Strong execution + making the most of industry tailwinds

Dyno Nobel
3:27pm
May 11, 2026
DNL’s 1H26 result was materially stronger than expected. After a stronger than expected 1H26, DNL would have upgraded its FY26 Explosives guidance had it not been for a stronger AUD, cost headwinds given the conflict in the Middle East and stranded costs post the sale of Phosphate Hill. We have made material revisions to our FY26 forecasts reflecting the sale of Phosphate Hill for a poor price. Moving forward, DNL is now a pure play explosives company. We have made modest upgrades to FY27/28. In its first year with no Fertilisers, DNL is trading on a fair FY27F PE of 17.9x and EV/EBITDA of 9.3x. We maintain a Hold rating with a new price target of A$3.46.

Resetting the base, not the franchise

CSL Ltd
3:27pm
May 11, 2026
FY26 guidance was downgraded on China Albumin price pressure, US Ig channel inventory normalisation and other impacts (paused Iran sales, lower Hemgenix and and Iron sales), combined with a further cUS$5bn in flagged impairments. Importantly, issues are framed as primarily executional rather than structural, with infrastructure overbuild, organisational complexity, and weak commercial execution cited, while underlying demand and industry structure remain healthy. Encouragingly, Seqirus is performing better than expected, Ig demand remains mid-to-high single digit, and there are early signs of plasma share stabilisation. While forward earnings visibility remains limited, we believe the current valuation increasingly discounts a structurally impaired plasma franchise, which we do not believe the current industry dynamics support. We reduce FY26-28 forecasts and lower our blended DCF, PE and EV/EBITDA-based target price to A$147.59. Given CSL’s global leadership positions, structurally growing end markets and operational initiatives, we retain a BUY rating.

Progressing Tallebung

Sky Metals
3:27pm
May 11, 2026
SKY continues to advance Tallebung toward development, with approvals momentum building and drilling continuing to support resource growth and project confidence. Recent drilling has returned high-grade tin mineralisation alongside meaningful silver and tungsten results, with both commodities trading at or near all-time highs. We maintain our SPECULATIVE BUY rating and A$0.35ps price target, uplift a function of an increase to our bull case following sustained tin price appreciation.

Capitalising on market dislocation

Macquarie Group
3:27pm
May 11, 2026
MQG delivered a very strong FY26 result with NPAT (A$4.8bn) up +30% on the pcp and +8% above company-compiled consensus. Whilst acknowledging this result was aided by significant volatility in commodity markets that assisted CGM, MQG’s performance was generally strong across the board. We increase our MQG FY27F/FY28F EPS by +9%/+2%. Our price target rises to A$248 (previously A$223) on our earnings changes and a valuation roll-forward. MQG is a quality franchise, and a proven performer, but with <10% upside to our PT, we maintain our Hold call. We increase our MQG FY27F/FY28F EPS by +9%/+2%. Our price target rises to A$248 (previously A$223) on our earnings changes and a valuation roll-forward.

Cost guidance and volume trajectory both improved

REA Group
3:27pm
May 10, 2026
REA's 3Q26 result was driven by a strong yield outcome (+14%) in the resilient domestic residential business, and new listings also returning to growth (+1% on the pcp). FY26 Operating cost guidance being lowered was a key takeaway. We make minor revisions to our FY26-FY28F EPS forecasts (-0.5%) reflecting the lowered cost guidance, offset by a more conservative FY27 yield assumption. Our DCF-derived price target is lowered slightly to A$219 (from A$220). BUY.
