Hold

$36.70

-4.13%

Codan's 1H26 trading update flagged strong outperformance, with revenue of $394m, up 29% y/y and underlying net profit of at least $70m, up 52% y/y. Both were well ahead of consensus, Bell Potter notes.

The results were driven by surging Metal Detection sales, particularly in Africa and other global recreational markets, alongside solid Communications growth, including a full-period Kagwerks contribution.

The broker lifted FY26 EPS forecast by 12% and FY27 by 10%. Target rises to $36.70 from $27.80 on a higher EV/EBIT multiple in the valuation due to improving sentiment in the defence sector and a stronger outlook for Metal Detection.

Hold remains.

FORECAST
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 40.30 cents and EPS of 80.60 cents.
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 46.00 cents and EPS of 92.00 cents.

$42.31

10.53%

Codan's trading update highlighted strong momentum, Moelis notes, with 1H26 group revenue expected to be up 29% y/y and net profit is seen 52% higher, outperforming expectations.

This is driven by standout performance in metal detection, particularly gold detectors in Africa, commentary adds.

The elevated gold price, favourable margin mix and a pipeline of new, higher-technology products underpin the broker's confidence in FY26-27 earnings growth. 

Communications is tracking in line, with upside from order book growth, Kagwerks delivery into the US DoD Nett Warrior program and potential accretive M&A.

FY26 EPS forecast increased by 13.1% and FY27 by 6.3%. Buy retained, and target rises to $42.31 from $39.68 (was $30.05 in late-August).

FORECAST
Moelis forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 41.20 cents and EPS of 82.20 cents.
Moelis forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 49.60 cents and EPS of 99.00 cents.
