Hold

$24.00

-18.14%

Eagers Automotive's interim underlying operating profit before tax of $197.7m was 4% ahead of Bell Potter’s forecast, driven by revenue of $6.5bn versus the broker’s $6bn estimate.

Margins of 3.04% were softer than the broker’s 3.18% expectation. Positively, operating cash flow (OCF) was strong at $507m, up 82% year-on-year, reducing net corporate debt to $474m from $813m in December, explain the analysts.

An interim dividend of 24c fully franked was declared, in line with Bell Potter's forecast.

Management highlighted on the earnings call the 2025 revenue uplift should be around $1.8bn versus the earlier $1bn expectation.

The broker feels margins have bottomed in the first half and should improve in the second half and beyond as industry conditions strengthen and productivity gains flow through.

The broker upgrades its 2025, 2026 and 2027 profit forecasts by 5%, 10% and 14%, respectively, on both higher revenue and stronger margin assumptions. The target price is raised to $24.00 from $17.50. Bell Potter retains a Hold rating.

FORECAST
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 74.00 cents and EPS of 100.20 cents.
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 76.00 cents and EPS of 115.30 cents.

Market Weight

$24.72

-15.69%

The key positive in Eagers Automotive's 1H25 result, in Wilsons' view, was stronger-than-expected sales of $6.5bn which beat its forecast by 8%.

Profit before tax, however, was only slightly ahead of the broker's estimate due to lower margins. Operating cash flow was strong.

The company expects FY25 revenue to exceed expectations and to reap benefits from the integration of large-scale acquisitions and greenfield maturation.

The broker also expects revenue to outperform from market share gains, better OEM mix and supportive industry tailwinds.

FY25 sales forecast lifted by 8%, but a lower gross profit margin means gross profit is expected to rise only 2%. For FY26-27, sales are forecast to rise 10-12% and gross profit by 6-8% as the margin improves.

Market Weight. Target price $24.72 (was $19.57 on August 6)

FORECAST
Wilsons forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 74.00 cents and EPS of 104.00 cents.
Wilsons forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 84.50 cents and EPS of 123.50 cents.
