Macquarie Stays Cautious on REA Amid AI Uncertainty -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Feb 09

0035 GMT - Uncertainty over AI impacts and market sentiment toward tech-related stocks keep Macquarie analysts cautious on REA Group despite the Australian real-estate advertiser's solid medium-term earnings outlook. The analyst tell clients in a note that the company's medium-term earnings appear intact following its 1H results. Macquarie's forecasts are for compound annual EPS growth of more than 15% through FY 2028, which includes the newly announced A$200 million buyback. However, the analysts are cautious on where the market will end up valuing the stock against the current backdrop. Macquarie cuts its target price 4.8% to A$200.00 and stays neutral on the stock. Shares rise 1.5% to A$170.67. News Corp is the parent company of Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
