2155 GMT - Wealth manager AMP serves as a reminder that turnaround opportunities carry risk and rarely progress in a straight line, says Jefferies. AMP only missed Jefferies's forecast for FY 2025 underlying net profit by A$2 million. But analyst Simon Fitzgerald was disappointed by the overall composition of the result. "Underlying net profit in both the Platforms and AMP Bank segments fell short of our predictions by 7% and 13%, respectively," Jefferies says. "Additionally, FY26 indicates further revenue-margin declines in the wealth businesses, along with continued challenges for the bank." Jefferies cuts its price target by 20% to A$1.75/share, while retaining a buy call on the stock. AMP ended Thursday at A$1.28.(david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
