Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Apr 30, 2025

Daily Market Reports | Apr 30 2025

This story features AIC MINES LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: A1M

The company is included in ALL-ORDS

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.

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $0.35

Moelis rates ((A1M)) as Buy (1) –

Moelis notes AIC Mines reported March quarter copper production of 3.0kt, in line with expectations, though sales of 2.3kt were impacted by weather-related shipment delays, resulting in a zero net mine cash flow and a cash balance of $30.9m.

The analyst highlights management retains FY25 guidance, with delayed shipments largely dispatched post-quarter and expected to support June results.

All-in-sustaining-costs rose to $5.49/lb, and investor focus may turn to cash management given upcoming capital requirements for the Jericho development and plant expansion.

Moelis points to near-mine drilling results highlighting strong copper-gold intercepts, supporting potential resource growth. Buy rating retained with a $0.72 target price.

This report was published on April 29, 2025.

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $0.84

The analyst observes management reiterated FY25 guidance of 7080koz production at $2,400$2,600/oz with production expected at the lower end.

Operational improvements at Tomingley, including the Roswell Underground and paste plant, are driving underlying cash generation.

The recently announced merger with Mandalay Resources is expected to complete mid-2025, shifting the strategic focus. Buy rating and $1.00 target price are maintained.

ALL    ARISTOCRAT LEISURE LIMITED

Gaming – Overnight Price: $65.62

Jarden rates ((ALL)) as Upgrade to Overweight from Neutral (2) –

Jarden upgrades its rating for Aristocrat Leisure to Overweight from Neutral following recent share price underperformance. The target remains at $68.

The broker highlights strong recurring revenues, robust free cash flow reinvestment, ongoing market share gains, and growth in direct-to-consumer digital sales as key positives. A resilient performance is expected even in a weaker US consumer environment.

Risks include a US economic slowdown, gaming market volatility, executive turnover, and the potential for expensive or poorly integrated M&A, with Jarden expecting the $750m buy-back to support the share price if no major acquisitions eventuate.

This report was published on April 22, 2025.

AMP    AMP LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $1.28

Goldman Sachs rates ((AMP)) as Upgrade to Buy from Neutral (1) –

Goldman Sachs notes AMP’s 1Q25 update pointed to a stable flows trend, with Platform net flow of $250m in line with the $200-300m seen in recent quarters. 

Net outflows in Superannuation & Investments improved to -$108m vs -$371m in 1Q24, with AMP stating it is taking steps to improving retention. Loan growth at AMP Bank was weak, but there’s more focus on maintaining margin over volume.

Upgrade to Buy from Neutral. Target $1.48.

This report was published on April 20, 2025.

Jarden rates ((AMP)) as Neutral (3) –

AMP’s March quarter update was broadly in line with Jarden’s expectations, with net flows turning positive in Australian Wealth Management due to ongoing momentum in Platforms, although Super/Investments remained in net outflow.

Equity market weakness since last December has led to significant earnings downgrades, highlighting inherent market exposure, point out the analysts.

AMP Bank reported flat loan growth and steady margins, with further improvement likely dependent on the rollout of the new digital bank, suggests the broker.

Jarden lowers its FY25-FY27 underlying EPS forecasts by between -6% to -10% and notes capital management initiatives are unlikely to support the near-term outlook.

The broker reduces the target price to $1.20 from $1.40 and maintains a Neutral rating.

This report was published on April 22, 2025.

Target price is $1.20 Current Price is $1.28 Difference: minus $0.085 (current price is over target).

ANZ    ANZ GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED

Banks – Overnight Price: $29.55

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

Ahead of upcoming banks’ half-yearly results, Jarden notes fundamentals have been set aside in favour of flows and passive in recent weeks, with CommBank ((CBA)) emerging as the most loved stock. 

The broker expects net margin compression across all majors except ANZ Bank, due to shifts in deposit mix and lending competition. Buybacks are also seen as less likely.

The broker expects ANZ Bank to report a 14% h/h increase in net profit in 1H25 to $3.61bn, and is 2% ahead of consensus. Net interest margin to increase 1bp on the full inclusion of Suncorp Bank ((SUN)).

The broker will be looking for updates on ANZ Plus, non-financial risks and growth outlook for insto.

