Overnight Price: $21.40
Citi rates AGL as Downgrade to Sell from Neutral (5) -
First half net profit was below Citi's forecasts. The company lost -4% of its customers in Queensland and the broker estimates a -2-3% reduction in gross margins from increased competition.
Citi forecasts 2% growth in earnings per share from FY18 to FY23 and suspects domestic growth is becoming harder to obtain and organic options are at higher cost.
Rating is downgraded to Sell from Neutral and the target reduced to $20.54 from $25.28.
Target price is $20.54 Current Price is $21.40 Difference: minus $0.86 (current price is over target).
If AGL meets the Citi target it will return approximately minus 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Deutsche Bank rates AGL as Buy (1) -
Deutsche Bank analysts seem pleased, commenting their thesis on wholesale electricity prices is playing out, judging from the company's interim report update. Alas, it was also revealed there are strong headwinds in the retail business.
While competition in the retail space will only intensify further, according to the analysts, they remain quite sanguine on margins. Estimates have been reduced, which has lowered the price target to $25.45. Buy rating retained.
Target price is $25.45 Current Price is $21.40 Difference: $4.05
If AGL meets the Deutsche Bank target it will return approximately 19% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Macquarie rates AGL as Neutral (3) -
First half net profit was ahead of Macquarie's estimates, up 27% and driven by a wholesale energy improvement offset by re-pricing of customers to reflect forward curves. The company believes a structural change is occurring in the customer business amid renewed competition.
Macquarie considers the issue for investors is whether the value attached to retail earnings is more than wholesale, and the mix shift to wholesale does not drag on valuation. The broker retains a Neutral rating and reduces the target is $23.01 from $24.05.
Target price is $23.01 Current Price is $21.40 Difference: $1.61
If AGL meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgan Stanley rates AGL as Equal-weight (3) -
In the wake of AGL's result, the broker notes the stock has de-rated towards more longer term PE multiples, suggesting that the peak of the price pool tailwind is in the share price and competition in the electricity market remains intense.
The company's focus has now switched back to reducing costs. The broker believes free cash flow momentum and defensive earnings provide relative appeal, sufficient to retain an Equal-weight rating. Target falls to $24.28 from $25.10.
Industry view: Cautious
Target price is $24.28 Current Price is $21.40 Difference: $2.88
If AGL meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately 13% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Ord Minnett rates AGL as Accumulate (2) -
AGL's result beat the broker by 3% due largely to higher gas margins. The dividend was as expected. Increased marketing costs will drag on the second half.
New renewable capacity coming on line could lead to reduced wholesale prices, the broker suggests, but also price volatility. Despite emerging risks, the broker still sees valuation appeal. Accumulate retained. Target falls to $27.00 from $30.15.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $27.00 Current Price is $21.40 Difference: $5.6

UBS rates AGL as Buy (1) -
First half net profit was ahead of UBS estimates. Full year guidance is unchanged. UBS believes the market is placing too much emphasis on declining electricity futures prices as a predictor of earnings as well as the risks of increased retail competition.
The broker retains a Buy rating, noting strong earnings growth, attractive dividends and potential for further capital management. Target is reduced to $27.50 from $29.50.

Macquarie rates AMP as Upgrade to Outperform from Neutral (1) -
2017 results exceeded guidance. As revenue growth and earnings improvement is constrained in the three divisions under review, Macquarie believes any divestments could create grounds for a positive surprise and upgrades to Outperform from Neutral.
The broker adjusts earnings per share estimates down by -7.8% in 2018 and -3.1% in 2019 to reflect changes to methodology. Target is raised to $5.65 from $5.50.

Morgan Stanley rates AMP as Equal-weight (3) -
AMP's result was in line with the broker, but only after a surprise result from the Life business. Otherwise, wealth flows were anaemic and regulatory costs have grown with the Royal Commission approaching.
AMP is undergoing a strategic review, exploring portfolio options and potential capital initiatives. A good outcome would support a re-rating, the broker suggests, and an update will come at or before the May AGM. Equal-weight and $5.75 target retained.
Industry view: In line.

AMP is undertaking a strategic review, the results of which the broker will await. Given uncertainty, target falls to $5.90 from $6.00. Accumulate retained.

