Outperform

$29.98

-5.07%

Eagers Automotive has bought a 65% equity stake in CanadaOne for $1,043m, which is composed of $386m in scrip and $658m in cash. The owner/founder of CanadaOne, Pat Priestner, will retain a 30% stake in operating companies and 35% in property.

The Canadian market is around 1.6x larger than the Australian market and has grown at a long-term rate of up to 5.5% versus the Australian market at 3.4%.

The deal will be funded by a $452m entitlement offer of around 21.5m new shares at $21, a discount of -28.4% from the close. Nick Politis picked up 100% of his pro rata entitlement.

The analyst tweaks EPS estimates down -4% for 2025 for dilution, and up 7% and 5% for 2026/2027, respectively.

Target price lifts to $29.98 from $27.33. Macquarie believes the re-rating in the stock is justified and reflects the higher quality rating ascribed to overseas opportunities and a possible earnings upgrade cycle boosted by rate cuts.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 76.00 cents and EPS of 101.70 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 94.00 cents and EPS of 125.70 cents.

Buy

$30.60

-3.10%

Eagers Automotive will acquire 55% of CanadaOne Auto Group’s operating company and 65% of its property portfolio for -$1bn, with founder Pat Priestner retaining the balance.

Canaccord Genuity notes the vendor will reinvest $386m in Eagers shares. Also, Mitsubishi Corporation will acquire a 20% stake in easyauto123 for -$70m and take up a $50m placement in Eagers as part of their mobility partnership.

The broker considers the transaction with CanadaOne strategically sound, citing both companies’ “owner’s mindset” and long-term approach.

While initial earnings accretion is moderate, Canaccord expects operational efficiencies and bolt-on opportunities to drive growth in Canada.

The broker raises its target price to $30.60 from $28.00, while retaining a Buy rating.

Separately, in research two days later, Canaccord highlights September new vehicle sales rose 5.1% year-on-year, though year-to-date volumes remain down -1.4%.

Demand remains resilient, observes the broker, supported by easing interest rates and growing availability of lower-cost new energy vehicles (NEVs), which are drawing some buyers away from the used-vehicle market.

Eagers Automotive’s performance has become less tied to industry sales due to margin improvements, strategic initiatives, and diversification, explain the analysts.

Canaccord maintains broader market volumes still matter, as they influence gross margins and pricing pressure. 

FORECAST
Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 76.00 cents and EPS of 104.80 cents.
Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 95.00 cents and EPS of 140.70 cents.
