Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Dec 13, 2018

This story features ADX ENERGY LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: ADX

This news story was initially published on 7 December 2018 with various optical errors caused by technology. Today’s re-publication removes these technological flaws.

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.

ADX    ADX ENERGY LIMITED

Overnight Price: $0.01

Breakaway Research rates ((ADX)) as Buy (1) –

ADX Energy has three oil and gas assets in Italy, Romania and Tunisia, all of which appear technically and economically feasible and are third party verified. The company is facing financial constraints but has managed to secure funding in respect of Romania and Italy. If imminent farm-out in Tunisia is successful the company will have a three well drilling program in 2019, which should materially support its development plans and catalyse the share price, suggests Breakaway.

Drilling offshore at Dougga in Tunisia is the appraisal of a discovered resource and if successful could trigger a large gas project. Breakaway Research's current valuation of around 9c is based on Tunisian and Romanian activity, but there is substantial upside, to circa 32cps, if Italy is ratified.

The analysts believe the equity market is pricing ADX's resources too cheaply. Farm-out success should bring capital and industry endorsement and drilling activity should underpin value and provide market catalysts in 2019. Buy rating maintained.

This report was published on 29th November 2018.

Target price is $0.09 Current Price is $0.01 Difference: $0.08
If ADX meets the Breakaway Research target it will return approximately 800% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Moelis rates ((AHG)) as Hold (3) –

At its recent trading update Automotive Holdings downgraded FY19 underlying NPAT to be in the range of $56-59m, a -10% downgrade to consensus. The bulk of the downgrade comes from Automotive and is mainly due to deteriorating east coast trading conditions together with no signs of improvement in the WA market.

Moelis believes trading conditions could still get worse especially in NSW and Victoria as the property market slows. The broker has reduced its FY19 to FY21 earnings per share forecasts by -9-11%.

Target price drops to $1.82 to reflect the company's high levels of gearing and the downside risk. Hold rating maintained.

This report was published on 26th November 2018.

AIS    AERIS RESOURCES LIMITED

Copper – Overnight Price: $0.17

Bell Potter rates ((AIS)) as Buy (1) –

Bell Potter initiates coverage with a Buy rating and $0.23 target price. Aeris Resources' primary asset is the 100% owned Tritton copper operation in NSW, consisting of two underground mines producing around 1.6mtpa of ore for around 25ktpa copper in concentrate.

Production guidance for FY19 is for 24,400 tonne copper in concentrate at a cash cost of $2.75-2.90/lb. This makes Aeris a relatively high cost producer and as such its financial performance is highly leveraged to the copper price, the broker notes.

Bell Potter believes Aeris is well placed to become the next mid-tier copper producer on the ASX through its Tritton operations and potential for exploration success at the Torrens JV.

This report was published on 30th November 2018.

Target price is $0.23 Current Price is $0.17 Difference: $0.06

APE    AP EAGERS LIMITED

Automobiles & Components – Overnight Price: $6.33

Moelis rates ((APE)) as Hold (3) –

At its recent trading update AP Eagers provided softer earnings guidance than Moelis had expected. This was mainly due to lower property sales and a lower dividend from Automotive Holdings ((AHG)), this despite APE increasing its stake in the period.

Management guided to reported pre-tax profit of $126-130m in 2018, lower than that reported in 2017. Management also noted that profit from its core car and truck retailing businesses will be slightly ahead of the previous corresponding period.

Moelis has downgraded its 2018-20 earnings per share forecasts by -3-9%. The broker prefers to sit on the fence at this time until the full impact of the flex commission ban across November and December is known.

Hold rating maintained and target price reduced to $7.75 from $8.20.

This report was released on 28th November 2018.

Target price is $2.95 Current Price is $3.70 Difference: minus $0.75 (current price is over target).

Coal – Overnight Price: $2.91

Bell Potter initiates coverage with a Buy rating and $4.10 price target. The company is a pure-play metallurgical coal producer supplying customers in the Americas, Europe and Asia with sales of almost 22mt in 2018.

The broker believes the stock will have a high dividend yield, forecasting 16% in 2019. With mature assets and no major growth capex forecast, the broker expects high earnings to free cash flow realisation.

Continued strength in met coal markets is supported by constrained supply and persistent demand, and the broker believes the company's challenge will be to demonstrate to the market the significant increase in Curragh's value since its acquisition in 2017.

This report was published on 29th November 2018.

Target price is $4.10 Current Price is $2.91 Difference: $1.19

Sports & Recreation – Overnight Price: $2.55

Canaccord Genuity rates ((KMD)) as Upgrade to Buy from Hold (1) –

The broker notes Kathmandu has started the year well from a sale perspective, suggesting last year's trend of lower sales growth and better margins due to reduced clearance stock have now normalised.

MNY    MONEY3 CORPORATION LIMITED

Business & Consumer Credit – Overnight Price: $1.56

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

Money3's AGM confirmed a continuation of growth in auto lending volumes, as the company deploys capital from the $50m funding tranche accessed in May.

Canaccord believes the stock was unfairly sold off following the Senate review into consumer lending and notes the company has already outlined plans to exit SACC lending, therefore there should be no additional impact on earnings.

The broker retains a Buy rating and raises the target price to $2.49 from $2.45.

This report was issued on 27th November 2018.

Shaw and Partners rates ((MNY)) as Hold (3) –

Stockbroker Shaw witnessed the company issuing "strong" guidance for the year at the AGM, alongside a positive trading update. None of it was unexpected.

The analysts remain of the view the shares look "cheap". The Hold rating remains in place because there is a Senate enquiry, with the analysts suggesting it's probably best to await outcomes and potential negative market sentiment.

For investors who dare to look through these issues, Shaw seems convinced here lays an opportunity to make a "significant return", once clean air announces itself. Target $2.31.

This report was released on 28th November 2018.

This report was published on 27 November 2018.

Apparel & Footwear – Overnight Price: $2.81

Wilsons rates ((NBL)) as Buy (1) –

Noni B's trading update on November 22nd revealed that year to date like-for-like sales were down -5% year-on-year, but its $30m cost efficiency program is tracking well ahead of schedule. An additional $20m of cost efficiencies have been identified and will be 50% realised in the second half of FY19.

As a result, the five speciality fashion brands acquired in July 2018 are expected to be EBITDA positive in FY19. Wilsons has raised EBITDA forecasts for FY19 and FY20 by 5.3% and 7.1% respectively.

Difficult trading conditions have continued into the first half of FY19 but the broker believes most of the decline is the result of management trying to reset its brand quickly. This should ultimately result in more favourable trading performances in FY20 and beyond.

RWC    RELIANCE WORLDWIDE CORPORATION LIMITED

Building Products & Services – Overnight Price: $4.51

Goldman Sachs rates ((RWC)) as Initiation of coverage with Buy (1) –

Goldman Sachs initiates coverage with a Buy rating and $5.40 price target. The company is the world's largest manufacturer of push-to-connect plumbing fittings and currently has an 11% share of the US market.

Since its peak in August 2018, the company's share price is down -27% versus a -9% decline for the ASX200. The broker attributes this to slowing housing activity in the company's three key geographies.

However, the broker believes the current share price weakness offers investors positively skewed risk-reward given the products have limited exposure to new housing, particulary in the US where demand is driven by repair and maintenance, and accelerated expansion in Europe through the acquisition of John Guest.