BGL    BELLEVUE GOLD LIMITED

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $0.91

Moelis rates ((BGL)) as Hold (3) –

Moelis observes Bellevue Gold reported March quarter production of 25.1koz, in line with pre-reported figures but below previous expectations, with all-in-sustaining-costs rising to $3,124/oz due to weaker production and higher mining costs.

Management lowered FY25 guidance to 129134koz at $2,425$2,525/oz, with FY26 and longer-term forecasts also revised down, reflecting a more conservative production trajectory, the broker highlights.

The company raised approximately $156m to strengthen its balance sheet and close out nine months of hedging after triggering a lender review under its project finance facility.

Cash and gold at quarter-end totalled $49m, and while some cost relief is expected from hedge closure, the analyst sees sustainable grade improvement as key to restoring financial performance. Hold rating retained with a $0.85 target price.

This report was published on April 29, 2025.

Target price is $0.85 Current Price is $0.91 Difference: minus $0.06 (current price is over target).

BHP    BHP GROUP LIMITED

Bulks – Overnight Price: $38.19

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

Goldman Sachs highlights BHP Group reported a solid 3Q25, with stronger copper production at Escondida and slightly better iron ore and met coal volumes despite heavy rains.

The analyst observes the re-sequencing of concentrator projects at Escondida, expected to offset the previously forecast FY30 production dip, lifting copper production targets to 9001,000ktpa across FY27FY31.

FY25 production guidance remains unchanged though met coal unit costs are expected to rise to US$128US$133/t, and the production range is unlikely to reach its upper end.

Goldman Sachs tweaks FY25FY27 earnings (EBITDA) forecasts 1%, -1% and -2%, respectively.

BMN    BANNERMAN ENERGY LIMITED

Uranium – Overnight Price: $2.35

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

Canaccord Genuity lowers its price target for Bannerman Energy to $3.74 from $4.08 while retaining a Speculative Buy rating, after deferring first production at the Etango project by six months to early 2029 and tempering ramp-up assumptions.

The analyst expects minimal impact from March flooding, continued early construction and design progress, and ongoing evaluation of strategic funding and offtake partnerships.

Key long-lead items such as the tertiary crusher remain ahead of schedule, and around $36.8m remains uncommitted following the March quarter.

Canaccord Genuity emphasises Bannerman remains focused on securing offtake while preserving leverage to higher uranium prices.

This report was published on April 28, 2025.

BXB    BRAMBLES LIMITED

Transportation & Logistics – Overnight Price: $20.13

Jarden rates ((BXB)) as Neutral (3) –

Jarden notes Brambles reported 9-month constant-currency revenue growth of 3%, comprising 2% price and 1% volume, though FY25 revenue guidance was trimmed to 45% from 46% due to volume headwinds.

The analyst highlights unchanged FY25 EBIT growth guidance of 811%, driven by cost reductions including lower inventory pooling equipment expense and corporate overheads, though questions remain around sustainability into FY26.

Management’s free cash flow guidance was raised to US$900mUS$1bn, supporting an anticipated US$500m buyback in FY26.

Jarden lifts FY25FY27 core EPS forecasts modestly and maintains the view that a reversion to normal operating conditions is occurring faster than expected. Neutral rating and $19.80 target price are retained.

This report was published on April 29, 2025.

Target price is $19.80 Current Price is $20.13 Difference: minus $0.33 (current price is over target).

CBA    COMMONWEALTH BANK OF AUSTRALIA

Banks – Overnight Price: $162.98

Jarden rates ((CBA)) as Sell (5) –

Ahead of upcoming banks’ half-yearly results, Jarden notes fundamentals have been set aside in favour of flows and passive in recent weeks, with CommBank emerging as the most loved stock. 

The broker expects net margin compression across all majors except ANZ Bank, due to shifts in deposit mix and lending competition. Buybacks are also seen as less likely as banks’ preference would be to lift CET1 target by 25bps to 11.25-11.75%.

The broker expects CommBank’s 3Q25 update to show solid volume growth and benign credit quality. Net interest margin is expected to decline -2bps vs 1H.

Sell. Target unchanged at $110.

CGF    CHALLENGER LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $7.19

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

Goldman Sachs notes Challenger’s 3Q25 update showed the midpoint of FY25 normalised net profit after tax guidance is around 2% above consensus, with life book growth of -0.9% due to continued Challenger Index Plus maturities, while retail and Japanese annuity sales were strong.

