$2.50

27.55%

Southern Cross Electrical Engineering's FY25 result showed revenue of $802m, up 45% year-on-year and ahead of Bell Potter’s $773m estimate and consensus at $782m.

Earnings (EBITDA) of $54.8m were in line with the broker's forecast, while profit of $31.7m was just below expectations but still up 45%.

Gross margin fell to 13.2% from 15% due to project mix and legal costs, explain the analysts, though it recovered to 13.7% in the second half.

A final dividend of 5c brought the full-year payout to 7.5c, slightly under the broker’s 8c forecast.

FY26 earnings guidance of $65-68m, or 21% growth at the midpoint, is supported by a $685m order book weighted to Infrastructure, assess the analysts. Management is actively tendering for battery and wind projects and expects further contract awards soon.

Bell Potter retains a Buy rating and a $2.50 target price.

FORECAST
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 9.00 cents and EPS of 14.80 cents.
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 10.00 cents and EPS of 16.30 cents.

Moelis highlights Southern Cross Electrical Engineering's FY25 result reached new record levels on revenue, EBITDA and net profit, and broadly met its forecasts and consensus.

A rebound of 100bps in gross profit margin in 2H was among the highlights. Infrastructure revene was the key driver, up 11% y/y, offsetting the decline in commercial and resources revenue.

FY26 EBITDA guidance of $65-68m represents 18-24% y/y growth vs FY25, with the broker noting infrastructure order book is 66% of the total order book.

FY26 EPS forecast trimmed by -4% but FY27 lifted by 0.1%. Buy. Target lifted to $2.35 from $2.20.

FORECAST
Moelis forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 7.50 cents and EPS of 14.90 cents.
Moelis forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 7.50 cents and EPS of 15.60 cents.
