Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Jul 09, 2021

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

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.

Transportation & Logistics – Overnight Price: $4.85

JP Morgan rates ((QAN)) as Overweight (1) –

REH    REECE LIMITED

Furniture & Renovation – Overnight Price: $23.16

JP Morgan rates ((REH)) as Underweight (5) –

In the Building Materials sector, Reece is JP Morgan's least-preferred pick. It's believed growth from here will be more linked to market rates, as branch network density limits greenfield opportunity, and M&A is difficult, due to significant share.

While there is ample scope to grow the position in the US over time, the US market is highly competitive with pure-play wholesale distributors and big box stores all fighting for share, explains the broker.

JP Morgan rates ((SYD)) as Neutral (3) –

Sydney Airport is the least-preferred pick by JP Morgan for the Transport and Infrastructure sector. While the domestic travel recovery is on-track, international passengers are key to a meaningful earnings rebound.

The broker's list of negatives includes the company is expected to become a tax-paying entity in 2024 and its inter-entity loan will reset upon expiry in late 2023. Also, the opening of Western Sydney Airport will likely restrict passenger growth around its expected opening in 2026.

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

Supported by tightening supply demand domestically and offshore, and a 25% increase in salmon export prices in AUD terms, from the lows at the end of first half 2021, Goldman Sachs believes the operating environment is improving in FY22 for Tassal Group.

The broker expects a recovery in domestic wholesale and export markets as demand in these channels returns to pre-covid levels.
