0130 GMT - Accent Group keeps its bull at Bell Potter despite the footwear retailer's weaker-than-expected trading update. Analyst Chami Ratnapala lowers her net profit forecasts for the next three fiscal years by between 17% and 20% on what she says was an 18% gap between Accent's FY25 EBIT guidance and the average analyst forecast. However, she continues to see Reserve Bank of Australia rate cuts supporting a demand recovery toward the end of this calendar year. She also reminds clients in a note that Accent's partnership with U.K.-based Frasers Group will expose the Australian company to leading brands including Nike. Bell Potter cuts its target price 19% to A$2.10 but retains a buy rating. Shares are down 21% at A$1.42. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
