Bell Potter	21/08/2025	1	Buy	$2.50	33.69%	Southern Cross Electrical Engineering's FY25 result showed revenue of $802m, up 45% year-on-year and ahead of Bell Potter’s $773m estimate and consensus at $782m. Earnings (EBITDA) of $54.8m were in line with the broker's forecast, while profit of $31.7m was just below expectations but still up 45%. Gross margin fell to 13.2% from 15% due to project mix and legal costs, explain the analysts, though it recovered to 13.7% in the second half. A final dividend of 5c brought the full-year payout to 7.5c, slightly under the broker’s 8c forecast. FY26 earnings guidance of $65-68m, or 21% growth at the midpoint, is supported by a $685m order book weighted to Infrastructure, assess the analysts. Management is actively tendering for battery and wind projects and expects further contract awards soon. Bell Potter retains a Buy rating and a $2.50 target price. FORECAST Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 9.00 cents and EPS of 14.80 cents. Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 10.00 cents and EPS of 16.30 cents.
