Buy

$3.90

5.12%

With Australian Clinical Labs tracking towards the top end of management's unchanged FY25 EBIT guidance of $65-73m, Ord Minnett raises its FY25 revenue growth forecast by 50bps to 6.4%.

The company's AGM trading update highlighted 1H volume growth up to October 23 of 6%. The broker expects improved operating
leverage in FY25 and continues to see upside risk to its 9.7% EBIT margin forecast.

The analysts' target rises to $3.90 from $3.35 helped by a valuation roll-forward and a -70bps reduction in the assumed weighted average cost of capital (WACC) to 9.7%. Buy.

FORECAST
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 12.70 cents and EPS of 19.50 cents.
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 15.00 cents and EPS of 23.10 cents.
