Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Jul 09, 2025

Daily Market Reports | 11:15 AM

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.

PTM    PLATINUM ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments - Overnight Price: $0.52

Jarden rates ((PTM)) as Neutral (3) -

Higher net outflows in June for Platinum Asset Management drove funds under management to $8.06bn, which was -2.1% below Jarden's forecast and -7.0% under consensus.

International and Asia fund performance deteriorated further, weighing on flow expectations, suggests the broker, with three-year relative performance reaching -12.7% and -3.7%, respectively.

While these pressures led to outer-year earnings downgrades of circa -5%, the analysts note cost savings continue to provide partial support, with underlying costs forecast to fall to around $61m in FY27 from $75m in FY25

The broker lowers its target price to 37c from 40c and retains a Neutral rating.

S32    SOUTH32 LIMITED

Mining - Overnight Price: $3.04

Canaccord Genuity rates ((S32)) as Hold (3) -

South32 is divesting the Cerro Matoso nickel mine in Colombia to CoreX for a nominal amount plus up to US$100m in contingent payments.

Canaccord Genuity sees the deal as neutral as the declining grade at the mine makes it uneconomical for the company at current nickel prices.

The broker believes the asset sale would increase its FY26 EBITDA estimate by 2%, with FY25 accounts reflecting -US$130m impairment.

Hold. Target unchanged at $2.60.

This report was published on July 7, 2025.

Target price is $2.60 Current Price is $3.04 Difference: minus $0.44 (current price is over target).
