This story features ACROW LIMITED, and other companies.

The company is included in ALL-ORDS

An additional news report on the recommendation, valuation, forecast and opinion changes and updates for ASX-listed equities.

In addition to The Australian Broker Call Report, which is published and updated daily (Mon-Fri), FNArena has now added The Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition, featuring additional sources of research and insights on ASX-listed stocks, also enlarging the number of stocks that make up the FNArena universe.

One key difference is the *Extra* Edition will not be updated daily, but merely “regularly” depending on availability of suitable quality content. As such, the *Extra* Edition tries to build a bridge between daily updates via the Australian Broker Call Report and ad hoc news stories, that are not always timely for investors hungry for the next information update.

Investors using the *Extra* Edition as a source of input for their own share market research should thus take into account that information after publication may not be up to date, or yet awaiting another update by FNArena’s team of journalists.

Similar to The Australian Broker Call Report, this *Extra* Edition includes concise but limited reviews of research recently published by Stockbrokers and other experts, which should be considered as information concerning likely market behaviour rather than advice on the securities mentioned. Do not act on the contents of this Report without first reading the important information included at the end of this Report.

The Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition is a summary that has been prepared independently of the sources identified. Readers will check the full text of the recommendations and consult a Licenced Advisor before making any investment decision.

The copyright of this Report is owned by the publisher. Readers will not copy, forward or disseminate this Report to any other person. For more vital information about the sources included, see the bottom of this Report.

Building Products & Services – Overnight Price: $1.06

Moelis rates ((ACF)) as Buy (1) –

Moelis retains a Buy rating and $1.44 target price on Acrow following its acquisitions of Brand Australia and Above Scaffolding for -$23m upfront, with a potential $6m earn-out.

The deals add geographic exposure in NSW and are expected to contribute around $40m revenue and at least $7m earnings (EBITDA) in FY26, at an implied sub 4x EV/EBITDA multiple, the analyst states.

Management updated FY25 guidance lower due to delays in project starts, now expecting $260270m revenue and $8083m earnings (EBITDA), with net profit after tax lowered to $32.5$35m.

Moelis cuts FY25 EPS estimate by -6% but raises FY2627 by 56%, citing timing-related deferral of earnings. The broker expects Queensland activity to accelerate, supported by the $60m BHP Mitsubishi Alliance ((BHP)) contract and Olympic infrastructure rollout.

Gaming – Overnight Price: $67.66

Goldman Sachs rates ((ALL)) as Buy (1) –

Ahead of Aristocrat Leisure’s 1H25 result on May 14, Goldman Sachs analysts have previewed the result and outlook in the context of US macro headwinds.

Back then, US casino gross gaming revenue (GGR) fell only -3%/-5% in 2008/2009, respectively. The broker expects a minor impact this time on a better growth outlook and because the company remains well-positioned to offset macro headwinds.

For 1H25, the broker forecasts EBITDA of $1.028bn vs consensus of $1.131bn, and will be focusing on fee/day trends and M&A commentary.

BBT    BETR ENTERTAINMENT LIMITED

Gaming – Overnight Price: $0.32

Taylor Collison rates ((BBT)) as Outperform (2) –

Taylor Collision believes the odds of a BlueBet Holdings and PointsBet Holdings ((PBN)) combination have increased following BlueBet’s purchase of a 20% stake in the latter.

This is considered a tactical move to vote down the takeover offer from Mixi.

For now, the broker upgraded FY25 revenue estimate by 7.4% following 3Q25 update. Outperform. No target price.

Jarden rates ((CIA)) as Buy (1) –

Champion Iron’s 4Q25 production missed Jarden’s forecast, but sales of 3.5Mdmt exceeded the forecast of 3.2Mdmt due to an earlier-than-expected inventory destocking process.

The broker now expects the balance 2.6Mwmt inventory balance to be unwound by mid-2026 providing an estimated CA$500m in revenue. Among other details, the analyst believes the cash position of CA$117m vs forecast CA$99m suggests net debt has peaked.

The broker expects no further dividend from already declared CA10c at the FY25 result in end-May but sees a risk of an additional amount given the cash position and CA$69m receipt from Kami JV deal.

Buy. Target cut to $6.91 from $7.02 on inventory revaluation as of end-March.

COL    COLES GROUP LIMITED

Food, Beverages & Tobacco – Overnight Price: $21.93

Jarden rates ((COL)) as Neutral (3) –

Jarden saw few surprises in Coles Group’ 3Q25 result, with supermarket sales up 4.7% y/y, Ocado performing well, though liquor was a bit of a drag.

The broker remains skeptical of the benefits of liquor business rebranding, and the -0.2% cut to FY25-26 EBITDA forecast is largely a result of softer liquor results and costs related to brand consolidation.