The analyst highlights operating cost controls and improving margins in the life business, helping maintain guidance despite weaker funds management flows.

Capital resilience improved to 1.62x PCA ratio, supported by de-risking of fixed income assets and stable asset allocation.

Goldman Sachs lifts FY25 normalised earnings forecasts by 1.2%, driven by better cost and margin trends, but remains cautious about investment market pressures into 4Q25. Buy rating retained with a $7.40 target price.

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

Challenger’s March quarter annuity sales and book growth missed Jarden’s forecasts, although the tightening of FY25 normalised profit guidance has improved market confidence in management execution.

Despite softer retail and index-plus annuity sales, strength in longer-duration products and a robust capital ratio suggest improved resilience, with a positive rebalancing of the fixed income portfolio, explain the analysts.

The broker lowers FY26 EPS forecasts marginally but raises the target price to $7.50 from $7.40, citing lower balance sheet risks and a higher relative P/E multiple.

Challenger continues to trade at a -1-9% discount to its 10-year average multiple, supporting Jarden’s positive view despite macroeconomic risks. Overweight rating.

This report was published on April 22, 2025.

Target price is $7.50 Current Price is $7.19 Difference: $0.31
If CGF meets the Jarden target it will return approximately 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

D2O    DUXTON WATER LIMITED

Agriculture – Overnight Price: $1.50

Petra Capital rates ((D2O)) as Buy (1) –

Petra Capital highlights Duxton Water remains well positioned amid ongoing warm and dry conditions across the southern Murray-Darling Basin. Falling dam levels and fading La Nina expectations suggest to the broker elevated spot water prices into late-2025.

The broker believes higher water prices will drive strong spot sales and lease yields, while the company’s ungeared balance sheet and multiple sale and leaseback opportunities offer upside risks to net tangible assets (NTA).

Despite these positives, Duxton Water trades at a circa -15% discount to NTA, wider than the historical average of -10%, presenting an attractive buying opportunity in the broker’s view.

Petra Capital retains a Buy rating and a $2.10 target price.

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

Following the company’s strategy day, Jarden highlights a focus by management at Domino’s Pizza Enterprises under new leadership on simplifying the menu offer, capital discipline, and targeting higher-value markets.

Evidence of improvement, particularly in Japan, France, and Germany, is still early and near-term catalysts remain limited, cautions the broker.

Despite downside risks to FY26 and FY27 forecasts, the broker forecasts a three-year EPS compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19% and sees potential for a material re-rating once consistent profitability and top-line momentum re-emerge.

Jarden retains an Overweight rating with a $39.00 target price.

FLT    FLIGHT CENTRE TRAVEL GROUP LIMITED

Travel, Leisure & Tourism – Overnight Price: $12.73

Jarden rates ((FLT)) as Buy (1) –

Flight Centre Travel has lowered FY25 profit before tax (PBT) guidance by around -13%, citing softer macroeconomic conditions and company-specific issues, with a positive offset from a planned $200m on-market buyback, notes Jarden.

This guidance now implies to the broker a flat year-on-year outcome, and the analysts expect 2H underlying profit to decline by around -8% year-on-year, with corporate travel demand and override commissions weaker-than-expected.

While no formal guidance was given for FY26, the broker notes management’s cost-out initiatives, reversal of Asian invoicing issues, and cruise channel ramp-up should support a recovery, although macroeconomic risks remain.

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $3.06

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

Gold Road Resources produced 36koz (attributable) in the March quarter, in line with guidance, though down -22% quarter-on-quarter due to unplanned crusher maintenance, Canaccord Genuity notes.

All-in-sustaining-costs rose 47% to $2,658/oz, slightly above guidance, but higher realised prices and a stronger balance sheet supported $34m in free cash flow.

Management’s guidance for 2025 remains unchanged at 325-355koz with no additional growth capital required.

A scoping study was released outlining a potential sub-level cave underground operation at Gruyere, with a pre-feasibility study targeted for 2026, the analyst details.

Moelis rates ((GOR)) as Hold (3) –

Gold Road Resources reported March quarter production of 71.2koz, in line with the pre-announced range of 7073koz, with all-in-sustaining-costs of $2,658/oz and a cash balance of $187.2m, slightly above Moelis’ forecasts.

