Hold

$5.75

-0.35%

Bell Potter maintains its Hold recommendation for Lifestyle Communities with its target price increased to $5.75 from $5.70 following an FY26 financial result featuring reported net profit after tax of $25.4m.

Settlements declined 10% year-on-year to 240, reflecting weaker sales and prompting management to clear 55% of unsold inventory via targeted pricing to reduce gearing to 22.8%, though this resulted in a margin decline of 270bps to 10.4%.

Post-result release, the Supreme Court of Victoria upheld Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal orders dismissing the company's appeal on an unfavourable deferred management fee decision, leaving Lifestyle Communities carrying a $78m provision it considers sufficient for potential resident compensation claims.

No earnings, distribution, or settlement guidance has been provided for FY27.

The analyst notes that while inventory clearance has improved the balance sheet, challenged Victorian market conditions and discounted pricing strategies present headwinds to underlying community satisfaction and resident confidence.

FORECAST
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 2.50 cents and EPS of 21.60 cents.
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY28 dividend of 5.00 cents and EPS of 26.80 cents.

Buy

$6.05

4.85%

Canaccord Genuity maintains its Buy recommendation for Lifestyle Communities with its target price increased to $6.05 from $5.80 following an FY26 financial result featuring profit before tax excluding unrealised items of $27.3m.

Earnings were impacted by lower new home settlements of 240 homes, reduced deferred management fee revenue, and a greater proportion of interest costs being expensed in relation to a non-active land bank.

Operational initiatives successfully reduced established inventory by 55% and supported a $186.8m reduction in net debt to $273.7m alongside an improved loan-to-value ratio of 28.7%.

The broker concludes that lower established inventory and targeted cost reduction programs position the business favourably for a longer-term demand uplift.
