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

Wilsons upgrades outer year forecasts for AMA Group to account for recent acquisitions.<\/p>\n

On top of core acquisitions, AMA is reported to have bought roughly seven heavy vehicle panel shops, suggesting its entry into the Truck market.<\/p>\n

Should the company be successful in its bid for Suncorp's Capital SMART business, Wilson estimates the deal will be 5% to 32% accretive. <\/p>\n

Margin pressure continues as more complex vehicles enter the market and will require negotiations with insurers to return to balance.<\/p>\n

CCX<\/a>    CITY CHIC COLLECTIVE LTD<\/h2>\n

Apparel & Footwear – Overnight Price: $1.79 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Bell Potter rates ((CCX)) as Initiation of coverage with Buy (1) –<\/p>\n

Bell Potter has initiated coverage of women's plus-size, accessories and footwear multi-channel retailer and brand City Chic Collective with a Buy rating.<\/p>\n

City Chic has 107 stores in Australia and New Zealand, a high-margin high-growth online business which represents 40% of sales and wholesale relationships with major retailers. <\/p>\n

The broker notes the stock is showing strength and growing brand recognition in northern hemisphere markets, having penetrated through Macy's and Nordstrom, and onliners, Amazon, Gwynnie Bee and Stitch Fix.<\/p>\n

The United States market now represents about 16% of sales and offers considerable potential given the market is roughly 35 times larger than the Australia and New Zealand market. The company is also branching into Europe.<\/p>\n

Bell Potter notes the plus-size women's apparel market is significantly underserved, and likes the long-standing management team and strong balance sheet. Target price $2.15.<\/p>\n

CXL<\/a>    CALIX LIMITED<\/h2>\n

Overnight Price: $0.68 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Shaw and Partners rates ((CXL)) as Buy (1) –<\/p>\n

Shaw has issued a Buy, High Risk, rating recommendation for Calix on the news that the company's LEILAC project partner HeidelbergCement Group has received validation of its carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction targets from the Science Based Targets initiative, a collaboration between the UN Global Compact, CDP, World Resources Institute and World Wide Fund for Nature. <\/p>\n

HeidelbergCement is helping LEILAC develop its CO2 sequestration technology. The approval makes HeidelbergCement the first company in the cement sector, and one of only about 200 companies globally, to receive such validation. The implications of this have yet to be seen.<\/p>\n

Calix has provided some of the technology underpinning the validation and upon which HeidelbergCement will rely for further sequestration gains on its journey towards creating carbon-neutral concrete (at present its carbon reduction only sits at -20%). The separation of CO2 from the limestone in cement will be a key achievement.<\/p>\n

The LEILAC project is in the test-phase now and data are expected in July.  Shaw notes otherwise, Calix product progress has been strong and the company has several promising projects in cement, aquaculture and new materials production. Target price is 90c.<\/p>\n

This report was published on June 18, 2019.<\/p>\n

Target price is $90.00<\/strong> Current Price is $0.68 <\/strong> Difference: $89.32<\/strong>

D2O<\/a>    DUXTON WATER LIMITED<\/h2>\n

Overnight Price: $0.00 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Bell Potter rates ((D2O)) as Initiation of coverage with Hold (3) –<\/p>\n

Bell Potter has initiated coverage on Duxton Water with a Hold recommendation. <\/p>\n

Duxton holds a portfolio of water of 71,696 megalitres with a 75% bias to high-security assets. primarily in the southern Murray Darling Basin, which it leases.<\/p>\n

The broker says water entitlement prices have demonstrated compound annual growth of 6% to 7% a year and the average cash return on high-security assets in the area is 5.4%.<\/p>\n

While the broker likes the long-term profile, the short-term variability of water inflows will likely result in a period of price consolidation.<\/p>\n

Hence the Hold rating. Target price is $1.50.<\/p>\n

This report was issued on June 19, 2019.<\/p>\n

Target price is $1.50<\/strong>
\nThe company's fiscal year ends in December.<\/p>\n

EHL<\/a>    EMECO HOLDINGS LTD<\/h2>\n

Mining Sector Contracting – Overnight Price: $2.19 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Bell Potter rates ((EHL)) as Initiation of coverage with Buy (1) –<\/p>\n

Bell Potter initiates coverage of Emeco Holdings with a Buy rating, believing the company's five-year transformation is starting to pay off.<\/p>\n