The analyst notes management reiterated FY25 guidance for 325355koz production and attributable all-in-sustaining-costs of $2,400$2,600/oz.

While the softer production impacted cash generation despite strong realised gold prices above $4,500/oz, corporate activity remains the key focus, including the outcome of Gold Fields’ bid for the Gruyere joint venture and the expected proceeds from Northern Star’s ((NST)) acquisition of De Grey Mining ((DEG)).

Operational recovery at Gruyere is expected, supporting production forecasts.

GTK    GENTRACK GROUP LIMITED

Software & Services – Overnight Price: $10.86

Wilsons rates ((GTK)) as Upgrade to Overweight from Market Weight (1) –

Wilsons upgrades Gentrack Group to Overweight from Market Weight, highlighting new hiring activity and momentum at Veovo, along with a potential major contract win in Bulgaria.

The analyst observes increased headcount and project scoping for Bulgaria’s largest energy supplier, suggesting supportive growth into the second half of FY25, with catalysts also including possible Tier 1 utility contracts and UK business-to-consumer water sector wins.

Wilsons’ earnings forecasts for FY25 remain unchanged, though the second half earnings skew is increased given continued re-investment in staffing.

Target price slips to $12.10 from $12.50, reflecting a lower valuation multiple offset partly by New Zealand dollar depreciation. 

This report was published on April 24, 2025.

Target price is $12.10 Current Price is $10.86 Difference: $1.24
If GTK meets the Wilsons target it will return approximately 11% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

HGO    HILLGROVE RESOURCES LIMITED

Copper – Overnight Price: $0.04

Moelis rates ((HGO)) as Buy (1) –

Hillgrove Resources reported March quarter copper production of 2.95kt, in line with pre-reported figures and ahead of the Moelis’ estimate of 2.83kt, with sales of 2.91kt at $14,137/t and all-in-sustaining-costs of $5.47/lb.

The broker notes operations at Kanmantoo are regaining momentum following a softer December quarter, with FY25 guidance of 1214kt at all-in-costs of US$3.403.90/lb reaffirmed.

Cash at quarter-end was $14.8m, excluding receivables and unsold concentrate, and the company remains well funded following a recent capital raise, Moelis emphasises..

First production from Nugent is expected by year-end, providing a potential uplift in volume and mine life extension. Buy rating retained with a $0.06 target price.

LTR    LIONTOWN RESOURCES LIMITED

New Battery Elements – Overnight Price: $0.57

Canaccord Genuity rates ((LTR)) as Downgrade to Sell from Hold (5) –

Canaccord Genuity lowers its rating on Liontown Resources to Sell from Hold, retaining a $0.50 target price, as balance sheet concerns persist despite a stronger-than-expected March quarter.

The analyst observes concentrate production of 96kt exceeded expectations on higher grades and recoveries, with lower unit costs of $1,081/t outperforming forecasts.

However, weak spodumene prices and looming repayments on the $300m Ford debt facility pose liquidity risks, with the company expected to face a cash crunch by early 2026 without refinancing or additional capital.

While management retained production guidance of 170185kt, costs are expected at the upper end of the range, and market conditions continue to pressure earnings.

The analyst’s earnings forecasts are largely unchanged, with downside risks tied to pricing, debt servicing, and balance sheet strength.

This report was published on April 28, 2025.

Target price is $0.50 Current Price is $0.57 Difference: minus $0.07 (current price is over target).
If LTR meets the Canaccord Genuity target it will return approximately minus 12% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).

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

Liontown Resources reported March quarter spodumene production of 94kt, ahead of consensus, with recoveries improving to 64% and unit operating costs lowering to $816/t, Goldman Sachs explains.

The analyst highlights management retained production guidance for the second half at 170185kt, costs are expected at the upper end due to stockpile drawdowns and catch-up sustaining capital expenditure.

Cash balance stood at $173m, with cost optimisation efforts ongoing and further debt facility discussions expected.

Goldman Sachs observes the stock trades at around 0.95 times net asset value, with valuation uplift potential from de-risking and expansion plans, though balance sheet risk remains elevated.

Neutral rating retained with a target price lowered slightly to $0.63 from $0.64.