The broker prefers Woolworths Group ((WOW)) over Coles, but sees scope for both supermarkets to outperform.

Coal – Overnight Price: $0.17

Goldman Sachs rates ((CRN)) as Neutral (3) –

Coronado Global Resources’ 1Q25 coal production and sales, and revenue missed Goldman Sachs’ forecast. The broker was more focused on cost-cutting measures and additional funding, given a further increase in net debt and a reduction in cash.

The company announced it is in discussions to restructure the US$150m asset-backed loan facility and is targeting cost and capex cuts of up to -US$100m this FY.

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $5.63

Canaccord Genuity rates ((CYL)) as Hold (3) –

Catalyst Metals’ 3Q25 group gold production of 24.3koz missed Canaccord Genuity’s forecast of 30koz mainly due to interruption from Tropical Cyclone Sean, while the cost was higher.

Despite the production miss, the company reiterated FY25 production guidance of 105-120koz at cost of $2,300-2,500/oz. The broker, however, lowered the forecast to 107koz from 117koz and increased the cost estimate.

The analyst is more confident of the outlook, forecasting a doubling of gold production in FY27 to 171koz on Plutonic developments. 

Hold maintained. Target lifted to $6.20 from $6.10 as the broker increased the Henty valuation to $49m based on the sale price and mark-to-market of Kaiser Reef shares.

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $4.13

Canaccord Genuity rates ((EMR)) as Buy (1) –

Emerald Resources had pre-reported all the key 3Q25 numbers, so the only new information in the full report was guidance that quarterly production will trend towards the upper end of 25-30koz range.

Canaccord Genuity notes the guidance implies FY25 production of 104-109koz at cost of US$986-1,012/oz. This is in line with the broker’s forecast of 106koz at US$1,002/oz.

The FY25 production guidance of 110-125koz also aligns with the broker’s 113koz forecast, though the cost estimate of US$966/oz is lower than the broker’s US$1,007/oz forecast.

FMG    FORTESCUE LIMITED

Iron Ore – Overnight Price: $16.35

Jarden rates ((FMG)) as Neutral (3) –

Fortescue reported strong 3Q25 cash generation, with Pilbara hematite operations benefiting from lower C1 costs at US$17.52/wmt and forex tailwinds, beating expectations with a US$3.3bn cash position, according to Jarden.

Iron ore volume guidance for FY25 remains unchanged at 190200Mt, though year-to-date production of 143Mt suggests a result near the lower end. The broker trims FY25 production forecast slightly to 195.9Mt and improves cost assumptions.

Iron Bridge ramp-up was again disappointing, the broker comments, with processed volumes down -24% on the previous quarter and nameplate capacity now pushed out to FY28.

Despite shipping improvements, realisation remains below benchmark. Management raised capex guidance marginally to -US$3.5US$3.8bn. Working capital benefits helped offset lower capex, keeping net debt stable at US$2.1bn.

Jarden lifts FY25 forecast EPS by 1.3% on lower costs, while FY26 EPS is cut by 3% on weaker Iron Bridge output. Target price slips to $16.49 from $16.91. Neutral rating retained.

IDX    INTEGRAL DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED

Medical Equipment & Devices – Overnight Price: $2.39

Jarden rates ((IDX)) as Buy (1) –

Jarden believes Integral Diagnostics is facing challenges in 2H25 and, after re-assessing this business and the merged Capitol Health, the broker downgraded FY25 group EBITDA margins by -20bps.

The broker cut 2H25 revenue forecast to reflect the impact of Easter/Anzac Day holiday timings, and in the case of Integral, the Cyclone Alfred impact and staffing pressures in regional Victoria. Capitol’s revenue is expected to suffer from competitive pressure in metro Victoria.

FY26 is expected to see a rebound, with the broker’s EBITDA forecast sitting 8% ahead of consensus.

Canaccord Genuity rates ((IGO)) as Hold (3) –

IGO Ltd’s March quarter update showed earnings (EBITDA) of $34m, in line with internal forecasts but below consensus, according to Canaccord Genuity.

Nova outperformed with 4.2kt of nickel at $5.12/lb, generating $42m free cash flow, though guidance now caps mine life to end-2026. Greenbushes missed production expectations at 341kt but beat on costs, and stockpiles remain elevated, the broker details.

Jarden rates ((IGO)) as Buy (1) –

The highlight of IGO Ltd’s 3Q25 update was news the end of life for Nova mine was targeted for the end of 2026, 18 months ahead of Jarden’s forecast.

The broker revised forecasts to incorporate -$20m closure liability plus other write-downs, resulting in a cut to FY25-26 EBITDA forecasts. 

