Neutral

$1.25

5.93%

Excluding Domain, Nine Entertainment reported a decline in FY25 earnings (EBITDA) of -11% on the prior year, which was slightly better than Macquarie's forecast by 1% and consensus by 3%.

Sale proceeds from the Domain sale of $1.4bn net of tax are expected on August 27, with a $780m return to shareholders via a 49c special dividend per share with 70c franking credits, and a move to net cash of $88m expected at Dec 31, 2025, which offers investment options.

The analyst expects investment spend will concentrate on core digital assets like Stan, 9Now, and digital publishing but does not exclude M&A.

For FY26, Macquarie forecasts flat earnings and cuts its EPS estimates post the removal of Domain by -39% for FY26 and -35% for FY27.

Neutral rated with a $1.25 target price after the removal of research restrictions.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 5.50 cents and EPS of 8.30 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 7.00 cents and EPS of 10.00 cents.

Overweight

$1.85

56.78%

Jarden assesses Nine Entertainment's FY25 result as strong, with net profit before minorities 9% ahead of the consensus and beating its forecast by 16%.

The company is positive about the underlying momentum but is unsure about the ad market conditions. The broker is forecasting 1% EBITDA growth in 1H26, and -7% y/y decline in FY26 to $316m.

The broker removed Domain from estimates, resulting in a -21% cut to FY26 EPS forecast and a -16% cut to FY27 EPS estimate.

Overweight. Target rises to $1.85 from $1.80.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 5.30 cents and EPS of 7.50 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 6.60 cents and EPS of 9.40 cents.
