Synlait Milk’s sale of its North Island assets strengthens the balance sheet and provides an earnings base for FY27, though UBS notes lower ingredient margins have reduced profit expectations.

The broker points to modest FY28 earnings growth as ingredient margins recover but infant formula (IF) volumes fall, given a2 Milk Co's ((A2M)) internalisation of English-label production.

As expected by the analyst, Synlait (July year-end) reported FY25 earnings (EBIT) of NZ$50m, with weaker ingredient and IF margins offset by lower overheads and gains from milk trading.

The NZ$307m North Island sale to US-based Abbott Laboratories is expected to remove short-term losses and is viewed as value-accretive.

UBS raises its target price to NZ79c from NZ58c and retains a Sell rating.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 0.91 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 2.73 cents and EPS of 5.46 cents.

Synlait Milk reported underlying FY25 earnings (EBITDA)  of NZ$107m, above Jarden’s NZ$98m estimate, on strong lactoferrin sales and a solid Dairyworks contribution.

The business reported a net loss of -NZ$40m and net debt of NZ$251m, with an additional receivable assignment inflating the variance, explains the broker.

The broker highlights the agreed US$178m sale of North Island assets to US-based Abbott Laboratories, with Chinese dairy company Bright Dairy & Food Co signalling shareholder support, though completion awaits regulatory approval.

Proceeds are expected to repay debt and refocus operations in the Canterbury region of New Zealand’s South Island, explain the analysts, ahead of a2 Milk Co ((ATM)) English Label volume losses in FY27.

Jarden reduces its target price to NZ60c from NZ64c and retains an Underweight rating.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 4.19 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of minus -3.46 cents.
