Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Jul 08, 2020

Daily Market Reports | Jul 08 2020

This story features ADACEL TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: ADA

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.

Software & Services – Overnight Price: $0.55

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

Adacel Technologies has announced a contract win with the US army of around $4m. The broker forecasts strong earnings growth for FY21 and anticipates 4 systems contracts will also be completed.

The Bell Potter forecast is for FY21 earnings before tax of $6.6m, which is 65% greater than FY20. The broker has confidence in the forecast as the dollar value of the US army contract accounts for the majority of assumed contract wins.

Despite not paying a dividend in FY19, the broker anticipates both an interim and final dividend for the forecast period.

Buy rating maintained. Target price is $0.75. [Additional note: the broker raised its price target to $0.80 on July 7th]

ALU    ALTIUM LIMITED

Hardware & Equipment – Overnight Price: $34.20

Goldman Sachs rates ((ALU)) as Neutral (3) –

Altium expects below consensus FY20 revenue growth due to weaker trading in the last two weeks of June. This is attributable to rising covid-19 infection rates in the US and temporary closure of an office subject to the Beijing lock-down.

The broker expects delayed cash recognition due to Altium's 'buy now, pay later' payment option will impact H2 FY20, while a slower economy will defer any near-term material share price upside.

The broker reaffirms its Neutral rating with the target price reduced to $32.50 from $34.55.

This report was published on June 23, 2020.

Target price is $32.50 Current Price is $34.20 Difference: minus $1.7 (current price is over target).
If ALU meets the Goldman Sachs target it will return approximately minus 5% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

AMA    AMA GROUP LIMITED

Automobiles & Components – Overnight Price: $0.64

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

AMA Group has indicated that repair volumes are improving and should return to normal by the December quarter 2021. Additionally, the service agreement negotiation with Insurance Australia Group ((IAG)) has completed.

Bell Potter believes profit and cashflow expectations outperformed both market and management expectations.

No guidance was given by the company and the broker's forecasts are unchanged. However, there was a 6% increase in target price to $0.85 from $0.80 due to an updated valuation methodology.

This report was published on June 19, 2020.

Goldman Sachs rates ((AMA)) as Neutral (3) –

The broker has revised down expectations for debt levels, after AMA Group announced a trading update. However, the net debt is still elevated and balance sheet risks remain high.

On one hand, the update has allowed Goldman Sachs to no longer model for a FY21 equity raise, which was based on the potential for a debt covenant breach. On the other hand, AMA Group has traditionally derived growth via acquisitions, and with limited organic growth in the industry, the potential still remains for a capital raising.

The company expects repair volumes to recover to pre covid-19 levels by FY21 and announced an improved pricing outcome from negotiations with key insurance customers.

The Neutral rating is maintained. The target price is increased to $0.71 from $0.43.

This report was published on June 25, 2020.

Target price is $0.71 Current Price is $0.64 Difference: $0.07
If AMA meets the Goldman Sachs target it will return approximately 11% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY20:

Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY20 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 2.00 cents.

At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 16.00.

AMP    AMP LIMITED

Insurance – Overnight Price: $1.82

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

Bell Potter considers the pending sale of the life insurance business by June 30, 2020 significantly de-risks the business and removes the need for a capital raise. The funds may be deployed for a share buyback or to invest for growth.

The broker believes the company could now potentially be ripe for takeover or break-up.

Earnings have been upgraded by 0.6% for FY20, 4.3% for FY21 and 1.6% for FY22.

The Buy rating is maintained and the target is raised to $2.50 from $2.15

This report was published on 23 June, 2020.

Target price is $2.50 Current Price is $1.82 Difference: $0.68
If AMP meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately 37% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $1.68, suggesting downside of -7.6%(ex-dividends)

Commercial Services & Supplies – Overnight Price: $3.33

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

The US government is providing US$50m to allow Austal to expand its steel ship building capacity in Alabama. The company will invest an additional -US$50m over the next two years.

Goldman Sachs believes this will improve the ability of Austal to participate in future steel-related Navy programs, while reaffirming its existing aluminium hull expertise.

AX1    ACCENT GROUP LIMITED

Apparel & Footwear – Overnight Price: $1.38

Bell Potter rates ((AX1)) as Buy (1) –

Accent Group has provided a business update that reveals increased earnings, acquisition of many new online customers and the conclusion of successful negotiation with landlords.

Bell Potter considers it a strong update, which shows the company delivering on its business model and leaving it well placed to leverage off the trend toward online.

The broker provides some caution on the troublesome demand outlook as well as making allowances for the current wage support. However, earnings are significantly upgraded by 59% for FY20, 16% for FY21, followed by little change for FY22.

