Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition - May 26, 2021

Daily Market Reports | May 26 2021

This story features 5G NETWORKS LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: 5GN

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.

5GN 5G NETWORKS LIMITED

Telecommunication – Overnight Price: $0.96

Wilsons rates ((5GN)) as Overweight (1) –

Due to the increase in profitability flowing through the model within 3Q21 financials, which included insights into the WebCentral business, Wilsons has increased the target price on 5G Networks to $2.11 from $1.96.

The company posted 3Q21 revenue of $26.5m and an earnings (EBITDA) margin of 18%. The Overweight recommendation is retained.

Underpinned by tight cost management and a refocus on “core, profit generating operations”, WebCentral's 3Q21 earnings of $3.2m improved significantly.

While rent reductions of $5.5m annualised was pleasing, Wilsons expects scope for further savings if current excess capacity in Melbourne is reduced.

The company cited ongoing margin growth as cloud, data centres and network services are consolidated within the company’s infrastructure as a driver of future growth. Two other growth drivers cited by 5G Networks include an additional $300,000/month of services/provisioning to be switched on over the next 3 months, and further data centre fibre build expansion.

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

Shaw and Partners finds Dubber Corp reported strong third quarter results with annual recurring revenue up 158% on the previous corresponding period to a total $34m.

The broker notes quarterly revenue of $6.6m was around 85% of annual recurring revenue, continuing a strong trend of revenue conversion.

This growth was driven by an acceleration of organic users delivered through telco penetration. Shaw and Partners estimates that for core products the company added an average of 450 users per telco and Dubber noted a pronounced acceleration of telco services moving to a cloud environment.

FCL FINEOS CORPORATION HOLDINGS PLC

Cloud services – Overnight Price: $3.68

Moelis rates ((FCL)) as Buy (1) –

While Moelis's short-term estimates remain largely unchanged, the broker reduces FY23 software sales forecasts for Fineos Corp by -3% to reflect lower sales velocity in FY21 to date.

Following the 3Q FY21 result, which suggests Fineos Corp is on track for upper end of guidance range of EUR102-105m, Moelis assumes sales conditions remain subdued across fourth quarter FY21 before picking up in first half of FY22 as general economic conditions improve.

Despite the pandemic-affected sales velocity in FY21, the broker still expects Fineos to execute on its significant long-term opportunity in Life, Accident & Health insurance.

Moelis suggests the -35% discount to peers in property and casualty on an adjusted EV/FY22 software sales basis provides valuation support.

Moelis maintains its Buy rating and the target price reduces to $4.74 from $4.77.

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

While Fineos Corp's 3Q21 report highlighted that activity remains strong, Shaw & Partners notes little was provided in the way of guidance on the pipeline and outlook for FY22.

Commenting on the result, Shaw notes FY21 total revenue is forecast to hit the upper end of guidance, with cloud revenue now 70% of total, a slight improvement in consultant utilisation, and two new client wins.

Shaw believes Fineos needs to win deals in the 2H21 and early in 1H22 in order to deliver the 29% Software growth the broker is
currently forecasting in FY22.

While Shaw sees the lack of pipeline visibility as frustrating, the broker does not believe this discredits a positive investment thesis over the longer term.

Shaw's investment thesis is based on Life Insurance being a big vertical – that has been slow to upgrade core systems – and that Fineos is proving itself as a market leader.

Buy rating and the target price of $5.30 remain unchanged.

FMG FORTESCUE METALS GROUP LTD

Iron Ore – Overnight Price: $21.72

Goldman Sachs rates ((FMG)) as Sell (5) –

Fortescue Metals had a weaker than expected March quarter, but Goldman Sachs expects a strong June quarter production to be forthcoming.

Weak results were attributed to lower realised prices on iron ore, down 5% quarter-on-quarter, and increased capital expenditure guidance, up 10% to US$3.5-3.7bn due to escalation on the Iron Bridge project.

Fortescue has predicted a ramp-up at the Eliwana project over the next six months, while technical and commercial evaluation continues at Iron Bridge, but Goldman Sachs predicts costs could further increase.

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

Based on Fortescue Metal Group's long track record of credible and successful operational delivery, Shaw & Partners regards the March quarter scorecard, which fell short of expectations across shipments and costs by -2% and -5% respectively, as a glitch.

FY21 guidance targets have been reset at the 1H21 financials to take account of AUDUSD pressures on costs and capex, but offsetting that a 1.4% increase in FY21 shipments to 178-180mt.

Given that Fortescue delivered 90mt in 1H21, and considering typical seasonality, Shaw expects this revised target to be met.

