Upgrade to Hold from Lighten

$3.70

-8.42%

Following Bega Cheese's 1H results, Ord Minnett upgrades its rating to Hold from Lighten and increases its target to $3.70 from $3.00. Normalised earnings (EBITDA) rose by 3% to $76.5m compared to the analysts' forecast for $62.7m.

The broker notes the financial performance of the Branded segment improved, offset by Bulk which experienced soft market conditions. The outlook for Bulk is improving, according to the company, following a recent rally for commodity prices.

A fully franked interim dividend of 4.0cps was declared. FY24 guidance for normalised EBITDA of $160-170m was maintained.

FORECAST
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 7.00 cents and EPS of 9.40 cents.
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 10.50 cents and EPS of 16.80 cents.