The Buy rating was maintained while the price target was raised to $1.80 from $1.45

This report was produced on June 25, 2020.

Target price is $1.80 Current Price is $1.38 Difference: $0.42
If AX1 meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately 30% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

BFC    BESTON GLOBAL FOOD COMPANY LIMITED

Dairy – Overnight Price: $0.08

PhillipCapital rates ((BFC)) as Buy (1) –

Beston Global Food Co has made the transition to an operating company from a food-related investment company. The dual focus is now on dairy and pre-cooked meats.

Phillip Capital pronounces the recent $10m capital raise, and intended use of funds, as a transformational event for the company and foresees a long-awaited profit by FY22.

The broker wrongly assumed that the recent sale of dairy farms to Aurora Dairies would preclude the need for raising capital. However, the analysts are pleased to see that gearing will be reduced to zero and that the company will now go for growth.

By adopting proven overseas technology and production methods, the company may effectively extract 4x times more Lactoferrin from the same quantity of milk. Hence, the rush is on to spend -$12m on stage 1 of upgrading its Lactoferrin plant, which will generate an additional $13.5m in revenue.

The broker points to very low PE ratios of 4.3x for FY22 & 3.0x for FY23. The analysts also highlight the company announcement on June 22 of a potential takeover bid.

The Buy rating is maintained. The target price is $0.16.

This report was published on June 25, 2020.

Target price is $0.16 Current Price is $0.08 Difference: $0.08
If BFC meets the PhillipCapital target it will return approximately 100% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY20:

PhillipCapital forecasts a full year FY20 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of minus 2.00 cents.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is minus 4.00.

Forecast for FY21:

PhillipCapital forecasts a full year FY21 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 0.30 cents.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 26.67.

BGL    BELLEVUE GOLD LTD

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $0.97

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

Bellevue Gold is a gold exploration company that owns the Bellevue gold project in Western Australia. Canaccord Genuity highlights it is the highest grade gold development project in Australia.

The company confirmed recoveries that are both exceptional and well in excess of industry benchmarks. For the first time, the company has set a timeline for commencement of underground drilling (in December, 2020).

A maiden Indicated Resource estimate is due in “coming weeks”. The broker is expecting it to be 550-650koz at 8-10g/t with good scope to grow to approximately 1 million oz by the end of 2020.

Canaccord Genuity believes the company is the most attractive and well-funded gold story across all their coverage.

Buy (speculative) rating is maintained. The target price is increased to $1.45 from $1.35.

This report was published on June 24, 2020.

Target price is $1.45 Current Price is $0.97 Difference: $0.48

CAT    CATAPULT GROUP INTERNATIONAL LTD

Medical Equipment & Devices – Overnight Price: $1.27

Bell Potter rates ((CAT)) as Hold (3) –

Bell Potter is concerned about the delay in recommencing sporting leagues in North America and the financial health of individual teams.

The broker sees more downside than upside risk in the coming FY20 result. There is potential for diminishing sales of units and churn above prior expectations.

Accordingly, Bell Potter downgrades earnings by -14.4% for FY20, -11.6% for FY21 and -8.4% for FY22. Hold rating maintained with target price decreased to $1.35 from $1.75.

This report was published on June 23, 2020.

CGF    CHALLENGER LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $4.63

Goldman Sachs rates ((CGF)) as Neutral (3) –

Challenger has raised $300m. The company plans to redeploy excess capital into higher yielding assets over time.

However, reduced Life net flows and falling rental income from rent holidays contributed to a softer guidance, toward the bottom half of $500-550m.

Goldman Sachs has downgraded FY20 normalised earnings per share by -3%, FY21 by -12% and FY22 by -14%.

The broker maintains its Hold recommendation with its target price reduced to $5.20 from $5.31.

This report was published on June 22, 2020.

Shaw and Partners rates ((CGF)) as Sell (5) –

In announcing a $300m capital raising, Challenger also highlighted the investing alternatives for achieving an increased-risk portfolio.

Another less favourable alternative, according to Shaw and Partners, is shoring up net annuity outflows which amounted to -$470m in April and May.

This would counter the possibility of forced selling of less liquid assets. This possibility was not mentioned by the management of the company but they did state the funds would not be invested immediately.

As the estimated loss for FY20 is similar to the end of March, the broker concludes that Challenger has not benefited from the rally in financial markets since.

Sell rating retained. Target price is $3.70

CKF    COLLINS FOODS LIMITED

Food, Beverages & Tobacco – Overnight Price: $9.46

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

The Collins Foods FY20 result revealed strength in Australia and relative weakness in Europe. Momentum in KFC Australia drove the result and this has continued in the first 7 weeks of the new financial year with comparative sales up 12%.

