CAR Group reported underlying net profit after tax of $377m, a rise of 10% on the prior year and in line with Citi's and consensus expectations.

The company had already pre-reported FY25 financials, but it did book a further -$10m of costs below the line from M&A and restructuring.

Post meeting, the analyst highlights the company is seeing improvements in both Australia and the US, as well as Korea.

Webmotors is continuing to generate 20%-plus growth, and Citi views the guidance as conservative, but it is too early in the year given uncertainty around the US economy.

Citi reiterates a Buy rating, with the target tweaked lower by -1% to $42.55. The analyst's net profit after tax forecasts slip by -2% for FY26 and -3% for FY27 due to a higher-than-expected effective tax rate, along with increased investment in TI and Encar.

FORECAST
Citi forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 88.30 cents and EPS of 110.40 cents.
Citi forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 101.80 cents and EPS of 127.20 cents.

$34.50

-11.70%

After detailed analysis of CAR Group's FY25 result, Jarden notes operating momentum remains strong with FY26 net profit guidance of 9-13% growth comparing with consensus of 12% before the result.

For FY26, the broker is forecasting 13.2% revenue growth vs guidance of 12-14%, and group EBITDA of 12.5% vs 10-13% guidance. North American organic revenue growth was the focus, and the broker estimates 11.6% revenue and 12.3% EBITDA growth.

The broker also forecasts margin expansion in Australia and Latin America. Overall, FY26 EPS forecast trimmed by -1.9% and FY27 by -3.6%, mainly due to below-the-line items. 

Neutral. Target unchanged at $34.50.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 90.00 cents and EPS of 115.70 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 99.00 cents and EPS of 123.40 cents.
