0005 GMT - Platinum Asset Management's merger with L1 isn't enough to turn UBS analysts bullish on the stock. With shareholder approval for the transaction secured, the UBS analysts incorporate L1's earnings into their outlook for the Australian wealth manager, driving EPS forecast increases of 11% for fiscal 2026, 16% for fiscal 2027, and 61% for fiscal 2028. They tell clients in a note that L1 should achieve strong organic earnings growth, and forecast A$12.5 million in fiscal 2026 cost reductions across the whole group. UBS lifts its target price 49% to A$0.79 but stays neutral on the stock. Shares are up 1.4% at A$0.735. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