Shaw notes the Iron Bridge project review update due around late-May 2021 could infirm additional capex over runs and scope changes and likely revised (delayed) timeline.

Hold rating unchanged and price target $20.00.

GMA GENWORTH MORTGAGE INSURANCE AUSTRALIA LIMITED

Banks – Overnight Price: $2.73

Goldman Sachs rates ((GMA)) as No Rating (-1) –

Genworth Australia's first quarter underlying profit was at a run-rate well ahead of Goldman Sach's prior estimates, largely driven by lower-than-expected net claims incurred.

The broker highlights net insurance written (NIW) was up 17% year on year. The loss ratio improved, considered to reflect the benefit of strong house price appreciation over the quarter and improving economic conditions, offset by additional reserving.

The analyst adjusts FY22-23 earnings estimates by -4.8% and -8.3%, driven by weaker investment income and offset by lower net claims incurred. Goldman Sachs remains Not Rated on the company.

This report was published on April 30, 2021.

GOZ GROWTHPOINT PROPERTIES AUSTRALIA

Infra & Property Developers – Overnight Price: $3.76

Moelis rates ((GOZ)) as Buy (1) –

Moelis comments Growthpoint Properties Australia delivered a solid 3Q21 quarterly with a modest earnings upgrade resulting from leasing across 1.3% of portfolio income.

With occupancy at 96%, and a relatively manageable expiry profile, Moelis believes Growthpoint's income and distribution profile look relatively defensive.

With 100% of the industrial portfolio to be revalued at June 21, Moelis sees the current valuation as undemanding given the stock trades on an -8% discount to the broker's estimate of net tangible asset value of around $4.00.

The broker's sum-of-the-parts valuation increases to $4.00 and assumes around -50bps of compression to come through the industrial portfolio at the June valuation update.

The Buy rating remains with target price increasing to $4.02 from $3.80.

This report was published on April 30, 2021.

Target price is $4.02 Current Price is $3.76 Difference: $0.26

IEL IDP EDUCATION LIMITED

Education & Tuition – Overnight Price: $22.15

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

Goldman Sachs assesses there is an attractive long-term opportunity in IDP Education as the business is well positioned for the re-opening of international students markets. It's believed the key to the recovery is a bounce-back in student placement volumes.

The broker sees growth potential after noting less than 5% market share in the two key student placement multi-destination markets, the UK and Canada. The Buy rating and $29.90 target price are unchanged.

IELTS volumes have rebounded to pre-covid levels and the analyst sees a key catalyst in the potential restructure of the IELTS agreement. It's estimated this will provide the company with greater operational exposure from British Council.

This report was published on April 30, 2021.

IMR IMRICOR MEDICAL SYSTEMS INC

Medical Equipment & Devices – Overnight Price: $1.70

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

Imricor Medical Systems experienced covid-related headwinds in the first quarter, observes Bell Potter. There were no additions to the nine existing hospital customer sites and the key European target sites were subject to pandemic control measures.

The result slightly missed Bell Potter's expectations and the broker has downgraded its first-half revenue forecasts to account for an even softer product launch.

Management remains engaged with the distribution partner Philips which could help ramp sales once elective surgery volumes recover.

Moelis rates ((IMR)) as Buy (1) –

While timing around the resumption of procedures remains uncertain, Imricor Medical Systems' pipeline remains strong and the company expects new contracts to be signed in the second quarter 2021, with lab adoption accelerating in the second half.

First quarter 2021 cashflow was impacted by tighter covid restrictions, amd operating costs were US$4.3m, up from US$3.2m in fourth quarter 2020, largely due to increased staff costs, which was slightly higher than expected.

Moelis expects costs to stabilise at current levels for the next couple of quarters, and the company to exit 2021 with 35 signed hospital customers, with the vast majority being signed up in the second half.

Buy rating and target price of $2.95 remain unchanged.

JHG JANUS HENDERSON GROUP PLC.

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $49.53

Jarden rates ((JHG)) as Underweight (2) –

Janus Henderson Group reported decreased fund performance and minimal flows during the first quarter. The 3-year performance of quantitative equities decreased to its lowest levels in over four years.

Janus Henderson updated earnings per share guidance to US$0.91. This represents a 9.9% increase on Jarden's estimates and a 1.6% increase on consensus estimates.

The broker expects performance fees for FY21 to increase to $47m, up from a previous estimate of $37m, and net outflows to total -3.9bn, up from previously estimated -$3.7bn.

The Underweight rating is retained and the target price decreases to $43.90 from $44.10.

