Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Aug 27, 2025

Daily Market Reports | 10:30 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.

AEE    AURA ENERGY LIMITED

Energy - Overnight Price: $0.16

Petra Capital rates ((AEE)) as Buy (1) -

Petra Capital highlights recent events that show growing alignment between the US and Mauritania which will help mitigate perceived country risk, and likely broaden the potential investor base for Aura Energy.

In July, Mauritania was invited to US trade-focused “Mini-Summit” (only five African nations were chosen). 

Buy. Target trimmed to 38c from 40c.

AMA    AMA GROUP LIMITED

Automobiles & Components - Overnight Price: $0.10

Canaccord Genuity rates ((AMA)) as Buy (1) -

AMA Group's FY25 revenue of $1.01bn beat Canaccord Genuity's forecast of $943m on strong volumes in 2H25. EBITDA pre-AASB16 of $62.6m also beat the broker's forecast, while core EBITDA was up 35% y/y.

Capex was higher at -$30.5m vs the broker's -$25m forecast but this was due to higher spend in 2H on investments into equipment and site expansion. The company expects -$40m capex in FY26 before normalisation in FY27.

FY26 pre-AASB16 EBITDA guidance of $70-75m is 16% higher y/y at the midpoint, and the broker reckons it is achievable. After factoring in the result and guidance, pre-AASB16 EBITDA forecast rose 3% for FY26 and 8% and FY27.

Buy. Target rises to 15c from 13c.

This report was published on August 25, 2025.

Target price is $0.15 Current Price is $0.10 Difference: $0.05
