Buy

$58.50

16.81%

After yesterday's first glance at 2Q results by James Hardie Industries, UBS increases its target to $58.50 from $54 and maintains a Buy rating. North American volumes are bottoming earlier than anticipated and earnings margins are set to benefit from a structural lift.

A summary of the broker's research on results day is as follows:

UBS, in an initial review, comments James Hardie Industries' Q2 market update released this morning proved broadly in line with expectations, but the positive surprise came with management's guidance for Q3.

The "beat" is significant, assures the broker, pointing towards a magnitude of no less than 27% (against consensus pre-today).

Also, the broker believes the positive growth guided suggests FY24 is the trough in volumes. UBS points out margins at the current turning point are at much higher level than in past precedents.

The freshly announced US$250m share buyback is seen as yet another positive.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 244.53 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 274.72 cents.