MCP MCPHERSON'S LIMITED

Health & Nutrition – Overnight Price: $1.41

Moelis rates ((MCP)) as No Rating (-1) –

Commenting on McPherson's FY21 trading update, Moelis notes Weak Dr LeWinn’s export sales overshadow domestic growth, with the company guiding to FY21 revenue in the range of $200-205m, underlying earnings (EBIT) of $10-13m, and underlying net profit of $6-8m.

Despite 3% growth in domestic owned brands (excluding the acquired Fusion and Oriental Botanicals brands), the sales and earnings decline expected in FY21 is driven by a significant reduction in Dr LeWinn’s sales to the company's China distributor ABM.

McPherson's expect FY21 China sales to fall to $8m in FY21 from $37m in FY20.

The broker also observes at $1.60/share the unsolicited non-binding indicative cash bid received from Arrotex – which remains subject to a number of standard conditions – represents a 19% premium to the Gallin Offer.

Moelis is restricted on McPherson's and as such does not have any earnings estimates, a target price or a rating.

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

Shaw & Partners regards McPhersons' earnings (EBIT) guide to $10-$13m in FY21, down -51% on the previous period and -36% versus prior consensus expectations, as a poor result. Its rating is downgraded to Sell from Buy.

With operating margins moving materially, reductions in revenues, lack of granularity on export performance and adverse run-rate earnings, Shaw believes confidence in near-term trajectory remains uncertain.

Following the downgrade and lack of clarity on various divisional earnings and the current channel position of Dr Lewinn’s, Shaw has downgraded earnings forecasts materially.

Shaw's target is set at $1.54, which is the broker's previous valuation prior to cyclical downgrade and slightly below the indicative offer.

Following the bid from Gallin earlier in 2H21, Arrotex has thrown it’s hat in the ring with an unsolicited, conditional takeover bid for the company. In Shaw's view there is potential for further interest to emerge beyond the two current bidders.

This report was published on April 30 2021.

Target price is $1.54 Current Price is $1.41 Difference: $0.13
If MCP meets the Shaw and Partners target it will return approximately 9% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

MGH MAAS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD

Building Products & Services – Overnight Price: $4.86

Moelis rates ((MGH)) as Downgrade to Hold from Buy (3) –

To reflect the acquisition of a quarry, concrete and plant hire business in Central Queensland, and a quarry in the New England region, NSW, Moelis' FY21 earnings estimate for Maas Group increases by 1% and FY22 earnings by 12%.

Moelis notes both businesses were acquired on a 3.5x enterprise value multiple. The broker believes the continued execution of Maas' strategy has contributed to its strong share price performance, up 103% since its IPO.

In the broker's view, the current valuation could be reflective of the strong growth outlook for Maas's Construction Materials division and thus higher weighting towards the sector average, or factoring in the potential for further acquisitions and/or better than expected organic growth.

The analyst moves to a Hold from a Buy rating with the target price increasing to $4.36 from $3.08.

This report was published on April 30, 2021.

Target price is $4.36 Current Price is $4.86 Difference: minus $0.5 (current price is over target).

MMI METRO MINING LIMITED

Coal – Overnight Price: $0.03

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

Shaw and partners observes Metro Mining's March quarter update offered no new information about necessary additional offtake agreements, but the company commented negotiations were progressing well.

The company needs to secure additional contracts to increase FY21 volume to 4m tonnes and move towards Shaw and Partners' target price of $0.15 per share.

Operations at Bauxite Hills restarted on April 14th after closing in September 2020 following the failure to secure any contracts beyond the foundation 2.4m tonne Xinfa contract.

The broker remains optimistic that positive news of an offtake agreement could see this stock double in price. The Buy rating and the target price of $0.15 are retained.

This report was published on May 3, 2021.

MMM MARLEY SPOON AG

Consumer Products & Services – Overnight Price: $2.52

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

Marley Spoon confirmed a strong first quarter, with revenue growing 81% over last year. Further, the company has upgraded 2021 revenue growth guidance to 30-35% from 25-30%.

The broker notes revenue retention for newer customer cohorts remains to track above earlier cohorts and has positive implications for longer-term unit economics.

The contribution margin declining by circa -150bps was a small blip but Wilsons believes the issues are largely transitory.

Overweight rating is retained with the target price rising to $3.85 from $3.48.

This report was published on April 30, 2021.

Target price is $3.85 Current Price is $2.52 Difference: $1.33

MSB MESOBLAST LIMITED

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $1.94

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

Mesoblast's trial investigating the use of remestemcel-L in the treatment of 222 covid patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome showed reduced mortality through 60 days for the under 65 years group.

