Citi rates ARB as Buy (1) -
Citi remains cautious around the short-to medium-term outlook for ARB Corp following only a modest recovery in new car sales in July. Weakness in the passenger car segment continued (-9%), though was offset by 6% growth in the SUV category.
New car supply remains constrained for longer than the broker expected, interest rate hikes are adversely impacting
demand for discretionary products and labour challenges persist. The Buy rating and $46.63 target are retained.

Overnight Price: $6.66
Citi rates BAP as Buy (1) -
Citi note only a modest recovery in new car sales in July. Weakness in the passenger car segment continued (-9%), though was offset by 6% growth in the SUV category.
The broker sees Buy-rated Bapcor as best placed within the small cap Auto sector as it benefits from the supply constrained new vehicle market. The relatively non-discretionary nature of product offering, particularly in trade, is also expected to assist. Target $8.03.
Target price is $8.03 Current Price is $6.66 Difference: $1.37

Citi rates BWP as Sell (5) -
Citi highlights like-for-like rental growth has strong momentum for BWP Trust as 54% of leases are linked to CPI escalations and strong market rent reviews. This was evident from FY22 results and the business is now expected to perform well in FY23 and beyond.
The broker highlights like-for-like rental growth was 3.3%, which surprised the market, up from 2.2% in December 2021.
The broker likes the strong operational fundamentals and prudent financial positioning by management and lifts its target to $3.90 from $3.52. Low gearing of 15.1% and 55.2% hedging cover protects the trust from rising interest rates.
As the analyst points to a strong relative valuation premium versus the sector, the Sell rating is unchanged.
Target price is $3.90 Current Price is $4.29 Difference: minus $0.39 (current price is over target).
If BWP meets the Citi target it will return approximately minus 9% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Morgan Stanley rates BWP as Underweight (5) -
BWP Trust's FY22 profit was a slight beat compared to Morgan Stanley's forecast, as like-for-like rental growth came in stronger than expected, assisted by CPI tailwinds. This theme is expected to continue for FY23.
Management guided to a FY23 DPS similar to the 18.3cps in FY22. The Underweight rating and $3.60 target are retained. Industry view: In-Line.
Target price is $3.60 Current Price is $4.29 Difference: minus $0.69 (current price is over target).
If BWP meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately minus 16% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Ord Minnett rates BWP as Hold (3) -
Following BWP Trust's FY22 result, Ord Minnett highlights strong like-for-like rent growth of 3.3%, the highest level since 2014, due to a high proportion of CPI-linked reviews.
The final distribution of 9.27cpu brings the the full-year distribution to 18.29cpu.
However, the broker feels potential upsides are priced into the current share price and retains a Hold rating. The upsides are ongoing leverage to the CPI, and pent-up investor demand for assets with secure covenants such as Bunnings.
There is portfolio lease expiry risk, points out the analyst, with 80% of leases up for renewal from FY24 to FY27.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $4.20 Current Price is $4.29 Difference: minus $0.09 (current price is over target).

Overnight Price: $100.47
Morgan Stanley rates CBA as Underweight (5) -
In anticipation of a good 2H result, Morgan Stanley lifts its target price for CommBank to $82 from $79 after raising its FY23 margin forecast by around 4bps. Industry view: Attractive.
The broker sees a brighter near-term earnings outlook from robust volume growth, margin trends and sound credit quality. However, the Underweight rating remains, in the belief the stock is pricing-in a soft economic landing and ongoing franchise outperformance.

CommBank's FY22 result is due on Wednesday August 10, and Ord Minnett expects 2H cash net profit from continuing operations of $4.805bn, and a final dividend of $2.05/share.
The analyst expects commentary on the net interest margin (NIM) outlook will be key, given the dynamics for higher interest rates and deposit market rates.
The Hold rating and $83.80 target are unchanged.

Overnight Price: $22.60
Macquarie rates CCP as Outperform (1) -
Credit Corp's FY22 result fell 1% shy of Macquarie's forecasts as weak growth in the US workforce proved a headwind for collections and the macro environment kept Australia and New Zealand volumes in check.
Conditions were challenging but the broker says the result was supported by a record US purchased debt ledgers (PDL) outlay. Gross loan volume exceeded the FY19 record by 24%.

UBS rates UMG as Downgrade to Neutral from Buy (3) -
United Malt downgrades earnings guidance at the Investor Day, only 2 months after re-affirming guidance which UBS believes raises concerns around management "visibility" into the earnings and operations.