2017 results were in line with UBS. The broker suggests sentiment around the stock will be driven by outcomes of the portfolio review, due in May.

Macquarie rates AYS as Downgrade to Neutral from Outperform (3) -
The company's update has revealed a rapid deterioration in average revenue per unit because of ongoing competition and the recent introduction of $10-20 price points for unlimited plans.
Macquarie observes this has a material negative impact on near-term earnings but the extent will be largely determined by future re-negotiations of the wholesale agreement.
The broker finds it difficult to support the valuation until the extent of the re-basing is clearer. Rating is downgraded to Neutral from Outperform. Target is lowered to $1.95 from $2.35.
Target price is $1.95 Current Price is $1.71 Difference: $0.24

Ord Minnett rates BSL as Upgrade to Accumulate from Hold (2) -
Ord Minnett has upgraded to Accumulate from Hold with an increased price target to $16.30 from $16.00. The moves suggests we have missed a change in view since early November.
Glad that's been sorted now. Essentially, the broker believes the weakness in share price is not justified given the improving macro-economic background.
Interestingly, the analysts suggest market consensus forecasts are behind the curve and will need to be upgraded post the upcoming interim results release, scheduled for Feb 26.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $14.00 Current Price is $14.28 Difference: minus $0.28 (current price is over target).
If BSL meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately minus 2% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $15.09, suggesting upside of 5.7% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Morgan Stanley rates CBA as Underweight (5) -
The broker has had a closer look at CBA's result, leading to a slight increase in forecasts and a lift in target to $72 from $71.
Underweight retained on a modest earnings growth outlook, falling return on equity and a full valuation. The broker also sees slowing home loan growth, downside to margins, ongoing conduct concerns, reduced earnings on asset sales and strategic uncertainty. CBA is the least preferred of the Big Four.
Industry view: In line.

Overnight Price: $45.56
Citi rates CIM as Sell (5) -
Citi increases its estimates for FY18-20 net profit by 6-9% following a review of the 2017 result and transfer of coverage to another analyst. 2017 results were broadly in line and largely driven by construction, mining and a full year of UGL profits.

Morgan Stanley rates MGR as Underweight (5) -
Mirvac's profit beat the broker by 10%, mostly due to lower tax and interest expense. FY earnings guidance was maintained, with dividend growth of 6% expected. With net tangible asset value increasing and gearing at 23%, a buyback was announced.
This will provide support, the broker notes, and there remains upside in office even at this point in the cycle. Residential is slowing, on the other hand, and 1,300 new lots are set for release in the second half. Underweight and $2.20 target retained.
Industry view: Cautious.
Target price is $2.20 Current Price is $2.08 Difference: $0.12
If MGR meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately 6% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $2.35, suggesting upside of 13.0% (ex-dividends)

Ord Minnett rates MGR as Upgrade to Buy from Hold (1) -
A larger second-half skew in the residential business has caused Mirvac's interim report to miss expectations. But management has stuck with FY18 EPS guidance of 15.3–15.6c, representing growth of 6–8%, on the back of a much stronger second-half residential result.
Following a general decline for the listed property sector, Ord Minnett finds Mirvac shares are "inexpensive". Target price has improved to $2.55.
Also, the analysts note there were 249 apartment sales in the first half, showing solid but nevertheless slowing demand. Upgrade to Buy from Hold.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $2.55 Current Price is $2.08 Difference: $0.47
If MGR meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 23% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

UBS rates MGR as Neutral (3) -
First half net profit was slightly weaker than UBS expected. The company has indicated a large second half skew in earnings, which UBS suggests in a "mixed" residential environment allows uncertainty to prevail.
Offsetting some of this is the announcement of a 2.6% buyback, and there is greater transparency around FY19 and FY20 earnings which the broker suspects will lead to consensus upgrades. Neutral rating and $2.32 target maintained.
Target price is $2.32 Current Price is $2.08 Difference: $0.24
If MGR meets the UBS target it will return approximately 12% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Citi rates MHJ as Buy (1) -
The market update suggests first half underlying earnings will be around -10% below Citi's prior forecast. FY18 net profit estimates are lowered by -5% to reflect the trading update.
The broker is not overly concerned as the weakness is likely because of problems in the US and at Emma & Roe. The US business is being shut down and Emma & Roe is being revamped.
Buy rating maintained. Target is reduced to $1.55 from $1.60.
Target price is $1.55 Current Price is $1.10 Difference: $0.45

