UBS rates ADH as Buy (1) -
The company will temporarily close all retail stores and the Mocka website in New Zealand for 4-6 weeks. UBS estimates the impact will be around a -10% reduction to 2020 sales, with in-store sales likely to be down more than -30% year on year once re-opened.
Several levers are envisaged available to the company, including rent relief and reduced wages. UBS reduces FY20-22 estimates for earnings per share by -33-62%. Buy rating maintained. Target is reduced to $1.90 from $2.75.
Target price is $1.90 Current Price is $0.87 Difference: $1.03

AGL AGL ENERGY LIMITED
Infrastructure & Utilities

Overnight Price: $16.70
Macquarie rates AGL as Underperform (5) -
As demand drops, Macquarie expects there will be a second-order impact on AGL Energy earnings, principally in FY21. There is also likely to be some earnings pressure from bad debts through the cycle.
Falling forward electricity prices are significant, as around 70% of the retail base re-prices in July, the broker observes. Gas may also suffer, although the recent slump in Brent prices should reduce variable costs on recently-negotiated contracts.
Balance sheet capacity is available to take advantage of opportunities and Macquarie upgrades to Neutral from Underperform. Target is reduced to $17.38 from $18.69.
Target price is $17.38 Current Price is $16.70 Difference: $0.68
If AGL meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $18.45, suggesting upside of 10.5% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Market Sentiment: -0.4
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Overnight Price: $5.55
Macquarie rates ALQ as Outperform (1) -
Macquarie observes life sciences are now a larger proportion of the group. The company has also drawn down sufficient funds to meet the maturing debt tranche at the end of 2020.
The broker notes gearing is reasonable and the stock has fallen further than peers, partially reflecting its minerals exposure. This is considered overdone. Outperform maintained. Target is reduced to $7.03 from $9.64.
Target price is $7.03 Current Price is $5.55 Difference: $1.48
If ALQ meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 27% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgans rates ALQ as Upgrade to Add from Hold (1) -
Morgans was surprised by the company's commentary regarding the resilience of life sciences to the coronavirus crisis, although there are clear downside risk for commodities.
Nevertheless, the broker acknowledges extensive experience in managing cyclical shocks means the company is strongly positioned.
The share price has fallen -22% below the broker's valuation which supports an upgrade to Add from Hold. Target is reduced to $6.90 from $8.10.
Target price is $6.90 Current Price is $5.55 Difference: $1.35
If ALQ meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 24% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $8.22, suggesting upside of 48.1% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in March.

Overnight Price: $5.85
Morgans rates ALX as Upgrade to Add from Hold (1) -
Morgans materially downgrades FY20 forecasts, reflecting the company's decision to suspend distribution guidance and the initial traffic impact from coronavirus.
Rating is upgraded to Add from Hold, despite the fact short-term news flow is likely to be negative.
The coronavirus impact in 2020 appears likely to cause the one and three-year distribution lock-up tests to fail while the material step-up in debt service from FY22 will make the tests difficult to pass, Morgans points out.
The broker assumes the tests will not be passed until FY26 and, hence, trapped cash will continue to accumulate. Success with toll escalation applications may improve this view. Target is raised to $8.12 from $7.57.
Target price is $8.12 Current Price is $5.85 Difference: $2.27
If ALX meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 39% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $7.33, suggesting upside of 25.2% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in December.
Forecast for FY20:

Current consensus DPS estimate is 18.0, implying a prospective dividend yield of 3.1%. Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 18.2. |
Forecast for FY21:
Morgans forecasts a full year FY21 dividend of 35.80 cents. How do these forecasts compare to market consensus projections? Current consensus EPS estimate is 60.2, implying annual growth of 87.0%. Current consensus DPS estimate is 35.6, implying a prospective dividend yield of 6.1%. Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 9.7. |
Market Sentiment: 0.4

