Equal-weight

$6.30

9.76%

Steadfast Group expects EPS accretion, and upgrades FY24 guidance, after announcing the acquisition of 70% of Queensland-based underwriting agency Sure Insurance for -$149m.

The broker's underlying FY24 diluted EPS growth was upgraded by only 1 percentage point to 11-16%, given dilution from a $280m institutional placement.

The transaction highlights to Morgan Stanley structural growth on offer in underwriting agencies, given domestic insurers don't have the appetite or technology to write a broad range of risks profitably.

Equal-Weight rating. Target price $6.30. Industry view: In-Line. 

FORECAST
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY24 EPS of 21.40 cents.
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY25 EPS of 24.10 cents.
