Household & Personal Products

Overnight Price: $1.76
UBS rates ABY as Downgrade to Neutral from Buy (3) -
Adore Beauty has appointed Tamlin Morton as new CEO, starting January 9.
While the broker appreciates the less discretionary qualities of the beauty category, it spies little upside from here given September-quarter results met the broker's forecasts but earnings (EBITDA) margin guidance proved a miss.
UBS observes the company is targeting margins of 8% to 10% in FY27, a figure the broker considers overly ambitious.
Rating downgraded to Neutral from Buy. Target price falls to $1.95 from $2.

Macquarie rates AMI as Outperform (1) -
The Managing Director and CEO of Aurelia Metals has stepped down, with an interim CEO appointed as a global search for a replacement gets underway.
The company also appointed KPMG to review its operations in an effort to improve operational performance, plant efficiencies, operating costs and capital management. Macquarie, however, feels the review may be a red flag and could increase downside risk.
The Outperform rating is retained and the target price decreases to $0.23 from $0.25.

Overnight Price: $43.94
Macquarie rates BHP as Outperform (1) -
BHP Group has lifted its bid for OZ Minerals ((OZL)) by 13% in what it has indicated will be a final offer. The new price is a 49.3% premium to the share price prior to the initial offer, and implies an enterprise value of $9.6bn.
Macquarie considers BHP to have capacity to execute on the takeover at the current offer and maintain a solid balance sheet. The broker also expects the revised offer to allow OZ Minerals to pay a $2.00 per share franked dividend ahead of the takeover.
The Outperform rating and target price of $45.00 are retained.
Target price is $45.00 Current Price is $43.94 Difference: $1.06

Ord Minnett rates BHP as Hold (3) -
Ord Minnett notes the 13% increase in the takeover price to $28.25 from $25 for OZ Minerals ((OZ)) by BHP Group.
Due diligence for four weeks is now enabled and the OZ Minerals ((OZL)) board is expected to endorse the offer once the "binding scheme implementation agreement" is received.
At this stage the broker envisages BHP Group will divest the Brazil portfolio for some $500m and they await further possible synergy announcements.
The deal should be completed by mid 2023.
The Hold recommendation and $42 target are retained.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $42.00 Current Price is $43.94 Difference: minus $1.94 (current price is over target).
If BHP meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately minus 4% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

Overnight Price: $16.62
Ord Minnett rates BSL as Buy (1) -
Ord Minnett is looking for a trading update at the November 22 AGM for BlueScope Steel with the current EBIT guidance for FY23 ($800m - $900m) expected to be maintained.
Although the analyst notes lower volumes may impact by $50m and recent weakness in steel prices may impact, with the North Star spread of US$252/t around -23% below the IH23 guidance.
As a result EBIT forecasts are lowered by -14% and -19% for FY23 and FY24.
A Buy rating is retained and the target adjusted to $20 from $21.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.
Target price is $20.00 Current Price is $16.62 Difference: $3.38
If BSL meets the Ord Minnett target it will return approximately 20% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

The company's fiscal year ends in June.

All consensus data are updated until yesterday. FNArena's consensus calculations require a minimum of three sources
UBS rates BSL as Buy (1) -
UBS sees upside to BlueScope Steel's earnings (EBIT) guidance as currency benefits outpace higher coal costs and weakness in East Asia, but the broker lowers forecasts to reflect recession concerns.
UBS also observes the company is gaining market share in Australian Steel Products, with Colorbond prices strong, and backlogs extending 9-12 months, and that that North Star is trading at a sharp discount to US peers, all of which the broker expects will cushion the company from global macro trends.
The broker is forecasting a soft landing but a landing nonetheless. EPS forecasts fall -11%.
Buy rating retained, the broker noting BluesScope is trading at a -40% discount to key US peers. Target price falls to $20.50 from $22.60.
Target price is $20.50 Current Price is $16.62 Difference: $3.88
If BSL meets the UBS target it will return approximately 23% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

The company's fiscal year ends in June.

Overnight Price: $0.39
Morgans rates EPY as Add (1) -
Despite strong organic growth, FY23 profit guidance by EarlyPay was a miss versus Morgans forecast due to higher funding costs and provisioning than expected.
The broker likes the solid underlying client volume growth and considers the additional provisioning is logical.
Morgans retains an Add rating and points to ongoing solid underlying momentum into FY23, with average funds in use now expected to be up 25% on the previous corresponding period.
The target falls to 52c from 57c after the broker aligns its forecasts to amended guidance.
Target price is $0.52 Current Price is $0.39 Difference: $0.135

