Credit Suisse rates A2M as Upgrade to Outperform from Underperform (1) -
Credit Suisse's assessment of A2's Sep Q numbers is that the company is handling the challenges much better than its peers. Revenue has stood out in the face of online issues in China and weaker sales in A&NZ.
A2 is proving more agile in its ability to expand channels locally and direct to China/HK, the broker suggests. The broker has increased its target to NZ$2.28 from NZ$1.87. This results in an upgrade to Outperform from Underperform.
Current Price is $2.04. Target price not assessed.
Current consensus price target is $1.50, suggesting downside of -25.4% (ex-dividends)
The company's fiscal year ends in June.

UBS rates A2M as Neutral (3) -
The company has signalled strong first-quarter sales growth in infant formula and drinking milk products. UBS does not expect regulatory changes to materially impact FY17 trading but acknowledges close monitoring is required.
The broker slows its infant formula growth profile for FY17-19, which leads to 2-6% downgrades to earnings per share. A Neutral rating is maintained. Target is raised to NZ $2.30 from NZ$2.22.
Current Price is $2.04. Target price not assessed.
Current consensus price target is $1.50, suggesting downside of -25.4% (ex-dividends)

Ord Minnett rates AGL as Accumulate (2) -
Ord Minnett believes substantial price rises for wholesale electricity could actually delay, or even cancel, capacity closures following the withdrawal of Hazelwood from generation.
Yet, if Yallourn, Liddell and Loy Yang B are added to the closures this could lead to wholesale prices above $100 per megawatt hour by 2025.
The broker maintains an Accumulate rating and $23 target and views AGL as the biggest beneficiary of base load capacity closures. The broker upgrades forecasts for FY18-19 by 10%.
Target price is $23.00 Current Price is $19.69 Difference: $3.31
If AGL meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 17% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Market Sentiment: 0.8
All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
Credit Suisse rates APO as Outperform (1) -
APN Outdoor's guidance upgrade is one of the better ones, the broker suggests, as it does not reflect a market-wide pick-up but rather improved sales execution from the company and an accelerated roadside digitisation schedule.
The broker has made modest forecast upgrades, noting the market had expected a lot worse. Outperform and $6.70 target retained.
Target price is $6.70 Current Price is $5.42 Difference: $1.28
If APO meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 24% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

The company now expects revenue and EBITDA to be above its prior downgraded guidance and has confirmed an intention to accelerate its digital billboard roll out in 2016 and beyond. 2016 revenue guidance is now for growth of 8.5-9%.
Morgan Stanley believes these announcements should provide the market with confidence that the company can benefit from structural growth in outdoor advertising in Australasia.
Overweight rating and $7.00 target retained. Industry view: Attractive
Target price is $7.00 Current Price is $5.42 Difference: $1.58
If APO meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately 29% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

UBS rates APO as Buy (1) -
2016 guidance is upgraded, with EBITDA now expected to be $84-86m. The mid point is slightly above prior estimates and UBS upgrades earnings per share estimates for 2016 and 2017 by 2% and 3% respectively.
The broker concludes from the update that earnings downside is limited. Longer term the broker remains wary of the potential impact of higher rents, regulation, and cyclical ad markets. Buy rating and $6 target unchanged.
Target price is $6.00 Current Price is $5.42 Difference: $0.58

Citi rates AWC as Sell (5) -
Citi analysts have been sceptical about Alumina ltd's share price potential/valuation for a while. In their latest piece of analysis, they argue the present share price doesn't make any sense since it implies a higher valuation for the 40% in AWAC than for the whole of partner Alcoa. Sell. Target $1.30.
Target price is $1.30 Current Price is $1.65 Difference: minus $0.345 (current price is over target).
If AWC meets the Citi target it will return approximately minus 21% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