Further, the benefit was increased when remestemcel-L was used in combination with the generic drug dexamethasone.

Bell Potter concludes the two drugs used in combination seem to have a highly synergistic effect in the reduction of inflammation associated with ARDS.

In the broker's view, the data provide a clear path forward for a registration study that will likely be funded by Novartis under the terms of the agreement struck between the two parties in November 2020.

Buy rating with the valuation lowered to $4.70 from $5.10.

This report was published on May 3, 2021.

NCM NEWCREST MINING LIMITED

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

Newcrest Mining's reported total gold production during the March quarter of 512koz at an all-in sustaining cost of US$891 per ounce.

Production was in line with Goldman Sachs' expectations and higher-than-expected all-in sustaining costs were attributed to increased costs at the Telfer project and a soft quarter from Red Chris.

The broker notes key growth projects Havieron and Red Chris continue to make significant steps and expects updates on both projects later in 2021.

The Buy rating is retained and the target price increases to $34.00.

This report was published on April 29, 2021.

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

Newcrest Mining confirmed production was on track to meet full year guidance. Shaw & Partners doesn't expect this be a big ask given the miner's year-to-date production run-rate.

With planned shutdowns at Cadia and Lihir completed in the March quarter, Shaw expects Newcrest to be able to deliver FY21 production towards the high end of range.

While group production is softer sequentially as foreshadowed due to planned shutdowns at Cadia and Lihir, Shaw notes improved production performances at Telfer were driven by higher throughput rates and gold recovery improvements.

The broker also points out March quarter production also includes 33koz from Newcrest's 32% stake in Lundin Gold.

Bell Potter upgrades its 2021-23 revenue forecasts by 3-8% and expects revenue of US$49.5m which is above the top end of the US$45-49m guidance range. The broker's upgraded ARR forecast at US$43.6m is above the top end of the US$39-42m guidance.

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

Given that it was not overly assisted by maintenance transitions, with a $2-3m benefit expected in FY21 likely to be evenly
distributed over the quarters, Shaw & Partner's regards Nitro Software's 1Q21 result as a strong underlying start to FY21.

Nitro delivered subscription annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth of 66% for 1Q21 versus growth of 41-52% implied in the guidance
range.

Shaw believes 1Q21 result validates Nitro's products as being post-covid relevant, and suggests management is managing the organisation model change and headcount expansion well.

Given the strong start to FY21, the maturing sales capacity, new product tailwinds and reducing risks around the organisational model change and macro uncertainty, Shaw believes the mid-point of guidance is looking increasingly conservative.

Shaw retains its Buy rating with the target price rising to $3.69 from $3.58 to reflect time creep and US$ mark-to-market.

ORG ORIGIN ENERGY LIMITED

NatGas – Overnight Price: $4.07

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

The Buy rating and $6.50 target are retained.

QBE QBE INSURANCE GROUP LIMITED

Insurance – Overnight Price: $10.86

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

Recent surveys in the US and early peer results suggest to Goldman Sachs first quarter premium rate increases remain at very supportive levels. Another favorable pricing outcome in the 1Q21/1H21 is expected.

In terms of crop insurance, the broker notes that while planting season has only just commenced, the steep rise in corn/soybean prices through recent months provides a clear tailwind to growth. Also, at current prices there's considered good protection to any slippage in yields.

The Buy rating and $10.73 target are retained.

RHP RHIPE LIMITED

Cloud services – Overnight Price: $1.81

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

Rhipe's third-quarter update saw first-half growth trends continue into the third quarter. Bell Potter notes mid-teen revenue growth combined with strong operating cost control has led to strong operating profit growth, up 36% over last year.

Revenue was up 15% while gross profit was up 13%. As a result, the company has upgraded its FY21 operating profit guidance to at least $18.0m from $17.5m.

Bell Potter believes Rhipe is in a position re-accelerate its top-line with business conditions improving across Asia. The broker has trimmed its operating cost assumptions leading to earnings forecast upgrades.

The broker expects another year of strong forecast growth in FY22. Buy rating is maintained with the target price rising to $2.60 from $2.50.

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

Rhipe has delivered Q321 results ahead of expectations and continued a near term trajectory of early earnings updates, which in Shaw & Partners' view are likely to continue.

Third quarter year-to-date operating profit of $13.2m was up 36%.

Rhipe has upgraded guidance from $17.5m to $18m in FY21, ahead of Shaw ($17.6m), and the broker suspects there is further upside risk.