Jarden rates ((LTR)) as Neutral (3) –

Following March quarter reporting, Jarden highlights Liontown Resources continues to demonstrate strong operational execution, achieving first underground production stopes and meeting guidance timelines.

Plant recoveries on development ore for the period exceeded 70%, supporting medium-to long-term plans for higher grades as underground mining ramps-up, suggests the broker. Production is tracking towards the low end of guidance for 2025.

The analysts highlight growing funding risks, forecasting a working capital shortfall despite modelling a $50m government loan, and notes cash burn and debt amortisation obligations could strain liquidity if spodumene prices stay near spot levels.

Jarden lowers short- to medium-term SC6 price assumptions by around -US$100/dmt, while production outlooks were modestly upgraded, supporting improved operating margins from FY27.

The target price falls to 48c from 67c. Neutral rating.

LYC    LYNAS RARE EARTHS LIMITED

Rare Earth Minerals – Overnight Price: $8.60

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

Canaccord Genuity observes Lynas Rare Earths’ March quarter production was slightly below expectations, with NdPr output of 1.5kt versus 1.6kt forecast, and total rare earth oxide sales volumes of 2.4kt below the 3kt estimate.

The analyst points to continued market-driven production management, kiln maintenance in Malaysia, and lower realised prices, though this was partially offset by lower production costs.

The outlook remains challenged by Chinese export controls, which affect global supply chains and raise uncertainty over the production ramp-up, though the start of dysprosium and terbium separation in Malaysia is well timed.

The broker lowers near-term earnings forecasts but longer-term estimates improved on reduced cost assumptions.

Buy rating retained with target price raised to $8.80 from $8.20.

This report was published on April 28, 2025.

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

Lynas Rare Earths’ March quarter sales revenue of $123m and total production of 1.9kt were below expectations, though NdPr production of 1.51kt was broadly in line with Goldman Sachs’ expectations.

The analyst highlights commissioning of the Heavy Rare Earth separation circuit in Malaysia, with first production of dysprosium and terbium expected shortly, and an emerging opportunity to set ex-China pricing, reflecting rising Western demand post Chinese export restrictions.

Near-term cost pressures and a slower ramp-up at Mount Weld are factored into the broker’s updated forecasts, but long-term expansion to 12ktpa NdPr remains on track by FY28FY29.

Goldman Sachs tweaks earnings forecasts down for FY25/FY26  by -8% and-1%, respectively and FY27 is raised 3%.

MQG    MACQUARIE GROUP LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $194.43

Jarden rates ((MQG)) as Underweight (4) –

Ahead of upcoming banks’ half-yearly results, Jarden notes fundamentals have been set aside in favour of flows and passive in recent weeks, with CommBank ((CBA)) emerging as the most loved stock. 

The broker expects net margin compression across all majors except ANZ Bank, due to shifts in deposit mix and lending competition. Buybacks are also seen as less likely as banks’ preference would be to lift CET1 target by 25bps to 11.25-11.75%.

The broker expects Macquarie Group to report FY25 net profit of $3.64bn, -2% lower vs consensus. Focus will be on FY26 guidance where the broker’s current forecast is $4.18bn, 1% higher vs consensus.

In a separate note, the broker notes the “surprising” announcement of divestment of North American and European public investment business to Nomura for $2.8bn. The transaction will be incorporated into the forecasts once the FY25 results are announced.

NAB    NATIONAL AUSTRALIA BANK LIMITED

Banks – Overnight Price: $35.95

Jarden rates ((NAB)) as Underweight (4) –

Ahead of upcoming banks’ half-yearly results, Jarden notes fundamentals have been set aside in favour of flows and passive in recent weeks, with CommBank ((CBA)) emerging as the most loved stock. 

The broker expects net margin compression across all majors except ANZ Bank, due to shifts in deposit mix and lending competition. Buybacks are also seen as less likely as banks’ preference would be to lift CET1 target by 25bps to 11.25-11.75%.

The broker expects National Australia Bank’s 1H25 net profit to be -3% down h/h mainly on a -2bps decline in net interest margin. Commentary on capital management, management changes and strategy for business banking will be areas of focus.

PLS    PILBARA MINERALS LIMITED

New Battery Elements – Overnight Price: $1.54

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

Goldman Sachs notes Pilbara Minerals reported 3Q25 spodumene production of 125kt, -7% below forecast, impacted by cyclone disruptions and P1000 expansion tie-ins, though unit costs of $685/t were marginally better than expected.