Overnight Price: $0.24
Macquarie rates AMI as Outperform (1) -
FY20 guidance has been withdrawn because of a break in a hoisting shaft at Peak as well as the impact from the current crisis. Macquarie reduces expectations for Peak over the longer term.
The balance sheet is considered robust and the broker maintains an Outperform rating. Target is reduced -17% to $0.50.
Target price is $0.50 Current Price is $0.24 Difference: $0.26
If AMI meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 108% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Overnight Price: $1.55
UBS rates AWC as Upgrade to Neutral from Sell (3) -
UBS upgrades to Neutral from Sell, assessing the current share price now reflects the uncertainty in the alumina market. The broker envisages short-term headwinds, amid disruptions to secondary demand for aluminium.
As China returns to work the risk is that demand for finished goods by the rest of the world will not be sufficient to support sustained production.
The broker remains concerned that aluminium in Europe and India is entering a period of extended lock-down and restriction. Target is reduced to $1.50 from $1.90.
Target price is $1.50 Current Price is $1.55 Difference: minus $0.05 (current price is over target).
If AWC meets the UBS target it will return approximately minus 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $1.96, suggesting upside of 26.3% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in December.
Forecast for FY20:

Overnight Price: $3.73
Morgan Stanley rates BAP as Overweight (1) -
Bapcor was seeing trade sales up 5% until March, when lockdowns in NZ and Thailand saw demand "fall of a cliff". The company nevertheless believes, the broker reports, it can achieve profitability on a much smaller operating network, cuts to opex/capex and inventory management.
Bapcor should then be in a healthy cash position and has no debt renewals for three years. Importantly, there will be no need to raise capital. The broker retains Overweight and an $8.00 target. Industry view: In Line.
Target price is $8.00 Current Price is $3.73 Difference: $4.27
If BAP meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately 114% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $7.31, suggesting upside of 96.0% (ex-dividends)

Overnight Price: $1.14
Credit Suisse rates BPT as Outperform (1) -
The company has reduced FY20 capital expenditure by -5%. FY21 expenditure is cut by "up to" -30%, which suggests to Credit Suisse the company may struggle to re-negotiate with contractors.
Credit Suisse continues to envisage upside at Beach Energy, perhaps running significantly higher once markets recover.
Outperform maintained. Target is reduced to $1.78 from $1.86.
Target price is $1.78 Current Price is $1.14 Difference: $0.64
If BPT meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 56% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Macquarie rates BPT as Outperform (1) -
FY20 earnings guidance is reduced by -8%. Production and capital expenditure are expected to be at the lower end of previously announced ranges.
Macquarie observes the exposure to east coast gas markets has shielded the company's financials from the steep decline in oil prices. The gas business essentially covers operating costs, the broker adds.
Beach Energy is also net cash. Outperform maintained. Target is reduced to $1.90 from $2.10.
Target price is $1.90 Current Price is $1.14 Difference: $0.76
If BPT meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 67% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

CAT CATAPULT GROUP INTERNATIONAL LTD
Medical Equipment & Devices
More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE
Overnight Price: $0.60
Morgans rates CAT as Add (1) -
The company has warned that the shut-down of elite sporting events will have a negative impact on new contracts sales in the fourth quarter.
A working capital facility has been recently drawn down and expenditure is being tightened.
Hence, Morgans assesses Catapult Group is well-placed to ride out a prolonged interruption to business. Free cash flow is still expected to be positive in FY21.
Add maintained. Target is reduced to $1.68 from $1.87.
Target price is $1.68 Current Price is $0.60 Difference: $1.08
If CAT meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 180% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Overnight Price: $1.20
Morgan Stanley rates CCX as Overweight (1) -
City Chic Collective has closed all of its 107 A&NZ stores (third of revenue) but not stood down staff, and its online business will continue (two-thirds). The online split puts the company in a better position than peers, the broker notes, the balance sheet is strong and rent relief will help.
The broker believes City Chic can emerge from the crisis in a stronger competitive position. Overweight and $4.00 target retained. Industry view: In Line.
Target price is $4.00 Current Price is $1.20 Difference: $2.8
If CCX meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately 233% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