Additional downward impact to the EBITDA forecast came from a reduction of around -US$100/t in SC6 price forecast in the short to medium term.

Apart from these adjustments, the 3Q25 was considered positive in terms of costs and capex outlook, though production was -6% lower than the broker’s estimate.

IPD    IMPEDIMED LIMITED

Medical Equipment & Devices – Overnight Price: $0.04

Canaccord Genuity rates ((IPD)) as Speculative Buy (1) –

ImpediMed reported record revenue of $3.4m, up from $3.3m in 2Q25, with 36 Sozo units sold, although international unit sales declined, Canaccord Genuity explains. Annual recurring revenue increased to $13.7m, up 10% quarter-on-quarter.

Despite clinical and reimbursement milestones, such as 258m lives covered in the US, the broker remains disappointed with the conversion of market access into revenue.

Sales team deficiencies were acknowledged, and a new SVP of Sales was appointed during the quarter.  The company announced a rise in cash burn due to higher advertising and inventory build. The balance sheet was strengthened by a $10m drawdown from a capital facility, lifting cash to $27.9m.

Canaccord flags weak commercial execution as the key issue, noting its $15.3m FY25 revenue forecast may be optimistic.

IPH    IPH LIMITED

Legal – Overnight Price: $4.65

Petra Capital rates ((IPH)) as Buy (1) –

Petra Capital maintains a Buy rating and $8.00 price target for IPH Ltd, noting no change to forecasts despite ongoing external pressures.

The broker observes patent filings data to March 2025 from IP Australia and to January 2025 from WIPO, focusing on trends in Australian direct and national phase filings and global PCT filings.

The company’s full year to date FY25 filings declined 8% year-on-year, underperforming the market’s decline by 2.8%, driven by 14.2% national phase entry weakness, the analyst explains.

Market share has slipped to 30.4% from 32.1% due to IPH’s greater exposure to US clients, whose PCT filings have underperformed. While global PCT filings are flat year-on-year for CY24, US-originating PCTs remain negative.

Petra sees these pressures as transitory and expects filing comps to improve from MayJune 2025 into FY26.

Gaming – Overnight Price: $139.26

Goldman Sachs rates ((LNW)) as Buy (1) –

Ahead of Light & Wonder’s 1Q25 result on May 8, Goldman Sachs analysts have previewed the result and outlook in the context of US macro headwinds. 

It is noted the in-house US growth forecast is 1.2% over 2025, compared with 0.1%/-2.6% outcome during 2008/2009, respectively.

Back then, US casino gross gaming revenue (GGR) fell only -3%/-5% in 2008/2009, respectively. The broker expects a minor impact this time on a better growth outlook and because the company is well-positioned to offset macro headwinds.

For 1Q25, the broker forecasts 5% increase in revenue to US$796m vs consensus of US$808m. The focus will be on fee/day recovery, new product pipeline and potential litigation and ASX-listing updates.

MAC    MAC COPPER LIMITED

Copper – Overnight Price: $14.10

Wilsons rates ((MAC)) as Overweight (1) –

MAC Copper reported weaker-than-expected March quarter copper output of 8.64kt, down -24% quarter-on-quarter and -10% below Wilsons’ forecast, due to mine sequencing delays.

C1 costs rose to US$1.91/lb, but March’s standalone result of 4kt at US$1.49/lb highlighted cost-reduction potential, Wilsons notes.

Management retained guidance, though meeting the lower end requires stepped-up mining volumes. Wilsons flags upside from zinc development at Merrin, and long-term production scaling to over 50ktpa.

The broker notes the CSA mine has 12 years of reserves at 3.4% Cu and a resource grade of 5.4% Cu.  Wilsons lowersFY25 earnings forecasts by -5%, and the copper price forecast for the next two quarters is reduced to US$4.00/lb.

Price target falls to $22.00 from $24.50. Overweight rating retained.

Jarden rates ((MGR)) as Overweight (2) –

Mirvac Group’s 3Q25 update showed residential sales were down -12% q/q but pre-sales were elevated at $2.1bn. Jarden notes the company is well-positioned to gain from residential under-supply.

FY25 guidance for operating EPS and residential settlements was maintained, which implied a bigger skew to 4Q due to weather impacts.

The company marked to market debt cost, trimming FY25 outlook to 5.6% from 5.7%, and the broker highlights it has the narrowest gap to the marginal cost of debt.

The broker expects moderating cost inflation to be a tailwind, boosting profit growth in the next three years. Overweight. Target unchanged at $2.35.

MIN    MINERAL RESOURCES LIMITED

Iron Ore – Overnight Price: $20.90

Goldman Sachs rates ((MIN)) as Sell (5) –

Goldman Sachs notes Mineral Resources’ 3Q25 result was better than expected, with the drop in iron ore shipments due to wet weather not as bad as estimated. Iron ore price realisations and lithium volumes also beat the broker’s forecasts.

