Half Yearly Key Metrics; (Analysis by Kalkine Group)

Key Risks: The company faces the COVID-19 impact of lockdowns and restrictions in New Zealand and Australia. The supply chain and labour challenges persist due to increasing the strain of the new virus variant across all geographies.

Outlook: With the positive outlook on commodity prices, increased infrastructure project activity and broader rebound in economics post-lockdown, and despite supply chain pressures WesTrac is likely to deliver ‘low single-digit’ EBIT growth in FY22 on FY21. With Boral focusing on improving margins and shareholder returns, Beach anticipates production of 21.0 to 23.0 MMboe, SGH overall offers Group guidance for its EBIT to be up 8-10% in FY22 on FY21.

Valuation Methodology: Price to Earnings Multiple Based Relative Valuation (Illustrative)

Source: Analysis by Kalkine Group

*% Premium/(Discount) is based on our assessment of the company’s NTM trading multiple after considering its key growth drivers, economic moat, stock's historical trading multiples versus peer average/median, and investment risks.

Stock Recommendation: The stock of SVW gave a negative return of ~10.63% in the past three months and a negative return of ~9.04% in the past six months. The stock is currently trading lower than the 52-weeks’ average price level band of $19.240 - $24.550. The stock has been valued using the P/E-multiple-based illustrative relative valuation method and arrived at a target price of low double-digit upside (in % terms). The company might trade at a slight discount than its peers’ median P/E multiple, considering the impact of lockdowns during COVID-19, and supply chain disruptions. For this purpose of valuation, a few peers like Monadelphous Group Ltd (ASX: MND), Downer EDI Ltd (ASX: DOW) and Coventry Group Ltd (ASX: CYG) have been considered. Considering the current trading levels, rising net margins, growth in sales & ROE, improved liquidity, given positive guidance despite supply chain disruptions, indicative upside in valuation, and associated key business risks, we give a ‘Buy’ rating on the stock at the closing market price of $19.940, up by ~1.734%, as of 5th May 2022. Markets are trading in a highly volatile zone currently due to certain macro-economic issues and geopolitical tensions prevailing. Therefore, it is prudent to follow a cautious approach while investing.
