Macquarie rates BRG as Outperform

Macquarie Kitchen Benchmark revenue rose 1.8% on the prior year for 2Q 2025 and the De'Longhi revenue index growth was 12%.
From 2018-2024, Breville Group has outperformed the Benchmark revenue growth by around 11% due to strength in coffee, new product development, and new markets, the analyst notes.
Williams Sonoma, a US retail channel, upgraded its 2025 revenue guidance by 2%, and Currys UK, a leading retail channel for Breville, reported like-for-like revenue growth of 3% for the 17 weeks ending August 30.
Uncertainty around tariffs continues to create challenges and volatility for small domestic appliance markets, and many companies have started to announce price increases in the US market, including De'Longhi, Electrolux, Shark Ninja, to name a few.
No change in Outperform rating and $39.20 target price. No change in the analyst's EPS forecasts.
Citi rates JBH as Buy

Citi has a Buy rating on both JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman, and expects both to outperform the market as consensus earnings are revised higher. For context, the broker's FY26 EBIT forecasts for both are 4% above consensus.
The broker expects the company to benefit from an improved outlook for consumer spending, growth in PCs, gaming, and especially robot vacuums, as well as further gains in market share.
No change to forecasts. Target price $120.
Macquarie rates OBM as Downgrade to Underperform from Outperform

Ora Banda Mining is downgraded by Macquarie to Underperform from Outperform with an unchanged target of 95c post the updated resource and reserve growth update.
The miner's annual R&R statement showed resources up 8% to 2.1Moz and ore reserves up 24% to 236koz (net of depletion), with an underground reserve of around 1.7mt at 3.3g/t for 176koz.
The bulk of the reserve is from Sand King, the analyst highlights, rising 54% to 84koz, and Riverina up 5% to 92koz.
Further growth is flagged from the sizeable exploration program over FY26, which is expected to boost resource/reserves.
Macquarie trims production estimates from lower Riverina grades and reduces FY26 EPS estimate by -9%.