Canaccord Genuity states the European performance exceeded its forecast and will not act as an overall drag as the region accounts for less than 10% of group earnings pre-overheads.

The broker believes the Australian performance resulted from the switch to drive-thru and delivery from the reduced dining areas. The brand of KFC was also a strength.

A rapid change in strategy toward growth-by-acquisition (more likely in Europe) at the expense of organic rollout was highlighted by the broker.

The rating was upgraded to Buy from Hold. The target price increased to $9.75 from $7.50.

The report was published on June 30, 2020.

Target price is $9.75 Current Price is $9.46 Difference: $0.29

Wilsons rates ((CKF)) as Overweight (1) –

Collins Foods reported a net profit 5% above the previous corresponding period. Sales and margin improvements, along with a promising start to the financial year have led Wilsons to upgrade forecasts materially.

The broker considers that KFC Germany is building momentum and higher operating leverage may be imminent.

The balance sheet has sufficient capacity for acquisitions, however, the broker is supportive of the temporary delay in store rollout given the prevailing and upcoming capital commitments.

Taylor Collison rates ((DGH)) as Speculative Buy (2) –

Desane is a Sydney-based property investment and property development (residential and mixed-use) business, which has been listed on the ASX for over 30 years.

Having sold a major property in November 2018, the company has net cash of $7.1m and the ability to gear up its balance sheet.

The broker has performed a rental analysis of the existing portfolio and believes rental income is secure. There is also development upside for projects at various levels of completion.

FPH    FISHER & PAYKEL HEALTHCARE CORPORATION LIMITED

Medical Equipment & Devices – Overnight Price: $32.90

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

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare announced a strong finish to FY20, with second half sales up 18%. However, Goldman Sachs reminds us that FY20 finished nearly three months ago and prefers to concentrate on forward guidance.

First quarter FY21 has begun with Hospital hardware and Hospital consumables growing greater than 300% and 33% respectively, while Homecare growth has been greater than 4%. 

The broker lifts earnings forecasts based on increased covid-19 demand, largely in hospital hardware, which should drive greater and higher-margin consumables revenue, even in normal operating conditions.

The broker believes that FY21 management guidance will prove conservative due to growth at a higher and sustainable level. Contributing factors may be a broader acceptance of and application to other respiratory conditions and evidence that the initial demand surge in China has remained elevated. 

The broker forecasts a 20% increase in earnings (management has guided to 13%-18%). Recent history may be with the broker, as management guidance was upgraded four times last financial year.

Buy rating is maintained. Target price increased to $33.90  from $27.80.

Wilsons believe an improvement in trading for the core Auto business has been underway since May. Some peer confirmation has been provided by a trading update from Bapcor ((BAP)).

This is believed to be due to a combination of increased travel distance post-lockdown and Government support packages.

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

After a fourth quarter trading update that was materially better than forecast, Goldman Sachs expects stronger operating leverage in coming years.

The accelerating revenue, combined with recently expanded valuation metrics for the company’s peers, results in a material upgrade of earnings and valuation by the broker.

Goldman Sachs highlights the potential for a virtuous cycle, whereby consumer growth leads to artist growth, which fuels content growth, which leverages off a broadening product range, which in turn leads to more consumer growth.

The rating is upgraded to Buy from Neutral. The target price is increased to $2.35 from $0.75.

RFF    RURAL FUNDS GROUP

REITs – Overnight Price: $1.98

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

Rural Funds Group is a listed agricultural REIT that has a portfolio of assets focused on almond orchards, vineyards, cattle, cotton and macadamias.

The company is proposing to sell the Mooral orchard and using the proceeds to pay down debt and expand into cotton and cattle.

The company has previously been targeted by short sellers on the basis of inflated asset valuations. The broker believes this thesis may be proven incorrect, if like a prior sale in October 2018, Mooral is sold near book value.

In the cotton and cattle sector overall, the company has been investing in productivity improvements since 2016. From FY21, this should result in increased valuations and rentals.

The Buy rating is maintained. The target price is increased to $2.30 from $2.18.

This report was published on June 24, 2020.

Target price is $2.30 Current Price is $1.98 Difference: $0.32
If RFF meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately 16% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY20:

Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY20 dividend of 10.85 cents.
At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 5.48%.

RHP    RHIPE LIMITED

Cloud services – Overnight Price: $2.13

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

Bell Potter maintains that the company’s exposure to the cloud computing mega-trend, assisted by COVIDSafe-19, is continuing.

While leasing margins are contracting, the broker believes that market expectations have been lowered accordingly.

Bell Potter suggest a potential lift in the share price may result from either an outperformance in Japan or the deployment of cash toward an EPS-accretive acquisition.

