Neutral

$14.60

-9.77%

Codan's FY24 result beat across all key line items, Macquarie notes. Earnings grew 29% supported by organic growth and the Eagle & Wave Central acquisitions.

Communications was the standout, the broker suggests, with revenue rising 19% year on year, while Metal Detection revenue grew 25%.

It was a strong result, Macquarie suggests. Codan is building a track record of Communications growth that is driving an ongoing valuation multiple re-rating. Larger M&A is a catalyst given strong discipline on strategic M&A to date.

However, post earnings upgrades the share price is near the broker's valuation. Neutral retained, target rises to $14.60 from $11.15.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 25.00 cents and EPS of 55.60 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 29.70 cents and EPS of 66.00 cents.

$18.15

12.18%

Codan has expanded its Tactical Communications technology suite, observes Moelis, by acquiring US-based SKT2 LLC dba Kagwerks for -$33.6m together with royalty payments for five years post-closing.

Kagwerks, for short, is the global leader in operator-worn networking communications technologies and provides equipment to the US Department of Defence through the Nett Warrior Program.

The Buy rating is maintained. The target price rises to $18.15 from $16.85 after the broker increases FY25-FY27 EPS forecasts by 2.3%, 6.0% and 6.7%, respectively, due to the acquisition.

FORECAST
Moelis forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 27.60 cents and EPS of 55.20 cents.
Moelis forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 34.40 cents and EPS of 68.60 cents.