Following the acquisition of EMT, Rhipe continues to enjoy a large net cash balance, which in Shaw's view provides significant dry powder to undertake further acquisitions.

Shaw expects further acquisitions in the next 6 months to add further accretion to a forecast organic growth pick-up. The broker also expects EPS to move higher from acquisitions and organic growth.

With one of the best balance sheets in the sector, further global partner upside and international arms (undervalued) to the business, Shaw believes Rhipe is a strategic player in cloud across APAC.

RMD RESMED INC

Medical Equipment & Devices – Overnight Price: $27.00

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

ResMed still sees new starts in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnoses down -10-30%, which implies to Goldman Sachs limited improvement through each of the last three quarters.

The broker believes the shortfall in mask growth in the third quarter may be symptomatic of the cumulative deficit in diagnoses through the last 12 months. If so, it's estimated to be several quarters before growth returns towards the three year quarterly average of 14%.

Additionally, the broker notes costs growing ahead of revenue is an unusual dynamic for the company. It's felt it may persist through to the fourth quarter FY22, depending on the shape of the recovery.

The Neutral rating is retained and the target lowered to $28.40 from $29.10.

Wilsons rates ((RMD)) as Downgrade to Market Weight from Overweight (3) –

Wilsons has downgraded its rating on ResMed despite new product cycles in the pipeline, as the company's strategy around the medical device business remains unclear.

The broker notes the AS11 product is unlikely to deliver market share gains similar to that achieved by the AS10 offering which drove an estimated 65% increase over five years. Further, Wilsons notes ResMed's device strategy is less clear given recent shifts towards the use of high-flow cannula rather than oxygen.

Despite this, ResMed did achieve group revenue of US$769m during the third quarter, only -3% down on Wilsons' forecast, as the core sleep business remains strong. The broker expects a stronger fourth quarter with the launch of a new flow generator platform.

The rating is downgraded to Market Weight and the target price decreases to $28.50 from $30.50.

Regis Resources pre-released March quarter production of 86,000 ounces of gold at an all-in sustaining cost of $1,388 per ounce.

Production was down -6% quarter-on-quarter due to an unplanned 100-hour shutdown for mill maintenance at the Garden Well project. Goldman Sachs expects gold production to improve in the fourth quarter as Rosemont underground mining ramps up.

Regis Resources' acquisition of a 30% stake in the Tropicana Gold project is expected to proceed to completion by end of May. The broker forecasts gold production of 450,000 ounces per annum for the asset with an average all-in sustaining cost of $1,450 per ounce.

St Barbara's March quarter gold production of 82,000 ounces was down -19% on Goldman Sachs' forecast, while the all-in sustaining cost of $1,649 per ounce was 25% higher than the broker's forecast.

The broker expects a 30% quarter-on-quarter production increase at the key Gwalia project through the fourth quarter.

The Simberi sulfide project has been given board approval to advance plant capacity to 3.0m tonnes per annum from 2.7m tonnes per annum.

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

Straker Translations' March quarter update showed revenues at NZ$9m with the gross margin expanding to 57.8% for the quarter. The unaudited revenue in FY21 at NZ$31.3m proved lower than Bell Potter's forecast of NZ$34m.

This result was a mixed bag for Bell Potter with core revenues being negatively impacted by lockdowns across Europe, offset by strong cost control, margin expansion and an indication that revenues from the global IBM deal are starting to ramp up.

The broker remains attracted to Straker Translations' long-term growth strategy driven by the company's ability to apply technology and machine learning to the translation process.

With the global IBM deal and LingoTek acquisition, Bell Potter sees FY22 as a significant inflection point for the company's growth profile.

Buy rating with a $2.15 target price.

Jarden rates ((WOW)) as Overweight (2) –

Jarden comments Woolworths reported a 0.4% increase in sales during the third quarter but showed surprisingly flat sales through April compared to Coles. Despite this, the company holds a strong market share in online groceries and the broker expects further gains through 2021.

The company announced a -$100m investment in a customer fulfillment centre to support online business growth which will be able to facilitate around 50,000 orders each week. Woolworths is also opening its fourth micro-fulfillment centre later this year.

Consumer trends are gradually normalising, with weekend shopping increasing, greater foot traffic and sales in metro stores, plus higher frequency and lower value basket shops.

The broker expects a response from Woolworths to Coles' ((COL)) re-established Down Down promotional program during May, but both companies have suggested pricing remains rational and a price war is unlikely.

Woolworths remains a key pick for Jarden. The Overweight rating is retained and the target price decreases to $43.00 from $44.00.
