Overweight

$37.65

17.36%

Morgan Stanley believes AUB Group reported FY24 earnings in line with forecasts and consensus with a 59c dividend, some 4% better than expected.

Internationally, management is trying to reproduce the A&NZ strategy with recent UK acquisitions. The Tysers synergies are coming in ahead of expectations.

Management's FY25 guidance sits some -7% below the broker's forecasts and -4% below consensus. Accordingly, EPS forecasts are tweaked by -0.5% and -3.3% for FY25/FY26, respectively.

AUB Group is the preferred insurance broker stock for Morgan Stanley, with an expected 9% EPS growth rate p.a. between FY24-FY27, trading on attractive valuation.

Morgan Stanley retains an Overweight rating. Target price $37.65. Industry view is In-Line.

FORECAST
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 97.00 cents and EPS of 172.00 cents.
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 105.00 cents and EPS of 189.00 cents.

Overweight

$33.75

5.21%

AUB Group reported FY24 earnings in line with Jarden.

While AUB's FY25 underlying profit guidance is -5-7% below forecast, Jarden notes the company has a record of setting initial profit guidance conservatively, often upgrading multiple times through the financial year.

Over FY20-FY24, AUB's FY results beat initial guidance by an average of 9%. FY25 guidance includes organic growth of 7-10%, which appears conservative in the broker's view, given continued commercial rate momentum, minor volume growth and margin expansion.

Target rises to $33.75 from $33.20, Overweight retained.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 93.00 cents and EPS of 172.00 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 106.00 cents and EPS of 194.00 cents.
