Broker Rating Changes (Post Thursday Last Week)

Upgrade

AUSSIE BROADBAND LIMITED ((ABB)) Upgrade to Overweight from Market Weight by Wilsons.B/H/S: 0/0/0

Following Aussie Broadband’s 1H25 results, Wilsons believes the balance of risks is genuinely to the upside, and has upgraded the rating to Overweight from Market Weight.

Revenue grew 7% y/y to $589m due to mid-teens growth across three of the company’s core segments and was in line with the broker’s forecast but above consensus.

The company upgraded FY25 EBITDA guidance to $133-138m from $125-135m, with Wilsons positioned at the midpoint at $135m.

The broker observes the company’s 2H-to-date net broadband connections were 14,129 which is 36% of forecast 2H total net additions of 39.7k.

Target price lifts to $5.08 from $3.62.

ADAIRS LIMITED ((ADH)) Overweight by Jarden.B/H/S: 0/0/0

Moelis notes Adairs’ 1H25 revenue was broadly in line with consensus but within that Mocka beat forecasts, Adairs was in line and FoF missed due to weaker Victoria consumers.

Gross profit margin of 47.9% was lower than the 49% consensus.

Trading update for the first seven weeks of 2H showed group sales were up 9.2% y/y vs weak comps of -9.6%, with Adairs’ revenue growth running ahead of consensus.

The broker lowered revenue forecasts and downgraded profit margins, but also lowered cost of doing business forecasts on benefits from Mocka investment earlier and reduction in inefficiencies at Adairs.

Overweight rating and target price is $2.59.

CATALYST METALS LIMITED ((CYL)) Buy by Canaccord Genuity.B/H/S: 0/0/0

Canaccord Genuity found the first half result from Catalyst Metals “clean” with revenue broadly in line and EBITDA slightly ahead. No dividend was declared with surplus cash to be used to fund growth and exploration.

The broker is increasingly confident in the company’s ability to deliver on its three-year outlook and increases FY26-27 production forecasts by around 4%. Target is raised to $ 5.00 from $4.25 and the rating is upgraded to Buy from Speculative Buy.

GENERATION DEVELOPMENT GROUP LIMITED ((GDG)) Upgrade to Buy from Hold by Petra Capital.B/H/S: 0/0/0

Generation Development’s half year result exceeded expectations, with strong revenue and (earnings) EBITDA growth in the Lonsec division, Petra Capital notes.

Revenue rose 23% and underlying net profit after tax advanced 50% to $12.4m. Genlife’s revenue margin improved, with bonds written trending significantly higher on an annualised basis.

Active independent financial advisers transacting with Genlife increased 16% year-on-year, and new investment bonds grew 42%.

Lonsec’s eanrings margin expanded to 42% from 38%, driven by higher LIS margins and stronger research division performance, the broker explains.

Petra Capital expects a higher dividend payout ratio from FY26, supported by the retirement of Lonsec debt and the achievement of earnout targets.

Target price rises $5.58 from $5.18, with a rating upgraded to Buy from Hold.

INTEGRAL DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED ((IDX)) Upgrade to Buy from Hold by Canaccord Genuity.B/H/S: 0/0/0

In its first results since acquiring Capitol Health, Integral Diagnostics posted an operating EBITDA margin that missed estimates.

Canaccord Genuity believes the resulting sell-off was unwarranted, particularly as there is a path to margin improvement on the acquisition.

There is also the prospect of -$10m in synergies most of which will be recognised in the first year, with the potential for longer term synergies not taken into account.

The broker raises its target to $2.90 from $2.50 and upgrades to Buy from Hold.

NIB HOLDINGS LIMITED ((NHF)) Upgrade to Overweight from Neutral by Jarden.B/H/S: 0/0/0

Jarden raises its target for nib Holdings to $7.00 from $6.70 and upgrades to Overweight from Neutral, assessing lower downside risks following a “solid” underlying 1H result.

The broker highlights a consensus-beating performance in the Australian Resident Health Insurance (ARHI) segment. Profit was in line with consensus due to one-off costs related to a productivity program and M&A integration.

Also, the combination of an ARHI margin recovery and easing inflationary pressures in the hospital book offers increased confidence in management’s ability to meet long-term margin targets, suggest the analysts.

PROPEL FUNERAL PARTNERS LIMITED ((PFP)) Upgrade to Buy from Hold by Moelis.B/H/S: 0/0/0

Moelis notes Propel Funeral Partners’ 1H25 revenue and EBITDA missed its forecast but remains more positive on the outlook.

The company retains a funding capacity of $144m. The broker believes, as organic volumes continue to be positive and funding capacity is deployed, top-line growth and modest operating leverage will drive EPS growth.

The broker highlights 2H of the calendar year 2024 death registration data in NSW, VIC, QLD showed 4.8% growth y/y, boosting confidence in the company returning to 2% potential growth from 2H25.

Target price cut to $6.1 from $6.2, and rating upgraded to Buy from Hold

Downgrade

GTN LIMITED ((GTN)) Downgrade to Hold from Buy by Canaccord Genuity.B/H/S: 0/0/0

Despite GTN’s 2% year on year increase in revenue, adjusted earnings declined as costs rose across the business, Canaccord Genuity notes. Capital management is the watchword now as GTN seeks to maximise cash returns to shareholders.

