Upgrade to Neutral from Sell

$14.25

-10.88%

Citi upgrades to Neutral from Sell and raises the target price to $14.25 from $9.50.

Eagers Automotive reported 2024 PBT of $371m, down -15%, with a 3.3% margin, slightly ahead of Citi’s 3.2% estimate but in line with consensus, the analyst observes.

The broker points to cost control and inventory management as key strengths, with PBT margins expected to stabilise in 1H 2025 before expanding in 2026

Management forecasts $1bn in turnover growth for 2025, with around  $400m from BYD expansion. Citi remains cautious, expecting a lower $350m uplift due to slowing EV demand.

The analyst upgrades FY25/26 PBT forecasts by 13-20%, reflecting revenue guidance and a stronger margin outlook.

FORECAST
Citi forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 68.80 cents and EPS of 100.80 cents.
Citi forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 68.80 cents and EPS of 104.70 cents.

Neutral

$14.05

-12.13%

Eagers Automotive's FY24 result was broadly in line with Jarden's forecasts, so the focus was mainly on revenue guidance for FY25 and margins.

The broker lifted FY25 revenue forecast following the company's guidance of a $1bn increase over FY24 from recent acquisitions; two months from Victorian Group and Alice Springs Toyota, and 10 months from Norris Group.

The analyst also raised gross profit and profit before tax margin estimates by 40-50bps, though on a y/y basis the profile is mostly flat.

The broker sees upside risks to EPS on brand mix benefits but also cautions about downside risks from election uncertainty, new emission stands and Chinese OEM supply.

Target price is $14.05 and rating is Neutral.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 81.90 cents and EPS of 100.50 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 84.60 cents and EPS of 103.90 cents.
