SGH Buyback Plan Shows Investors Backup Use for Cash -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
06/23

0145 GMT - SGH's planned share buyback offers shareholders clarity on how the company could allocate cash should its bid for BlueScope Steel not proceed, Macquarie says. "A buyback is a credible backstop, but we think M&A intent remains," says the bank. SGH said it could buy up to A$500 million in stock under the program. Macquarie factors in A$200 million in stock purchases in FY 2027, although says "this level would stretch the SGH balance sheet if the bid were to continue." The bank expects little of the buyback will happen if the BlueScope bid gains momentum. Macquarie has an outperform rating on SGH. It raises its target to A$51.25 from A$50.35, citing earnings adjustments. Shares are down 0.5% at A$44.33. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