With a very particular governance structure representing one group of investors at board level, Canaccord downgrades to Hold from Buy and cuts its target price to 55c from 75c.

IDP EDUCATION LIMITED ((IEL)) Downgrade to Neutral from Buy by Goldman Sachs.B/H/S: 0/0/0

IDP Education’s first-half FY25 result missed expectations, with industry headwinds and political uncertainty weighing on earnings, Goldman Sachs notes.

Revenue, EBIT, and NPAT fell short of consensus by -4%, -11%, and -15%, respectively, as weaker International English Language Testing Systems (IELTS) and student placement volumes offset price increases.

IELTS revenue declined -22%, with India volumes down -55%, while student placement revenue fell -15%, with significant declines in Canada, Australia, and the UK. Cost management helped offset some margin pressure, with overheads reduced by -9%.

Goldman Sachs lowers its FY25 to FY27 net profit after tax forecasts by -17%, -10%, and -6%, citing lower volume and margin expectations.

 Target price drops to $11.10 from $19.00. Goldman Sachs downgrades the stock to Neutral from Buy.

INGENIA COMMUNITIES GROUP ((INA)) Downgrade to Overweight from Buy by Jarden.B/H/S: 0/0/0

Ingenia Communities is executing well, Jarden observes, with first half results ahead of expectations. The risk to new FY25 guidance appears to the upside as volume and margins continue to expand.

The broker also welcomes management’s view that organic growth will take precedence over potential industry consolidation.

As the shares are up 25% over the year to date Jarden downgrades to Overweight from Buy. Target is raised to $6.40 from $5.70.

MAYNE PHARMA GROUP LIMITED ((MYX)) Downgrade to Market Weight from Overweight by Wilsons.B/H/S: 0/0/0

Wilsons lifts Mayne Pharma’s target price to $7.40 from $5.95 to align with Cosette Pharma’s bid price. Rating is lowered to Market Weight from Overweight.

The broker notes Mayne’s 1H25 result was pre-flagged but the composition was better than expected. The broker was surprised with how effective the channel strategy worked for the Dermatology business

The broker raised FY25 revenue and EBIDTA estimates following the 7% beat in the 1H. The analyst sees the Cosette bid as a fair price for the company.

NUIX LIMITED ((NXL)) Downgrade to Hold from Buy by Moelis.B/H/S: 0/0/0

Nuix’s 1H25 annualised contract value (ACV) rose 8.3% y/y in line with the 8-9% guidance provided in late January, but Moelis highlights the 1H growth translates to an annualised rate of 4.5%. This compares with 14% ACV growth over FY24.

The broker notes Nuix’s challenge in 1H was a slower uptake of Neo among existing clients. The company also reported higher amortisation in 1H and the analyst in turn accelerated the amortisation profile, leading to larger reductions in bottom line forecasts.

The broker also tempered growth estimates after the 1H result and outlook. Target price drops to $4.95 from $6.09, and rating downgraded to Hold from Buy.

POLYNOVO LIMITED ((PNV)) Downgrade to Market Weight from Overweight by Wilsons.B/H/S: 0/0/0

PolyNovo’s 1H25 revenue miss vs Wilsons was reported in January, so the disappointment in the result was underlying EBITDA of $2.6M which was lower than the broker’s $4.6m forecast.

Both overall and US sales were lower than the broker’s estimate, leading to -3-5% revenue cuts in FY25-27. EBITDA estimates are down -29-15%, with the -29% adjustment for FY25 due to the -$2.0m 1H25 miss and an additional -$2m opex in 2H.

Target price cut to $1.85 from $3.00 mainly due to a lower multiple of 8x FY26 forecast EV/revenue. Rating downgraded to Market Weight from Overweight.

READYTECH HOLDINGS LIMITED ((RDY)) Downgrade to Neutral from Overweight by Jarden.B/H/S: 0/0/0

ReadyTech Holdings delivered underlying EBITDA of $18.2m in the first half, missing Jarden’s estimates. Local government revenue was disappointing as product delays slowed down customer transition.

The broker continues to envisage the company having an opportunity to take share in enterprise although the deals are “lumpy”.

More evidence of an acceleration in revenue is required before the broker becomes positive, although there is potential to re-rate if the significant pipeline can be executed.

Rating is downgraded to Neutral from Overweight. Target is lowered to $3.05 from $3.54.

SMARTGROUP CORPORATION LIMITED ((SIQ)) Downgrade to Hold from Buy by Canaccord Genuity.B/H/S: 0/0/0

Canaccord Genuity notes Smartgroup Corp’s FY24 result was strong, with the highlight being the 2H EBITDA margin of around 40%.

The broker reckons there is strong existing momentum, but going forward the backdrop for novated leases looks challenging with EV sales growth already weak in the final months of 2024.

Added to that is customer uncertainty regarding interest rates and the PHEV exemption due to expire in March, the broker highlights.

The broker cut FY25-26 revenue forecasts but expects the company to maintain a 40% EBITDA margin on lower expenses.

Target price rises to $8.7 from $8.5. Rating downgraded to Hold from Buy.