Deutsche Bank rates MIN as Hold (3) -
First half earnings were better than Deutsche Bank expected. The broker lifts FY18 estimates on the back of slightly higher earnings from the Mt Marion services contract and the continuation of a high proportion of iron ore lump sales at Iron Valley in the second half.
Hold rating retained. Target is raised to $19.50 from $19.00.
Target price is $19.50 Current Price is $19.31 Difference: $0.19

Morgan Stanley rates MIN as Overweight (1) -
A brief review from the broker notes Mineral Resources' earnings exceeded forecast due to a better iron ore lump premium and higher lithium prices. Iron ore shipment guidance has been revised down due to higher discounts for low grade ore, and is now in line with the broker's expectations.
All other guidance is unchanged. Overweight and $21.60 target retained. Industry view: Attractive.

Citi rates NAB as Upgrade to Buy from Neutral (1) -
First quarter cash earnings were ahead of Citi's estimates but this appears to be because of delays in recognising the restructuring provision.
The broker expects FY18 to be a messy year for the bank as it embarks on restructuring. Since the FY17 result the stock has underperformed and Citi now envisages sufficient value to upgrade to Buy from Neutral. Target is $32.25.
Target price is $32.25 Current Price is $28.91 Difference: $3.34

Macquarie rates NAB as Outperform (1) -
In the wake of the first quarter trading update, Macquarie notes underlying trends are tracking broadly in line with expectations.
Elevated expense growth and the diluting impact of discounted DRPs should result in the weakest earnings growth among peers in FY18, the broker believes.
Yet this is captured in the discounted valuation and, should conditions remain supportive, Macquarie expects NAB's underlying performance to surpass peers in FY19 and FY20. Outperform rating and $32.50 target maintained.
Target price is $32.50 Current Price is $28.91 Difference: $3.59

Ord Minnett rates NAB as Upgrade to Accumulate from Hold (2) -
Ord Minnett saw a mixed first-quarter FY18 trading update, characterised by slightly weak revenue growth, much lower impairments than expected, plus a surprise improvement in NAB's capital position.
Key concerns the analysts had prior have now been allayed. NAB's tilt towards small business banking gives it leverage to improving business credit growth, surmise the analysts. This should insulate it from return on equity pressures in retail banking among the peers.
Upgrade to Accumulate from Hold. Price target improves to $32 from $31. Short term estimates have been reduced, FY19 estimates went up.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.

Credit Suisse observes, coinciding with an AGL Energy ((AGL)) result for the second time in a row, the company has announced an impairment. Of the $533m, $360m is for Ironbark, following a large reserve downgrade, and $173m relates to the divested Lattice Energy.
While this is immaterial to the near-term view, Credit Suisse is calling the timing "strange". Outperform rating and $9.65 target.

2017 results were marginally below Deutsche Bank's forecasts and revealed lower net debt and an increased buyback. Deutsche Bank makes only minor adjustments to 2018-20 forecasts.
While speculation on potential acquisitions mounts, the broker expects the company to be disciplined with its capital allocation and continue with its track record on dividends and cash returns.

Citi rates TAH as Buy (1) -
First half results missed Citi's expectations, largely on lower win rates in wagering. Nevertheless, wagering fundamentals appear solid and the broker forecasts 2.2% revenue growth in the segment in the second half, given the soft comparables.
Citi continues to exclude a share buyback in its forecasts, suspecting management may look for potential opportunities such as the WA TAB licence should a tender process eventuate. Buy rating maintained. Target reduced to $5.85 from $6.00.

