This story features AUSTRALIAN CLINICAL LABS LIMITED, and other companies.
For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: ACL

The company is included in ASX300 and 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.

ACL    AUSTRALIAN CLINICAL LABS LIMITED

Healthcare services – Overnight Price: $2.63

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

Canaccord Genuity maintains a Buy rating and $3.85 target price on Australian Clinical Labs following the AGM update, which reaffirmed FY26 earnings guidance despite a flat 1Q26 result against strong comparatives.

Revenue is tracking toward the lower end of guidance at $760–780m, though the broker remains mid-range at $770m, anticipating easier growth comps and contribution from billing and Medicare indexation initiatives.

EBIT guidance of $67–73m was maintained, and a potential buyback of up to 19.5m shares could deliver around 10% EPS accretion from FY27 if fully exercised.

Competitive pressure from unlisted provider 4Cyte remains, particularly in NSW, though the broker sees the company’s integrated systems and private billing expansion as key differentiators.

This report was published on October 24, 2025.

Target price is $3.85 Current Price is $2.63 Difference: $1.22
If ACL meets the Canaccord Genuity target it will return approximately 46% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company’s fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY26:

Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 11.00 cents and EPS of 19.00 cents.
At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 4.18%.
At the last closing share price the stock’s estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 13.84.

Forecast for FY27:

At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 4.94%.
At the last closing share price the stock’s estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 11.95.

BNZ    BENZ MINING CORP.

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $1.59

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

Canaccord Genuity maintains a Speculative Buy rating on Benz Mining and raises its target price to $3.10 from $2.50 following a reassessment of valuation metrics to include a premium for scale and grade potential.

The  Zone 126 discovery at Glenburgh continues to impress with high-grade results including 11m at 19.9g/t Au and 79m at 4.4g/t Au, supporting potential for a multi-million-ounce system.

Together with the Icon-Apollo trend, the broker sees early potential for up to 4.5Moz, aligned with the newly introduced milestone-based Performance Rights.

This report was published on October 27, 2025.

Target price is $2.50 Current Price is $1.59 Difference: $0.905
If BNZ meets the Canaccord Genuity target it will return approximately 57% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena’s consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources

CY5    CYGNUS METALS LIMITED

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $0.14

Canaccord Genuity rates ((CY5)) as Speculative Buy (1) –

Canaccord Genuity highlights the accelerating consolidation within Quebec’s Chibougamau district, following IAMGOLD’s CA$267m acquisition of Northern Superior Resources to form the Nelligan Mining Complex.

The combined complex now hosts 12.4Moz at 1.1g/t Au across more than 1,100km², establishing it as Canada’s fourth-largest pre-production gold camp.

Cygnus Metals holds 2.2Moz at 4.6g/t AuEq with seven former producing mines and owns the district’s only 900ktpa processing facility, last operated in 2008.

The broker believes Cygnus’ infrastructure and proximity to key deposits such as Joe Mann and Chevrier Est position it as a strategic participant in further regional consolidation.

Speculative Buy rating maintained with a $0.35 target price

This report was published on October 21, 2025.

Target price is $0.35 Current Price is $0.14 Difference: $0.215

CYG    COVENTRY GROUP LIMITED

Hardware & Equipment – Overnight Price: $0.58

Taylor Collison rates ((CYG)) as Initiation of coverage with Outperform (2) –

Taylor Collison initiates coverage of Coventry Group with an Outperform rating and a $1.02 target price, highlighting significant upside potential should the company pursue a divisional separation.

The companu operates two distinct divisions, Fluid Systems and Trade Distribution, with minimal strategic overlap, supporting a potential divestment strategy valued at up to 1.7x the current equity value.

ERP implementation challenges have weighed on performance, but the system rollout is nearing completion, and management expects a recovery to FY24 earnings levels by FY26.

The recent $20m capital raise provides sufficient runway to restore operations and position both divisions for improved performance and strategic optionality.

This report was published on October 23, 2025.

Current Price is $0.58. Target price not assessed.

Uranium – Overnight Price: $1.70

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

The company closed the quarter with $203.5m in cash, Canaccord Genuity notes, maintaining a strong balance sheet to support staged development while awaiting a uranium price environment conducive to FID.

Recent RC drilling at the S-Bend prospect confirmed multiple clusters of higher-grade mineralisation, reinforcing potential mine life extensions at Tumas.

