Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – May 09, 2022

Daily Market Reports | May 09 2022

This story features ADORE BEAUTY GROUP LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: ABY

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.

ABY    ADORE BEAUTY GROUP LIMITED

Household & Personal Products – Overnight Price: $1.45

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

Adore Beauty was able to provide Q3 results slightly above Shaw and Partners expectations, despite elevated numbers a year earlier and significant reinvestment into new channels.

AD8    AUDINATE GROUP LIMITED

Hardware & Equipment – Overnight Price: $5.63

Canaccord Genuity rates ((AD8)) as Buy (1) –

Audinate Group's Q3 FY22 trading update showed revenues were tracking ahead of Canaccord Genuity's forecasts and the impact of chip shortages were not impacting as much as expected.

The broker thinks the market will continue to focus on the supply-chain/chip availability as a constraint on growth. Audinate Group's order backlog remains at record levels, estimated as in excess of US$25m, which is expected to be cleared in Q4 FY22/FY23.

Management noted the Chinese lockdowns are a key risk for manufacturing production, particularly in the first half of FY23.

Canaccord Genuity has increased revenue and earnings forecasts. The price target was reduced to $8.00 from $9.00 as a higher discount rate has been applied to the valuation model.

A Buy rating is maintained.

Shaw and Partners rates ((AD8)) as Buy (1) –

Audinate Group's Q3 FY22 trading update was "rather surprisingly" positive according to Shaw and Partners.

Chip shortages peaked in January and February, with supply bouncing back in March, resulting in strong trading conditions in April.

Gross margin has been maintained and the chip inventory is now positive.

Shaw and Partners noted the improved ability for Audinate Group to be able to fulfill orders due to the rising supply of chips is being offset by manufacturing risks in China with covid lockdowns.

The broker's forecasts remain unchanged and the stock is rated a Buy; one to own for the long-term, suggests Shaw. Target $11.75.

ALC    ALCIDION GROUP LIMITED

Healthcare services – Overnight Price: $0.16

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

Alcidion Group's Q3 FY22 trading report was in-line with Canaccord Genuity's expectations, booking revenues and cash burn in-line with forecasts.

The company is benefiting from unique tailwinds from the significant need for digitising patient records in UK hospitals, with about 30% of NHS trusts still using paper and pencil systems, the broker noted.

Alcidion Group's management and Canaccord Genuity are both confident the full year result will meet expectations. The company also continues to guide to underlying normalised earnings and cashflow breakeven for FY22.

ALL    ARISTOCRAT LEISURE LIMITED

Gaming – Overnight Price: $32.14

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

Goldman Sachs reinstates coverage of Aristocrat Leisure with a $43 target and Buy rating. It's felt the business is positioned for longer-term structural growth, and medium term tailwinds should arise from ongoing design and development (D&D) investment.

Data also suggest to the broker the gaming environment is recovering quickly in the US beyond FY19 levels. In addition, due to a strong balance sheet, there's considered to be scope for either near-term capital management or M&A activity.

So far the diversification from land base to digital through a series of acquisitions has yielded benefits, with the analyst noting the strong performance of Pixel over the past two years.

This report was published on April 28, 2022.

Target price is $43.00 Current Price is $32.14 Difference: $10.86

The HIV result reflected the grind in the global procurement system but a better performance is expected going forward noted the broker.

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $1.43

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

Canaccord Genuity noted the March quarter 2022 production report for Gold Road Resources  was in-line with expectations and a beat on costs.

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $1.41

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

Canaccord Genuity noted Ramelius Resources reported a -12% miss in production for the Q3 FY22 due to the lower haulage availability from labour shortages.

The company has tightened FY22 guidance to 260-265koz, at the lower end of the prior range. This compares to Canaccord Genuity's forecast of 261koz.

The price target has been reduced to $2.40 from $2.50 adjusting for the 3Q trading update and higher cost forecasts.

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

Ramelius Resources released its Q3 FY22 activities report which showed the weakest production in two years, largely due to the Covid work shortages and the planned mill maintenance in March, noted Shaw and Partners.

The company guided production lower to 260-265koz, the low-end of the previously announced range of 260-300koz.

Shaw and Partners credited the company for being able ro still expect to report costs and production within the original guidance despite the Covid challenges, rising energy costs and higher inflation.

The broker has revised down the profit forecasts by -16% and -15% for FY22 and FY23, respectively, based on a lower expected gold price and the impact of higher costs and lower production. 

Shaw lowers the price target to $2.35 from $2.49 and a Buy rating is maintained.

The broker expects a much better outlook for the June quarter after the well flagged weakness in Q3 which should allow the company to meet its FY22 guidance.

Shaw and Partners feels there is share price support as the mine life for Tropicana becomes clearer, McPhillamy's is showing some progress and Duketon looks better, all will provide further tailwinds.