UBS rates BWP as Upgrade to Neutral from Sell (3) -
The stock has been the second worst performing A-REIT in the year to date and UBS believes the valuation can no longer justify a Sell rating, upgrading to Neutral.
The stock remains expensive versus the rest of the sector, the broker acknowledges, with the lowest growth in the sector after taking into account the potential down time as leases expire. Over the next three years 20% of the portfolio is expiring, reflecting 17 leases.
The broker's earnings estimates from FY20 take a vacancy factor into account. Target is revised down to $2.95 from $3.06.
Target price is $2.95 Current Price is $2.95 Difference: $0
If BWP meets the UBS target it will return approximately 0% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $2.88, suggesting downside of -1.4% (ex-dividends)

Current consensus EPS estimate suggests the PER is 16.3. |

Credit Suisse rates BXB as Upgrade to Neutral from Underperform (3) -
It beggars belief why no one thought of it earlier, but Brambles' initiative to use clinch nails to stop pallets falling apart with use appears to be working, reducing the capex requirement of pallet repair.
This addresses one of three issues Credit Suisse sees facing the company, the other two being mean reversion in emerging market pallets and a rebasing of earnings by new management.
On balance, the broker believes the fall in the share price has brought Brambles closer to risk/reward fair value. Upgrade to Neutral. Target unchanged at $11.30.
Target price is $11.30 Current Price is $11.13 Difference: $0.17
If BXB meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 2% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Citi rates CBA as Neutral (3) -
Citi analysts suggest CBA's core profit was probably in-line with their own and with market consensus expectations. Bad and Doubtful Debts surprised to the downside. CBA’s CET 1 was 9.4%.
The analysts note capital generation remains strong, but there's pressure on the top line. The analysts now assume the interim report next year will show revenue decline to the tune of 2-3%.
Minor increases to estimates have been implemented, due to lower BDDs, but otherwise Neutral rating retained.
Target price is $75.00 Current Price is $72.07 Difference: $2.93
If CBA meets the Citi target it will return approximately 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Credit Suisse rates CBA as Outperform (1) -
CBA's Sep Q update was in line with forecasts but compositionally weaker than expected, given a softer net interest margin was masked by a lower bad debt charge and stronger market trading profits, the broker notes.
The broker has slightly trimmed forecast earnings but retains Outperform, noting CBA is trading at an 8% PE premium to peers when 14% is the four-year average. Target unchanged at $85.
Target price is $85.00 Current Price is $72.07 Difference: $12.93
If CBA meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 18% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Target price is $77.80 Current Price is $72.07 Difference: $5.73

The broker appreciates operational efficiencies could be achieved but, given the significant changes at management and board level over the last year, believes any turnaround in earnings will take longer than 12 months.
The broker maintains a Lighten recommendation and reduces the target to $1.20 from $1.25.
Target price is $1.20 Current Price is $1.36 Difference: minus $0.155 (current price is over target).
If CLH meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately minus 11% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.
Forecast for FY17:
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY17 dividend of 8.00 cents and EPS of 14.00 cents. |
Forecast for FY18:
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY18 dividend of 8.00 cents and EPS of 15.00 cents. |

CLW CHARTER HALL LONG WALE REIT
Real Estate
Overnight Price: $3.96
Macquarie rates CLW as Initiation of coverage with Underperform (5) -
The Charter Hall Long WALE REIT business is essentially an externally-managed landlord with 66 investment properties spanning industrial, office and retail assets. The portfolio is characterised by long duration leases and annual rent reviews which are fixed or CPI linked.
Macquarie initiates coverage with an Underperform rating and $3.82 target. The broker notes, while the exposure is diluted to a degree by the long-term nature of the leases, the business does have a 26% exposure to Western Australia.
This is the highest exposure to that state in the stocks under the broker's coverage. WA is typically a more volatile real estate market compared with the eastern states.
Target price is $3.82 Current Price is $3.96 Difference: minus $0.14 (current price is over target).
If CLW meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).
The company's fiscal year ends in June.
Forecast for FY17:
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY17 dividend of 16.30 cents and EPS of 17.10 cents. |
Forecast for FY18:
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY18 dividend of 27.50 cents and EPS of 28.30 cents. |

