Neutral

$1.05

11.70%

UBS lowers its target for G8 Education to $1.05 from $1.16 following "mixed" 3Q results, where solid cost management helped offset the negative impact of softer occupancy figures.

The broker highlights potential upside from the divestment of underperforming assets, freeing up around $9m of pre-AASB earnings (EBIT) losses, combined with likely overhead cost savings of around $1-3m. 

The Neutral rating is retained due to various negatives including ongoing labour challenges.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY23 EPS of 7.00 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY24 EPS of 9.00 cents.
