Harvey Norman Loses Bull as Interest Rate Rise Looms -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jan 07

2200 GMT - Harvey Norman loses a bull in Jefferies despite the Australian retailer appearing to take market share from its rivals during the key Christmas trading period. Jefferies downgrades Harvey Norman to hold, from buy, and lowers its price target by 9.5% to A$7.60/share. Analyst Michael Simotas notes Harvey Norman's stock is up nearly 50% over the past 12 months. It is now trading a price-to-earnings multiple of 18x. "We believe earnings upgrades will be needed to drive further upside, which seems unlikely, with the market now pricing rate hikes from February," Jefferies says. Harvey Norman ended Tuesday at A$6.90.(david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
