Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition - Apr 14, 2022

Daily Market Reports | Apr 14 2022

This story features AUSSIE BROADBAND LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: ABB

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.

ABB AUSSIE BROADBAND LIMITED

Telecommunication – Overnight Price: $5.55

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

Aussie Broadband's acquisition of Over The Wire has completed, with Shaw and Partners noting the purchase looks to be $35m earnings accretive in FY23, and that the addition of Over The Wire's management to the Aussie Broadband team adds to the company's growth expertise.

Completion of the deal drives 18%, 38% and 42% increases to Shaw and Partners' earnings per share forecasts through to FY24. The broker sees potential for further acquisitions for Aussie Broadband, particularly within the business segment.

The Buy rating is retained and the target price increases to $6.71 from $6.46.

AKE ALLKEM LIMITED

New Battery Elements – Overnight Price: $13.26

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

Canaccord Genuity reviews the battery supply chain sector after Europe surpassed 20% penetration for electric vehicles (EV) in 2021, selling 2.2m compared with 8.3m combustion engine cars, suggesting a rapid escalation in EV sales pending supply chain issues.

The broker's modelling suggests a sharp kick-up in penetration in the four years after EV penetration when a country passes the 20% mark, building to a "tsunami".

Norway has reached 86% EV penetration and Canaccord Genuity believes the focus is now shifting to Germany, UK, France, Italy and Spain (GUFIs), which account for 80% of all vehicles sold in Europe.

The European Battery Alliance announced its plan to invest E127bn in the battery supply chain at the end of 2021 and another E925m to battery research projects by 2027.

The broker reports the European Strategic Action Plan has been updated and is targeting 1 terrawatt of battery demand by 2030 and outlines domestic target for cell making (90%); domestic active materials (40%) and recycling (100%). Meanwhile punitive regulations on vehicle emission are expected to rise, which the broker expects will be sufficient to accelerate the shift.

Allkem is one of the broker's key picks in the lithium space given its leverage to the lithium price and its business model.

Buy rating retained. Target price was listed at $16 in the report but has since been updated to $18 on April 11.

This report was published on April 4, 2022.

Target price is $18.00 Current Price is $13.26 Difference: $4.74

AMP AMP LIMITED

Insurance – Overnight Price: $1.05

Jarden rates ((AMP)) as Neutral (3) –

Jarden makes negative investment mark-to-market earnings revisions across its insurance and diversified financial equities coverage, due to geopolitical tensions and increased expectations for interest rate rises.

Weaker markets weighed on funds under administration (FUA) for the wealth managers, points out the analyst.

The broker believes the risk of an inflated consensus EPS offsets demerger value catalysts for AMP and retains a Neutral rating and $1.10 target price.

This report was published on April 13, 2022.

Target price is $1.10 Current Price is $1.05 Difference: $0.05

AWC ALUMINA LIMITED

Aluminium, Bauxite & Alumina – Overnight Price: $1.90

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

Goldman Sachs upgrades 2022 EPS estimates for the mining sector by more than 10% to the top end of most company guidance based on strong spot commodities prices.

The broker warns that recent strong price movements will be partly offset by rising operating and capital expenditure given cost inflation.

The broker expects inflation will outpace most consensus estimates and suspects that while there may be some negative surprises, commodity-price strength will win the day.

Goldman Sachs commodities team forecasts a primary aluminium deficit of -2.2MT in 2022 but is less optimistic on alumina given swing supply and refinery restarts in China and new refining capacity in Indonesia. Goldman Sachs expects this will offset supply disruptions from Russian sanctions.

Alumina Ltd is rated Neutral on valuation. Target price eases to $2.10 from $2.20.

The broker cuts EPS forecasts -1% in FY22; -6% in FY23 and -2% in FY24 in response on higher alumina and aluminium costs and concerns that gas-price inflation in Europe may affect the San Ciprian refinery in Spain. The broker also spies cash flow headwinds.

BHP BHP GROUP LIMITED

Bulks – Overnight Price: $51.78

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

Goldman Sachs upgrades 2022 EPS estimates for the mining sector by more than 10% to the top end of most company guidance based on strong spot commodities prices.

The broker warns that recent strong price movements will be partly offset by rising operating and capital expenditure given cost inflation.

The broker expects inflation will outpace most consensus estimates and suspects that while there may be some negative surprises, commodity-price strength will win the day.

Goldman Sachs commodities team remains bullish on copper and doubles its market-deficit forecast for 2022, as disruptions in Chile and Russia combine with a recovery in Chinese demand and imports, and rising green capital expenditure.

On the iron-ore front, the team spies upside risk as low supply offsets lower than forecast Chinese steel production, thanks to the Ukraine War and seasonal weakness in Australia and Brazil due to wet weather. The team also expects an easing in Chinese policy and a recovery in Chinese steel production.

The analyst runs these numbers following recent media speculation of interest in Brambles from from private capital⁄infrastructure investors.

INA INGENIA COMMUNITIES GROUP

Aged Care & Seniors – Overnight Price: $4.97

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

Ingenia Communities has downgraded earnings (EBIT) growth guidance to between 5% and 10% above FY21, compared with previous guidance of between 20% and 25% growth, but Goldman Sachs believes this merely represents a delay rather than a fundamental deterioration.

The broker believes the company represents a good inflation hedge and that Land Lease demand is strong enough to combat a moderate decline in house prices without suffering from settlement or margin pressure, thanks to favourable ageing population demographics and affordable housing issues.

Goldman Sachs revises down EPS forecasts -1% to -2% for FY22 and FY23, as timing delays on home settlements spill into FY23.
