Buy

$33.80

36.18%

UBS views Seek ((SEK)) as the most exposed company to rising macro uncertainty and higher inflation after incorporating the broker's Economics and Strategy view of "stagflation light" for Australian online classifieds.

The analyst considers Seek to have more cyclical sensitivity and exposure relative to Car Group and REA Group (REA). Despite the uncertain macro backdrop, a Buy rating is retained on all three stocks.

The target price is cut by -15% to $33.80 from $39.90 largely due to a rise in the risk free rate to 4.5% from 4%.

EPS forecasts are lowered by -1% for FY26 and -3% for FY27.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 84.00 cents and EPS of 105.00 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 90.00 cents and EPS of 112.00 cents.

$29.50

18.86%

Jarden retains an Overweight rating for CAR Group with a $29.50 target price following a monthly online classifieds industry update.

Australian new car sales accelerated in April, growing 11.3% compared to a 4.6% increase in March.

International markets displayed mixed momentum, with Brazilian new car sales surging 23% year-on-year while United States light and heavy truck sales contracted.

The broker highlights the company trades on an estimated FY26 price-to-earnings multiple of 23.8x, supported by an 11% two-year earnings per share compound annual growth rate to FY28.