The analyst suggests the highlight was the company confirming it has no plans to raise equity and will manage debt and financial covenants.

The update on Ashburon iron ore mine was also positive, with the broker expecting the FY25 cost guidance to be achieved.

Shipments guidance at Ashburton was cut but it was still higher than the broker’s estimate. On the other hand, mining services EBITDA for FY25 is expected to take a hit as smaller contractor trucks are being used.

FY25-26 EBITDA forecasts lifted by 35% and 13%, respectively, on lower costs and higher iron ore price realisations and sales volume.

Target price rises to $21 from $18. Sell retained on valuation.

NST    NORTHERN STAR RESOURCES LIMITED

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $19.17

Goldman Sachs rates ((NST)) as Buy (1) –

Northern Star Resources revised FY25 guidance lower to 1,630-1,660koz from 1,650-1,800koz for reasons including operational challenges at Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mine. Cost guidance was pushed higher to $2,100-2,200/oz from $1,850-2,100/oz.

The downgrade follows a weaker-than-expected 3Q25 where gold production fell -7% short of Goldman Sachs’ forecast and cost was 6% higher.

The broker reckons the company is unlikely to achieve the 2Mozpa target in FY26 and pushed back its forecast to mid-2027. The analyst expects FY26 guidance to be issued in July and is estimating 1.86Moz.

Jarden rates ((NST)) as Neutral (3) –

Plenty of disappointment in Northern Star Resources’ 3Q25 result, but the impact on Jarden’s EBITDA forecasts was limited because of conservative pre-result forecasts.

The 3Q production missed the broker’s estimate by -6%, sales by -7%, and cost was 6% higher. The company cut FY25 production guidance and lifted cost guidance more materially, leading the broker to cut production forecast by -2% and increase cost forecast by 3%.

The analyst believes the company will also likely downgrade its previous FY26 production target of 2moz. EBITDA forecast for FY25 cut by -3% and by -4% for FY26.

Target rises to $18.30 from $18.10. Neutral maintained as the broker balances the target using US$2,200/oz long-term gold price forecast vs implied valuation of $34.50 at spot gold price.

This report was published on May 1, 2025.

Target price is $18.30 Current Price is $19.17 Difference: minus $0.87 (current price is over target).

ORG    ORIGIN ENERGY LIMITED

Infrastructure & Utilities – Overnight Price: $10.86

Jarden rates ((ORG)) as Neutral (3) –

Origin Energy’s 3Q25 APLNG revenue missed Jarden’s forecast by -4%, but electricity sales proved 1% higher. Octopus Energy continued its positive growth momentum with 0.2m rise in UK customers q/q and 0.5m rise internationally.

The company flagged no further distributions from APLNG in 4Q, and the broker reckons the deferral to FY26 may be done so the dividend can be fully franked.

FY25 guidance was unchanged, and the FY26 guidance included a comment 75% of expected coal volume was fully contracted or hedged at prices in line with FY25. The broker lowered FY26 coal cost estimate to $159/t from $169/t.

EPS forecast for FY25 lifted by 7.3% mainly on lower tax expense, and FY26 raised by 4.5% on higher gas sales.

Neutral. Target increases to $10.25 from $10.00.

Taylor Collison reaffirmed the Outperform rating on RPMGlobal but didn’t indicate the target price (target at stock initiation in December 2024 was $3.55).

While the advisory business was net positive due to synergy benefits, the broker believes its divestment makes the stock more appealing and is awaiting details on how the company sees its business going ahead.

Copper and zinc production missed the broker’s forecast by -6% and -9%, respectively, and unit costs at both Motheo and Matsa were higher than expected.

The company maintained FY25 guidance, suggesting heavily skewed production in 4Q. The broker is not convinced and is forecasting slightly below, while lifting the cost forecast for Matsa on stronger EUR/USD.

Goldman Sachs rates ((WDS)) as Neutral (3) –

Woodside Energy has approved the 16.5mtpa LALNG project for US$17.5bn (US$11.8bn net), with first LNG targeted in 2029.

Goldman Sachs notes capex exceeds prior guidance, with -US$15.9bn for the plant, -US$1.1bn for pipeline, and -US$0.5bn in other costs.

The analyst highlights supply costs suggest a US$2.9/mmbtu margin is required for a 12% pre-tax internal rate of return, or around 9% post-tax including the Tellurian acquisition.

The company expects over a 13% internal rate of return, implying a US$3.50/mmbtu margin, the broker highlights, The return is seen as difficult to sustain over the project’s 40-year life and given Goldman Sachs’ forecast oversupply from 2027.