The analyst says FY25 production guidance remains unchanged, with a stronger June quarter exit rate anticipated and ongoing cost reduction initiatives.

Growth projects, including the Colina project and P2000 feasibility study, are now expected to drive production to 2.1Mtpa by 2030, though free cash flow generation is forecast to remain subdued mid-decade due to capital spending needs.

Despite a strong balance sheet with $1.062bn cash, net cash is expected to decline until late-decade given investment in expansion projects.

Goldman Sachs lifts EPS estimates by 5% and 2% for FY25/FY26, respectively. Neutral rating retained with a $1.75 target price.

Since that time, there has been a prolonged period of depressed lithium prices coinciding with elevated investment in growth, highlights the broker.

As per the March quarter activities report, the company generated $39m of cash (pre-capex) or $12m (post sustaining capex).

PNR    PANTORO GOLD LIMITED

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $2.84

Moelis rates ((PNR)) as Hold (3) –

Pantoro Gold reported March quarter production of 18.3koz, below guidance of 20.725.3koz and Moelis’ estimate of 22.7koz, with all-in-sustaining-costs rising to $2,427/oz due to delays in ramping up the Scotia Underground.

The analyst notes the shortfall was driven by staffing constraints and development decisions deferring ounces into April, reflected in June quarter guidance of 2326koz.

The analyst observes management offered no update on FY25 guidance of 8595koz, implying a stronger June quarter is required to meet the lower end.

Other operations, including the OK mine, are performing in line or better than planned. Hold rating retained with a $3.16 target price.

The analyst observes development capital has increased to -US$523m, while the mine life has been extended 57% on improved reserves, though annual output is -25% below previous estimates.

Canaccord Genuity’s post-tax net present value for the project is estimated at US$1.15bn with internal rate of return of 46%, and Perseus is expected to fund development internally from a March quarter liquidity position of US$1.1bn.

The analyst notes US Casualty premium growth to US$250m and improved US business profitability following portfolio exits and reserving actions, alongside reinvestment in AI for underwriting and claims efficiency.

Reinsurer support has strengthened with lower retention levels, and organic growth is prioritised over M&A, though selective acquisitions remain an option.

RMD    RESMED INC

Medical Equipment & Devices – Overnight Price: $36.75

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

Goldman Sachs notes ResMed reported a 3Q25 result broadly in line with expectations, with non-GAAP income from operations around 1% ahead of consensus, driven by a sequential gross margin improvement of 70bps.

The analyst points to US mask sales growth of 13%, offsetting slightly weaker US device sales, and confirms US tariff exemptions (largely) which support future margin expansion.

ResMed announced the planned US$100m per quarter share buyback from 4Q25 which the broker believes signals management’s confidence in core product demand and strategy execution.

Goldman Sachs FY25 EPS forecast is largely unchanged but FY26 and FY27 are raised by 5.8% and 6.1% respectively, reflecting tariff removal and stronger operational leverage.

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

In Jarden’s view, ResMed delivered a strong third quarter result, reinforcing its safe-haven status with robust top-line growth, a rising gross margin at the top end of guidance, and an accelerated share buyback program.

The broker highlights the gross margin improved by 70bps quarter-on-quarter to 59.9%, three months ahead of expectations, driven by manufacturing efficiencies, cost savings, product mix and procurement benefits.

Guidance suggests to the analysts margins could exceed 60% in the fourth quarter.

Tariff exemption confirmation under the Nairobi Protocol was a key positive, according to Jarden, ensuring ResMed’s US operations avoid new 10% tariffs, with management also emphasising the company’s growing US manufacturing presence.

The analyst highlights device and mask sales growth reverted to long-term trends, with the backlog in diagnostic and referral channels mostly cleared, and confirms tariff exemptions (largely) for ResMed’s products.

Gross margin improved 140 basis points year-on-year due to manufacturing efficiencies and favourable mix, while operating cash flow rose 44% to US$579m, supporting a net cash position.

RSG    RESOLUTE MINING LIMITED

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $0.50

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

Canaccord Genuity observes Resolute Mining’s March quarter production of 75koz was below its forecast of 81koz but above consensus, with weaker performance at Syama and Mako.

