Outperform

$191.90

14.11%

After updating forecasts following yesterday's 1H results by Xero, Macquarie raises its target to $191.90 from $188.50 and maintains an Outperform rating.

Yesterday's Broker Call summary: Macquarie's initial take on Xero's 1H25 results shows improved cost management, with a gross margin around 89%, opex to sales at 71.2%, and a free cash flow margin of 21%, driven by 8.9% sales growth in small businesses.

Average revenue per user was better than anticipated at NZ$43.01, up 11% year-on-year, due to strong uptake of higher-priced plans in Australia, robust payments performance, and "idle" subscription churn.

Management reiterated FY25 guidance.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 142.18 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 27.15 cents and EPS of 220.14 cents.