Bell Potter notes stronger mining production, capital expenditure and exploration have boosted demand, which, combined with a tight equipment market and expansion in the company's rental fleet, should underpin the stock.<\/p>\n

Add to that an improved balance sheet, lower interest rates and higher earnings per share, and the company should be in a good position to refinance senior debt in FY20.<\/p>\n

The broker notes the relatively young fleet, accelerated capital expenditure and carry-forward tax losses promise to sharply increase free cash flow from $65.6m in FY19 to $106.8m in FY20. Target price is set at $2.63.<\/p>\n

This report was published on June 18, 2019.<\/p>\n

Target price is $2.63<\/strong> Current Price is $2.19 <\/strong> Difference: $0.44<\/strong>

GUD<\/a>    G.U.D. HOLDINGS LIMITED<\/h2>\n

Household & Personal Products – Overnight Price: $10.33 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Wilsons rates ((GUD)) as Hold (3) –<\/p>\n

GUD Holding's first-half FY19 result disappointed the broker and Wilsons spies no reprieve in the second-half.<\/p>\n

Wilsons believes the setback is temporary but says signs of intense competition warrant caution.<\/p>\n

The broker expects trading conditions will deteriorate and that GUD's history of increasing prices regularly will be stymied by a more competitive environment as new entrants step up.<\/p>\n

Earnings-per-share estimates fall -3% to -6% over the forecast period to reflect lower expected sales growth and tighter Auto margins.<\/p>\n

Target price eases to $10.75 a share and Hold rating retained, albeit with a positive bias.<\/p>\n

This report was published on June 11, 2019.<\/p>\n

Target price is $10.75<\/strong> Current Price is $10.33 <\/strong> Difference: $0.42<\/strong>

JLG<\/a>    JOHNS LYNG GROUP LIMITED<\/h2>\n

Overnight Price: $1.47 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs rates ((JLG)) as Initiation of coverage with Buy (1) –<\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs has initiated coverage of Johns Lyng Group with a Buy rating and maiden price target of $1.70. The broker argues the integrated building services group offers defensive growth at still a reasonable share price valuation.<\/p>\n

Acting as project manager, the broker finds JLG has a capital-light business model, managing over 5,500 sub-contractors, and generates strong returns and cash flows. Also, the analysts note in the face of more regular extreme weather events in highly populated areas, revenues from catastrophic events may be lumpy but they also represent steady growth.<\/p>\n

Acquisitions remain par for the course. Goldman Sachs believes the shares deserve to trade on a premium versus both domestic and international peers.<\/p>\n

MAH<\/a>    MACMAHON HOLDINGS LIMITED<\/h2>\n

Mining Sector Contracting – Overnight Price: $0.22 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Moelis rates ((MAH)) as Buy (1) –<\/p>\n

Moelis Australia reiterates its Buy rating for MacMahon Holdings, after news the company will buy underground mining contractor GBF on a consideration of cash and the assumption of GBF's debt. <\/p>\n

The broker perceives the deal as attractive, the slight premium to net tangible assets seeming reasonable given the swift access to the mining fleet and workforce, and the opportunity for margin improvement.<\/p>\n

Moelis says the deal diversifies earnings and increases the company's chances in the higher barrier-to-entry underground service business. The company has reiterated FY19 earnings and guided to growth in FY20.<\/p>\n

McMahon is negotiating a rate increase with its Telfer contract and while a good result is expected in August, the sting in the tail is a heavy provision should it experience delays.<\/p>\n

The broker increases earnings to reflect the GBF purchase, a figure muted by the Telfer caution, and says the stock appears undervalued. Target price is 30c.<\/p>\n

PWH<\/a>    PWR HOLDINGS LIMITED<\/h2>\n

Automobiles & Components – Overnight Price: $4.36 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Bell Potter rates ((PWH)) as Downgrade to Hold from Buy (3) –<\/p>\n

Bell Potter maintains a positive perspective on Power Holdings but downgrades to Hold from Buy on something of a technicality.<\/p>\n

The upgraded target price of $4.85 (derived after changes to the valuation process) offers a total expected return, including dividend, of 10%, short of the 15% required to trigger a Buy recommendation.<\/p>\n

Earnings-per-share forecasts remain steady at 25%, 29% and 21%, across FY19, FY20 and FY21. Bell Poter does suggest the risk remains in favour of the company beating forecasts.<\/p>\n

The company has said it is on track for growth in FY19 and FY20.<\/p>\n
