Buy

$9.80

16.11%

Looking past the "challenging" 1H25 result from Collins Foods, UBS finds reasons to be more optimistic for 2H25.

The analyst notes earnings margins in the first half were at the top end of guidance, which management attributed to achieving "profitable value" and offering innovative solutions to a weak consumer.

Like-for-like sales are expected to benefit from an easier comparison base in 2H25, and cost input inflation or deflation is anticipated in the range of -1% to -2%.

UBS also highlights the growth in digital sales to 35% from 28% a year earlier. The analyst sees potential for EPS growth in FY26 and forecasts a rise 43% year-on-year.

The broker lowers EPS forecasts by -14% and -6% for FY25 and FY26, respectively. The target price decreases to $9.80 from $10.40. Buy rating is maintained.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 22.00 cents and EPS of 37.00 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 29.00 cents and EPS of 54.00 cents.

Overweight

$9.40

11.37%

Jarden notes the global fast foods industry backdrop remains challenged and while some green shoots are emerging, the pace is slow.

The broker believes trends for Collins Foods don't look any worse and some conservatism exists in guidance. The risk/reward is attractive but near-term catalysts are limited.

Jarden has lifted EPS forecasts for Collins Foods by 0.3% to reflect year-end store count and FX assumptions. 

The target price rises to $9.4 from $9.2. The Overweight rating stays. 

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 EPS of 37.80 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 EPS of 55.70 cents.
