Morgans rates CKF as Buy
Morgans considers the FY26 result from Collins Foods robust in light of the tough conditions. Australia is the current driver of earnings with KFC Australia in the first half to date flagging same-store sales growth of 4%.
The broker believes the stock remains undervalued given its growth profile. A strong balance sheet means it is well-placed to fund its German expansion, accelerate the roll-out of Kwench and pursue further bolt-on acquisitions in Germany.
The broker also likes the stock for its strong leverage to improvements in the domestic consumer environment. Buy rating retained. Target is reduced to $10.60 from $12.50.
Macquarie rates IPH as Neutral
Macquarie suggests modest organic earnings growth and weak US PCT activity are dragging on the outlook for IPH Ltd.
Australian filing volumes were down -3.3% in FY26, substantially lagging market activity while market share declined to 24% from 29% as a result of lower filing activity by IPH firms an increasing prevalence of self-filing in the market.
US PCT activity growth is also non-existent, down -1.8% in the June quarter. Neutral rating and $3.74 target retained.
Citi rates PPT as Neutral
Perpetual's board has rejected EQT's takeover offer at $21.64 per share, pre-dividends, which is around a 28% premium to the last six months average weighted share price, Citi notes.
It remains to be seen whether EQT returns with a higher offer. The analyst points out mark-to-market offers upside earnings risk for consensus 2H26 earnings forecasts.
Neutral rated. Target $17.
