Accumulate

$330.00

23.83%

CSL has reiterated full year guidance, implying 13-17% constant currency growth on the previous year. As Ord Minnett highlights, guidance does incorporate gross margin recovery in Behring. 

The broker considers CSL's shares to be undervalued, expecting Behring's gross margins can recover to prepandemic levels by 2027. Further, it expects cost per litre efficiencies to improve from the roll out of a new donation system, reducing average donation time -30%. 

The Accumulate rating and target price of $330.00 are retained. 

FORECAST
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 629.59 cents and EPS of 1428.83 cents.
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 753.51 cents and EPS of 1714.41 cents.