Paper & Packaging – Overnight Price: $0.18

Canaccord Genuity rates ((SES)) as Speculative Buy (1) –

Secos Group's Q3 FY22 sales and profit results came in below Canaccord Genuity's expectations.

Continued cost pressures and customer order delays were cited by the company's management as the reasons for the flagged net loss for FY22.

Canaccord Genuity's sales forecasts have been reduced by -9% and -21% for FY22 and FY23, respectively.

The broker has also reduced the margin forecasts and the profit momentum is now expected to return in FY23, underpinned by recent distribution agreements and increased manufacturing capacity.

The price target has been reduced to $0.29 from $0.40 and the rating has been reduced to Speculative Buy from Buy.

This report was published on April 27, 2022.

SGR    STAR ENTERTAINMENT GROUP LIMITED

Gaming – Overnight Price: $3.04

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

Goldman Sachs lowers by -5% its FY23 earnings (EBITDA) estimate for Star Entertainment to reflect softer revenues and higher
compliance costs. Also, to account for the extended NSW regulatory inquiry process, the company's multiple is reduced.

As a result of these changes, the broker's target price falls to $3.75 from $4.10. As this amended target implies less than 20% upside from the latest share price, the Neutral rating is retained.

Nonetheless, the analyst remains positive on the stock in relation to management's initiatives around splitting the company in two to create a property company and an operating company.

This report was published on April 28, 2022.

Target price is $3.75 Current Price is $3.04 Difference: $0.71

SLA    SILK LASER AUSTRALIA LIMITED

Healthcare services – Overnight Price: $2.68

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

Wilsons noted Silk Laser Australia's Q3 FY22 trading update showed network cash sales were up 91% to $116.9m, which was in-line if not slightly above the broker's expectations.

Silk Laser Australia's FY22 earnings guidance of at least $20m is consistent with Wilsons current forecast and the trading update confirmed that the company is on track to meet the broker's second half network sales.

The broker does not see any evidence that Silk should be grouped into a consumer discretionary retail spend category with no correlation between injectable (botox, fillers) procedure levels and/or spend declining during recessions (US data).

Silk will release the 3rd and final tranche of stock from voluntary escrow post the 2021 IPO at the August 2022 earnings result, representing 4.74m shares or 9% of the total shares on issue.

The broker's forecasts remain unchanged with a $5.25 price target and an Overweight rating.

SLH    SILK LOGISTICS HOLDINGS LIMITED

Transportation & Logistics – Overnight Price: $2.50

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

Silk Logistics announced the completion of Kemps Creek, NSW, property novation post acquisition to ESR Australia noted Shaw and Partners.

Under the terms of the lease agreement ESR is responsible for the construction and associated building costs of the warehouses and SLH the fit-out works.

Shaw and Partners sees many positives from this announcement. The transaction de-risks the cash flows for the company, expands the capacity, reduces the costs and optimises the usage for Silk Logistics.

The broker considers the company as well positioned for long-term and profitable growth, with minimal debt and high management expertise. 

The price target of $3.15 is considered as conservative by Shaw and Partners and the stock is a Buy rate.

This report was published on April 29, 2022.

TAH    TABCORP HOLDINGS LIMITED

Gaming – Overnight Price: $5.15

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

The latest domestic lottery trends suggest to Goldman Sachs a solid backdrop for the gaming industry with a strong positive read-through for Tabcorp.

The analyst expects a softer outcome for Gaming Services and Wagering for FY22-24, partly offset by better Lotteries momentum. As the group's earnings are skewed towards the Lottery business, the target price rises to $6.25 from $6.20.

The shift to higher-margin digital and an upcoming OzLotto game change should result in upside for Lotteries, explains the broker. The Buy rating is unchanged.

TSI    TOP SHELF INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

Food, Beverages & Tobacco – Overnight Price: $1.37

Moelis rates ((TSI)) as Buy rating (1) –

Top Shelf International's March-quarter trading update appears to have missed Moelis' forecasts, as sales failed to meet expectations, but pleased none-the-less.

The broker spies plenty of positives: national sales to Coles Liquor Group ((COL)) kicked in (product offering to expand in the June quarter); distribution agreements were signed with Independent Liquor Group, Local Liquor and Star Liquor Group; the company harvested its first whisky batch from the Campbellfield distillery; and investment in spirits inventory continued.

Net cash finished at $5.2m. The broker considers Top Shelf to be well positioned for long-term growth. Buy rating retained. Target price inches up to $2.05.

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

Waypoint REIT announced the sale of 29 assets to Fawkner Property for a combined $141.8m, with Goldman Sachs noting the sales comprises largely regional properties. The broker highlights the sale is in-line with guidance for $150m in asset sales in FY22.

The deal is conditional on a 30-day first right of refusal where either Viva Energy ((VEA)) or Coles Group ((COL)) can acquire the assets for the same conditions as agreed to by Fawkner Property.
