12.50%

Seven West Media reported a -26% decline in 1H25 EBITDA to $92m but this was within consensus expectations, Macquarie notes. Recent trading commentary of positive 3Q25 bookings showed optimism and a return to growth in 2H25.

FY25 guidance suggests at least $155m EBITDA which compares to the broker's forecast of $158m.

The broker expects the federal election in April or May to be an industry tailwind and notes the sports product on 7plus has contributed to an increase in audience numbers for other content.

After considering the 1H FY25 result, and with a change of analyst and new modeling, Macquarie has raised FY25 EPS forecast by 20% and FY26 by 27%.

Target price rises to 18c from 14c. Neutral rating maintained.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 3.60 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 3.90 cents.

-18.75%

Goldman Sachs points to a weaker-than-expected 1H25 net profit after tax for Seven West Media, but management noted some green shoots at the start of 2H25.

Bookings are trending up at a low single-digit rate for the start of 3Q25, with management anticipating slight earnings growth over the second half, post the loss of high single-digit earnings from Meta, the analyst explains.

The Federal election and Sports BVOD are highlighted as two positives for the current fiscal year. Management retained cost guidance, including flat costs for FY26.

The broker lifts earnings estimates by 14%, from 11% growth for FY25, on higher revenues and a better advertising outlook.

The target price rises to 13c, up 8%. No change to the Sell rating.

FORECAST
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 4.00 cents.
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 4.00 cents.
