9.88%

CAR Group pre-released key FY25 figures along with the announcement of the current CEO's departure, and Morgans notes the FY25 revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and net profit estimates were all in line with its forecasts.

The broker made minor changes to forecasts, largely small downgrades to online advertising revenue that resulted in small downward revisions to FY25-27 EPS forecasts.

The company's current CFO, William Elliott will replace CEO Cameron McIntyre when he leaves on August 15, and the broker highlights the succession highlights quality of management developed internally over recent years.

Accumulate. Target unchanged at $40.80.

FORECAST
Morgans forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 80.00 cents and EPS of 100.00 cents.
Morgans forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 90.00 cents and EPS of 113.00 cents.

Neutral

$34.50

-7.08%

Jarden views the appointment of CAR Group's CFO, William Elliot, as new MD and CEO will result in little change at the company, while acknowledging the departure of current MD and CEO, Cameron McIntyre, as a loss.

The company also issued an FY25 earnings result estimate which was in line with market expectations and pointed to momentum being maintained into FY26.

Jarden expects few surprises in the FY25 earnings report on August 11 but questions whether market expectations are too high for FY26. The analyst is currently forecasting EPS growth of 13% for FY26 versus expected growth of 10% for FY25.

Neutral retained with $34.50 target price.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 80.00 cents and EPS of 100.40 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 91.10 cents and EPS of 113.60 cents.
