First-time FY25 EBIT guidance for Austal of $80m (in line with consensus) is an improvement on the more general prior guidance for “growth”, highlights Citi.

While accounting treatment is still being finalised, the broker sees further upside potential should the US$450m submarine
contract be treated as recurring income.

Target $4.14. Buy.

Austal’s AGM provided two key pointers that support Petra Capital's view that earnings are set to track higher over the next several years. The first is earnings guidance for FY25 that implies growth year on year of 41%.

The second is its intent to maximise the benefits of the company's strategic partnerships in the US and Australia to become a more integral part of the naval vessel procurement and sustainment cycle value chain in both countries.

Buy and $3.70 target retained.

FORECAST
Petra Capital forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 3.00 cents and EPS of 11.60 cents.
Petra Capital forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 7.00 cents and EPS of 13.70 cents.
