $2.50 from $3.40. Industry view is In-Line.
Target price is $2.50 Current Price is $2.31 Difference: $0.19
If AMP meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $2.59, suggesting upside of 12.3% (ex-dividends)

Morgans rates AMP as Hold (3) -
The broker assumes AMP's update, warning of very soft second half earnings, reflects an element of rebasing, but given numerous earnings pressures and uncertainties the stock is currently difficult to value.
With a large operating loss in recently sold businesses, weak performance in ongoing businesses and further provisions for remediation, the broker cuts 2018-19 earnings forecasts by -92%/-32% and takes a more conservative approach to outer years. Target falls to $2.61 from $2.97, Hold retained.
Target price is $2.61 Current Price is $2.31 Difference: $0.3
If AMP meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 13% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $2.59, suggesting upside of 12.3% (ex-dividends)

Ord Minnett rates AMP as Accumulate (2) -
AMP has updated the market on its capital position and flagged an extra $100m in capital reserves for the life business.
Ord Minnett envisages potential upside on a valuation basis but remains concerned about the deterioration in profitability of the retained business units and also the long-term impact from possible adverse findings by the Hayne Royal Commission.
AMP is due to report its 2018 result on February 14. Accumulate maintained. Target is reduced to $2.60 from $2.90.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $2.60 Current Price is $2.31 Difference: $0.29
If AMP meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 13% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $2.59, suggesting upside of 12.3% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in December.
Forecast for FY18:
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY18 dividend of 14.00 cents and EPS of 1.00 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections?

All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
UBS rates AMP as Neutral (3) -
The pre-release of 2018 results sets the scene for a challenging 2019, UBS assesses. The most significant new information relates to capital, with a net -$140m erosion of the surplus from additional remediation provisions.
This had been anticipated and has not meaningfully changed the broker's view on value. UBS disagrees with the company's approach to including recurring profits in the sold business accruing to Resolution Life in "underlying earnings".
UBS maintains a Neutral rating and $2.50 target.
Target price is $2.50 Current Price is $2.31 Difference: $0.19
If AMP meets the UBS target it will return approximately 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $2.59, suggesting upside of 12.3% (ex-dividends)

Overnight Price: $3.30
Deutsche Bank rates AQG as Buy (1) -
2019 production guidance is 320-380,000 ounces at an AISC of US$675-725/oz. Strong guidance has been provided for the sulphide plant.
While the risk of disruptions will continue, Deutsche Bank believes, this is being taken into account and maintains a Buy rating. Target is $4.20.
Target price is $4.20 Current Price is $3.30 Difference: $0.9
If AQG meets the Deutsche Bank target it will return approximately 27% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgans rates BXB as Hold (3) -
Ahead of Brambles' earnings results the broker has made minor forecast changes due to updated currency assumptions. First half earnings are expected to be flat.
Target rises to $10.56 from $10.41, Hold retained.
Target price is $10.56 Current Price is $10.71 Difference: minus $0.15 (current price is over target).
If BXB meets the Morgans target it will return approximately minus 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $11.18, suggesting upside of 4.4% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.
Forecast for FY19:

