BHP  BHP GROUP

Bulks

Overnight Price: $36.22

Macquarie rates BHP as Outperform (1) -

Upon initial review. Macquarie analysts note the Big Australian has released a rather weak FY19 report, and there was no capital management on top of the dividend. Underlying profits turned out no less than -10% below what the analysts had penciled in.

Higher costs are to blame for the firm "miss" and the analysts note management has guided towards higher costs in FY20. The dividend also was below expectation. The weak result means net debt has increased.

Target price is $44.00 Current Price is $36.22 Difference: $7.78
If BHP meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 21% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Current consensus price target is $40.23, suggesting upside of 11.1% (ex-dividends)

Ord Minnett rates BHP as Hold (3) -

Upon initial assessment, Ord Minnett acknowledges the FY19 result missed market expectations, though it was broadly in line with its own projections, underlying. The declared dividend beat the broker's expectation.

Cost guidance looks in-line, while FY21 capex guidance is higher than anticipated, as the company intends to spend on Jansen. Ord Minnett suggests, all-in-all, it appears BHP has released a largely "clean" result.

This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.

Target price is $40.00 Current Price is $36.22 Difference: $3.78
If BHP meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 10% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Current consensus price target is $40.23, suggesting upside of 11.1% (ex-dividends)

Crude Oil

Overnight Price: $2.17

Citi rates BPT as Upgrade to Buy from Neutral (1) -

Upon initial analysis, Citi analysts had already expressed the view that market consensus will likely move higher following the release of FY19 financials. On second consideration, they have decided to upgrade to Buy from Neutral.

Earnings estimates have been lifted by 8-19%. The analysts do make the point they have incorporated future exploration success in their forecasts. Beach is hereby labeled the standout among E&P companies in Australia.

Citi analysts are of the view this company's portfolio could facilitate an accretive acceleration of growth. Within this framework, higher capex for the years ahead is a positive, they suggest. Price target lifts to $2.33 from $2.06.

Target price is $2.33 Current Price is $2.17 Difference: $0.16
If BPT meets the Citi target it will return approximately 7% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Credit Suisse rates BPT as Neutral (3) -

Beach Energy's FY19 result met the broker, and FY20 guidance outpaced by 8% thanks to a stronger production target.

Capital expenditure guidance across FY21-24 outpaced the broker by 45%, which will likely be allocated to boosting production given the company reported 204% reserve replacement following positive results at Western Flank.

On the downside, the broker fears lower contract price resets in FY20. Target rises to $2.11 from $2.02. Neutral rating retained.

Target price is $2.11 Current Price is $2.17 Difference: minus $0.06 (current price is over target).
If BPT meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately minus 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Macquarie rates BPT as Neutral (3) -

Beach energy posted a miss at the profit line but underlying earnings met expectation. FY20 guidance suggests significant upside although the broker is playing it more conservatively on production expectations.

Drilling success in FY20 is needed to de-risk and underpin a five-year production outlook which is currently below the broker's estimates. Neutral and $2.10 target retained.

Target price is $2.10 Current Price is $2.17 Difference: minus $0.07 (current price is over target).
If BPT meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Morgan Stanley rates BPT as Equal-weight (3) -

Net profit in FY19 was below Morgan Stanley's estimates. Guidance for FY20 is in line with expectations, apart from capital expenditure, which is forecast to be higher and driven by expenditure in the Cooper Basin and Otway Basin.

The broker likes the longer-term outlook, although there is some risks regarding medium-term targets for free cash and production.

Target is reduced to $2.00 from $2.10. Equal-weight retained. Industry view: In-Line.

Target price is $2.00 Current Price is $2.17 Difference: minus $0.17 (current price is over target).
If BPT meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately minus 8% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Ord Minnett rates BPT as Buy (1) -

FY19 results were strong although somewhat overshadowed, Ord Minnett believes, by the announcement of an accelerated growth campaign.

Capital expenditure has been increased in order to fund around 7% per annum medium-term production growth, the broker assesses.

However, Ord Minnett gives credit to Beach Energy for discovering that amount of growth potential from assets that were previously starved of capital.

Buy rating maintained. Target is raised to $2.55 from $2.50.

