Lendlease Bull Sees Potential for A$500M Buyback -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

May 20, 2025

2346 GMT - Lendlease's bull at Macquarie thinks the Australian real-estate developer could be inching closer to a buyback of up to A$500 million. An analyst note from the investment bank highlights Lendlease's successful execution of its capital recycling strategy, pointing out that the company is just A$300 million short of its A$2.8 billion target. Macquarie's analyst would have preferred Lendlease to completely exit the U.K. assets that it has contributed to a joint venture with The Crown Estate, but is positive on valuation and the flexibility it has with regard to capital allocation. Macquarie raises its target price 7.6% to A$7.79 and keeps an outperform rating on the stock, which is at A$5.51 ahead of the open. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
