Overnight Price: $31.71
Citi rates APT as Buy (1) -
The trading update signals stronger-than-expected customer growth and in-line merchant sales. Citi maintains a Buy rating and continues to envisage upside risk to medium-term forecasts.
The company is expected to use the proceeds from its strategic placement to accelerate international expansion and the broker envisages Canada and Europe as logical opportunities. Target of $31.10 maintained.

Morgan Stanley rates APT as Overweight (1) -
AUSTRAC will receive the final auditor's report by November 23, at which time the company will provide a market update.
Morgan Stanley considers this a possible positive catalyst, even if technical breaches of the act are confirmed and moderate penalties are incurred.
The broker suspects there is a discount embedded in the stock price and, after the removal of the AUSTRAC overhang, it should react positively.
Overweight rating and $44 target. Industry view is In-Line.
Target price is $44.00 Current Price is $31.71 Difference: $12.29
If APT meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately 39% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgans rates APT as Add (1) -
An AGM update from Afterpay Touch for the first four months of FY20 suggested all key metrics are showing positive momentum, the broker notes, and margins are stable. The company also announced a strategic agreement with Mastercard along with eBay Australia beginning in 2020, and a private placement of $200m at $28.50ps, escrowed for twelve months.
The broker upgrades FY20 forecast earnings by 16%, noting this is off a low base, and lifts its target to $32.60 from $31.75. Add retained.
Target price is $32.60 Current Price is $31.71 Difference: $0.89
If APT meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

UBS rates APT as Sell (5) -
The business update has indicated more than 400,000 customers have become active in the UK since the launch and there were $100m in underlying sales in the four months to October 31.
As a result, UBS raises FY20 sales forecasts for the UK by 90% and increases assumptions for UK subscribers to 6% of the adult population over the long-term.
While this drives near-term upgrades to earnings estimates, longer-term underlying sales and transaction margin forecasts are relatively unchanged. Sell rating maintained. Target rises to $17.60 from $17.25.
Target price is $17.60 Current Price is $31.71 Difference: minus $14.11 (current price is over target).

Overnight Price: $1.84
Credit Suisse rates AST as Neutral (3) -
First half earnings were slightly below Credit Suisse forecasts. The broker acknowledges half of the miss to forecasts came from the Mondo segment, for which it had an erroneous weighting to the first half.
Beyond FY20, the company has indicated there are many options to manage the impact of low rates and lower regulated revenues. The draft determination for the Victorian electricity distribution network remains the next catalyst, in March 2020.
Neutral rating maintained. Target reduced to $1.75 from $1.80.
Target price is $1.75 Current Price is $1.84 Difference: minus $0.09 (current price is over target).
If AST meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately minus 5% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Forecast for FY21:
Credit Suisse forecasts a full year FY21 dividend of 10.51 cents and EPS of 6.47 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections? Current consensus EPS estimate is 7.2, implying annual growth of -2.7%. Current consensus DPS estimate is 10.4, implying a prospective dividend yield of 5.7%.

Market Sentiment: -0.3
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Macquarie rates AST as Neutral (3) -
First half net profit was down -6% on the prior corresponding half. Clarity around the distribution policy has lifted Macquarie's confidence in medium-term growth.
The company believes it can still deliver growth in the coming years despite adverse WACC changes. Macquarie notes this is in sharp contrast to Spark Infrastructure ((SKI)).
The broker assesses upside centres on management delivering a new round of cost initiatives. Neutral rating maintained. Target is reduced $1.90 from $1.97.
Target price is $1.90 Current Price is $1.84 Difference: $0.06
If AST meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Market Sentiment: -0.3
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Morgan Stanley rates AST as Equal-weight (3) -
First half results were in line with Morgan Stanley's estimates. Distribution guidance and capital settings are unchanged.
Morgan Stanley expects returns from the regulated asset base will remain under pressure but be offset by growth in the contracted asset base.
Equal-weight. Target is raised to $1.86 from $1.84. Industry view: Cautious.
Target price is $1.86 Current Price is $1.84 Difference: $0.02
If AST meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $1.78, suggesting downside of -3.1% (ex-dividends)

Morgans rates AST as Downgrade to Reduce from Hold (5) -
AusNet Services' first half result was weaker than Morgans expected, even after including a one-off boost from a sale of inventory. The broker has materially downgraded forecasts, re-basing to the weak first half performance, and including assumptions of lower-for-longer interest rates and inflation.
Target falls to $1.58 from $1.74. Morgans now calculates a forecast total shareholder return of -10%, hence a downgrade to Reduce from Hold.
Target price is $1.58 Current Price is $1.84 Difference: minus $0.26 (current price is over target).
If AST meets the Morgans target it will return approximately minus 14% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $1.78, suggesting downside of -3.1% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in March.
Forecast for FY20:

