Buy

$41.00

9.74%

Following a further review of CAR Group's FY25 results, Ord Minnett raises its target to $41 from $39 and retains a Buy rating.

Highlights of the release, according to the analyst, included expectations for a faster pace of revenue growth in the US, easing concerns it might fall below 10%.

Further, depreciation and amortisation charges, interest expenses, and the effective tax rate were all lower than anticipated.

Days earlier (following the result), Ord Minnett upgraded Car Group to Buy from Hold on valuation grounds. 

A summary of the broker's prior research follows.

The broker notes one of the reasons for the -15% decline in share price since early February was expectations of a soft 2H for recreational vehicle sales. But its recent calls with US-based dealers indicated a modest recovery in sales since January.

Overall, the broker expects the impact of tariffs on sales to be modest and higher used car sales to offset some of the declines.

Neutral

$34.50

-7.66%

After detailed analysis of CAR Group's FY25 result, Jarden notes operating momentum remains strong with FY26 net profit guidance of 9-13% growth comparing with consensus of 12% before the result.

For FY26, the broker is forecasting 13.2% revenue growth vs guidance of 12-14%, and group EBITDA of 12.5% vs 10-13% guidance. North American organic revenue growth was the focus, and the broker estimates 11.6% revenue and 12.3% EBITDA growth.

The broker also forecasts margin expansion in Australia and Latin America. Overall, FY26 EPS forecast trimmed by -1.9% and FY27 by -3.6%, mainly due to below-the-line items. 

Neutral. Target unchanged at $34.50.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 90.00 cents and EPS of 115.70 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 99.00 cents and EPS of 123.40 cents.
