Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Aug 26, 2024

Daily Market Reports | Aug 26 2024

This story features ANZ GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: ANZ

An additional news report on the recommendation, valuation, forecast and opinion changes and updates 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.

AUB    AUB GROUP LIMITED

Insurance – Overnight Price: $31.85

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

Goldman Sachs observes the second half of FY24 underlying net profit was ahead of estimates but AUB Group has provided FY25 guidance that is lower than expected.

While the broker acknowledges some conservatism, historically there is the inclusion of technology costs associated with the NZ project Lola and the recruitment of new teams.

Premium rate increases have moderated to around 6% yet management has indicated this can be offset by increases in commission rates. Medium-term margin targets have been retained with further upgrades considered possible. Buy rating retained. Target is $34.

BAP    BAPCOR LIMITED

Automobiles & Components – Overnight Price: $4.93

Canaccord Genuity rates ((BAP)) as Hold (3) –

In line with guidance provided in May by Bapcor, FY24 underlying profit came in at $94.8m. Canaccord Genuity highlights cash flow conversion improved in the 2H, bringing FY24 conversion to 77%.

Management is guiding to $20-30m of EBITDA benefit via cost-out and distribution centre rationalisation. 

Unlike the preceding Bapcor Trade Partners (BTP) plan to strengthen the company’s position in the automotive aftermarket sector, the analyst has some confidence this new target will be achieved.

The broker doesn’t share management’s confidence there have been no market share losses and will be monitoring both share and revenue performance in the coming periods.

In the meantime, Canaccord cautions investors against relying upon the recently rejected $5.40 bid for Bapcor as potential share price support, given similar bids on the ASX were pulled once due diligence was undertaken. Hold.

The target rises to $4.80 from $4.26.

Target price is $4.80 Current Price is $4.93 Difference: minus $0.13 (current price is over target).

Jarden rates ((BRG)) as Neutral (3) –

Jarden observes Breville Group reported another “quality” result in FY24 including strong cashflows with momentum improving into FY25.

Management offers no guidance, but Jarden expects 11.5% growth in earnings before interest and tax in FY25 with an acceleration in Americas growth; APAC returning to growth as the A&NZ markets improve with growing scale in South Korea. Europe remains questionable.

Operational leverage is expected to boost margins in the year ahead.

A Neutral rating is retained. Target lifts to $26.30 from $23.60 on the back of earnings upgrades.

This report was published on August 21, 2024.

Petra Capital rates ((BRG)) as Hold (3) –

Expansion in gross margins and stronger sales in 2H24 helped Breville Group report slightly better than forecast FY24 earnings, Petra Capital notes.

Lower freight costs with promotional activity controlled boosted the gross margin by 140 basis points in 2H24. It is likely to remain flat, the broker highlights, into FY25. This means growth will depend on volume expansion.

The analyst believes new product launches, new markets and expansion of Lelit/Baratza should assist in volume growth.

Petra Capital makes minor EPS changes. Target price rises to $28.30 from $24.40. Buy rated.

This report was published on August 22, 2024.

Target price is $28.30 Current Price is $33.16 Difference: minus $4.86 (current price is over target).

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

Breville Group’s FY25 result nosed out consensus’ forecasts, returning to double-digit growth in Americas and EMEA in the June half, observes Wilsons.

The broker takes this a good sign heading into the seasonally stronger December half and observes the company is gaining market share in the Americas, its biggest geographical market, which should prove defensive.

The company posted strong cash conversion, which brought the company back into the black, the company closing FY24 with net cash of $54m and restoring the balance sheet, observes Wilsons.

The broker expects net present debt will remain elevated until FY26 but observes inventory has stabilised at 22% of sales.

Overweight rating retained. Target price rises 12% to $34.90 a share. 

This report was published on August 22, 2024.

CHC    CHARTER HALL GROUP

REITs – Overnight Price: $14.42

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

Charter Hall delivered a surprise beat for FY24 earnings with FY25 guidance suggesting to Jarden there are signs of a pick-up in activity and investment opportunities.

FY24 now appears to be the earnings trough for the REIT. Jarden believes it is well positioned for growth by “sticking to its knitting” through the cycle.

Management achieved 5% in cost savings which should flow onto FY25.

Overweight. Target $14.50.

Jarden will mark to market the REITs earnings models.

CTD    CORPORATE TRAVEL MANAGEMENT LIMITED

Travel, Leisure & Tourism – Overnight Price: $11.39

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

Jarden believes Corporate Travel Management presented a re-basing of earnings with FY24 coming in well below expectations and a recovery not anticipated until FY26.

The results were “disappointing”, the broker notes. EBITDA fell -8% at the midpoint with a 30% rise in capex with much of the miss attributed to contract losses, the softer US bridging contract and lower war-related repatriation.

Jarden cuts EPS forecasts by -24% to -30% from FY25 to FY27 and sits slightly below FY25 guidance.

The target falls to $14 from $19. Overweight rating unchanged.

Wilsons rates ((CTD)) as Market Weight (3) –

Corporate Travel Management’s FY24 earnings (EBITDA) missed consensus forecasts by -6% and Wilsons’s forecasts by -7% as high-margin humanitarian-related government work eased off.

FY25 guidace also disappointed and the broker cuts FY25 EBITDA forecasts by -11%.

Management described FY25 as a reset in which it planned to deliver early against its five-year growth strategy (15% annual revenue growth and doubling of net profit after tax by FY29).

The broker is waiting for the company to deliver on guidance before getting too excited, particularly given the strong guided second-half skew of earnings.

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

Cleanaway Waste Management posted a “solid” FY24 result in Goldman Sachs’ view. FY25 EBIT guidance of $395-425m at the mid point is around 4% ahead of the brokers previous estimates.

