Buy

$6.30

37.86%

IPH Ltd delivered a softer second half of FY25, with earnings (EBITDA) coming in -3% shy of the UBS forecast and like-for-like revenue down in A&NZ and Asia  by -2% and -1%, respectively.

The broker's expectations of an Asian rebound and cost-out benefits disappointed, though guidance for savings of $8-10m in FY26 partly offset weaker revenues. The broker's profit forecasts are cut by between -4-7%, but buybacks limit the EPS impact.

In A&NZ, filing volumes fell -10% against market growth of 1%, with UBS noting weaker US PCT filings as a lead indicator. In Asia, strong filing growth has yet to flow into examination and renewal revenue, with the broker forecasting just 2% growth in FY26.

UBS lowers its target to $6.30 from $6.75 on reduced free cash flow forecasts but maintains a Buy rating, citing the -20% share price reaction to FY25 results.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 37.00 cents and EPS of 48.00 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY27 EPS of 50.00 cents.

Downgrade to Hold from Buy

$4.95

8.32%

Canaccord Genuity notes IPH Ltd's FY25 underlying group EBITDA was in line with its forecast but a modest miss to consensus. Full-year dividend met expectations.

However, the outlook is not so positive with ongoing Australia/NZ patent filing share decline falling below 30% in FY25 and US filings remain weak.

The broker reckons competitive pressures are rising across Australia/NZ and Asia. FY26 EBITDA estimates trimmed by -5% to $216.9m and EPS forecast lowered by -6%.

Rating downgraded to Hold from Buy. Target trimmed to $4.95 from $5.75.

FORECAST
Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 37.00 cents and EPS of 48.00 cents.
Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 40.00 cents and EPS of 48.00 cents.
