Bell Potter rates COG as Buy
![](/stocklogo/COG.jpg)
Underlying growth and profitability for novated leases resulted in a "solid" 4Q trading update by COG Financial Services, Bell Potter comments.
For the Broking and Aggregation segment, unaudited FY24 segment profit (NPATA) of $11.1m compared to $13.2m in FY23, while Novated delivered $8.5m of profit, up from $4.0m. Asset Management's profit was $6.9m, down from $10.1m in FY23.
The broker is expecting circa 17% organic volume growth for Novated, driven by good leasing demand from private employees and record car sales.
The Buy rating is retained, and the target price increases to $1.75 from $1.70.
Citi rates COL as Buy
![](/stocklogo/COL.jpg)
Coles Group will be organising an investor day on November 14. Citi analysts believe the focus will be on the balance sheet as that looks under-geared and thus opens up the possibility of more capital management.
On Citi's calculations, there should be room for up to $1.3bn over the next two years. Estimates have been slightly reduced on lower earnings projected for Liquor and Property.
Buy. Target $19. Coles Group remains the broker's Top Pick in the sector, with the analyst expecting reductions in theft to drive gross
margin expansion in 2H24.
Macquarie rates SEK as Neutral
Seek has announced a -$120m or -21% impairment on the carrying value of its 23.5% stake in Zhaopin due largely to the slow Chinese economy and competition.
Seek also announced its net proceeds outstanding from the final tranche from its sell-down several years ago is now $75m, down from a prior $96m.
Macquarie has cut earnings forecasts in FY24-26 by -3-5% reflecting softer Zhaopin conditions as per the announcement and assumption for continued weakness into FY25-FY26.
Given the broker's valuation for Zhaopin was already below the written-down carrying value, there is no change to the $23 target. Neutral retained.
