Buy

$30.00

18.11%

A summary of yesterday's research update by Citi follows. Today, the broker decides to leave the $30 target and Buy rating unchanged.

Despite a slightly higher tax rate, Computershare reported FY24 earnings which were marginally above Citi estimates.

Notably, margin income exceeded guidance, some 2% above forecasts and consensus, with a rise in structured debt issuance benefitting both the balance and mix, according to the broker.

An 8% increase in costs arising from inflation and projects was highlighted by Citi, with a cost out program of -US$45m-US$60m by the end of FY26, as the business reconfigures post the sale of US mortgage servicing and the consultant business., KCC.

Computershare's reported US42c final dividend was -US3c below the broker's estimate.

Citi believes this was a challenging result to analyse but the analyst's initial impressions are the positives outweigh the negatives.

FORECAST
Citi forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 131.70 cents and EPS of 189.83 cents.
Citi forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 140.78 cents and EPS of 199.36 cents.