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 $2.17 Difference: $0.38

Steel & Scrap

Overnight Price: $12.10

Citi rates BSL as Buy (1) -

FY19 results were in line with Citi's estimates but this was overshadowed by disappointing guidance for the first half. The bulk of the headwinds are expected to reverse by the second half although Citi suspects consensus downgrades are likely.

The North Star project offers medium-term growth and, with an ongoing share buyback due to re-start, Citi recommends buying the dips. Buy rating and $15 target reiterated.

Target price is $15.00 Current Price is $12.10 Difference: $2.9
If BSL meets the Citi target it will return approximately 24% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Credit Suisse rates BSL as Outperform (1) -

BlueScope Steel's FY19 result met the broker but guidance proved a miss thanks to -$75m of impairments in the first-half. Elsewhere, the US$700m North Star expansion has been approved and commissioning is planned for December 2021.

Net cash came in at the top-end of guidance, providing cushioning against any sharp deterioration in steel spreads and funds for North Star.

Target price rises to $15.30 from $15. Outperform rating retained.

Target price is $15.30 Current Price is $12.10 Difference: $3.2
If BSL meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 26% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgan Stanley rates BSL as Overweight (1) -

FY19 results were in line with forecasts but guidance disappointed Morgan Stanley. This is now factored into the share price and the broker is looking for strong cash flow and further capital management to support an Overweight rating.

Management has formally approved the expansion of North Star for a total cost of -US$700m. Morgan Stanley reduces earnings (EBIT) forecast by -13% for FY20 and -4% for FY21. Target is reduced to $14.00 from $14.50. Industry view: Cautious.

Target price is $14.00 Current Price is $12.10 Difference: $1.9

Ord Minnett rates BSL as Accumulate (2) -

FY19 net profit was ahead of Ord Minnett's forecasts. The outlook for the first half of FY20 is softer than expected, with an unfavourable -$75m impact flagged by the company for the Australian Steel Products business.

As earnings are now re-based, Ord Minnett believes investors should look favourably on the expansion of the highest quality asset, North Star, and note that around 70% of the total cost is already sitting in the bank.

Accumulate rating maintained. Target is reduced to $14.00 from $15.50.

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 $12.10 Difference: $1.9

UBS rates BSL as Neutral (3) -

FY19 earnings (EBIT) were in line with expectations. The composition of earnings was a negative surprise for UBS, nevertheless.

Building products in Asia & North America as well as New Zealand materially missed forecasts. A turnaround appears likely to be slow.

The broker reduces forecasts for the first half of FY20 by -11%. Neutral rating and $12.20 target maintained.

Target price is $12.20 Current Price is $12.10 Difference: $0.1

Overnight Price: $28.34

Ord Minnett rates CCP as Hold (3) -

The company will acquire Baycorp for $65m, a reasonable price in Ord Minnett's view. The acquisition will mean a well-capitalised competitor exits the Australian market, improving the market structure, the broker observes.

Ord Minnett believes the business has a number of tailwinds over the next 12-18 months as supply conditions in the US improve, and given the competitive dynamics are likely to change in the Australian PDL market.

The broker expects the company to strategically deploy much of its financial headroom into strong returning assets. Hold rating maintained. Target is raised to $26.50 from $24.50.

This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.

Target price is $26.50 Current Price is $28.34 Difference: minus $1.84 (current price is over target).
If CCP meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately minus 6% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Overnight Price: $4.35

Macquarie rates CQR as Underperform (5) -

Charter Hall Retail reported in line with expectation and guidance. FY20 guidance falls short, on more asset sales and higher insurance costs. The growth outlook should improve, the broker suggests, as asset recycling is completed and the balance sheet is redeployed.

However given a track record of earnings per share growth not matching underlying earnings growth, the broker remains cautious. Underperform retained, target falls to $3.90 from $4.13.

Target price is $3.90 Current Price is $4.35 Difference: minus $0.45 (current price is over target).
If CQR meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately minus 10% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Wealth Management & Investments

Overnight Price: $2.20

Ord Minnett rates ENN as Hold (3) -

Funds management revenue grew modestly but was behind Ord Minnett's forecasts as base management fees compressed. Institutional capital now accounts for a substantial portion of assets under management.

The broker expects institutional partnerships will drive an acceleration in growth and therefore considers the trade-off with lower fee margins a worthwhile investment.

The broker forecasts around $500m of inflows in FY20. Hold rating and $2.28 target maintained.