The main downside risk is the company’s exposure to the small and medium enterprise segment in the event of an economic deterioration across all relevant geographies.

The broker maintains a Buy recommendation. The target is $2.30.

This report was published on June 23, 2020.

Target price is $2.30 Current Price is $2.13 Difference: $0.17
If RHP meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY20:

RIC    RIDLEY CORPORATION LIMITED

Agriculture – Overnight Price: $0.76

Wilsons rates ((RIC)) as Overweight (1) –

Ridley Corp has confirmed the commissioning, on time and on budget, of a new feedmill at Wellsford, near Bendigo in Victoria.

This allows the closure of the Moooroopna feedmill and the consolidation of its production and customers, while still retaining 70,000 tonnes of feed capacity at Wellsford. 

Wilsons continue to be cautiously optimistic about sustained earnings growth. The broker notes the core valuation of the business is $0.93, which is above the prevailing share price.

Overweight rating retained. Target price is $1.10

This report was published on June 29, 2020.

Target price is $1.10 Current Price is $0.76 Difference: $0.34

SHV    SELECT HARVESTS LIMITED

Agriculture – Overnight Price: $6.18

Bell Potter rates ((SHV)) as Upgrade to Buy from Hold (1) –

Bell Potter has analysed a scenario whereby Select Harvests purchases the Mooral Orchard, recently placed on the market by Rural Funds Group ((RFF)).

The company already has a part lease on the property. The broker believes $85m could secure both the property and the crop rights. This would generate low double digit EPS accretion, with upside coming from rental income or improvements to yield. Under this scenario FY20 gearing would increase by approximately 80%.

Although global markets have been volatile, the key investment thesis still remains for the broker. This includes slowing development acreage in California and compressing water costs, all as the existing acreage is maturing.

The Buy rating is maintained. The target price is $8.00.

This report was published on June 24, 2020.

Target price is $8.00 Current Price is $6.18 Difference: $1.82
If SHV meets the Bell Potter target it will return approximately 29% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in September.

Forecast for FY20:

Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY20 dividend of 19.00 cents and EPS of 37.80 cents.
At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 3.07%.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 16.35.

Forecast for FY21:

Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY21 dividend of 25.00 cents and EPS of 48.60 cents.
At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 4.05%.
At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 12.72.

SMP   

Overnight Price: $0.66

CCZ Equities rates ((SMP)) as Buy (1) –

Smartpay increased revenue by 34% to NZ$28.3m for FY20. This was largely due to a  recovery in transactions from the lockdown and a consequent swing away from cash and an increase in usage of SmartCharge terminals.

The result was largely the result of growth in revenue of 275% in the Australian business. Given the recent -NZ$15m capital raise,the broker believes the company is now well positioned to grow the company in Australia.

Although subsequently withdrawn, a recent NZ$70.0m bid was received for the New Zealand segment of the business. 

The broker values the New Zealand segment of the business at a -20% discount to the bid price, but firmly believes the business will be sold in the future. 

A Buy rating has been maintained, while the target price increased to NZ$0.76 from NZ$0.56.

This report was published on June 24, 2020.

Current Price is $0.66. Target price not assessed.
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY20:

Forecast for FY21:

VTH    VITALHARVEST FREEHOLD TRUST

Real Estate – Overnight Price: $0.79

Bell Potter rates ((VTH)) as Hold (3) –

Primewest ((PWG)) has purchased GoFarm Asset Management, the external manager of the VitalHarvest Freehold Trust. Separately, it has acquired a 11.8% stake in VTH with right of first refusal over another 6%.

VitalHarvest Freehold Trust will  soon be newly-branded as the Primewest Agri-chain Fund and will look to increase exposure to agriculture property assets.

Bell Potter is relatively less comfortable with diversification into infrastructure style assets, which impacts on the original investment thesis.

The broker cites recent share price appreciation in downgrading to Hold from Buy. Target is steady at $0.84.

This report was published on June 19, 2020.

Target price is $0.84 Current Price is $0.79 Difference: $0.05

YOJ   

Overnight Price: $0.08

Euroz rates ((YOJ)) as Speculative Buy (1) –

Yojee Limited focuses on developing a sharing- economy based logistics platform in the Aia-Pacific region.

The company processed 10,000 transactions on the first day of going live in the Philippines and the broker believes that if scale of transactions is achieved, margins of 50% are considered conservative.

A presentation by the company shows achievable revenue of $7.3m should the transactions per day increase to 100,000 per day.

Euroz states that validation of the platform by existing clients, including a leading logistics company, is important for ultimate success.

The Buy rating is maintained. The target price is $0.13.