Management appears confident it can lower maintenance capital expenditure by -$50m per year from FY25 and beyond. The EBIT target for FY26 of more than $450m remains unchanged.

The broker notes work still needs to be done to complete the fleet transformation, integrate data/advanced analytics and optimise the branches. Neutral retained. Target is raised to $3.00 from $2.70. Goldman Sachs is transferring coverage to Joseph Kusia.

Jarden rates ((CWY)) as Downgrade to Neutral from Overweight (3) –

Jarden observes Cleanaway Waste Management continues to generate positive earnings before interest and tax with negative EPS revisions as higher net interest charges bite.

The broker cuts EPS forecasts by -4% for FY25. FY26 EPS estimate unchanged.

Operationally, competition in solid waste services continues; liquid waste and health services continued to improve, but Jarden questions its sustainability in FY25.

Target price moves to $3.05 from $3. Rating downgraded to Neutral from Overweight, with a “less appealing” proposition for FY25.

DMP    DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED

Food, Beverages & Tobacco – Overnight Price: $31.77

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

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises posted a FY24 result that was in line with expectations. Goldman Sachs believes the renewed focus on store unit economics and reinvestment to trigger topline growth is well-placed.

Earnings appear to have troughed and there is a path of improvement visible through FY25. As the company closes more corporate stores the revenue/network sales margin will reduce and the EBIT margin will increase to reflect the change in business model.

The broker reiterates a Buy rating, reducing the target to $40.00 from $41.30.

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

Jarden observes Domino’s Pizza Enterprises FY24 results were in line and were of reasonable quality.

Management guided to a softer trading update. Same store sales were down -1.3% in the first seven weeks of FY25. Surprisingly, the broker notes, A&NZ and Europe are better with weakness in Asia.

The outlook infers a flat 1H25 with a stronger 2H24, which will likely result in downward earnings revisions, Jarden believes, despite slowing costs of goods sold, and improved franchisee profitablity.

Jarden cuts earnings forecasts by -5% to -9% for FY25 to FY27 with a revised target price of $42 from $48.

DTL    DATA#3 LIMITED.

IT & Support – Overnight Price: $8.09

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

Data#3 posted FY24 revenue that was below expectations, driven by a miss in the infrastructure segment.

Despite the positive commentary regarding sequentially improving trends, Goldman Sachs notes continued slow customer decision-making and heightened competitive pressure provide a challenging trading backdrop for the first half of FY25.

The company has shown discipline in competitive tender processes, the broker adds, maintaining “solid” gross margins. Neutral retained. Target is raised 1% to $8.15.

Jarden rates ((DTL)) as Neutral (3) –

Data#3 reported mixed FY24 results with higher interest income in the 2H, leading to lower-than-expected earnings, Jarden notes.

Hardware revenue in 2H24 was weaker, down -13.8%, software revenue grew 8.2% and services revenue advanced 8.2%, although slowing in the 2H24 on the 1H24.

Jarden remains cautious on Data#3 because of 1H25 headwinds from macroeconomics, deferral of electoral spending and a competitive environment. The broker believes investors should wait for more earnings clarity.

Data#3’s FY24 revenue outpaced consensus by roughly 5% but missed on net profit after tax observes Wilsons.

But the broker appreciates the increase in the company’s revenue and gross profit (up 17%) and the 15% increase in Data#3’s dividend in a tough market (taking the payout ratio to 91%).

Wilsons observes the internal cost ratio rose 30 basis points due to inflation and investment in labour and systems.

Rating is downgraded to Market Weight from Overweight. Target price rises to $9.23 from $9.12.

FCL    FINEOS CORPORATION HOLDINGS PLC

Cloud services – Overnight Price: $1.34

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

Fineos Corp posted a mixed result for the first half, Goldman Sachs observes, although 2024 revenue guidance of EUR130-135m has been maintained with the emphasis on the lower end of the range.

Along with a softening in the subscription growth outlook, this is disappointing for the broker as pipeline conversion appears to remain a challenge.

While commentary regarding customer cloud transitions is encouraging, it is not enough to materially change a modest growth outlook and Goldman Sachs retains a Neutral rating. Target is $1.90.

Goldman Sachs found the FY24 result from Hansen Technologies mixed although there were three positive aspects in the detail. The core business provided revenue that was comfortably within guidance while Powercloud is performing ahead of expectations.

Cash EBITDA guidance for FY25 is also better-than-expected as the company reallocates its R&D to lower-cost jurisdictions. Negatives included softer cash flow on the working capital build up, and lower net profit compared with expectations.

MGH    MAAS GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED

Building Products & Services – Overnight Price: $4.46

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

Maas Group’s FY24 result landed near the top end of guidance and in line with Wilsons’ forecasts. Operating cash flow outpaced the broker triggering a beat on net debt. Sales eased roughly -6%.

EPS forecasts fall -3% to -6% to reflect forecast higher interest expense in FY25; and higher D&A expense.

Overweight rating retained. Target price rises to $4.91 from $4.67.

WTC    WISETECH GLOBAL LIMITED

Cloud services – Overnight Price: $120.14

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

FY24 results from WiseTech Global were largely ahead of Goldman Sachs estimates with EBITDA slightly above the top end of guidance. FY25 guidance is strong amid CargoWise growth expectations of 31-37%.

The latter ameliorates the broker’s concerns regarding the company’s ability to sustain around 30% revenue growth.

The broker suggests one of the negatives in the results is a material ramp up in earnings for CargoWise that implies very strong initial usage of new products, which may slow going forward. Neutral retained. Target rises 14% to $104.
