Read MoreHigher-than-expected costs growth in the second half, in addition to commentary regarding a difficult market, leads Credit Suisse to believe FY21 will also experience higher costs and the benefits of the cost reduction program are likely only in FY22.
Read MoreCredit Suisse expects the company’s retail market position and solid trading through the fourth quarter will support the FY20 results, due on August 20.
Read MoreNational Australia Bank’s third-quarter cash net profit was slightly better than expected due to higher trading income. Revenue grew by 10% on account of recovery in markets and treasury income, reports UBS.
Read MoreMorgans describes Newcrest Mining’s FY20 result as steady, but says Lihir’s outlook disappointed and questions whether Lihir will ever post a consistent performance. FY21 guidance for Lihir points to both an unexpected drop in grade and mill recoveries, explains the broker.
Read MoreFlight Centre anticipates a FY20 pre-tax loss in a range of -$475-525m. Citi downgrades to Neutral from Buy with a $13.50 target, given the uncertainty surrounding the resumption of global and domestic travel and the lack of catalysts outside of a successful vaccine.
Read MoreThe FY20 results for QBE Insurance Group had largely been pre-released and Morgans states that many of the factors leading to a disappointing profit (NPAT) loss of -US$712m obscured improving underlying profitability trends driven by the ‘Brilliant Basics’ program and an increasingly favourable global pricing environment.
Read MoreGoodman Group delivered on high expectations, UBS observes, with FY20 growth of 11.4%. The company is guiding to 9% growth in FY21.

December Quarterly Report: Q2 FY2023Looking past the rain – there’s a rainbow.TerraCom released their operating results for the December quarter FY2023 with operating metrics being in line with our forecasts. Unseasonal rains in both Australia and South Africa contributed to operational and logistical issues across all mines, however guidance for annual production at Blair Athol is unaffected and highlights the quality of TerraCom’s skills in operational management. We continue to like the stable operating metrics around the company’s Australian operations and see potential for the South African operations to benefit from increased management focus given the rationalisation of operations following the closure of the Ubuntu mine. Corporate Connects overall financials remain unchanged as does our target price of $1.35 share. We maintain our forecast for a fully franked quarterly dividend of 7.5c/share to be paid in the March and June quarters of FY2023. |

DOWNLOAD RESEARCH REPORTSigns MOU with Ford Company – Kachi is now sold out!Lake Resources (LKE. ASX) – LKE has signed two non-binding MOU’s in the space of 10 days. Ford Company (Ford) has signed an MOU for ~25,000t/year and last week Hanwa, a Japanese commodity trader signed a MOU for up to 25,000t/year. Subject to execution, this is an amazing feat as Ford and Hanwa are prepared to enter into longer-term strategic partnerships with LKE. Commercial negotiations are still ongoing but are expected, especially if Ford & Hanwa inject new equity into LKE, to further de-risk the project financing & thus ensure LKE and Kachi are fully funded. |

Promising exploration and development update while SOP prices continue to riseTwo recent gravity surveys have considerably exceeded expectations and revealed potential for extensions to the existing MRE at Lake Throssell, plus a material growth opportunity at Lake Yeo. This reinforces the potential for a multi-decade, Tier-1 SOP production hub based around Lake Throssell. TMG is currently completing work towards the PFS due early 2023, including drilling to start in Q3 2022, evaporation trials and permitting activities. Results from these programs will support the PFS and any future resource upgrade. Benchmark SOP prices have risen to ~US$940/t due to recent geopolitical developments. The Oct 2021 Scoping Study assumed a SOP price of US$550/t and contained a sensitivity analysis showing every 10% increase in price drives a +$144m increase in the project NPV of $364m. The c.70% increase above the Scoping Study thus implies a project NPV of ~$1.4bn. |
