Underweight

$272.00

(23/06/2025)

-10.16%

Cochlear has downgraded FY25 profit guidance to $390-400m from $410-430m, implying to Morgan Stanley negative half-on-half and year-on-year growth in 2H25.

The downgrade is due to weaker-than-expected processor upgrades, slowing cochlear implant unit sales in developed markets, and market share losses, explains the broker.

More positively, the analyst highlights Cochlear has launched its new Nexa system, including the Nucleus 8 Nexa processor and Kanso 3, with features such as upgradeable firmware and internal memory.

Morgan Stanley remains cautious, seeking further clarity on the impact of slowing unit sales and upcoming reimbursement changes in FY26. An Underweight rating and a $267 target price are maintained. Industry View: In-Line.

FORECAST
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 422.00 cents and EPS of 603.00 cents.
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 467.00 cents and EPS of 667.00 cents.

Downgrade to Market Weight from Overweight

$280.00

-7.52%

Cochlear missed 1H services sales by -14% despite Wilsons' forecasts already factoring in weaker services growth for FY25.

The broker reckons two consecutive services misses suggests the market may have misjudged growth following the first spectacular 18 months of the N8 processor product cycle.

The company's 1H25 net profit and revenue missed also Wilsons' forecast, by -3%. Management reiterated FY25 underlying net profit guidance but with expectations to the low end of guidance, which signals a miss to Wilsons' forecast.

The broker cut FY25-26 EPS forecast by -2%. Target price lowered to $280 and rating downgraded to Market Weight from Overweight.

FORECAST
Wilsons forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 433.40 cents and EPS of 625.40 cents.
Wilsons forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 485.60 cents and EPS of 693.40 cents.