All-in-sustaining-costs rose to US$1,708/oz, above expectations due to lower output, though improved revenue from higher gold prices is expected to offset cost risks.

Management’s FY25 guidance of 275-300koz is unchanged, with meaningful free cash flow projected at US$159m, potentially rising to US$193m at spot prices.

The analyst highlights growth potential from Syama expansion (Q2 2026) and Senegal prospects, with a possible future cash windfall from the Ravenswood asset sale.

Mining – Overnight Price: $2.78

Canaccord Genuity rates ((S32)) as Upgrade to Hold from Sell (3) –

Canaccord Genuity upgrades South32 to Hold from Sell after the March quarter update, noting alumina and aluminium production met expectations while manganese, silver and copper were weaker.

The analyst highlights a -10% downgrade to Cannington production guidance due to geotechnical issues, along with higher cost expectations at US$195/t ore processed.

Despite industrial metal price weakness and Hermosa capital cost concerns, valuation metrics have improved with South32’s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation multiple now 45 times, implying limited downside.

Canaccord Genuity’s FY25 earnings forecasts are raised by 9% on lower group costs, while FY26 is lowered by -3% on weaker copper revenues. Target price remains unchanged at $2.60.

Goldman Sachs rates ((S32)) as Buy (1) –

Goldman Sachs notes South32 reported a solid 3Q25 report. Aluminium, alumina, and copper production were all up on the previous year with robust operating cash flow.

The balance sheet had cash on hand of around US$250m pre a US$150m dividend payment at the end of the period.

Management retained FY25 guidance except for the Cannington zinc/silver mine, the broker highlights, where production guidance declined by -10% arising from geotechnical problems.

SPK    SPARK NEW ZEALAND LIMITED

Telecommunication – Overnight Price: $1.95

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

A subdued commentary from Jarden on Spark New Zealand’s outlook, but the key one is a downgrade to the FY26 dividend forecast to NZ17c from NZ20c to align with sustainable free cash flow.

Retaining A- rating may also be a factor in the company lowering its dividend forecast, even though the broker believes the balance sheet is strong to support the rating.

The analyst retained the FY25 EBITDA forecast but cut the FY26 estimate by -2.6% on challenging market conditions for the enterprise/government business. The broker highlights taking data centres off-balance sheet into SPV is important for the free cash flow outlook.

Overweight. Target cut to NZ$2.80 from NZ$3.10.

STO    SANTOS LIMITED

NatGas – Overnight Price: $6.12

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

Santos’ 1Q25 production and sales beat Goldman Sachs’ forecast by 4% due mainly to higher-than-expected production from PNG. Revenue also beat the broker’s estimate by 7% due to higher production and higher realised domestic gas prices.

The company’s FY25 production guidance is in line with the analyst but the capex estimate is lower. The broker lifted FY25 EBITDA forecast by 1% on higher LNG production.

Buy. Target rises to $7.85 from $7.80.

This report was published on April 17, 2025.

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

Jarden retains an Overweight rating for Santos following an in-line March quarter update. Production of 21.9mmboe broadly matched the broker’s estimates and free cash flow of $465m exceeded expectations due to higher realised gas prices.

The broker highlights Barossa LNG delivery remains the key focus, noting the project is 95.2% complete but still reliant on final Environment Plan approval before first gas into Darwin LNG.

A faster-than-forecast ramp-up at Pikka Phase 1, now expected to reach 80,000bopd by mid-2026, could help offset Barossa-related gearing concerns, suggest the analysts.

The broker upgrades FY25 earnings (EBITDA) by around 2% on stronger realised sales and makes minor adjustments to FY26-27 production and cost assumptions.

Jarden retains a $6.70 target price and Overweight rating.

STX    STRIKE ENERGY LIMITED

NatGas – Overnight Price: $0.17

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

Goldman Sachs notes Strike Energy’s March quarter production and sales revenue were in line with expectations, with total production of 2.3 petajoules equivalent and sales revenue of $19m.

The analyst highlights progress on the strategic review and CEO appointment expected by mid-May, along with continued development of the South Erregulla 85MW peaking power plant, on track for commissioning by October 2026.

Goldman Sachs observes the Walyering gas field continues to generate strong cash flow, supporting funding for new developments, while the West Erregulla joint venture with Hancock is under strategic reassessment.

