The company is included in ASX200, ASX300 and 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.

BGL    BELLEVUE GOLD LIMITED

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $0.92

Jarden rates ((BGL)) as Neutral (3) –

Bellevue Gold reported FY25 underlying profit of $38m before one-off charges, while a headline net loss of -$46m reflected -$118m in non-recurring items tied to hedge restructuring, explains Jarden.

The broker highlights strong operating cash flow (OCF) despite weak accounting results, with the restructure positioning the company to capture record spot Australian dollar prices of around $5,420/oz. Only 5.6koz was hedged at $2,835/oz in the first half of FY26.

Underlying earnings of $225m were around 7% above the analysts’ $210m forecast, though the beat was mainly due to accounting adjustments rather than operational factors.

Net finance costs rose to -$30m, versus -$23m expected by Jarden, driven by a -$7.2m credit fee issued in shares. Total lease liabilities increased to -$238m, including a -$100m addition related to a power purchase agreement.

Guidance for FY26 remains 130-150koz at costs (AISC) of $2,600-2,900/oz and growth capital of -$80-90m. 

Jarden lowers its target to 84c from 86c, offsetting improved earnings forecasts with higher lease liabilities, and retains a Neutral rating.

This report was published on September 3, 2025.

Target price is $0.84 Current Price is $0.92 Difference: minus $0.08 (current price is over target).
If BGL meets the Jarden target it will return approximately minus 9% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).

CAY    CANYON RESOURCES LIMITED

Aluminium, Bauxite & Alumina – Overnight Price: $0.26

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

Canyon Resources published a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for its Minim Martap bauxite project in Cameroon, which confirmed a larger, longer-life project with competitive costs and strong premiums, Canaccord Genuity notes.

The DFS pointed to a 20-year mine life and ramp-up to 9Mtpa of bauxite by 2032, 41% higher peak production vs the broker’s previous forecast of 6.4Mtpa.

Capex rises to -US$446m but the broker reckons it is a modest 20% increase from its previous forecast. Stage 1 capex of -US$96m is expected to achieve first ore sales, and the broker expects this to be funds from current cash and debt facilities.

Speculative Buy. Target rises to 40c from 35c.

CHC    CHARTER HALL GROUP

REITs – Overnight Price: $23.02

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

Jarden notes REIT stocks outperformed in August, up 6.2%, with the performance supported by the sector exceeding elevated expectations during the result season.

Macro tailwinds like rate cuts, cap rate compression and limited supply support rental/price growth and asset values. Balance sheets are healthy, enabling capital deployment and potential consolidation-driven upside.

Among key risks in the broker’s view are elevated rates vs past cycles, regulatory headwinds, and a wide gap between underlying and cash-backed earnings.

The broker sees Charter Hall as one of the best-positioned plays on a cyclical property market recovery, supported by moderating interest rates, rising transaction volumes, and improving equity flows.

Overweight. Target rises to $26.20 from $25.10.

This report was published on September 3, 2025.

Jarden notes REIT stocks outperformed in August, up 6.2%, with the performance supported by the sector exceeding elevated expectations during the result season.

Macro tailwinds like rate cuts, cap rate compression and limited supply support rental/price growth and asset values. Balance sheets are healthy, enabling capital deployment and potential consolidation-driven upside.

Among key risks in the broker’s view are elevated rates vs past cycles, regulatory headwinds, and a wide gap between underlying and cash-backed earnings.

The broker notes Centuria Capital’s FY25 result was solid, and FY26 FFO guidance was ahead of expectation, with $60m share buyback an added positive.

This report was published on September 3, 2025.

DUG    DUG TECHNOLOGY LIMITED

Cloud services – Overnight Price: $2.15

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

Dug Technology has signed a Letter of Award with Petronas for a three-year contract with a net value of US$18.2m, and an option to extend for another two years.

Canaccord Genuity notes the contract following strong Work in Hand at the end of FY25. It suggests the company retains growth optionality, with multiple offerings (Services, Software, Cool, Nomad, Multi-client) and a strengthened client franchise.

Further wins in Brazil/Middle East would reinforce the company’s IP-driven differentiation in the broker’s view. The broker will also watch for further conversion from Work in Hand, with upside risk if eMP-FWI drives faster conversion.

Buy. Target rises to $2.55 from $2.45.

This report was published on September 3, 2025.

Target price is $2.55 Current Price is $2.15 Difference: $0.4

All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena’s consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources

EBO    EBOS GROUP LIMITED

Healthcare services – Overnight Price: $26.88

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

Jarden notes FY25 marked a reset year for Ebos Group with earnings impacted by the loss of Chemist Warehouse Australia contract, competitive pharmacy pressures, and higher costs from the renewal of distribution centres.

The company expects headwinds to persist through 1H26, with leverage and PBS momentum benefits emerging in FY27.