UBS rates CLV as Upgrade to Buy from Neutral (1) -
First half results were softer than UBS expected. The miss was attributed to Australasia and Asia sales growth. The broker believes the medium-term growth story is intact and upgrades to Buy from Neutral.
UBS points to defensive qualities, changes in European regulations and exposure to structural growth markets as underpinning the stock. Target is reduced to $2.20 from $2.75.
Target price is $2.20 Current Price is $1.65 Difference: $0.55
If CLV meets the UBS target it will return approximately 33% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Overnight Price: $21.77
Credit Suisse rates CTX as Neutral (3) -
Credit Suisse prefers Caltex on the basis the acquisition by Couche-Tard is still probable. The proposal currently sits at around $33.99 a share, and the broker does not believe the board will support a lower price.
Credit Suisse expects an increasingly weak demand scenario will result in margins deteriorating in the June quarter. Target is raised to $24.88 from $24.00. Neutral maintained.
Target price is $24.88 Current Price is $21.77 Difference: $3.11
If CTX meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 14% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $31.63, suggesting upside of 45.3% (ex-dividends)

Overnight Price: $4.12
Credit Suisse rates EVN as Outperform (1) -
Credit Suisse increases estimates for earnings per share in FY20 and FY21 by 7% and 39% respectively as revised coal, copper and FX estimates are included.
The material increase to FY22 reflects a gold price assumption that is US$200/oz higher on a lower earnings base.
The broker retains an Outperform rating and raises the target to $4.60 from $4.30.
Target price is $4.60 Current Price is $4.12 Difference: $0.48

GUD G.U.D. HOLDINGS LIMITED
Household & Personal Products

Overnight Price: $8.60
Citi rates GUD as Upgrade to Buy from Neutral (1) -
Citi upgrades to Buy from Neutral. Demand is expected to increase over the medium term as higher unemployment and reduced wages translate to consumers holding onto existing vehicles for longer and shifting from original equipment manufacturer services to cheaper independent services.
The broker also suspects the weak environment could assist the company in consolidating the automotive aftermarket. Moreover, the relatively non-discretionary nature of the automotive and water businesses should translate to a faster recovery when the crisis ends. Target is reduced to $10.30 from $12.10.
Target price is $10.30 Current Price is $8.60 Difference: $1.7
If GUD meets the Citi target it will return approximately 20% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

UBS rates IGO as Upgrade to Buy from Neutral (1) -
IGO Group remains a preferred nickel exposure and UBS upgrades to Buy from Neutral. The stock has fallen -29% in the year to date.
The broker now believes that a US$4.00/lb nickel price is factored in and exploration success is a free option. The balance sheet is also very strong. Target is reduced to $6.00 from $6.75.
Target price is $6.00 Current Price is $4.28 Difference: $1.72
If IGO meets the UBS target it will return approximately 40% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Credit Suisse rates OGC as Downgrade to Neutral from Outperform (3) -
Credit Suisse decreases FY20 earnings estimates to nil, removing Didipio entirely from forecasts. A six-week closure in New Zealand is assumed.
The duration of the shut-down of mines may have implications for liquidity, which the broker suspects will become increasingly tight.
A resolution at Didipio would act as a considerable positive catalyst but the market has no insight into when this may be achieved.
Rating is downgraded to Neutral from Outperform and the target is lowered to $1.72 from $4.20.

The company's equity raising removes near-term liquidity risk and Credit Suisse welcomes the improved ability to navigate the coming months.
The broker forecasts a -21% decline in revenue in the first half and a -17% decline in the second half.
Any recovery late in 2020 is expected to be gradual but the favourable market structure has not changed. Hence, the broker retains an Outperform rating. Target is reduced to $1.25 from $4.15.

Ord Minnett rates OML as Accumulate (2) -
The company has raised additional capital to alleviate pressure on its balance sheet. Ord Minnett suspects this should provide sufficient resources to withstand the near-term pressure.
The broker's sensitivity analysis signals the company can withstand up to a -36% decline in revenue over April to September and still be below its new leverage covenant of 4.0x.
The duration of the revenue decline is expected to be short lived. Accumulate maintained. Target is reduced to $1.25 from $3.90.

Morgan Stanley rates WPL as Equal-weight (3) -
Woodside Petroleum has announced a -50% cut in capex and the removal of US$100m in opex and has undertaken hedging. On the broker's lower-for-longer oil price assumptions it is not clear Scarborough would proceed, but the broker admits forecasts might be too conservative.
If Scarborough is removed from the model valuation actually increases, highlighting its risk at low oil prices. The broker believes the LNG-oil price linkage may no longer be appropriate and expects fixed price contracts going forward. Equal-weight and $19.70 target retained. Industry view: Cautious.
