An additional news report on the recommendation, valuation, forecast and opinion changes for ASX-listed equities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to The Australian Broker Call Report, which is published and updated daily (Mon-Fri), FNArena has now added The Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition, featuring additional sources of research and insights on ASX-listed stocks, also enlarging the number of stocks that make up the FNArena universe.<\/p>\n

One key difference is the *Extra* Edition will not be updated daily, but merely "regularly" depending on availability of suitable quality content. As such, the *Extra* Edition tries to build a bridge between daily updates via the Australian Broker Call Report and ad hoc news stories, that are not always timely for investors hungry for the next information update.<\/p>\n

Investors using the *Extra* Edition as a source of input for their own share market research should thus take into account that information after publication may not be up to date, or yet awaiting another update by FNArena's team of journalists.<\/p>\n

Similar to The Australian Broker Call Report, this *Extra* Edition includes concise but limited reviews of research recently published by Stockbrokers and other experts, which should be considered as information concerning likely market behaviour rather than advice on the securities mentioned. Do not act on the contents of this Report without first reading the important information included at the end of this Report.<\/p>\n

The Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition is a summary that has been prepared independently of the sources identified. Readers will check the full text of the recommendations and consult a Licenced Advisor before making any investment decision.<\/p>\n

The copyright of this Report is owned by the publisher. Readers will not copy, forward or disseminate this Report to any other person. For more vital information about the sources included, see the bottom of this Report.<\/p>\n

Aluminium, Bauxite & Alumina – Overnight Price: $0.63 <\/strong><\/p>\n
Bell Potter rates ((A4N)) as Buy (1) –<\/p>\n
Alpha HPA has won a $45m grant for the HPA First Project under the Commonwealth Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources' modern manufacturing initiative.<\/p>\n
Bell Potter reports the grant is split: 90% towards Alpha HPA, and 10% towards chemical partner Orica ((ORI)).<\/p>\n
The broker says the grant provides further due diligence to support the project and could provide a significant proportion of the HPA First Project's estimated $308m equity requirement, and expects a group of government and commercial lenders will fund 65% or $200m of the balance.<\/p>\n
Bell Potter notes the company's HPA and aluminium precursor products can be used in the lithium ion battery, micro-LED and semiconductor manufacturing industries – all at the heart of the decarbonisation and onshoring themes.<\/p>\n

Alcidion Group has announced a new $1.9m five-year contract with NHS Tayside to implement its Miya Observations software. Canaccord Genuity notes a front-loaded contract payment scheme will allow for capital to support roll out. <\/p>\n
While the broker expects further contract announcements ahead of the financial year end it notes this agreement expands presence to 39 NHS sites, bringing contracted revenue for FY22 to $28m and leaving $4-5m required to meet the broker's revenue forecast. <\/p>\n
Positively, the broker suggested funding initiatives centered on patient flow and optimising efficiency of care may be motivation for further sites to adopt technology. <\/p>\n

Household & Personal Products – Overnight Price: $28.60 <\/strong><\/p>\n
Wilsons rates ((BRG)) as Market Weight (3) –<\/p>\n
While updates from Breville Group's competitors on fourth quarter performance were largely positive, Wilsons noted a softer competitive landscape was emerging as the industry offsets margin-impacting cost inflation with price increases. <\/p>\n
Post result market reaction also surprised the broker, with share prices for the eight companies slipping an average of -2.7% in the five days following the release despite six of eight competitors reported positive like-for-like growth. <\/p>\n
Breville Group reaffirmed full year earnings guidance of $156m. The Market Weight rating and target price of $30.00 are retained. <\/p>\n

Mining Sector Contracting – Overnight Price: $1.03 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Bell Potter says DDH1 enjoys leverage to several tailwinds which point to stronger 2022 earnings, including Australian exploration data; key commodity pricing; and Australia junior exploration capital raising data.<\/p>\n
ABS exploration expenditure data is at all-time highs, suggesting further expenditure and increases in drill rates, says the broker; and $A capital raising data and commodities remain 28.2% above the peak of the last cycle.<\/p>\n
With these trends set to continue for another year, in the broker's view, Bell Potter expects strong 2022 earnings and believes the normalisation of borders also suggest operational upside.<\/p>\n

