Outperform

$7.00

14.19%

Steadfast Group’s FY25 earnings (EBITA) were in line with Macquarie’s forecast, with profit supported by lower amortisation.

The broker notes disclosure changes, with less detail on acquisition multiples and M&A spend, though FY26 guidance implies only around -$90m of acquisitions versus $300m in prior years.

The analyst highlights operational risks from executive changes, with the chair to retire in October 2025 and further succession updates expected in 2026.

Macquarie's earnings forecasts lift by 1% for both FY26 and FY27, with 1-3% upgrades beyond this period. The $7.00 price target and Outperform rating are maintained.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 21.00 cents and EPS of 33.40 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 21.00 cents and EPS of 34.50 cents.

Overweight

$6.90

12.56%

Steadfast Group's FY25 underlying profit of $346.2m was in line with guidance of $340-350m and Jarden’s forecasts. Revenue from consolidated entities was slightly weaker-than-expected, though tighter cost control lifted earnings (EBITA) above expectations.

Broking revenue and EBITA grew 7% despite weaker gross written premium trends, while agency earnings rose 10% with strong revenue margins partly offsetting softer growth in the second half.

The broker highlights the acquisition of a majority stake in US-based Novum Underwriting Partners, signaling an acceleration of Steadfast’s international expansion as domestic premium tailwinds moderate.

While organic growth is slowing, the group continues to diversify with acquisitions and synergies from scale, highlight the analysts.

Jarden raises its target price to $6.90 from $6.75 and retains a Buy rating.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 21.10 cents and EPS of 33.40 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 22.90 cents and EPS of 36.10 cents.