Citi rates DLX as Downgrade to Neutral from Buy (3) -
Citi analysts saw yet another solid and resilient performance, as has become the company's habit, and they point out leading indicators remain positive and existing housing resilient.
Yet, they have downgraded to Neutral from Buy on slightly lowered estimates, which pulls back the price target by -4% to $6.68. The Masters ((WOW)) stock liquidation could impact the market in 1H17, say the analysts, but otherwise no disasters expected.
Target price is $6.68 Current Price is $6.19 Difference: $0.49
If DLX meets the Citi target it will return approximately 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $6.10, suggesting upside of 0.6% (ex-dividends)

Credit Suisse rates DLX as Underperform (5) -
Dulux' underlying FY16 earnings growth in its core business painted a disappointing picture for the broker, underwhelming at a time when the housing cycle is providing a golden opportunity.
Operating cost controls and lower finance costs are supporting the bottom line but these won't be replicated for too much longer, the broker warns. Then the housing cycle will turn down. Underperform and $6.00 target retained.
Target price is $6.00 Current Price is $6.19 Difference: minus $0.19 (current price is over target).
If DLX meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately minus 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Deutsche Bank rates DLX as Sell (5) -
FY16 results were broadly in line with Deutsche Bank's estimates. While FY17 guidance for underlying earnings growth is in line, the company is pointing to a flat margin outcome for paint in Australasia as well as increased investment in the UK.
Garage doors continue to disappoint. The company expects the renovation market to remain resilient and new housing to be relatively strong. Target is $5.20. Sell rating maintained as the stock is trading at a 19% premium to valuation.
Target price is $5.20 Current Price is $6.19 Difference: minus $0.99 (current price is over target).
If DLX meets the Deutsche Bank target it will return approximately minus 16% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Macquarie rates DLX as Neutral (3) -
FY16 results were in line with expectations. The company expects FY17 adjusted net profit will be higher than FY16, underpinned by growth in alterations and additions as well as strength in new building activity.
While the stock's relatively stable earnings profile is attractive, Macquarie finds the current valuation offers little incentive. Structural changes in the Australian paint market may play into the company's hands, but the broker does not think a one-way outcome in favour of Dulux can be discounted with certainty.
Neutral retained. Target rises to $6.30 from $6.20.
Target price is $6.30 Current Price is $6.19 Difference: $0.11
If DLX meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 2% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgan Stanley rates DLX as Underweight (5) -
The main disappointment in the FY16 result for Morgan Stanley was the weaker second half revenue in paints & coatings in Australasia.
Given limited medium-term earnings growth against a slowing domestic paint market, the broker believes a discount to the ASX100 industrials ex financials is justified. In addition,given the higher capex profile over FY17, free cash flow appears poor in the near term.
Underweight rating and In-Line sector view maintained. Target is $5.84.
Target price is $5.84 Current Price is $6.19 Difference: minus $0.35 (current price is over target).
If DLX meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately minus 6% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Morgans rates DLX as Hold (3) -
FY16 results were largely in line with Morgans and management has guided to higher earnings in FY17.
Despite a neutral stance for the short-term, the broker is positive, for the longer term and would look to reconsider its view on any share price weakness. A Hold rating is retained. Target rises to $6.34 from $6.19.
Target price is $6.34 Current Price is $6.19 Difference: $0.15

Ord Minnett rates DLX as Lighten (4) -
Ord Minnett suspects the company will enter a tougher period for earnings growth in FY17, as support for the macroeconomic environment fades.
The broker now expects Dulux to achieve a profit growth rate of 2.5% over FY16-19. The broker does not believe this dynamic is fully reflected in the share price which puts it at a risk of further de-rating.
Lighten rating retained. Target is reduced to $5.90 from $6.15.
Target price is $5.90 Current Price is $6.19 Difference: minus $0.29 (current price is over target).

