Outperform

$25.45

12.96%

BlueScope Steel delivered FY25 results with second-half outcomes at the top end of guidance, though the FY26 outlook was weaker than Macquarie expected.

Cost savings remain a highlight for the broker, with -$130m realised in FY25 and a -$200m target for FY26, while the balance sheet is solid.

The analyst notes strength at North Star from spread expansion and improving US demand, while in Australia Colorbond volumes rose 5% year-on-year and domestic despatches were up 8%.

A -$439m impairment in US coated capacity was a negative, while 1H FY26 earnings (EBIT) guidance of $550-620m came in below the broker’s forecasts.

Macquarie cuts its FY26-28 EPS forecasts by -32%, -25% and -15%, respectively, reflecting delayed Australian Steel Products cost-out benefits and softer US price realisation.

Macquarie lowers its target price to $25.45 from $29.05 and retains an Outperform rating.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 60.00 cents and EPS of 174.10 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 60.00 cents and EPS of 208.50 cents.

$24.50

BlueScope Steel reported 2H25 earnings (EBIT) of $429m, at the top of guidance but Jarden was slightly underwhelmed due to weak New Zealand, Australian and US coated products.

Cost reductions, North Star and Asia helped, observe the analysts, though return on invested capital (ROIC) of 6.2% was below the cost of capital.

The broker highlights a -US$280m (-$439m in Australian dollars) impairment in US coated products, halving expected sustainable EBIT to around US$35m.

Despite global uncertainty and higher energy costs, Jarden sees FY26 earnings momentum from cost-outs and resilient US spreads.

The broker cuts its target price to $24.50 from $25.00 and keeps a Neutral rating.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 60.00 cents and EPS of 168.90 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 60.00 cents and EPS of 193.70 cents.
