Overnight Price: $34.21
Morgan Stanley rates ALL as Upgrade to Overweight from Equal-weight (1) -
New analysts at Morgan Stanley "assume coverage" of Aristocrat Leisure and begin with an Overweight rating and set a $45 target. While prior coverage is not referenced, this is effectively an upgrade from an Equal-weight rating. The target has risen from $43.
The broker expects a re-rating of Aristocrat Leisure shares based on potential to become a meaningful player in i-Gaming in the US and to navigate a weaker consumer backdrop in that country. Past digital growth is also considered to be sustainable.
Apart from an attractive valuation, the analysts also see potential upside from the pursuit of M&A opportunities or capital management initiatives.
Industry View: In-Line.

Citi is anticipating a shift in the tide for the banking sector in the coming year, with banks holding historic levels of excess liquidity ahead of the quickest and largest tightening in more than thirty years.

EDV ENDEAVOUR GROUP LIMITED
Food, Beverages & Tobacco
More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE
Overnight Price: $7.33
UBS rates EDV as Sell (5) -
UBS expects regulatory risk to increase over time for Endeavour Group and provide a potential headwind for the share price.
In line with this view, from the end of 2024, the Tasmanian government stated it will implement mandatory pre-commitment for electronic gaming machine (EGM) players. Cards with a pre-set default loss will be used.
Given a very small EGM presence in Tasmania, the broker points out any decline in gaming will have an immaterial impact on Endeavour Group.
Seperately, the tax rate for the highest performing EGMs in Victoria was increased from August. UBS rertains its Sell rating and $7.10 target price.
Target price is $7.10 Current Price is $7.33 Difference: minus $0.23 (current price is over target).

Overnight Price: $70.01
UBS rates MIN as Buy (1) -
Using peers as reference point, UBS estimates a 6x EV/EBITDA multiple would be appropriate to value the (potential) separate listing of Mineral Resources' lithium business in the US. Thus, a valuation of around $17bn is derived, a rise of 86% over the current valuation.
The broker retains its $83 target price and Buy rating.
Target price is $83.00 Current Price is $70.01 Difference: $12.99
If MIN meets the UBS target it will return approximately 19% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgans rates MLM as Initiation of coverage with Speculative Buy (1) -
Metallica Minerals is a resource development company with interests in several north QLD mining projects, including its wholly-owned flagship Cape Flattery Silica Sands project, 200km north of Cairns.
Morgans feels the company is well positioned to supply high purity silica to the Asia-Pacific market and initiates coverage with a Speculative Buy rating. Reserves at Cape Flattery are thought to support a 25 year project life.
Last month, management signed a memorandum of understanding with Mitsui & Co for a potential off-take arrangement for the silica sand product. First production is forecast for the 1H of 2025. The broker sets a $0.15 target price.

Macquarie notes Scentre Group retains first rights to three assets held in partnership with AMP Capital's Shopping Centre Fund (ACSCF), and has indicated it may not waive these if ACSCF transfers management to GPT Group ((GPT)), as has been reported by the media.
The remaining 50% stake in the Southland, Tea Tree and Liverpool Westfield assets is valued at $1.6bn, and while Scentre Group retains first rights, Macquarie notes funding could be more difficult.

UBS rates SHV as Buy (1) -
Management at Select Harvests notes almond prices have strengthened in recent weeks and UBS raises its FY22 forecast sales price marginally. This increase is offset by wet weather, with reduced forecast crop volumes for 2022.
The broker also increases cost forecasts, and overall, the EPS estimate for FY22 falls by -13%, and the target eases to $7.00 from $7.10. The FY23 EPS forecast is largely unchanged.

Macquarie rates STO as Outperform (1) -
With Santos having executed on around 72% of its US$350m buyback program, Macquarie notes the company appears to have paused on further buyback activity in the last week. The broker anticipates the sale of its PNG LNG interests will generate US$1.3bn, and assumes the company will return 38% of proceeds through a further US$500m buyback.
The broker sees this as a major driver of earnings per share and value accretion, and lifts its earnings per share forecasts 6% and 5% in FY22 and F23 respectively.
The Outperform rating is retained and the target price increases to $10.60 from $10.40.
Target price is $10.60 Current Price is $7.96 Difference: $2.64

TLS TELSTRA CORPORATION LIMITED
Telecommunication
More Research Tools In Stock Analysis - click HERE
Overnight Price: $3.86
Ord Minnett rates TLS as Buy (1) -
Ord Minnett observes a more competitive and less profitable broadband reseller market, which has resulted from low barriers to entry, aggressive pricing and a commoditised product.
The analyst also expects a less than 10% margin over the life of a customer, and new NBN pricing proposals will further erode margins.
The broker anticipates it will be increasingly hard for Telstra to retain its market share and lowers its profit margin assumptions.
The Buy rating and $4.60 target are retained.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $4.60 Current Price is $3.86 Difference: $0.74
If TLS meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 19% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $4.41, suggesting upside of 15.4% (ex-dividends)

Ord Minnett rates TPG as Buy (1) -
Ord Minnett observes a more competitive and less profitable broadband reseller market, which has resulted from low barriers to entry, aggressive pricing and a commoditised product.
The analyst also expects a less than 10% margin over the life of a customer and new NBN pricing proposals will further erode margins.
The broker forecasts TPG Telecom will cede market share as an NBN reseller to smaller competitors. It's considered likely management will focus on transitioning NBN customers to fixed wireless and on-net fibre to the basement (FTTB) alternatives with higher margins.
The Buy rating is maintained, while the target slips to $6.55 from $6.70.
Target price is $6.55 Current Price is $5.01 Difference: $1.54
If TPG meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 31% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
