Downer Profit, Guidance Higher Than Expected -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Feb 19

2356 GMT - Downer's 1H underlying profit and FY26 guidance is ahead of expectations, says RBC Capital Markets in a note. Underlying profit--adjusted for amortization, or Npata--of A$136.1 million beats RBC's estimate of A$132 million and consensus of A$129 million, the broker says. Annual profit guidance of A$295 million-A$315 million compares to RBC's forecast of A$293 million and consensus of A$300 million. Downer also reports a "meaningful step up" in work in hand, which rises by 8.9%, the broker says. RBC has an outperform rating and A$8.75 target on the stock. Downer's share rise 3.2% to A$7.98.
