Macquarie

Neutral

$14.60

-14.62%

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.

Buy

$16.76

-1.99%

Bolstering the Tactical Communications division and providing a 4% increase to Canaccord Genuity's FY26 forecast, Codan will purchase Kagwerks (SKT2 LLC dba Kagwerks) for -$33.6m.

Kagwerks is a US-based provider of tactical operator-worn networking communications technologies used in a military environment. The broker anticipates Kagwerk' DOCK platform will benefit from the greater scale, distribution and access to a larger addressable market.

The Buy rating is maintained. The target rises to $16.76 from $15.34. Codan is now a high margin earnings compounder, according to the broker, and return metrics are rapidly improving.

FORECAST
Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 26.00 cents and EPS of 54.00 cents.
Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 31.00 cents and EPS of 66.00 cents.
