Research Notes

Finding a sweet spot

Objective Corporation
3:27pm
November 26, 2025
OCL’s recent investor day showcased the group’s product, strategy & the broader opportunity that sits across its solutions. OCL’s vision and direction is in our view clearer now vs. its inaugural event 2 years ago. We believe momentum across the business continues to build, which sees OCL well placed to deliver profitable growth in coming years. In light of the recent share price pull back, we move to an ACCUMULATE rating, with a revised PT of $20.00/sh.

Pricing confirmed for US market

Proteomics International Laboratories
3:27pm
November 26, 2025
PIQ has announced the CMS has confirmed the US$390.75 national reimbursement rate for PromarkerD, effective 1 January 2026. Confirmation supports distribution partnering, but sales traction likely to remain challenging without a substantial sales and marketing team or distribution partner. Maintain HOLD at A$0.43ps target price and prefer to see commercial traction before turning more positive.

Precious Cargo – Initiate at BUY

Advanced Innergy
3:27pm
November 25, 2025
Advanced Innergy (AIH) is a global material science company that develops, supplies and installs products for the protection of critical infrastructure across various industries. AIH has robust cyclical growth prospects in its traditional subsea oil & gas market as key customers report record backlogs and strong visibility, underpinned by energy security and a preference for long-cycle projects with favourable economics. This will be supplemented by growth in new markets such as offshore wind and EV batteries. Importantly, AIH has a strong competitive position, well developed intellectual property, an innovative culture and balance sheet optionality. We initiate coverage with a BUY rating and $1.40 target price.

Flywheel effects underpin strong growth

WEB Travel Group
3:27pm
November 25, 2025
While WEB reported strong top line growth, this did not translate into strong NPATA growth (fell 7.4% on the pcp). However, cashflow was stronger than expected and the balance sheet is in a strong net cash position. Pleasingly, WEB’s trading update was stronger than expected and top line growth has accelerated. FY26 guidance was slightly stronger than expected and we have upgraded our forecasts. WEB’s outlook comments for FY27 were also upbeat. With 19% upside to A$5.20 price target and trading on undemanding fundamentals, we upgrade to an Accumulate recommendation.

More than meets the eye

SKS Technologies Group
3:27pm
November 20, 2025
SKS’s recent updates and revised FY26 guidance continue to solidify the group’s strong outlook in FY26-27F. We upgrade to a Buy rating with a revised $4.25 PT.

Thinking ahead

Tasmea
3:27pm
November 20, 2025
The WorkPac acquisition is +10% EPS accretive or +5-6% including the dilution from the recent equity raise. This transaction is a step-out from the company’s strategy to acquire more specialised services businesses, though it sends a clear signal about TEA’s visibility over demand in its key end-markets. WorkPac gives TEA a deeper labour pool which will be helpful in a tight market as it endeavours to self-perform all its services. This has the capacity to positively impact margins. Additionally, TEA should benefit from improved speed of mobilisation, which is critical given the fast-paced nature of some of its responsive services. Our target price increases to $5.40 from $5.00. BUY maintained.

International Spotlight

Tencent
3:27pm
November 20, 2025

Its services include social network, music, web portals, e-commerce, mobile games, internet services, payment systems, smartphones and multiplayer online games. The company is split into six groups: Corporate Development Group, Cloud & Smart Industries Group, Interactive Entertainment Group, Platform & Content Group, Technology Engineering Group and Weixin Group.

Bidding war heats up

Webjet Group Limited
3:27pm
November 20, 2025
While we were expecting a weak 1H26 result and revised FY26 guidance, the quantum was greater than expected, with the amount further impacted by a change in accounting policy relating to revenue recognition for gift cards which has significantly restated the pcp. We have made material revisions to our forecasts. Earnings uncertainty remains high in the near term given cyclical and structural threats and at a time WJL is investing in the business for longer term success. The result and outlook is somewhat overshadowed by HLO’s A$0.90 non-binding indicative offer. In our view, WJL is now in play and will likely be taken over.

Through the worst of it and keeping Seeds

Nufarm
3:27pm
November 19, 2025
While NUF’s FY25 result was weak, it was slightly above guidance. A solid Crop Protection result was overshadowed by a poor Seed Technologies performance. Gearing was far too high at 2.7x, however it was better than feared Outlook comments were upbeat. In FY26, material earnings growth and a reduction in leverage ratios is expected. We have upgraded our forecasts. Now that there is certainty on Seed Technologies future, industry operating conditions have improved and there is a clear pathway to deleveraging the balance sheet, we upgrade NUF to a Buy recommendation and A$3.20 price target.

November 19, 2025
CC5 has identified over $45m in sales revenue from its existing client base of seven pharmaceutical companies. The launch of the new contact plate now provides a complete automated solution for customers. CC5 has ended 1Q26 in a reasonable cash position which will be enhanced in 2Q26 by the exercise of options, R&D tax refund and additional committed sales. Further catalysts include additional contracts with new and existing customers.
