$330.75

Morgans highlights, as is normally the case, CSL's R&D had no commercially relevant updates.

The broker noted garadacimab's potential US approval has been kicked back by at least six months. Morgans stresses this is one of only a "handful of setbacks". 

CSL has launched 21 programs as part of a broad clinical pipeline cutting across major therapeutic areas and platform technologies. Plasma programs to advance yield remain important.

The broker points to further approvals from EU for hemophilia B gene therapy and other approvals for garadacimab, an mRNA covid vaccine, and cell-based influenza vaccine for over 50-year-olds.

Morgans states Behring continues to be the major earnings driver with cost management and unrealised demand across all divisions.

No changes are made to earnings forecasts. Add rated with a $330.75 target price.

FORECAST
Morgans forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 455.37 cents and EPS of 1031.36 cents.
Morgans forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 493.06 cents and EPS of 1209.29 cents.

Wilsons notes Garadacimab is up for approval at the end of September, so the analyst revisits the earnings model and outlook for CSL's hereditary angioedema franchise.

The broker assesses Garadacimab's safety, efficacy and dosing has advantages over Takhzyro which has the potential to generate market share gains for CSL.

Some US$600m in sales are forecast for Garadacimab in the fifth year which are included in Wilsons discounted cashflow model.

No change to Market Weight rating and $291.78 target price.

FORECAST
Wilsons forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 432.75 cents and EPS of 991.25 cents.
Wilsons forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 486.28 cents and EPS of 1111.58 cents.
