$4.15

28.09%

Yesterday's AGM trading update by Liberty Financial was accompanied by limited management commentary, notes Citi, but was largely consistent with the broker's forecasts, particularly regarding ongoing positive volume momentum during 2024.

The loan portfolio rose by 1% compared to Q4 of FY24 led by higher margin Secured Finance and Financial Services, observe the analysts.

Management noted the net interest margin (NIM) is stabilising, with strong engagement on the funding side supporting an 'improving period' for this metric.

Buy rating. Target $4.15.

FORECAST
Citi forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 30.90 cents and EPS of 45.50 cents.
Citi forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 34.60 cents and EPS of 51.00 cents.

Neutral

$3.75

15.74%

The FY24 result from Liberty Financial missed Jarden's expectations at the net profit line, largely because of a weaker net interest margin. Second half loan losses rose 15%, affected by the continued shift in mix towards higher risk loan books.

While arrears rose substantially, the broker is encouraged the increase was mainly customers seeking repayment variations.

Going forward loan losses are expected to normalise in FY25, amid further growth away from mortgages and likely deterioration in the asset finance book. Neutral retained. Target is reduced to $3.75 from $4.00.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 26.00 cents and EPS of 47.00 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 29.00 cents and EPS of 53.00 cents.
