Broker Rating Changes (Post Thursday Last Week)

Upgrade

ORA BANDA MINING LIMITED ((OBM)) Upgrade to Buy from Hold by Moelis.B/H/S: 0/0/0

Moelis upgrades Ora Banda Mining to Buy from Hold with a 92c target price due to the fall in the share price and a de-risked target for higher capital and operating costs in future forecasts, not just the June quarter update.

The analyst explains the downgrade in the miner’s production and cost outlook for the balance of FY25, which is now over, and notes it could raise further risks to the FY26 outlook, which is flagged for next week in the quarterly update (no date given).

The broker’s EPS estimate for FY25 falls by -48.5% and lifts by 5.8% for FY26.

Downgrade

HUB24 LIMITED ((HUB)) Downgrade to Hold from Buy by Moelis.B/H/S: 0/0/0

Moelis downgrades Hub24 to Hold from Buy due to the stock’s valuation, but the analyst acknowledges robust market conditions will most likely underscore a strong share price.

The platform’s 4Q25 update continued to reflect strong momentum, with net flows of $5.3bn, higher than both the analyst’s and consensus forecasts, excluding large transitions of $1.2bn, above Moelis’ forecast of $0.9bn.

The Equity Trustees ((EQT)) migrations have now been completed.

The most recent Plan for Life data in March showed HUB had achieved the largest quarterly and annual market share gains of all the platform providers, up to 8.7% from 7.2% in March.

Adviser growth rose 12.6% on a year earlier, which is considered a good indicator of future flows.

Moelis lifts EPS forecasts by 4.4% for FY25 and 11% for FY26, with an accompanying rise in the target price to $107.94.

IKEGPS GROUP LIMITED ((IKE)) Downgrade to Hold from Buy by Moelis.B/H/S: 0/0/0

Moelis notes ikeGPS Group raised $18m via share placement and plans to raise an additional $2m through share purchase plan. The offer price was at a -4.7% discount to the last close.

The funds will support working capital, new product development and related costs, providing a financial buffer until the company generates positive cash flow, Moelis observes.

The company reiterated guidance for 35% or higher subscription revenue growth for FY26. Target price cut to $0.93 from $1.01 on equity dilution. Rating downgraded to Hold from Buy.

NICK SCALI LIMITED ((NCK)) Downgrade to Neutral from Overweight by Jarden.B/H/S: 0/0/0

In an update on furniture and home stocks, Jarden notes online continues to outperform. Turnover was down -5.1% in 2025 year-to-date, with homeware likely outperforming while furniture sales may be mixed.

The broker notes discounting was deeper and broader than in previous years, but expects pricing to become more rational in FY26.

The broker reckons Nick Scali could disappoint expectations on written sales orders and gross profit margins. The analyst cut net profit forecasts for FY25-27 by -1% to -2%.

Target cut to $17.71 from $18.50. Rating downgraded to Neutral from Overweight.

GGP    GREATLAND RESOURCES LIMITED

Gold & Silver Overnight Price: $6.78 

Jarden rates ((GGP)) as Initiation of coverage with Overweight (2)

Jarden has initiated coverage of Greatland Resources with an Overweight rating and target price of $6.20.

The broker believes the company offers a unique offering in the mid-cap gold space. The key positive is a free cash flow generating Telfer operation, which is expected to generate enough cash to fund the Havieron development.

The analyst is modelling a five-year mining inventory plus one year of stockpiles for Telfer. For the Haverion development and expansion, the broker is forecasting total remaining capex of -$1.3-1.4bn, and expects production to transition there from FY28.

NEC    NINE ENTERTAINMENT CO. HOLDINGS LIMITED

Print, Radio & TV Overnight Price: $1.68 

Jarden rates ((NEC)) as Overweight (2)

Ahead of Nine Entertainment’s FY25 result on August 27, Jarden is pondering what the company will look like after the Domain ((DHG)) sale is completed. 

The broker believes digital revenues will continue to be significant, contributing 47% to revenue post-Domain. For FY25, the broker’s group revenue forecast is 0.2% ahead of consensus, but the EBITDA forecast is -3% lower.

The broker lifted FY25 EPS forecast by 3% and FY26 by 4.3% after updating forecasts to reflect the acquisition of Optus sport assets, a small rise in television revenue and updated estimates for Domain volumes.

If the Domain sale is completed in August and the company pays $0.48/share special dividend, the analyst expects the valuation will decline to $1.27, all else equal.

Overweight. Target unchanged at $1.80.

This report was published on July 11, 2025.

Target price is $1.80 Current Price is $1.68 Difference: $0.12

TYR    TYRO PAYMENTS LIMITED

Business & Consumer Credit Overnight Price: $0.96 

Wilsons rates ((TYR)) as Overweight (1)

While Wilsons expects limited changes to the outlook for Tyro Payments based on the RBA’s consultation paper on interchange fee reductions, the broker believes the underlying merchants will most likely have to bear the incremental 1.5% cost of doing business.

This means the merchants are likely to raise their prices by the same amount, which would impact consumer savings, Wilsons explains.
