IPH delivered a "solid" result with the top line better than expected, UBS asserts. Australasia and Canada were "surprisingly strong". Asian growth expectations have been pushed out and IPH Way cost cutting benefits are to be spread across FY25 and FY26.

The net impact is a reduction in the broker's EBITDA forecast by -3%. UBS is encouraged by the improvement in top-line momentum and retains a Buy rating. Target is $8.

IPH will acquire Canadian IP firm Bereskin & Parr for -$90m, taking its total Canadian share to almost 35%.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY25 EPS of 46.00 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 EPS of 49.00 cents.

Petra Capital reviews patent filings for the June half and finds IPH Ltd is falling behind market, the company posting relatively weak filings in the month of June vs the previous June.

The broker observes IPH has retained market share of 32% on a full-year view.

All up, Petra Capital determines while the company's Australian filings eased year-on-year, it suspects the inclusion of transferred cases could see the balance shift to the black.

Buy rating retained. Target price falls to $8.20 from $10.50.

FORECAST
Petra Capital forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 35.90 cents and EPS of 47.40 cents.
