Buy

$6.70

6.01%

Post the Steadfast Group investor day, UBS highlights the company’s growth outlook remains intact, with at least a decade of domestic M&A potential.

The analyst dismisses the market concerns about a shrinking acquisition runway with management pointing to a further circa $435m in accretive earnings domestically via M&A, equating to around 80% of the current profit base. 

The US expansion is progressing slower than expected, with management focusing on the US$6bn insurance market

UBS has lifted FY24/FY25 EPS forecasts by 1-2%, reflecting upgraded FY24 guidance and further investment potential in FY25. 

Buy rating and $6.70 target unchanged.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 18.00 cents and EPS of 28.00 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 18.00 cents and EPS of 29.00 cents.

Neutral

$6.10

-3.48%

Global equity markets have posted a second consecutive quarter of outsized returns, underpinning positive March quarter mark-to-market investment gains across Jarden's insurance coverage universe.

The broker suggests general insurer earnings should be further supported by CAT budget beats over the quarter, particularly for the domestic general insurers, which are now past their peak exposure period.

Overall, Jarden prefer general insurer exposures over private health insurers and brokers, with Buy-rated QBE Insurance the top pick.

In the broker category, the $6.10 target and Neutral rating are maintained for Steadfast Group.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 18.20 cents and EPS of 27.30 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 20.10 cents and EPS of 29.30 cents.
