2242 GMT - Judo Capital gets placed under a 90-day upside catalyst watch at Citi on the chance that the Australian business lender's first-half result puts it in a position to beat annual guidance. Analyst Thomas Strong doesn't expect management to lift guidance at next month's first-half result announcement, but thinks that recent term-deposit pricing moves relative to swap rates could drive a better-than-expected net interest margin at the end of the reporting period. He tells clients in a note that outlook commentary could be stronger as a result. Citi keeps a buy rating and A$2.15 target price on the stock, which is at A$1.825 ahead of the open.