Overnight Price: $3.33

Citi rates GWA as Downgrade to Sell from Neutral (5) -

Citi downgrades to Sell from Neutral as industry forecasts suggest sectors relating to around 84% of the company's bathroom & kitchens sales are likely to weaken over the next year or two. Citi suspects organic growth will be hard to come by.

The broker considers the stock expensive given the limited organic growth profile. Forecasts for earnings per share are reduced by -8-11%. Target is lowered to $3.13 from $3.26.

Credit Suisse rates GWA as Neutral (3) -

GWA Group's FY19 result fell -2% shy of Credit Suisse EBIT forecasts. The Methven acquisition performed poorly.

Market share rose modestly but not enough to gain excitement for FY20, which is likely to be hit by the deferral of FY19 capital expense and foreign-exchange headwinds.

Target price falls to $3.10 from $3.50. Neutral rating retained.

Macquarie rates GWA as Neutral (3) -

GWA's result met the broker but fell short of consensus. The core Bathroom & Kitchen business remained robust but recently acquired Methven disappointed with a -33% drop in earnings largely reflecting weakness in NZ housing.

Methven appeared to be stabilising late in the period and will be a swing factor in FY20, the broker suggests.

The outlook is soft for B&K but cost-out opportunities can provide margin protection. Cash flow conversion was a highlight, leading to an increased dividend. The broker cuts forecasts on higher D&A and its target to $3.40 from $3.60, Neutral retained.

Target price is $3.40 Current Price is $3.33 Difference: $0.07

Morgans rates GWA as Hold (3) -

FY19 results was slightly below forecasts. The main positive, Morgans assesses, was flat earnings from bathrooms & kitchens despite the weak housing market. This has led to profitable market share gains.

The main negative was Methven, with pro forma earnings (EBIT) down -33% because of weaker housing activity and delays in new product developments.

Morgans maintains a Hold rating, awaiting a sustained improvement in operating conditions. Target is reduced to $3.21 from $3.53.

FY19 results were strong and largely in line with UBS estimates. The broker is excited about the revenue opportunities and the potential for the company to grow and monetise the data analytics/Nidasu opportunity.

Macquarie rates LLC as Outperform (1) -

The broker fails to provide an assessment of Lendlease's FY19 result, given focus on a lack of any more bad news regarding the engineering division. The sale has attracted good interest, management noted, and several parties are currently undertaking due diligence.

This swamps all it would appear, and clearly pleased the market. Along with visibility developing around the earnings benefits from the urban regeneration pipeline, and the  launch of the next stage of residential at Barangaroo, the broker retains Outperform. Target rises to $16.41 from $16.01.

Ord Minnett rates LLC as Accumulate (2) -

FY19 net profit was ahead of Ord Minnett's forecasts. The broker considers the business is in a sound capital position, with gearing likely to peak at the mid point of the 10-20% target range. There is strong momentum in the development business.

Credit Suisse rates NHF as Underperform (5) -

Nib Holding's full-year result outpaced Credit Suisse by 7%. The broker believes maiden underlying operating profit guidance for FY20 was conservative.

Management noted that inflation was now exceeding revenue growth for the first time in four years.

The broker cuts FY20 estimates -0.5% to reflect Travel insurance downgrades and increases 1.3% in outer years.

Target price rises to $5.75 from $4.90 after removing the discount for equity raising and a delay in regulatory capital changes. Underperform rating retained.

Macquarie rates NHF as Neutral (3) -

The broker saw a strong result from nib as the insurer continues to grow above system. FY20 guidance is in line. What spooked the market, the broker suggests, was 12-month rolling claims leading premium growth by some 4%.

Management, however, believes claims inflation will now peak and Macquarie believes the business has a number of initiatives to offset the recent uptick in claims performance. Target rises to $6.95 from $6.39, Neutral retained.

Morgan Stanley rates NHF as Underweight (5) -

Morgan Stanley suggests the upgrade cycle is over and expectations of lower-for-longer claims are faltering while margins have peaked. The broker believes the market has largely overlooked the structural issues confronting the business.

The broker reiterates a cautious outlook, being disappointed with the soft 6% net margin guidance. Net profit estimates for FY20 are downgraded by -3%.

Morgans rates NHF as Hold (3) -

FY19 net profit was broadly in line with expectations. Morgans wonders whether there is some conservatism in setting guidance for FY20 underlying operating profit at "at least $200m" against a fourth quarter spike in claims inflation.

