0020 GMT - Navigator Global Investments' bull at Macquarie sees the alternative-asset manager entering its new fiscal year with good momentum. Resuming coverage of the stock with an outperform rating, one of the investment bank's analysts writes in a note that 4Q assets-under-management growth across both its Lighthouse and NGI Strategic portfolios provides a solid platform for FY 2027, which began July 1. The analyst tells clients that this is before the expected contributions from the acquisition of its Stable Growth Portfolio, which closed this month. For the most recent fiscal year, Macquarie sees Navigator hitting the midpoint of the company's US$100 million-US$104 million adjusted Ebitda guidance range. Macquarie puts a A$3.28 target price on the stock, which is down 0.85% at A$2.34. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
