Before turning more upbeat on the outlook for Fletcher Building, UBS is seeking increased evidence of a tangible rise in activity levels, opposed to industry contacts inferring a more positive environment post rate cuts in NZ.

The broker notes the next trading update will be at the ASM on October 23 with management not offering any guidance at the recent NZ$700m capital raising.

Earnings forecasts are lowered by -7% in FY25 and -4% in FY26 for lower home sale volumes versus higher construction earnings, as well as higher head office costs and softer Australian operating leverage.

Target price lowers to NZ$3.25 from NZ$3.45 with a Neutral rating maintained.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 13.77 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 22.03 cents.

Fletcher Building provided a weaker-than-expected AGM trading update, Goldman Sachs highlights. The company did not give explicit FY25 EBIT guidance but expects a 1H/2H split of 40/60, compared to prior expectations of 45/55.

Materials and Distribution volumes were down -10-15% year-on-year, with declining revenue trends and a highly competitive market leading to continued margin pressure.

The broker has adjusted its FY25 EBIT forecast downward by -13% and maintained a Neutral rating with the price target unchanged at $2.75. No significant changes were made to financial forecasts.

FORECAST
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 14.69 cents.
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 15.60 cents and EPS of 23.86 cents.
