Neutral

$270.00

14.32%

REA Group's 1H25 result showing 26% rise year on year in net profit to $314m met expectations, Macquarie highlights, with 21% year-on-year revenue growth slightly ahead of the analyst's 19% estimate.

The broker raised FY25 net profit forecast to $584m from $570m before on expectations of an 18% rise in residential revenue growth and listings growth of 2%.

The broker reckons CEO Owen Wilson's retirement announcement will not have an operational impact but it does bring into debate the M&A strategy, noting the recent attempt to acquire Rightmove in the UK.

Target price rises to $270 from $265 and rating remains at Neutral.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 243.00 cents and EPS of 442.00 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 290.00 cents and EPS of 528.00 cents.

Underweight

$210.00

-11.08%

Jarden describes REA Group's 1H25 result as strong, noting the higher FY25 cost guidance reflects higher revenue expectations.

The broker increased FY25 operating cost growth assumption to 12.1% from 9.8%, and raised revenue forecast by 1.6% to $1.689bn. 

The key risk to the 2H25 outlook is residential listing volumes, with uncertainty in Q4 given a combination of Easter and ANZAC Day's timing, and the prospect of a federal election.

The broker noted surprise with CEO Owen Wilson's retirement announcement but added REA is a high-quality business with a strong management team that can continue to deliver on the market's expectations 

The broker upgraded FY25-FY26 EPS estimates by 3% and 4% respectively. Underweight rating retained and target price is $210.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 238.60 cents and EPS of 439.00 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 277.70 cents and EPS of 511.10 cents.