Overnight Price: $3.32
Morgans rates HLS as Add (1) -
A 1Q trading update by Healius revealed to Morgans a dramatic slowing of covid testing, which has now moved into the normal pathology network from drive-through sites.
On the flipside, the analyst points to improving base business trends, with Imaging growing at above market and Pathology progressively increasing. Strong 2H FY23 growth is expected. No FY23 guidance was provided.
The broker lowers FY23-25 profit forecasts by -21.5%, -16.5% and -14.2%, respectively, on lower covid testing and base business assumptions. The target falls to $3.96 from $4.50, while the Add rating is unchanged.
Target price is $3.96 Current Price is $3.32 Difference: $0.64
If HLS meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 19% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Ord Minnett rates HLS as Downgrade to Lighten from Hold (4) -
Post the Sonic Healthcare ((SHL)) trading update, Ord Minnett has taken a knife to Healius earnings forecasts due to the challenging macro environment from declining covid testing, rising costs and a slower turnaround in the base business.
EPS forecasts are lowered by -37% for FY23 and -28% for FY24.
The rating is downgraded to Lighten from Hold and the rating declines to $2.95 from $3.90.
Target price is $2.95 Current Price is $3.32 Difference: minus $0.37 (current price is over target).

Citi rates ILU as Neutral (3) -
Titanium demand has softened, and Citi sees -15-20% price downside in the December quarter compared to a more typical seasonal decline in the low teens. The weakest demand is in China, followed by Europe with US holding up best so far.
Demand should trough out in 2023 but for now macro conditions see US housing starts showing no signs of bottoming. The key risk to Iluka Resources' near-term earnings forecasts is rutile and synthetic rutile prices falling further/faster than anticipated, Citi notes.

Morgan Stanley rates LOV as Overweight (1) -

UBS does an about-face on Lovisa Holdings after the AGM trading date, believing its August downgrading was premature after like for like sales grew 60% in the first 19 weeks of FY23.
Store network growth is outpacing global peers, the company is set to enter three new markets, and the broker expects strong revenue, earnings and margins growth accordingly.

Morgans was ahead of the game by recently upgrading forecasts for Nanosonics, as shown by a four month trading update at the company's AGM, which revealed a 42% increase in revenue, along with an increase in the installed base.

Ord Minnett rates NHF as Upgrade to Accumulate from Lighten (2) -
nib Holdings trading update for the first four months of FY23 at the AGM revealed a well received lift in underlying profits, according to Ord Minnett.

Morgans rates OZL as Hold (3) -
Morgans feels the higher $28.25/share offer by BHP Group ((BHP)) for OZ Minerals has a high likelihood of success and shares will probably trade below the offer price with less chance of a competing offer emerging.
The brokers also suggests the significant time to completion (beyond mid-2023) will keep the share price trading under the offer price due to the time value of money.
The target rises to $28.25 from $25.70. Hold.

Ord Minnett rates OZL as Accumulate (2) -
Ord Minnett considers the raised takeover offer price of $28.25 per share for OZ Minerals by BHP Group ((BHP)) as a "great" result for shareholders, as the price is an estimated 40% premium to the calculated NAV.
The bid price also implies a long term copper price of US$4/lb which is above the broker's US$3.5/lb forecast.
BHP Group ((BHP)) has been allowed a four week due diligence time frame with the deal is dependent on a satisfactory outcome, as well as unanimous endorsement from the OZ Minerals board and the company not looking for other offers.

UBS rates OZL as Neutral (3) -
UBS upgrades OZ Minerals' target price to $28.25 from $26.50 to reflect BHP's ((BHP)) revised offer, which BHP advises is its best and final bid.
The broker notes OZ Minerals' board plans to unanimously recommend the new proposal subject to the usual due diligence and independent expert's report. The broker also notes the cash component of the closing dividend will be subtracted from the bid price.
UBS doesn't rule out another bid but finds it hard to imagine which global companies could compete with BHP in a country where it can extract no synergies.

Citi rates SFR as Downgrade to Neutral from Buy (3) -
Sandfire Resources' announcement of a $200m equity raise is somewhat unexpected and Citi thinks the reaction may be mixed. Sandfire assured a raise wasn’t required for debt covenants but for “balance sheet flexibility”.
There is a new CEO coming, costs at MATSA have edged higher, and ASX copper peers are becoming scarcer (in reference to the OZ Minerals takeover) but the copper price is also 7% higher, Citi notes, and China reopening headlines have helped lift the share price 24%.
Citi's near-term base case is for substantial downside in base metals prices over the next 3-6 months. Copper is now pricing a major near-term recovery in demand growth, which is unlikely to materialise before the June quarter next year in the broker's view.
Downgrade to Neutral from Buy, target falls to $5.40 from $5.50.
Target price is $5.40 Current Price is $4.79 Difference: $0.61

Ord Minnett rates SFR as Downgrade to Sell from Hold (5) -
Ord Minnett view the $200m entitlement offer at $4.30 per share as a positive, boosting the price target by 9% to $3.60 and at pitched a $1 premium to the analyst's net present value.