Forecasts for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation are revised slightly higher, but the 12-month target price remains unchanged at $0.25 per share. Buy rating is retained.

This report was published on April 28, 2025.

THL    TOURISM HOLDINGS LIMITED

Travel, Leisure & Tourism – Overnight Price: $1.34

Jarden rates ((THL)) as Downgrade to Overweight from Buy (2) –

Tourism Holdings Rentals provided a trading update indicating to Jarden a further deterioration in vehicle sales and a slowdown in forward bookings in the US.

Management believes underlying profit for FY25 will be “significantly below” the current consensus forecast.

The broker notes a material decline in US tourism bookings, although rental demand outside the US remains positive, supporting a more stable outlook into FY26.

While net debt remains manageable under extended facilities, Jarden highlights a higher net debt to earnings, well above pre-covid levels, raising concerns over balance sheet pressure if trading conditions worsen further.

Jarden downgrades earnings forecasts by -32%-40% across FY25-27, reflecting reduced vehicle sales, lower rental revenue per asset, and a smaller fleet size. The target falls to NZ$3.00 from NZ$4.21 and the rating is downgraded to Overweight from Buy.

Jarden notes the company’s dominant A&NZ market position and resilience in rental yields, but also recognises uncertainty in North America due to tariff risks.

This report was published on April 22, 2025.

VAU    VAULT MINERALS LIMITED

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $0.44

Moelis rates ((VAU)) as Buy (1) –

Moelis observes Vault Minerals reported March quarter gold sales of 89.8koz at a realised price of $3,812/oz, below consensus expectations, with all-in-sustaining-costs of $2,553/oz versus consensus of $2,409/oz. 

Management’s FY25 sales guidance of 390-410koz at $2,250-$2,450/oz remains unchanged, with confidence in a strong June quarter driven by higher grade ore access at Koth.

Despite the softer quarter, the company retains a robust balance sheet with $625m in cash and bullion and no debt, positioning it well for potential capital returns, the broker believes.

Commentary suggests forward momentum is supported by hedge book roll-off, reduced capital spend at smaller operations, and throughput optimisation at Koth. Buy rating and $0.68 target price are maintained.

This report was published on April 29, 2025.

Target price is $0.68 Current Price is $0.44 Difference: $0.24

WBC    WESTPAC BANKING CORPORATION

Banks – Overnight Price: $32.66

Jarden rates ((WBC)) as Underweight (4) –

Ahead of upcoming banks’ half-yearly results, Jarden notes fundamentals have been set aside in favour of flows and passive in recent weeks, with CommBank ((CBA)) emerging as the most loved stock. 

The broker expects net margin compression across all majors except ANZ Bank, due to shifts in deposit mix and lending competition. Buybacks are also seen as less likely as banks’ preference would be to lift CET1 target by 25bps to 11.25-11.75%.

The broker expects Westpac to post net profit of $3.59bn in 1H25, down -1% h/h, mainly due to a -3bps decline in net interest margin. Commentary on top-line growth, updates on UNITE and NIM management will be watched.

Underweight. Target unchanged at $31.

This report was published on April 23, 2025.

Target price is $31.00 Current Price is $32.66 Difference: minus $1.66 (current price is over target).

WDS    WOODSIDE ENERGY GROUP LIMITED

NatGas – Overnight Price: $20.66

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

Woodside Energy’s first quarter results were broadly in line with Goldman Sachs’ estimates, with Sangomar delivering strong plateau production rates and group production of 49.1mmboe, 1% above forecasts.

Total revenue of US$3.32bn also exceeded the broker’s forecasts by 1%, supported by higher LNG trading margins.

Management maintained full-year 2025 guidance.

The broker notes Sangomar’s strong performance prompted a reserves upgrade, lifting production forecasts towards the upper end of guidance, though Phase 2 development is expected beyond 2030 due to Louisiana LNG funding priorities.

While progress continues towards a final investment decision for Louisiana LNG, tariff uncertainties around imported materials could result in an estimated -US$500m of additional capex, explains Goldman Sachs.

The broker remains Neutral on Woodside Energy citing a full valuation and limited near-term production growth. The target rises to $24.20 from $23.90.

This report was published on April 22, 2025.

Target price is $24.20 Current Price is $20.66 Difference: $3.54