FCL    FINEOS CORPORATION HOLDINGS PLC

Cloud services – Overnight Price: $3.01

Moelis rates ((FCL)) as Hold (3) –

Fineos Corp announced third-quarter cash flow update supports management’s target of achieving positive cash flow in 2025, with performance in the final quarter key to success, Moelis highlights.

Cash outflow for 4Q25 is forecast at -EUR9.3m, implying a full-year inflow of EUR3.5m, with the target achievable provided outflows remain below -EUR12.8m.

Operating cash costs in the first nine months were -EUR3.9m lower y/y due to headcount reductions and lower unit labour costs, partly assisted by FX movements.

Revenue remains in line with expectations on a constant currency basis, though euro strength is expected to weigh on reported results in 2H2025.

Hold rating maintained with a $3.27 target price, supported by stable execution and continued SaaS migration momentum.

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

Gold production of 80.9koz and sales of 82.2koz were pre-announced, while AISC of $2,155/oz and recovery of 88.6% both exceeded expectations.

Cash stood at $750m and capex of -$70m tracked broadly in line with forecasts.

Moelis rates ((GGP)) as Hold (3) –

Greatland Resources announced a robust September quarter with production of 80.9koz Au and 3.4kt Cu, exceeding Moelis’ forecasts on both metrics and driving improved financial outcomes.

AISC of $2,155/oz was well below expectations, while operating cash flow rose to $284m and cash increased to $750m.

The result benefited from higher recoveries and sales volumes, although some cashflow strength reflected timing benefits from accrued but unpaid expenditure.

HUB    HUB24 LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $116.53

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

Canaccord Genuity notes Hub24 delivered another record flow result in 1Q26, beating consensus estimates by around 20%.

Net platform flows of $5.2bn rose 28% y/y, driving platform FUA to $122bn and total group FUA to $146.5bn.

The result prompted the analyst to upgrade net profit after tax by 8.5% in FY26, 4.4% in FY27, and 4.2% in FY28, supported by a higher retail FUA mix of 88% versus 85% a year ago, which is margin accretive.

While the broker remains positive on the platform’s long-term growth and market share trajectory, valuation at around 70x 12-month forward PER is viewed as stretched relative to its historical average of 47x.

Hold rating retained with the target price raised to $114.95 from $104.30.

This report was published on October 29, 2025.

Target price is $114.95 Current Price is $116.53 Difference: minus $1.58 (current price is over target).
If HUB meets the Canaccord Genuity target it will return approximately minus 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $107.96, suggesting downside of -7.4%(ex-dividends)
The company’s fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY26:

At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 0.74%.

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

Taylor Collison’s industry checks at the Atrial Fibrillation Symposium in Adelaide reaffirmed strong clinical and commercial validation for Imricor Medical Systems’ real-time MRI-guided (iCMR) ablation platform.

Key opinion leaders highlighted the technology’s potential to expand from redo and VT ablations into first-line AF procedures, potentially doubling the addressable market to US$2bn.

The integration of Pulse Field Ablation (PFA) capabilities, supported by successful preclinical trials, underscores platform flexibility and positions Imricor Medical Systems ahead of the next ablation technology wave.

Clinician feedback continues to emphasise improved soft-tissue visualisation, lesion durability, and procedural safety as key differentiators driving adoption.

Outperform rating maintained with a $2.26 target price, rising to $3.76 under a higher AF market penetration scenario.

This report was published on October 21, 2025.

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

Commissioning of the 0.6Mtpa Andy Well processing plant was completed in June, with first gold poured in July and production set to rise in the December quarter.

An accelerated open-pit mining strategy has built a 178kt stockpile, de-risking the transition to underground operations and providing flexibility for a potential 1Mtpa plant expansion by end-2026.

Growth capex of -$22m was directed toward Turnberry and Andy Well developments, while cash and gold increased to $59.3m despite heavy investment.

Buy rating maintained with the target price revised to 33c from 34c.

This report was published on October 27, 2025.

Target price is $0.33 Current Price is $0.20 Difference: $0.13

Jarden has initiated coverage of Reece with a Neutral rating and $12.30 target price, highlighting long-term structural appeal in the US business but near-term headwinds from softer US housing and limited A&NZ margin recovery.

A&NZ margins remain constrained at a 12-year low of 31.8% amid intensifying competition from Tradelink, Bunnings Trade ((WES)), and Samios, limiting EBIT margin recovery to 8-10%.
