Buy

$18.50

UBS holds a constructive view on the upcoming FY25 reporting season for the Australian engineering and construction (E&C) sector, citing resilient earnings growth potential.

The broker forecasts double-digit EPS growth for the sector in FY25 and FY26, outperforming the broader ASX200, which is expected to deliver -2% and 5% respectively.

Earnings growth in the sector is underpinned by favourable long-term drivers, including rising infrastructure investment in Australia. UBS believes this will benefit SGH Ltd and Downer EDI. Growing global energy demand is also expected to support Worley.

For ALS Ltd, UBS expects management will reiterate FY26 guidance at the July 30 AGM and provide an update on geochemistry volumes.

Unchanged Buy rating and $18.50 target.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 43.00 cents and EPS of 70.90 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 46.30 cents and EPS of 76.40 cents.

Underweight

$14.60

-21.04%

ALS Ltd reiterated its FY26 guidance for 5-7% organic revenue growth when providing 1Q26 update at the AGM.

However, management flagged flat EBIT margin trend in 1Q26 for Commodities unit due to the impact of discounting in 2H25, though it also expects this to improve over 2H26.

Jarden highlights downside risk to consensus forecast of $175m for core net profit in 1H26, with its own forecast -5% below at $167m.

Underweight. Target unchanged at $14.60.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 42.20 cents and EPS of 71.40 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 49.00 cents and EPS of 81.60 cents.