The broker highlights Animal Care remained a steady performer (around 21% underlying EBITDA), with Next Gen and SVS adding future growth options. SE Asia Medical Devices (Transmedic) delivered strong growth and continues to offer bolt-on M&A opportunities.

Overweight. Target unchanged at $39, as the broker sees FY26 as a transitional year with long-term growth and ROCE momentum resuming from FY27–28.

HMC    HMC CAPITAL LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $3.53

Jarden rates ((HMC)) as Downgrade to Neutral from Overweight (3) –

Jarden notes REIT stocks outperformed in August, up 6.2%, with the performance supported by the sector exceeding elevated expectations during the result season.

Macro tailwinds like rate cuts, cap rate compression and limited supply support rental/price growth and asset values. Balance sheets are healthy, enabling capital deployment and potential consolidation-driven upside.

Among key risks in the broker’s view are elevated rates vs past cycles, regulatory headwinds, and a wide gap between underlying and cash-backed earnings.

In the case of HMC Capital, the broker believes earnings are dependent on the ability to raise unlisted capital where the track record is minimal. Forecasts and valuation lowered to reflect the range of possibilities.

Rating downgraded to Neutral from Overweight. Target trimmed to $4.00 from $5.20.

This report was published on September 3, 2025.

IPX    IPERIONX LIMITED

Industrial Metals – Overnight Price: $6.69

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

Canaccord Genuity highlights the expansion at IperionX’s stage 1 capacity at Virginia TMC comes with materially improved economics. This is reflected in lower stage 2 capex of -US$75m vs prior -US$100m, and a decline in costs to US$29/kg.

More importantly, the pivot from powders to manufactured titanium products transforms the earnings profile, with EBITDA potential of US$260m at 1,400tpa from early 2028.

The broker sees the risk/reward improving materially as IperionX captures higher-value markets.

Speculative Buy. Target rises to $8.90 from $6.65.

This report was published on September 3, 2025.

Target price is $8.90 Current Price is $6.69 Difference: $2.21

LOT    LOTUS RESOURCES LIMITED

Uranium – Overnight Price: $0.20

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

Lotus Resources has produced its first yellowcake at Kayelekera, the first output since the mine was placed into care and maintenance by Paladin Energy ((PDN)) in 2014, highlights Petra Capital.

Initial production is from stockpiles, with the company targeting 200,000lbs per month, or 2.4mlbs annually, at steady state by March quarter 2026. This production outlook compares to Paladin’s earlier definitive feasibility study assumption of 3.3mlbs, notes the analyst.

While restarting production is an achievement, the broker cautions achieving consistent operations will be more challenging. Lotus is expected to air freight small sample volumes to converters for requalification, with the first shipment anticipated before year end.

Petra Capital expects cash inflows from sales only by June quarter 2026 due to freight, acceptance and payment timelines.

Existing fixed-price offtake contracts extend to 2029, and the company is not pursuing further fixed-price agreements while long-term prices remain elevated.

Petra Capital lowers its target price to 27c from 30c and retains a Buy rating.

This report was published on September 3, 2025.

Target price is $0.27 Current Price is $0.20 Difference: $0.065

Forecast for FY25:

Petra Capital forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of minus 1.04 cents.

MPL    MEDIBANK PRIVATE LIMITED

Insurance – Overnight Price: $4.96

Jarden rates ((MPL)) as Neutral (3) –

The latest APRA data show industry policyholder growth of 2.2% year-on-year, with competitive pressures still elevated, notes Jarden.

Claims per policy growth eased to 1.8% in the June quarter from 2.6% in the March quarter, with lower hospital and extras utilisation reducing gross margin pressure.

FY25 gross margins declined -20bps, though a 50bps improvement in the management expense ratio lifted industry net margins to 3.1% from 2.8% in FY24.

The broker highlights switching activity remained elevated at 5.3% following the April industry premium rise. State trends diverged, with NSW hospital benefits up 6.1% in the quarter, QLD down -4.0%, and VIC broadly flat at 0.9%.

Jarden observes claims growth remains well below pre-covid averages.

Earnings forecasts remain unchanged but Jarden suggests continued weakness in utilisation could improve gross margins in FY26.

The broker maintains a preference for nib Holdings ((NHF)) over Medibank given a stronger two-year EPS growth profile of 10.7% versus 6.0% and a superior 12-month total shareholder return of 11.5% versus -3.3%.

This report was published on September 3, 2025.

Target price is $4.60 Current Price is $4.96 Difference: minus $0.36 (current price is over target).
If MPL meets the Jarden target it will return approximately minus 7% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $5.09, suggesting upside of 2.6%(ex-dividends)
The company’s fiscal year ends in June.

Forecast for FY26:

Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 18.10 cents and EPS of 22.70 cents.
At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 3.65%.
At the last closing share price the stock’s estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 21.85.
