Neutral

$1.25

4.17%

UBS highlights the cost control exerted by G8 Education as agency costs reduced to 1.8% of revenue in 2023 from 5.5% in 2022. 2023 results were largely in line with forecasts.

The business has made a strong start to 2024 with better staff retention and progress on portfolio divestment.

The broker envisages further upside from accelerating occupancy improvement, agency cost control and divestments. Labour shortages remain a key constraint. Neutral retained. Target is raised to $1.25 from $1.15.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY24 EPS of 9.00 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY25 EPS of 11.00 cents.
