Research notes

CBA delivered a beat (albeit low quality) of consensus expectations. Forecast changes are minimal. Target price lifted to $120.47. SELL retained, given potential TSR of -27% (including 3.0% cash yield) at current elevated prices and trading multiples.

Seek’s (SEK) FY26 result was largely per guidance and broadly in line with expectations. However, softer outlook commentary around APAC volumes (largely macro driven) and FY27 guidance being meaningfully under consensus led to the stock trading lower on result day. Cost control, operating leverage and solid yield growth were the key positives, in our view. We make several assumption changes and integrate FY27 guidance into our numbers (details overleaf). Our DCF-derived price target is lowered to A$19.90.