Ord Minnett rates AST as Hold (3) -
First half net profit was below forecasts. Ord Minnett notes the strong performance in the electricity distribution business but remains lukewarm on the stock, pointing to a number of macro economic headwinds.
These include downward pressure on regulated returns and a notable slowing in the deployment of renewable generation. Hold rating maintained. Target is raised to $1.90 from $1.85.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $1.90 Current Price is $1.84 Difference: $0.06
If AST meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $1.78, suggesting downside of -3.1% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in March.
Forecast for FY20:
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY20 dividend of 10.00 cents and EPS of 8.00 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections?

Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 24.9. |

Overnight Price: $12.10
Credit Suisse rates AUB as Upgrade to Outperform from Neutral (1) -
The company has reaffirmed its FY20 guidance. Credit Suisse was encouraged by the update and notes the share price has underperformed the market by around -30% over the last 12 months following a series of earnings downgrades.
Company specific issues have had an impact and offset a favourable operating environment. With this risk passing, the broker upgrades to Outperform from Neutral. Target is raised to $12.75 from $11.45.
Target price is $12.75 Current Price is $12.10 Difference: $0.65
If AUB meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 5% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Industrial Sector Contractors & Engineers

Overnight Price: $2.83
Citi rates BIN as Neutral (3) -
After the company's trading update at the AGM, Citi expects FY20 operating earnings (EBITDA) of $164m, at the top end of guidance. The broker believes the current share price and valuation reflect considerable upside over the long run.
Despite the likelihood of strong growth, Citi assesses the current valuation does not provide an adequate risk/reward trade-off. Neutral High Risk rating maintained. Target is raised to $2.80 from $2.40.
Target price is $2.80 Current Price is $2.83 Difference: minus $0.03 (current price is over target).
If BIN meets the Citi target it will return approximately minus 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Current consensus EPS estimate is 9.8, implying annual growth of 151.3%. Current consensus DPS estimate is 4.3, implying a prospective dividend yield of 1.5%. Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 28.9. |
Forecast for FY21:
Citi forecasts a full year FY21 dividend of 4.50 cents and EPS of 12.00 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections?

Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 23.2. |
Market Sentiment: 0.3
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Macquarie rates BIN as Neutral (3) -
Given the improved visibility regarding pricing and the fact that Bingo Industries has been able to guide to a narrow range of $159-164m for FY20 underlying operating earnings (EBITDA), Macquarie has increased its multiple.
Hence, the target is raised to $2.75 from $2.25. The broker considers the valuation full, given residual market pressures and a Neutral rating is maintained.
Target price is $2.75 Current Price is $2.83 Difference: minus $0.08 (current price is over target).
If BIN meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $2.75, suggesting downside of -2.8% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

UBS rates BIN as Buy (1) -
The company has issued FY20 operating earnings (EBITDA) guidance of $159-164m. UBS increases FY20-22 forecasts for earnings per share by 1-3%.
The broker does not incorporate any benefit from upside opportunities such as a successful increase in the Eastern Creek landfill capacity and/or if the Victorian government follows other states in increasing landfill levies.
Buy rating maintained. Target rises to $3.15 from $2.75.
Target price is $3.15 Current Price is $2.83 Difference: $0.32
If BIN meets the UBS target it will return approximately 11% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Overnight Price: $0.46
Morgans rates CGR as Add (1) -
CML Group has announced a merger with Consolidated Operations Group ((COG)) on a cash/scrip split, with both sides announcing rights issues. On first glance the broker believes the deal undervalues CML, given shareholders will only get 45% of the combined entity against 55% earnings contribution.
The broker is yet to evaluate the combined entity but retains Add given the possibility of the deal being revised upward or value to be realised if the deal is not approved. Target falls to 51c from 60c.
Target price is $0.51 Current Price is $0.46 Difference: $0.05
If CGR meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 11% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