UBS rates DLX as Neutral (3) -
FY16 results slightly missed UBS estimates. Paints and coatings division earnings were robust, up 5% because of better margins.
The garage doors division was notably weaker, with earnings declining around 6% on the back of cost increases and weakness in the higher margin renovation and repair segment.
UBS retains a Neutral rating. The broker notes upside potential to earnings from further gains in share of the decorative paints market and a turnaround in the non-paint business. Target is reduced to $6.50 from $6.60.
Target price is $6.50 Current Price is $6.19 Difference: $0.31

Citi rates IPL as Buy (1) -
Incitec Pivot released FY16 financials that were broadly in-line, comment analysts at Citi, with fertiliser slightly worse and explosives slightly better than expectations. One positive was lower debt.
Citi analysts stand by their view we are near the trough in market conditions for the company, with sentiment understandably cautious. But this is when the largest gains are to be made, they state. Buy rating retained.
Target price is $3.20 Current Price is $2.96 Difference: $0.24

Credit Suisse rates IPL as Neutral (3) -
Incitec's result was in line with the broker. Lower than expected net debt leads to a target price increase to $3.28 from $3.10.
Where the stock goes from here is dependent on the price outlook for urea and ammonia, the broker suggests. Moranbah is running at full capacity so there's no volume upside to look forward to from the coal industry's revival.
Urea appears to have stabilised and ammonia may be close to a bottom but there's no certainty and thus earnings are hard to forecast, the broker admits. Neutral retained.
Target price is $3.28 Current Price is $2.96 Difference: $0.32

Deutsche Bank rates IPL as Buy (1) -
FY16 results were positive in Deutsche Bank's view and slightly above, albeit depressed, expectations.
The company continues to benefit from the $80m cost reduction program and the ramp up of the WALA ammonia plant, but the cyclical reduction in global fertiliser prices is expected to continue into 2017.
Deutsche Bank reduces earnings forecasts by 4%. A Buy rating is maintained as the stock is trading at a 25% discount to valuation. Target is reduced to $3.95 from $4.10.
Target price is $3.95 Current Price is $2.96 Difference: $0.99

Macquarie rates IPL as Outperform (1) -
FY16 profit beat Macquarie's expectations. The broker notes the company's language is softer regarding near-term prospects of capital management, the timing of which is heavily dependent on the fertiliser price and a reliably-running Louisiana plant.
The broker continues to find the stock is attractive but believes the extent of a recovery remains to be seen. Outperform retained. Target is raised to $3.55 from $3.52.
Target price is $3.55 Current Price is $2.96 Difference: $0.59

Morgan Stanley rates IPL as Underweight (5) -
The earnings outlook for the company continues to deteriorate, Morgan Stanley believes. While investors remain hopeful of a cyclical recovery the broker expects the first half may test their resolve.
Recent improvements in urea prices have been met with some optimism and the broker cannot discount that this could be a turning point. Nevertheless, DAP, ammonia and soft commodity prices continue to show negative momentum.
Moreover, significant new low-cost capacity is still to enter the market and this could push prices lower, Morgan Stanley contends.The broker retains a Underweight rating and Cautious industry view. The target is raised to $2.36 from $2.30.
Target price is $2.36 Current Price is $2.96 Difference: minus $0.6 (current price is over target).

Morgans rates IPL as Hold (3) -
FY16 results were better than Morgans expected because of lower quality items. Challenging end markets are expected to persist and may worsen in FY17. The broker suspects consensus estimates are too high.
Based on the broker's forecasts the stock is considered fairly valued. A Hold rating is retained. Target rises to $3.00 from $2.85.

FY16 results exceeded Ord Minnett's forecasts. The company has acted swiftly to make deeper cuts to its cost base as macro conditions deteriorate.

UBS rates IPL as Upgrade to Buy from Neutral (1) -
Net profit was ahead of expectations but EBIT was in line. UBS reduces FY17 forecasts for earnings per share by 7%, which reflects lower average fertiliser price assumptions. This is partly offset by the realisation of additional cost reductions.
The broker upgrades to Buy from Neutral because fertiliser prices are forecast to bottom. Also, the company's cash flow outlook suggests a moderation of gearing metrics. Target is raised to $3.40 from $2.95.
Target price is $3.40 Current Price is $2.96 Difference: $0.44

There has been significant drilling success at Jervois since mid 2015 and Morgans believes a larger resource will have a positive impact on the project value.
