Overweight

$30.50

-8.05%

Despite lower global interest rates impacting yields on unhedged balances, Jarden expects growth in client account balances and corporate trust revenue for Computershare will support FY25 margin income guidance at US$745m.

Corporate actions and employee share plan trading activity have benefited from a stronger capital markets environment in the September quarter, with M&A volumes up by 19% year-on-year, explain the analysts.

Additionally, the broker notes Computershare's Global Corporate Trust issuance rose by 85%, driven by robust debt issuance in the US.

The broker forecasts FY25 EPS of US128.6c, reflecting a 9% year-on-year increase. Jarden also highlights Computershare’s cash capacity of over US$2.5bn, providing flexibility for potential acquisitions or share buybacks.

Jarden raises the target price to $30.50 from $30.10, anticipating continued momentum in corporate trust and employee share plan revenues into 2025. Overweight.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 89.30 cents and EPS of 194.17 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 95.50 cents and EPS of 208.06 cents.