Bell Potter rates ((DOC)) as Buy (1) –<\/p>\n
Having exceeded its revenue guidance for the year, Bell Potter expects Doctor Care Anywhere can reach profitability in the second half of FY23. The broker says the company demonstrated confidence in its new model, guiding to more than 40% revenue growth in FY22. <\/p>\n
Contract renegotiation with AXA PPP Healthcare Group has allowed the company to offer virtual consultations with an Advanced Nurse Practitioner and improve pricing for GP consultations. The broker notes changes should increase consultation capacity. <\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs rates ((HDN)) as Buy (1) –<\/p>\n
Goldman Sachs reinstates coverage of HomeCo Daily Needs REIT with a Buy rating and target price of $1.70. The REIT is considered undervalued, given the diversified tenant base and positioning to benefit from the shift to omni-channel retailing.<\/p>\n
The secular trend toward ‘last-mile fulfillment offerings should also play to the REIT's strength, according to the analyst, as the tenant's location allows omni-channel sales with store fulfillment.<\/p>\n
The broker points out tenants like the relatively lower rentals, compared to other retail sub-sectors.<\/p>\n

The broker likes HomeCo's proven delivery on a capital light strategy and potential for future growth. The company continues to target AUM exceeding $10bn by 2024 through growth in listed vehicles and target sector investment supported by liquidity of more than $400m. <\/p>\n

Highlighting top-line momentum across all segments and geographies, the broker noted the corporate segment is now the company's biggest revenue contributor at more than 50% and expects this will further increase following the Firma settlement.<\/p>\n

While Wilsons sees attractive upside from Pinnacle Investment Management's multi-affiliate strategy in the medium-term, the recent market volatility and underperformance from some affiliates may impact the 2H.<\/p>\n
The broker lowers its target price to $15 from $16 after forecasting 2H gross performance fees of $19.8m versus $23.8m previously.<\/p>\n

Jarden reaffirms substantial market share is ResMed's for the taking, but more reliable access to chips is key to supplying CPAP demand. Supply constraints are tough to get a read on according to the broker, but indicators suggest supply issues easing into the third quarter.<\/p>\n
The Russia-Ukraine conflict could hamper global semiconductor chip supply, with manufacturing relying on neon gas of which Ukraine is a large exporter. Despite this, the market forecasts 29% device growth in the third quarter and 18.2% device growth in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

SHA<\/a>    SHAPE AUSTRALIA CORPORATION LIMITED<\/h2>\n
Overnight Price: $2.15 <\/strong><\/p>\n
Moelis rates ((SHA)) as Initiation of coverage with Buy (1) –<\/p>\n
Moelis initiates coverage on commercial fit-out specialist Shape Australia. Exposure to non-residential construction should benefit strong earnings growth moving forwards, according to Moelis which expects a rebound in the segment post-covid.<\/p>\n
Strategic expansion into Defence and Health and Aged Care should provide additional revenue streams, with elevated government spend likely to benefit, while a capital expenditure light model drives free cash flow generation from FY23 according to the broker. <\/p>\n
Moelis predicts an earnings compound annual growth rate of 63% through to FY24, and an earnings per share compound annual growth rate of 81% over the same period. <\/p>\n
The broker initiates coverage with a Buy rating and a target price of $2.49. <\/p>\n

In a closer look at Strandline Resources' Coburn project, Shaw and Partners notes at 63% completion first production remains on track and budget for the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
The broker noted avoidance of cost impacts and delays plaguing other WA projects is testament to management experience. <\/p>\n
Shaw highlighted initial production is likely to be delivered into a high pricing environment, with spot pricing for zircon and rutile materially higher than previously assumed.<\/p>\n
Earnings forecasts increase to $128m and $215m in FY3 and FY24, from $102m and $167m. Strandline Resources remains the broker's top emerging resource pick. The Buy rating and target price of $0.71 are retained.<\/p>\n

The only material project to date is a stated target for cutting costs to $8bn by FY24, says the broker. <\/p>\n
Hold rating retained but Bell Potter raises the target price to $25 from $24 to reflect positive cash flow movements.<\/p>\n
