Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Jul 15, 2019

This story features APIAM ANIMAL HEALTH LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: AHX

An additional news report on the recommendation, valuation, forecast and opinion changes 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.

Medical Equipment & Devices – Overnight Price: $0.44

Shaw and Partners rates ((AHX)) as Buy (1) –

Apiam Animal Health has guided to lower-than-expected FY19 earnings, not long after publishing its third-quarter trading update, citing timing of Autumn rainfall, temperature changes, and a drier than expected fourth quarter.

Shaw and Partners downgrades FY19 earnings estimates accordingly. Target price falls to 80c.

The company has also increased its acquisition facility to $39m from $25m. The broker expects the company to resume purchasing mixed animal practices.

Shaw expects strong gross margins to persist in the long term and points to the Chinese sheep genetic project, and Apiam's US joint venture. The broker says the company has a strong platform in place which can now be leveraged to support more than 2x sales, and expects a re-rating of the stock.

The broker also expects an increase in domestic pig production given the impact of Swine fever in China and South East Asia. Buy rating retained.

Angel Seafood operates out of the pristine Eyre Peninsula in South Australia and will account for 20% of the state's oyster production in 2019.

The broker notes the company's investment in production facilities in Cowell (it also has facilities in Coffin Bay) has coincided with strong local supply of Oyster spat, de-risking supply; strong domestic and Asian market; and opportunities for acquisitions as generational ownership changes hands. 

The broker expects FY20 revenue to double on 2019 (the company listed in 2018).

Steel & Scrap – Overnight Price: $11.83

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

The broker updates mark-to-market steel price and spread forecasts, and rolls forward its BlueScope Steel valuation. Target price is $13.52, the broker noting the company is trading at a -20% discount to global peers.

JLG    JOHNS LYNG GROUP LIMITED

Building Products & Services – Overnight Price: $1.47

Moelis rates ((JLG)) as Initiation of coverage with Buy (1) –

Moelis Australia initiates coverage of Johns Lyng Group with a Buy rating.

The company is a long-standing market leader in insurance building and restoration services and the only ASX-listed integrated provider of these services.

The broker notes the company has a highly scaleable national platform with more than 5,500 sub-contractors nationwide and has been experiencing organic growth and stable margins.

The broker sees potential domestic and international expansion for the company, particularly in NSW and Queensland after entering an insurance deal with CHU, and expects the company's proprietary software will enhance contractor, supplier and client loyalty.

Add to that low gross debt, population growth and coastal migration, and the fact that the company generated return on equity of 53% in FY18 (not likely to be sustained in FY19), and the picture is complete.

Target price kicks off at $1.67.

This report was published on July 10, 2019.

MFD    MAYFIELD CHILDCARE LIMITED

Childcare – Overnight Price: $0.97

Canaccord Genuity rates ((MFD)) as Initiation of coverage with Buy (1) –

Cannaccord Genuity initiates coverage of Mayfield Childcare with a Buy rating, believing recent guidance may be conservative.

The broker notes the company is the only childcare operator with 21 centres located in Melbourne's growth corridors, and is forecasting earnings per share growth of 10% and 12% over calendar years 2019 and 2020. 

The company is trading at a -50% discount to peers and the broker believes the weakness is overdone given the company trades at an attractive yield and offers low-risk growth.

The broker likes Mayfield Childcare's alternative strategy of purchasing existing businesses, which offers lower risk organic growth; and its contained Victorian profile. Target price is $1.40.

This report was published on July 11, 2019.

NBL    NONI B LIMITED

Apparel & Footwear – Overnight Price: $2.71

Wilsons rates ((NBL)) as Buy (1) –

Noni B's trading update, released on Friday, has triggered reductions to forecasts but Wilsons remains undeterred in its positive outlook, arguing it has been further "encouraged", thus retaining the Buy rating.

This company remains well-placed for continued earnings growth, suggest the analysts. Projected EPS growth for FY20 is no less than 105% (after a negative year in FY19) while estimated dividend yield on FY20 forecasts is 8.2%.

PTM    PLATINUM ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $4.81

Bell Potter rates ((PTM)) as Downgrade to Sell from Hold (5) –

Bell Potter has downgraded Platinum Asset Management to Sell from Hold, noting markets continue to value growth stocks over value investing, which is resulting in a decline in net-flows (-$544m in the past quarter alone).

The MSCI Global Index gained about 16% in the second half of the financial year, but the company's funds under management rose less than 3% during that period due to relative underperformance, negative outflows and distributions.

While the tide will eventually turn in Platinum Asset Management's favour, the broker believes the company's trading multiple is too high to justify waiting.

Earnings-per-share forecasts fall -1.5%, -10% and -13% across FY19, FY20 and FY21.

Target price falls to $4.22 from $4.72.

This report was published on July 10, 2019.

QMS    QMS MEDIA LIMITED

Out of Home Advertising – Overnight Price: $0.85

E.L. & C Baillieu rates ((QMS)) as Buy (1) –

Analysts at Baillieu have updated their modeling, while still not incorporating the proposed deal with MediaWorks in New Zealand. Baillieu remains positive as company management has been busy of late and industry conditions remain favourable.

The company has changed its financial year. Baillieu predicts strong growth for the six months to June 30th, largely because of the inclusion of the TGI acquisition. One secondary reason to stick with the Buy rating is because the shares are trading at a sizeable discount to peer oOh!media ((OML)).
