Downgrade to Hold from Buy

$0.52

-3.70%

Bell Potter downgrades Paragon Care to Hold from Buy following the company's AGM update based on the stock's valuation.

The broker observes year-to-date revenue growth of 15.5% in FY25, with pharmacy revenue growth of 19.1% and complementary medicines up 17%. Service and surgical specialties experienced a decline in revenue.

Management provided "run rates" for the divisions, which the analyst views as guidance indications, although not explicitly stated as such. The run rates suggest revenue growth for Paragon of 8% in FY25, with gross margin slipping -60bps to 8.9%.

Cost-out guidance was retained at $5m in FY25 and $12m in FY26.

Bell Potter lowers the EPS forecast for FY25 by -2% and raises the FY26 EPS forecast by 1.3%. No change to the 52c target price.

FORECAST
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 2.40 cents.
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 2.50 cents.
