SGH Short-term Outlook Weighed Falling Roadwork -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Feb 03

2259 GMT - SGH faces short-term cyclical headwinds in construction markets, offsetting generally healthy operating conditions in the mining sector, Bell Potter analyst Joseph House says in a note. He highlights a 5% fall in Australian east coast roadwork on-year during 3Q 2025. "While booming infrastructure sub-sectors like electrical generation and transmission are anticipated to provide some demand reprieve, the lower consumption intensity of aggregates and concrete compared with Roading would not be a like-for-like demand replacement for Boral," House says. Bell Potter's target on SGH is trimmed to A$51.80/share from A$52.00. It retains a hold recommendation. SGH ended Monday at A$45.78. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