Overnight Price: $1.99
Credit Suisse rates GXY as Upgrade to Outperform from Neutral (1) -
December quarter production was softer than Credit Suisse expected and guidance for 2019 pricing is notably weaker. Nevertheless, the broker finds reasons to be constructive about the stock and believes it offers value.
The share price is offering an attractive entry point and the rating is upgraded to Outperform from Neutral. Target is steady at $3.15.
Target price is $3.15 Current Price is $1.99 Difference: $1.16
If GXY meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 58% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Macquarie rates GXY as Downgrade to Neutral from Outperform (3) -
December quarter concentrate sales were in line with expectations. Incorporating the quarterly production result and lower spodumene prices for the second half of 2019, drives material reductions to Macquarie's earnings estimates.
The broker believes, with the advent of new, larger and lower-cost projects, Mount Cattlin is likely to become the marginal Australian producer and margin should continue to be eroded.
Meanwhile, the timeline for Sal de Vida development draws out. Macquarie downgrades to Neutral from Outperform and reduces the target to $2.20 from $2.70.
Target price is $2.20 Current Price is $1.99 Difference: $0.21
If GXY meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 11% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Overnight Price: $8.41
Credit Suisse rates ILU as Outperform (1) -
The company posted a strong finish to 2018 and production ahead of expectations. Credit Suisse believes end markets for the company's products are in better shape than is generally assessed.
The broker believes the retracement in the second half was overdone and there is value in the stock, which trades at undemanding multiples. Outperform rating and $11.60 target maintained.
Target price is $11.60 Current Price is $8.41 Difference: $3.19
If ILU meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 38% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Macquarie rates ILU as Upgrade to Outperform from Neutral (1) -
Strong December quarter cash earnings have driven an upgrade to Macquarie's 2018 estimates. The company has secured price increases of 8-11% for rutile and synthetic rutile in the first half of 2019.
Demand for zircon has softened but the company believes zircon is moving towards a structural deficit, while any price rises present upside risk to the broker's forecasts.
Macquarie upgrades to Outperform from Neutral. Target is raised to $9.10 from $7.80.
Target price is $9.10 Current Price is $8.41 Difference: $0.69
If ILU meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgan Stanley rates ILU as Overweight (1) -
Quarterly production was in line with Morgan Stanley's estimates. Importantly, rutile prices have increased for the next six months and now exceed US$1100/t for pigment and US$1300/t for welding markets.
The broker awaits 2019 guidance, expecting fresh zircon pricing will be announced. Demand for zircon slowed in the December quarter but there was minimal impact on sales.
The broker maintains an Overweight rating and Attractive sector view. Target is $11.65.
Target price is $11.65 Current Price is $8.41 Difference: $3.24
If ILU meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately 39% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Ord Minnett rates ILU as Accumulate (2) -
Commentary from the company has highlighted the global uncertainty that is affecting sentiment and demand, although market improvements are anticipated after Chinese New Year.
December quarter production was sound across the Australian business and Ord Minnett believes the macro risks are priced into the shares. Accumulate rating and $9.50 target maintained.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $9.50 Current Price is $8.41 Difference: $1.09
If ILU meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 13% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

UBS rates ILU as Buy (1) -
December quarter production was ahead of forecasts. For the first half Iluka has announced a sequential price increase of 8-11% for rutile but UBS suspects the market was concerned this would not be achieved, given weakness in the pigment market.
Higher grades and improved recoveries at Jacinth-Ambrosia have led to a build up in inventory which should smooth 2019 production.
Demand for zircon slowed in the December quarter, particularly in Europe and India while China is expected to pick up after the New Year. Buy rating and $11.50 target maintained.
Target price is $11.50 Current Price is $8.41 Difference: $3.09
If ILU meets the UBS target it will return approximately 37% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Overnight Price: $6.65
Citi rates NWL as Neutral (3) -
The impacts on net flows in the December quarter from the Royal Commission, weakness in capital markets and price reduction by BT were greater than Citi expected.
Weakness in equity market resulted in a -$1.2bn market movement in this quarter. The broker still expects the company to benefit from the structural shift towards specialist platform providers.
Neutral rating maintained and target is reduced to $8.05 from $8.10.

Credit Suisse rates NWL as Neutral (3) -
Credit Suisse believes the company is making the most of its opportunities, created by the disruption in the wealth management industry.
Slower net flows reported in the December quarter are considered temporary and the broker remains comfortable with an FY19-21 net flow forecast of $4.5-5.0bn.
Another reason Credit Suisse is not concerned about the level of flows is that lower flows were partly because of the mix in new business during the quarter. Neutral rating and $7.75 target maintained.
Target price is $7.75 Current Price is $6.65 Difference: $1.1
If NWL meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 17% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $7.83, suggesting upside of 17.7% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Macquarie rates NWL as Neutral (3) -
Macquarie believes the market opportunity supports the company's ability to take market share in the platform market. Tender activity and business opportunities are attractive although flows are competitive, leading to margin pressure.
The broker is forecasting 12 basis points of fee margin compression in the next three years. Macquarie reduces estimates for earnings per share in FY19 and FY20 by -8.7% and -6.4% respectively.
The target is reduced to $7.53 from $7.75. While the business has a strong outlook the broker struggles from a valuation perspective and maintains a Neutral rating.
Target price is $7.53 Current Price is $6.65 Difference: $0.88
If NWL meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 13% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $7.83, suggesting upside of 17.7% (ex-dividends)