The broker reduces FY20-21 estimates for earnings per share by -5-6%. Hold maintained, as the stock is considered fair value at this point in the cycle with industry margins at cyclical highs. Target is reduced to $6.85 from $7.15.

Target price is $6.85 Current Price is $7.16 Difference: minus $0.31 (current price is over target).

Ord Minnett rates NHF as Upgrade to Hold from Sell (3) -

FY19 net profit was in line with Ord Minnett's forecasts. The company has flagged signs of increased claims inflation but Ord Minnett finds no discernible trends at this stage.

The broker believes the company can achieve above-system revenue growth in Australian Residents Health Insurance (ARHI) through policyholder growth.

Rating is upgraded to Hold from Sell as the share price has fallen -12.5% since the end of July. Target is raised to $6.97 from $6.58.

This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.

Target price is $6.97 Current Price is $7.16 Difference: minus $0.19 (current price is over target).

UBS rates NHF as Downgrade to Sell from Neutral (5) -

FY19 results were largely in line with UBS estimates. The emergence of higher hospital claims inflation over the fourth quarter along with a reduction in premium rates points to margin compression ahead, the broker asserts.

Credit Suisse rates NWL as Neutral (3) -

Netwealth Group's FY19 result was 2% ahead of consensus and 3% above Credit Suisse, thanks to tight cost management which led to a beat on margin guidance.

Guidance missed the broker thanks to higher cost forecasts due to investment and lower margins.

Macquarie rates NWL as Underperform (5) -

Netwealth's result came in ahead of expectation on a beat on costs, but costs will step up in FY20, Macquarie notes, to accommodate growth, and hence margins will tighten.

It will be challenging for the company to take market share in funds while maintaining investment levels, the broker warns.

The key risk is being able to execute in new revenue streams, while further RBA cuts will increase costs to the client across the industry. Target rises to $6.20 from $6.05, Underperform retained.

FY19 net profit was in line with expectations. The outlook statement has confirmed current trends, Morgans suggests, with strong growth in funds under administration and potential new business. This is partially offset by ongoing pricing pressure.

Morgans rates SIQ as Upgrade to Add from Hold (1) -

First half net profit was in line with forecasts. Topline growth was slightly better than Morgans expected. The broker believes the strong cash flow and low gearing provides options for acquisitions or capital management in the medium term.

Morgans rates WBC as Add (1) -

Westpac has indicated credit quality remains sound and the CET1 ratio of 10.5% is broadly in line with expectations. Morgans continues to expect a dividend reinvestment plan with a -1.5% discount will operate in respect of the final dividend for FY19.

The broker reduces cash earnings forecast by -0.2% and -0.6% for FY19 and FY20 respectively, largely because of lower loan growth forecasts. Add rating and $33 target maintained.

Target price is $33.00 Current Price is $27.99 Difference: $5.01
If WBC meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 18% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Current consensus price target is $28.50, suggesting upside of 1.8% (ex-dividends)

The company's fiscal year ends in September.

Ord Minnett rates WBC as Hold (3) -

Ord Minnett found some signs of credit quality deterioration in the regulatory capital update, albeit in line with expectations. Most of the rise in stressed assets related to higher mortgage arrears, while the actual loss rate in mortgages remains very low.

Another area of softness was "watch-list"/sub-standard loans, particularly in the retail, manufacturing and property sectors.

The broker maintains a Hold rating and trims the target to $28.30 from $28.50.

This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.

Target price is $28.30 Current Price is $27.99 Difference: $0.31
If WBC meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 1% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Current consensus price target is $28.50, suggesting upside of 1.8% (ex-dividends)

Overnight Price: $1.49

Credit Suisse rates WGN as Outperform (1) -

Wagners Holding Company's FY19 result was -2% shy of consensus and at the bottom end of revised-down, low-quality guidance.

The Boral ((BLD)) court dispute is scheduled for September 16/17 and the broker models a -10% decline thereafter should Wagner succeed.

Morgans rates WGN as Hold (3) -

FY19 earnings (EBIT) were marginally higher than Morgans expected. Recent weakness in east coast construction has meant the stock has aggressively de-rated and the broker suspects this has uncovered value.

Target price is $1.63 Current Price is $1.49 Difference: $0.14
