SYDNEY--Shares in Computershare weakened in early trade after the share-registry provider's annual earnings fell slightly short of analysts' expectations.
The stock was down 3.0% about 45 minutes into Wednesday's session at 40.07 Australian dollars, or US$26.17. Computershare announced its fiscal 2025 result Tuesday after the market had closed.
Computershare reported a continuing-operations net profit for the 12 months through June of US$605.0 million, up 23% compared with the same period a year earlier. Continuing-operations revenue rose 4.8% to US$3.11 billion.
So-called management EPS, a company performance metric closely watched by analysts, rose 15% to US$1.351, in line with the company's guidance.
However, it reported management EPS of US$1.3495 on a diluted basis, slightly short of the average analyst forecast of US$1.3588, according to data compiled by Visible Alpha.
UBS analysts, who have a sell rating on the stock, also warned that below-the-line items such as fiscal 2025's restructuring costs are becoming more of a recurring factor.
