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

The company is currently Bell Potter's best pick in the tech sector. It is expected to report a very positive result for 2019, along with strong indications of continuing the same in 2020.<\/p>\n

The company's growth, the broker explains, is driven by a strong core business along with expectations for improvement in the performance of Figure 8 in 2020. China is also expected to increase its contribution in terms of revenues in 2020 and after.<\/p>\n

INA<\/a>    INGENIA COMMUNITIES GROUP<\/h2>\n

Aged Care & Seniors – Overnight Price: $4.65 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Moelis rates ((INA)) as Hold (3) –<\/p>\n

Moelis notes that the Ingenia group has been impacted by the bushfires and while none of the group's tourism parks have suffered any damage, the community owner lost two residents' homes at Lake Conjola.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, notes Moelis, new home sales at Lake Conjola are expected to be adversely impacted during 2H20. The closure of three assets in NSW has led to a loss of close to -$2m in tourism revenue, although Moelis clarifies the group's insurance would cover the property loss as well as gross profits.<\/p>\n

The broker recommends holding onto the shares for now. Moelis clarifies the bushfire impact is a one-off, without any impact on revenue. <\/p>\n

The broker also anticipates an improvement in residential market conditions. That, along with the real estate group's recent inclusion in the ASX200, are points in the company's favour. The broker retains its Hold rating with target price of $4.62.<\/p>\n

SMR<\/a>    STANMORE COAL LIMITED<\/h2>\n

Coal – Overnight Price: $1.01 <\/strong><\/p>\n

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

The company's operating profits outlook has decreased owing to delays in coal shipments and an increase in waste stripping, comments Bell Potter.<\/p>\n

This has also led to an increase in the cost outlook while saleable coal production estimates, as per the broker, remain the same for FY20.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the broker notes the net cash reserves fell at quarter-end to $58m due to a combination of dividend payout, increase in working capital and a fall in operating cash flows.<\/p>\n

The company relies on an upturn in coal prices failing which, earnings would fall in FY20-21, the report states.<\/p>\n

Bell Potter is cautiously optimistic and opines this is a well-run company with the capacity to pursue growth prospects and gives the stock a Hold rating with a target price of $1.10.<\/p>\n

WHC<\/a>    WHITEHAVEN COAL LIMITED<\/h2>\n

Coal – Overnight Price: $2.53 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Bell Potter rates ((WHC)) as Buy (1) –<\/p>\n

Bell Potter observes Whitehaven Coal faced difficulties during Q2 FY20 due to issues with the Narrabri and Maules Creek coal mines respectively.
\n 
\nThe broker expects growth to pick up during the second half of FY20, with Whitehaven expecting to achieve more than 60% of its FY20 production targets during this time. <\/p>\n

Bell Potter also expects the issues with both coal mines to have moderated by then. This, along with ample projects in the pipeline and strong cash generation, would support production growth over the medium to long term. Bell Potter rates this stock a Buy with a $4 target.<\/p>\n
