Outperform

$17.30

-1.93%

ALS Ltd's trading update points to underlying net profit after tax between $310–$313m, which is above Macquarie's forecast by 0.6% at the mid-point, the same as consensus.

The analyst notes the update suggests a recovery in Minerals sample flows with a rise in 2H25 volumes of 5% on the previous year and marking a turning point from 1H25 when volumes slipped by -0.5%.

Macquarie views the high gold price as supportive of the minerals business but flags risks to sustained mineral flows from uncertainty on tariffs and the macro economy.

In previous downturns, the company has shown "resilience." Life Sciences, Enviro segment continues to generate the highest share of revenue and earnings, with growth in the former of 10% in FY25 expected.

The analyst tweaks EPS estimates, rising by 1% and 3% for FY25/FY26. Target price lifts to $17.30 from $16.25 with an Outperform rating retained.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 38.80 cents and EPS of 64.70 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 46.00 cents and EPS of 76.70 cents.
