Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Apr 21, 2022

This story features 29METALS LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: 29M

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.

BOQ    BANK OF QUEENSLAND LIMITED

Banks – Overnight Price: $8.00

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

While Bank of Queensland's first half results were above expectations, with cash profit up 14% year-on-year, Jarden notes the beat was supported by one-off benefits and lower bad debts in the period.

Positively, targeted medium-term synergies from the ME Bank acquisition have been upgraded by $15m to more than $95m in FY24, while the bank looks on track to achieve synergies at the top end of its $30-$34m target range in FY22.

The broker remains cautious on the bank given it has less leverage to a rising cash rate than peers, but notes Bank of Queensland still offers three-year 6% pre-provision operating profit growth at a relatively undemanding valuation.

The Overweight rating is retained and the target price decreases to $9.20 from $9.50.

This report was published on April 19, 2022.

Target price is $9.20 Current Price is $8.00 Difference: $1.2

Following a 4Q operations update by hardware-enabled SaaS company EROAD, Bell Potter adjusts its FY22-24 EPS estimates by 0.4%, -6.0% and -7.1%, respectively.

These adjustments follow a small unit beat versus the broker's forecast and foreign exchange rate movements, along with lower assumptions for medium-term unit growth and average revenue per user (ARPU). The target falls to $5.00 from $5.95.

Net contracted unit growth for the quarter was a miss versus the analyst's forecast, driven by North America and Australia, though it's thought unit churn issues may be lessening. The Buy rating is maintained.

While the departure of the founder has caused uncertainty, Bell Potter believes a new CEO will be appointed in the next few months. It's understood the departure is not related to ongoing operations.

TNT    TESSERENT LIMITED

IT & Support – Overnight Price: $0.17
