$2.75

11.79%

An AGM trading update by affordable accommodation provider Aspen Group highlighted a strong underlying performance, according to Bell Potter, and FY25 EPS guidance was upgraded to 16.0c from 15.2c.

Upgraded guidance is partly explained by $2.5m more development profit than expected, note the analysts, with embedded development profit of $8.9m already exceeding the FY24 number.

The broker raises its FY25-27 EPS forecasts to incorporate a higher margin and settlement profile from residential and land lease development.

Buy. Target rises to $2.75 from $2.50.

FORECAST
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 10.00 cents and EPS of 16.10 cents.
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 10.30 cents and EPS of 17.50 cents.

In mid-October, Aspen Group reported Q1 FY25 underlying EPS of 4.4c, up 20% year-on-year and well above the run-rate needed to achieve prior FY25 guidance of 15.2c, notes Moelis.

Management has now upgraded FY25 guidance for underlying EPS to 16.0c and announced plans to double its production of houses and land sites to 200 in FY25, compared to 97 settlements in FY24, highlights the broker.

Aspen divested -50% of its stake in Eureka Group ((EGH)), reducing its gearing to below 22% from 25.7%, and signalling a shift toward development income, which Moelis views as incrementally positive for long-term value creation.

Moelis raises its target price to $2.73 from $2.53 and retains a Buy rating.

FORECAST
Moelis forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 9.70 cents and EPS of 16.00 cents.
Moelis forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 10.20 cents and EPS of 16.60 cents.