Deutsche Bank rates TAH as Buy (1) -
First half results were weaker than expected. Still, Deutsche Bank believes the company is well positioned given weak comparables in the second half of FY17, the closure of Luxbet, integration of Tatts, and an improving regulatory environment.
Earnings estimates are reduced by -2-5%. Buy rating maintained. Target is reduced to $5.65 from $5.80.
Target price is $5.65 Current Price is $4.55 Difference: $1.1

Macquarie rates TAH as Outperform (1) -
First half results were softer than Macquarie expected. The broker remains attracted to the growth prospects and an improving operating environment through regulation.
Wagering/lottery businesses are both cycling soft comparables in the second half and the broker suggests a return to growth may restore investor confidence.
Outperform maintained. Target is reduced to $5.60 from $5.88.
Target price is $5.60 Current Price is $4.55 Difference: $1.05

Ord Minnett rates TAH as Lighten (4) -
Tabcorp's profit result was in line but earnings fell short of the broker on higher Sun Bets losses and lower wagering margins. The dividend also fell short.
Tabcorp is suffering from competition and inhibited growth, the broker notes. Sun Bets remains a risk, as does UBET integration and declining retail turnover. Digital lotteries should provide some relief but target falls to $4.50 from $4.80 and Lighten retained.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $4.50 Current Price is $4.55 Difference: minus $0.05 (current price is over target).
If TAH meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately minus 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $5.33, suggesting upside of 17.2% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

UBS rates TAH as Upgrade to Buy from Neutral (1) -
First half net profit missed UBS estimates. This was explained by a miss in Sun Bets and wagering.
UBS reduces normalised earnings per share forecasts by -14% for FY18 and -7% for FY19, with the changes mainly driven by higher commissions and higher operating costs in wagering. The broker does not believe this is a systemic issue.
Given the -12% share price decline since January the broker upgrades to Buy from Neutral. Target is reduced to $5.20 from $5.60.
Target price is $5.20 Current Price is $4.55 Difference: $0.65
If TAH meets the UBS target it will return approximately 14% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $5.33, suggesting upside of 17.2% (ex-dividends)

Overnight Price: $6.04
UBS rates TPM as Downgrade to Sell from Neutral (5) -
UBS values the company's NBN bypass option - the means outside the NBN to provide fixed broadband services - at around $250m. Despite this addition to valuation, following the recent run-up on the stock price, the rating is downgraded to Sell from Neutral.
The broker emphasises this is not suggesting the mobile foray will fail. However, the roll out is not without risk and, at the current share price, the risk/reward pay-off is insufficient, in the broker's opinion. Target is raised to $6.00 from $5.50.
Target price is $6.00 Current Price is $6.04 Difference: minus $0.04 (current price is over target).
If TPM meets the UBS target it will return approximately minus 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
Current consensus price target is $5.74, suggesting downside of -5.0% (ex-dividends)

VRL VILLAGE ROADSHOW LIMITED
Travel, Leisure & Tourism

Overnight Price: $3.16
Citi rates VRL as Upgrade to Neutral from Sell (3) -
Improving momentum in theme parks, a reduction in gearing and a drop in the share price has caused Citi to upgrade to Neutral from Sell.
The broker retains ongoing concerns about the cinema exhibition division which, combined with a reasonably full valuation, prevents it from being more bullish at this point.
Recent trading updates suggest Gold Coast theme parks may have finally hit an inflection point following the October 2016 Dreamworld incident. Target is reduced to $3.45 from $3.55.
Target price is $3.45 Current Price is $3.16 Difference: $0.29
If VRL meets the Citi target it will return approximately 9% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

WFD WESTFIELD CORPORATION
Infra & Property Developers

Overnight Price: $8.76
Macquarie rates WFD as Outperform (1) -
Macquarie reviews the terms of the current proposal for Westfield. The broker remains attracted to the near-term growth profile and the above-sector average earnings growth that is expected.
This could be supplemented by further competitive interest in the company or a change in terms resulting in a higher takeover price. Outperform rating maintained. Target reduced to $10.10 from $10.14.
Target price is $10.10 Current Price is $8.76 Difference: $1.34
If WFD meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 15% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Building Products & Services

Overnight Price: $3.86
Macquarie rates WGN as Initiation of coverage with Underperform (5) -
Macquarie initiates coverage with an Underperform rating and $3.25 target. The company has established a strong position in South East Queensland's construction materials market.
The broker's rating is based on a valuation premium that it considers unjustified, versus national players, and the earnings headwinds emanating from a new Queensland cement capacity.
Target price is $3.25 Current Price is $3.86 Difference: minus $0.61 (current price is over target).
If WGN meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 16% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
