Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Oct 05, 2021

This story features ALPHA HPA LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: A4N

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.

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

Shaw and Partners increases its price target to $1.25 from $1.07 and retains its Buy rating following in-line FY21 results. Taking into account problematic international supply chains and a volatile east coast operating environment, it’s thought the result was strong.

ALU    ALTIUM

Hardware & Equipment – Overnight Price: $34.40

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

Following FY21 results, Bell Potter feels the shift to term licenses has impacted upon the fall in earnings (EBITDA) margin, (including TASKING), to 36.1% versus the guidance range of 37-39%.

Part of the earnings miss from continuing operations was driven by a number of one-off factors including M&A costs, a write-back and restructuring costs, explains the analyst. The Hold rating is unchanged. 

The 21cps final dividend bettered the broker's 19cps estimate and was unexpectedly partially franked. Bell Potter modestly downgrades earnings and profit forecasts and reduces a valuation metric to arrive at a target price of $32.50, down from $35.

This report was published on August 31, 2021.

Target price is $32.50 Current Price is $34.40 Difference: minus $1.9 (current price is over target).

Following FY21 results, Shaw and Partners reiterates the combination of ESG tailwinds and the opportunity for the Calciner technology remains very positive. The Buy rating and $4 target price are unchanged.

The analyst estimates lower future earnings, reflecting an increased rate of investment in the business though remains comfortable, as long as the aim is to commercialise the technology. Moreover, the increased spend was largely covered via product sales and grants.

A strong pipeline of additional catalysts over the next 12 months is expected to support a further re-rating, notes the broker.

DDH    DDH1 LIMITED

Mining Sector Contracting – Overnight Price: $1.24

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

Bell Potter assesses a strong FY21 result, with drilling revenues growing 17.3% year-on-year. This occurred from a combination of drill rig fleet growth, higher-than-forecast revenue per shift and expanding utilisation. Current utilisation is in the mid-80%'s.

After implied second half utilisation of around 79.5%, according to the analyst, momentum has continued into FY22. There was a slightly lower earnings (EBITDA) margin, due to higher costs from covid and labour, notes the broker.

The final fully franked dividend was 2.18cps versus Bell Potter's estimate of 1.9cps. It's thought rates will increase in FY22 due to high demand, constrained rig supply, and tight labour. The target rises to $1.48 from $1.45 and the Buy rating is unchanged.

Shareholder approval has been obtained for Ganfeng to progress with its 50% acquisition of the Goulamina lithium project.

Euroz Hartleys believes this lithium asset has been largely ignored by the market, meaning it is one of the cheapest developments ready, conventional lithium projects on ASX.

Iron Ore – Overnight Price: $14.40

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

Apart from a dividend miss ($2.11) versus Bell Potter's estimate of $2.40, the FY21 result was largely in-line. The earnings (EBITDA) margin rose to 73% in FY21 from 65% in FY20, on cost control, iron ore pricing and a record operational performance, notes the broker.

The broker lifts its rating to Buy from Hold. It's thought a key support for the share price are the elevated fully franked dividends, supported by operating cash flow and profitability.

The company has guided to at least 20% growth in FY22, which highlights a resumption of book growth and operating leverage, Jarden asserts. The broker considers guidance conservative and retains a Buy rating with a $3.30 target.

This report was published on August 31, 2021.

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

Following FY21 results, Bell Potter maintains its Hold rating and $3.725 target price, predicated on a successful takeover by Brazilian meat processor JBS. The Hold rating is unchanged.

Operating losses of -$37m were modestly higher than the broker expected. Management expects the retail channel to lift to around 32%, and spot export sales to fall to circa 20% of FY22 volumes. Also, costs are forecast to be at less than $9.50/kg ex-freight.

Stronger broker forecasts for pricing and channel mix are offset by forecast earnings downgrades and weaker production.

This report was published on August 31, 2021.

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

FY21 sales were ahead of Goldman Sachs' estimates. International earnings were also ahead while Australia missed forecasts. Overall, the broker makes slight changes to underlying sales and margin forecasts.

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

FY21 results were ahead of Jarden estimates. Still, the broker was disappointed with the dividend and the soft cash flow. The trading update for the start of FY22 was also weaker than expected.

FY22 estimates are reduced by -5% to reflect weaker trading and the slower rolling out of stores in Asia over the short term. The broker envisages growing risk to the Australasian businesses as competition accelerates.

The main catalyst is capital management, considered likely when economies re-open and working capital normalises, albeit this is probably after the first half. Underweight maintained. Target is reduced to $5.40 from $5.60.

This report was published on August 31, 2021.

IGO    IGO LIMITED

Nickel – Overnight Price: $8.65

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

FY21 results were in line with expectations. FY22 guidance for Nova is unchanged with 27-29,000t of nickel expected at cash costs of $2.40-2.80/lb.

Goldman Sachs notes no update was provided around the preliminary's discussions with Western Areas ((WSA)). The broker updates estimates to reflect increased nickel price forecasts.

IVC    INVOCARE LIMITED

Consumer Products & Services – Overnight Price: $11.88

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

Due to lockdowns, Bell Potter reduces average revenue per funeral (ARPF) assumptions, despite a slight beat for first half results. However, as the business is performing well, the analyst lifts valuation assumptions and raises the target price to $13.80 from $12.20.

The broker points out a strong focus on costs enabled positive operating leverage on improving revenue. Pet cremations were considered ahead of expectations and all business segments grew.

Management expects a likely short-term impact on ARPF and sales opportunities at memorial parks though a minimal winter flu season is expected in Australia.

Moelis rates ((IVC)) as Upgrade to Buy from Hold (1) –

Moelis lifts its target price to $13.77 from $11.57 after first half operating earnings (EBITDA) beat expectations. A 6.7% increase in pricing on the previous corresponding period was thought largely responsible, along with margin expansion in Funerals and Cem/Crem.

For the latter, the analyst highlights business burials and memorialisations were up 9.7% and 12%. Management expects a renewed lockdown-induced softening of conditions, which should affect case average and sales at memorial parks in the short term.

The analyst feels the strong result should represent the nadir of the operational turnaround and upgrades its rating to Buy from Hold.

This report was published on August 31, 2021.

Target price is $13.77 Current Price is $11.88 Difference: $1.89

In this area, Product revenue growth will be dependent upon approval timing, with management having met all of the FDA’s requirements, highlights the analyst. 

The demand for covid rapid antigen tests is expected to last though delays to FebriDx approval could weaken first half FY22 results, cautions the broker.

MCR    MINCOR RESOURCES NL

Nickel – Overnight Price: $1.28

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

FY21 results were as expected by Shaw and Partners. The Hold rating and $1.14 target price are unchanged. It’s thought the progress of the Kambalda project is now largely reflected in the share price, unless current nickel price strength is sustainable.

At spot nickel prices the analyst’s valuation increases to $1.46. Additional upside is considered to depend upon mine life extensions from resource upgrades and the strategic appeal of the Kambalda project.

This report was published on August 31, 2021.

The broker has become increasingly optimistic, expecting upgrades to the FY22 outlook.

Obstacles in the short term are recent litigation efforts by Zimmer and Irramax, but the broker interprets this to mean certain peers feel threatened by the increased attention the company has received for its technology. Hold rating and $1.70 target maintained.

While Regis Healthcare's full-year underlying earnings of $73.5m were a -10% miss on Moelis' forecasts, the broker is forecasting underlying earnings of $147m for FY22. Moelis noted $7.1m in expenses related to employee underpayments drove the earnings miss.
