$36.55

25.30%

Morgans describes FY23 results for Sonic Healthcare as "mixed" with weaker-than-expected profits and broadly in line revenue.

Management is accelerating the reduction in legacy pandemic costs, observes the broker, as reflected by FY24 guidance for earnings (EBITDA) of between $1.7-1.8bn, although full improvement for profits will take a bit longer.

Management also outlined several near-to-medium-term drivers to improve margins and profitability including acquisition synergies, fee indexation and contracts, point out the analysts.

The target falls to $36.55 from $38.96. Add.

FORECAST
Morgans forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 109.00 cents and EPS of 140.20 cents.
Morgans forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 114.00 cents and EPS of 163.00 cents.