CMW CROMWELL PROPERTY GROUP
Infra & Property Developers

Overnight Price: $1.26
Ord Minnett rates CMW as Downgrade to Lighten from Hold (4) -
Cromwell Property will acquire a portfolio of seven Polish retail properties for around $1bn on an estimated capitalisation rate of 5-5.25%. The transaction will settle in November and the company intends to reduce its interest to 20-30% over the next 18-24 months.
Cromwell Property already manages the assets on behalf of third-party investors. The company has not disclosed its gearing post the transaction, nor its covenants.
Given real estate investment trusts have a chequered history when it comes to leverage during the global financial crisis, Ord Minnett suspects the buffer to covenants will be too tight for some equity investors.
Rating is downgraded to Lighten from Hold. Target is $1.10.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $1.10 Current Price is $1.26 Difference: minus $0.16 (current price is over target).
If CMW meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately minus 13% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $1.15, suggesting downside of -8.7% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.
Forecast for FY20:
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY20 dividend of 8.00 cents and EPS of 8.00 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections? Current consensus EPS estimate is 8.0, implying annual growth of 6.2%. Current consensus DPS estimate is 7.6, implying a prospective dividend yield of 6.0%. Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 15.8. |
Forecast for FY21:
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY21 dividend of 8.00 cents and EPS of 8.00 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections? Current consensus EPS estimate is 8.1, implying annual growth of 1.2%. Current consensus DPS estimate is 7.7, implying a prospective dividend yield of 6.1%.

Food, Beverages & Tobacco

Overnight Price: $15.42
Macquarie rates COL as Neutral (3) -
The company held its first AGM since the de-merger and reiterated a four-year transformation program. Macquarie finds early indications that first half sales are tracking better than bearish market expectations.
However, higher costs and increased competitive pressures elicit a Neutral rating. Target is $15.

Morgan Stanley rates CPU as Underweight (5) -
Computershare has reaffirmed FY20 guidance which Morgan Stanley believes is satisfactory, given weakness in global M&A and interest income. Macro weakness has been offset by mortgage servicing and share plans running ahead of expectations.
The broker suspects, with guidance being updated at the first half results, that the company will pull back from forecasts of flat margin income in FY20, and the earnings risk remains skewed to the downside.
Underweight maintained. Target is $13.00. Industry view is In-Line.
Target price is $13.00 Current Price is $16.60 Difference: minus $3.6 (current price is over target).

Ord Minnett rates CPU as Hold (3) -
Computershare maintained FY20 guidance, expecting management earnings to be down around -5% on a constant currency basis. Ord Minnett is positive, given the outlook was not downgraded, but suspects there are still risks in the future.
The broker is cautious because of the prospect of lower yields into FY21 while revenues in the UK mortgage servicing division are expected to fall because of the UK Asset Resolution contract falling off.
Low interest rates in the US are also likely to lead to more re-financing of mortgages which could in turn lead to greater amortisation of mortgage servicing rights.
Hold maintained. Target is $16.00.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $16.00 Current Price is $16.60 Difference: minus $0.6 (current price is over target).

Credit Suisse rates ECX as Outperform (1) -
Credit Suisse observes the company has already realised some of the early gains associated with the turnaround. The broker suspects further gains will be more gradual.

The FY19 result was complicated, as expected. Core business was in line with UBS estimates. The broker expects non-core business to be divested in FY20 and, post restructuring, to have a neutral impact on FY20 operating earnings (EBITDA).
Deleveraging remains in focus and the broker expects gross debt to reduce to $175m by FY21 and dividends to be declared from the second half of that year. Buy rating and $2.20 target maintained.

The company has announced the IPO of the Elanor Commercial Property Fund and the establishment of the Elanor Wildlife Fund along with a placement of $31m and a $5m share purchase plan at $2.10.
The Wildlife Fund will be seeded from the Featherdale Wildlife Park, which Ord Minnett considers an inflection point for the business, as it re-casts the company as a pure-play fund manager as opposed to a diverse alternative investor.
The broker upgrades to Accumulate from Hold, believing the business is now a more accessible investment. Target is raised to $2.32 from $2.28.

Ord Minnett rates EXP as Buy (1) -
Ord Minnett notes another soft trading update for the first quarter after an endless supply of bad news over the last 18 months. The difference this time is that it was issued under the new management.
Given the strategic review is underway the broker expects changes are already taking place. The company has noted that first quarter skydiving volumes were down -10.4%, largely affected by the weather.
This is disappointing although Ord Minnett expects earnings for this division will normalise. Buy rating maintained. Target is reduced to $0.31 from $0.39. Estimates for earnings per share are downgraded by -52% in FY20 and -33% in FY21.

Overnight Price: $5.77
Ord Minnett rates LNK as Accumulate (2) -
Link Administration has made a minority investment in Smart Pension, a financial technology start-up operating in the UK. It will join with current investors Legal & General and JPMorgan. Link will take on administration of Smart UK's workplace pension operation.
The broker assesses the announcement is immaterial from a capital perspective and contribution to FY20 earnings, and is unlikely to bridge the earnings gap envisaged in the company stated guidance for FY20.
The investment does appear to remove the risk of a big overseas acquisition and the capital raising that may have eventuated. Accumulate rating and $7 target.
