$4.91

-10.73%

Bega Cheese’ FY24 result was in line with guidance, with 55% earnings growth for Branded, largely offset by a tough year and a loss for Bulk. Strong operating cashflow was the highlight of the result, Morgans suggests, which saw gearing finish the year towards the lower end of the company’s target range.

FY25 guidance was in line with expectations, with Bulk returning to profitability given materially lower farmgate milk prices, while Branded’s growth will be modest given a big comparable and a weak consumer.

The turnaround at Bega Cheese under a strong management team is well underway, the broker suggests. Near term multiples look full,
however if it delivers on its FY28 targets the stock is worth materially more than the current share price.

Target rises to $4.91 from $4.35, Hold retained.

FORECAST
Morgans forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 10.00 cents and EPS of 19.00 cents.
Morgans forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 12.00 cents and EPS of 24.00 cents.
