Autosports's Consolidation Prospects Appeal to Bull -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Dec 04, 2025

0023 GMT - Autosports Group's inorganic growth capacity and observation of improved trading conditions make it Macquarie analysts' pick among Australian vehicle retailers. The analysts tell clients in a note that dealer inventory looks generally healthy across the industry and gross profit margins probably bottomed out over the six months through June 2025. They have an outperform rating on both Autosports and Eagers Automotive, but prefer the former for its strong order growth, easing margin pressure and strong M&A pipeline. It looks well-placed for consolidation, they add. They keep a A$4.85 target price on the stock, which is down 1.8% at A$4.40. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
