Buy

$40.50

17.26%

UBS previews online classifieds for the 2H24 and believes the sector is well positioned to continue to underwrite growth via yields and price rises.

The broker forecasts CAR Group to generate "good" growth in Dealer and Private into FY25, including private price rises of 6% in July.

In the US market, Citi expects "good growth and strong EBITDA growth" in FY25 with the potential boost from Fed rate cuts and strong growth is also expected from Brazil.

The earnings forecasts are lowered by -3% for FY24/FY25 due to forex impacts.

A Buy rating is retained, and the target price lifted 5% to $40.50.

Underweight

$29.00

-16.04%

Another solid result from CAR Group for the 1H24 was not enough to deter Jarden from retaining an Underweight rating on valuation grounds.

Costs were higher than forecast but 18.4% revenue growth beat both consensus and the broker's estimates.

Looking ahead, Private has experienced a loss of share to Dealers, resulting in a small increase to Dealer revenue forecasts alongside a lift in media revenue.

Overseas, Jarden commends management for the execution on recent US and Brazilian acquisitions.

With a modest increase in EBITDA forecasts, the target price is raised to $29 from $27.50. Underweight rating.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 74.50 cents and EPS of 91.20 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 83.20 cents and EPS of 110.00 cents.
