Sell

$66.00

-7.17%

UBS continues to thump the table on Wesfarmers, believing investors are paying "too much" for Bunnings at a forward 34x multiple and the stock is trading at historically high valuations.

The broker also stresses the downgraded lithium price outlook with UBS resources reducing price forecasts by -3% to -26% from 2025 to 2028 on the back of African and Chinese supply.

UBS points to lithium as a future earnings support for Wesfarmers which has now been deferred until the late 2020s at a time when there are increasing challenges for its chemicals/fertiliser and energy business from changing consumer demand and gas costs.

UBS revises FY26 EPS by -1%, FY25 is unchanged. Sell rating and $66 target price retained.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 204.00 cents and EPS of 232.00 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 221.00 cents and EPS of 250.00 cents.