UBS rates NWL as Sell (5) -
Fund flows stalled in the December quarter, net flows declining for the first time since the company listed. The company considers this a temporary situation as advisers re-appraise competing platform offerings.
UBS continues to believe Netwealth should be able to maintain its leading flow position, given its technology and service offer. However, there are risks from competitive responses and the broker does not believe these are adequately reflected in the share price.
Sell rating and $7.20 target maintained.
Target price is $7.20 Current Price is $6.65 Difference: $0.55
If NWL meets the UBS target it will return approximately 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Ord Minnett rates NXT as Reinstate Coverage with Accumulate (2) -
Ord Minnett estimates revenue growth will accelerate to 27-28% in FY20-21 as growth in hyper-scale cloud operators outstrips the available supply of data centre capacity.
With long construction lead times and difficulty in securing prime real estate it makes more sense for industry operators to acquire rather than build. The broker expects this trend to drive M&A which could benefit NextDC.
Ord Minnett reinstates coverage with an Accumulate rating and $8.00 target.
Target price is $8.00 Current Price is $6.82 Difference: $1.18
If NXT meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 17% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Citi rates OGC as Buy (1) -
Costs were higher in the December quarter but an improving outlook in the Philippines and extensions in New Zealand lift Citi's valuation. This de-risks the broker's rating to Buy from Buy/High Risk.
The situation in the Philippines has been clarified and, while measures are yet to be finalised, the bill for a single fiscal regime in mineral agreements has passed the House, which provides confidence that Didipio will be allowed to continue. Target is raised to $5.45 from $4.70.
Target price is $5.45 Current Price is $4.82 Difference: $0.63
If OGC meets the Citi target it will return approximately 13% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Credit Suisse rates OGC as Downgrade to Underperform from Neutral (5) -
Despite the weakness at Haile the company achieved upgraded production guidance in the December quarter. 2019/20 earnings estimates are reduced on the implications of the grade depletion over 2018, ahead of further guidance and details in the February results.
Credit Suisse downgrades to Underperform from Neutral as a result. Target is steady at $4.00.
Target price is $4.00 Current Price is $4.82 Difference: minus $0.82 (current price is over target).
If OGC meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately minus 17% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Deutsche Bank rates OZL as Buy (1) -
Deutsche Bank believes management has signalled its confidence in the Carrapateena project, which is now in peak construction mode, although maintains a three-month delay in its modelling with no production expected this year.
Post the December quarter, the broker updates its model, leading to a 7% increase in 2018 estimates and a 40% increase in 2019 estimates. The broker maintains a Buy rating and $10.50 target.
Target price is $10.50 Current Price is $9.60 Difference: $0.9

Citi rates RMD as Neutral (3) -
Citi acknowledges it expected that a high-multiple stock would justify the rally in the share price through operating leverage, resulting in strong earnings growth.
Instead the market has been forced to focus on the US$1bn invested in businesses over which very little disclosure was provided. This will contribute to an operating loss in the next 12 months and, as a result, the share price fell -12%.
Citi maintains a Neutral rating and reduces the target to $14.70 from $15.20. The business is now considered fairly valued.
Target price is $14.70 Current Price is $12.96 Difference: $1.74
If RMD meets the Citi target it will return approximately 13% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgan Stanley rates RMD as Overweight (1) -
Morgan Stanley reduces estimates because of softer growth in the rest of the world and the dilution from Propeller Health and Verily. Still, the broker's long-term view is intact, supported by a large and growing installed base and stable US reimbursement.
The main headwinds for the near term include the dilution, as mentioned, and the low growth in the device segment in the rest of the world, as periods that benefited from favourable reimbursement changes are cycled. Overweight rating and target is $17. Industry view: In-Line.
Target price is $17.00 Current Price is $12.96 Difference: $4.04

Morgans rates RMD as Add (1) -
"Short-sighted and overdone," says Morgans, with regard the share price response to ResMed's sales miss, which was impacted by lower device uptake in France and Japan as upgrades roll off. Patient growth outside these geographies is described by management as excellent, leading to market share gains and expanding margins.
Near device growth ex-US is slowing, acquisitions are adding to costs and Brightree is slowing "a tad", but the broker believes the company remains well positioned. Target falls to $16.31 from $16.73, Add retained.
Target price is $16.31 Current Price is $12.96 Difference: $3.35
If RMD meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 26% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Ord Minnett rates RMD as Downgrade to Lighten from Hold (4) -
December quarter operating income was almost -4% below Ord Minnett's forecasts because of weaker-than-expected sales growth. This was offset by a better-than-expected gross margin.
The broker remains comfortable with the company's leading position in sleep therapy but expects sales growth to be subdued over much of 2019 as past strength is cycled.
Rating is downgraded to Lighten from Hold as the broker now expects earnings to contract for the next few quarters. Target is lowered to $13.40 from $15.50.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $13.40 Current Price is $12.96 Difference: $0.44

Following the December quarter results UBS downgrades estimates for earnings per share by -5-10%.
