Upgrade to Lighten from Sell

$8.60

-34.05%

Ord Minnett had downgraded ALS Ltd's rating to Sell from Lighten in early October, expecting a slowing in its commodities business in FY24, which constitutes the majority of earnings.

Yesterday's interim release proved a positive surprise and we note the broker's rating has shifted to Lighten, which is one step up from Sell. No change in the view the shares are materially overvalued or that a slow down will arrive for the minerals testing business.

Life sciences' result was in line with the broker's forecast. Fair value assessment has lifted to $8.60 from $8.40. That awaited slow down is now anticipated to arrive in FY25. The broker has penciled in no growth that year (from FY24).

FORECAST
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 39.60 cents and EPS of 66.10 cents.
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 39.70 cents and EPS of 66.20 cents.
