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.

Canaccord Genuity rates ((HUB)) as Buy (1) –
Canaccord Genuity maintains a Buy rating and lowers its price target to $102.60 for HUB24 following this week’s third-quarter update.
Platform net inflows of $4.0bn slightly missed expectations due to a one-off institutional outflow, though underlying retail flows delivered strong growth over the previous year, the broker points out.
The company anticipates holding onto most funds under administration despite delays to the closure of the Xplore managed discretionary account.
Management expects to meet the upgraded FY27 platform capacity guidance of $160bn to $170bn as the structural shift toward independent platforms continues and adviser growth reaches a two-year high.

Jarden rates ((HUB)) as Buy (1) –
Jarden maintains a Buy rating and $115.30 price target for Hub24 following the platform operator’s March quarter update.
The broker observes group net inflows missed expectations due to a one-off institutional client exit despite strong growth in the core retail segment.
Management remains confident in meeting its FY27 platform capacity guidance as the broader structural shift toward independent platforms continues.

The broker anticipates a soft quarter with operating earnings of $326m sitting -5% below consensus expectations.
Margin pressures in the gaming segment reflect market entry investments for the Grover Indiana rollout alongside steady tariff costs.
Despite short-term headwinds, commentary notes underlying market demand remains robust and the core replacement cycle is holding up well.

Lark Distilling delivered net sales in the third quarter of $4.3m. Direct exports of $400,000 were lighter than expected.
Operating cash outflow of -$2.1m was larger than anticipated by Moelis because of the timing of cash receipts.
The broker notes global spirits sector multiples have de-rated significantly since covid, yet at the current share price the downside should be supported by asset backing, while export market growth provides re-rating potential into FY27.
Moelis retains a Buy rating and raises its target to $1.00 from $0.88.

LYC LYNAS RARE EARTHS LIMITED
Rare Earth Minerals – Overnight Price: $19.71
Canaccord Genuity rates ((LYC)) as Buy (1) –
Canaccord Genuity maintains a Buy rating and $22.00 price target for Lynas Rare Earths following a softer March quarter production update.
The broker observes NdPr production missed expectations due to lower output from the Kalgoorlie facility during process improvements.
Higher average selling prices from an optimised product mix and rising Chinese prices helped offset the lower sales volumes.
FY26 earnings estimates are downgraded to reflect reduced near-term production and higher operating costs for fuel and acid.
Despite short-term operational challenges, the longer-term market outlook remains positive and firming up downstream magnet plans could provide a material valuation catalyst, the report suggests.
This report was published on April 21, 2026.

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $6.87
Canaccord Genuity rates ((MAF)) as Buy (1) –
Canaccord Genuity maintains a Buy rating and lowers the price target for MA Financial Group Limited to $11.10 following the first-quarter update.
Total net inflows of $141m missed expectations, although the retail and high-net-worth segment performed strongly with $156m of net inflows.
Growth was heavily supported by the Priority Income Fund, which secured $170m and continues to track ahead of performance targets.
Revisions to earnings forecasts reflect a softer net flow outlook, though the broker believes the underlying loan book remains sound with no visible erosion in asset quality.
The analyst views the recent share price underperformance as a temporary reaction and considers the current valuation an attractive entry point.
One day prior, the response had been as follows:
Canaccord Genuity maintains a Buy rating and $11.30 price target for MA Financial following a Q1 FY26 update highlighting strong momentum in the Priority Income Fund.
The broker expects net inflows of $430m, excluding the Marion mandate loss and MA Aged Care fund wind-up. Managed assets are targeting an ending balance of $15.1bn, while the Redcape property fund delivered 2.93% quarterly performance to support possible 2H FY26 performance fees.
Strategic expansion into commercial lending targets average monthly settlements of $1bn, commentary highlights, which would provide a significant contribution relative to historical levels.
Management remains cautious of consumer strain impacts on MA Money loan losses, but anticipates credit quality concerns will abate as offshore markets stabilise.
This report was published on April 21, 2026.
Target price is $11.10 Current Price is $6.87 Difference: $4.23
