Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Jul 29, 2025

Daily Market Reports | Jul 29 2025

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.

VAU    VAULT MINERALS LIMITED

Gold & Silver - Overnight Price: $0.38

Jarden rates ((VAU)) as Buy (1) -

Vault Minerals' FY25 sales missed the company's guidance by -1.2% while cost came within, but at the high side of guidance. Strong cash generation put the company in a debt-free balance sheet position.

For FY26, Jarden expects -4% lower production vs FY25 at 365koz, lower than consensus of 375koz. Cost forecast of $2,505/oz is about the consensus of $2,444/oz.

The broker lifted its long-term gold price and also FY25-26 price forecasts. However, this was more than offset by lower production and cost estimates. 

Buy. Target cut to 55c from 59c.

New Battery Elements - Overnight Price: $3.95

Canaccord Genuity rates ((VUL)) as Speculative Buy (1) -

The broker believes demand is much stronger than previously expected, and for the first time since 2022, it expects demand growth to exceed supply growth.

SC6 price forecast lifted by 6% for 2025, 5% for 2026 and 22% for 2027.

WDS    WOODSIDE ENERGY GROUP LIMITED

NatGas - Overnight Price: $26.19

Jarden rates ((WDS)) as Overweight (2) -

Jarden describes Woodside Energy's June quarter update and FY25 guidance as an overall positive one. Production was in line with the broker's forecast, while sales volume was 2% ahead and revenue was 4% higher.

The FY25 guidance implied an upgrade, but the more impressive one was a lowering of cost guidance, commentary suggests. Additionally, the broker suggests net profit guidance was upgraded based on financial line items.

Target lifted to $25.75 from $25.50 on lower production costs. Overweight maintained. 

This report was published on July 23, 2025.

Target price is $25.75 Current Price is $26.19 Difference: minus $0.44 (current price is over target).
