03/17

2352 GMT - Perpetual's bull at Macquarie sees potential for further cost cutting following the sale of its wealth-management business to Bain Capital. One of the investment bank's analysts reckons that the divestment leaves the Australian company's remaining asset management and corporate trust units with a valuation of 10.9 times earnings. They see this as very attractive compared with peers, with any further cost cuts being highly accretive to earnings. Writing in a note to clients, the analyst adds that the wealth business has continued to perform through the sale process, meaning that Bain Capital will likely be liable for the deal's A$50 million earn out. Macquarie raises its target price 3.1% and reiterates its outperform rating. Shares are down 0.2% A$16.50. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
