Brambles Keeps Bull on Structural Efficiency Gains -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Feb 20

0201 GMT - Brambles keeps its bull at Morgan Stanley on the efficiency gains that are insulating the pallet supplier from volume headwinds. Analyst Joseph Michael tells clients in a note that Brambles's strong December-half margins and improved free cash-flow outlook, which were supported by structural efficiency gains, highlight the Australia-listed company's operational discipline. If Brambles expands its so-called pallet serialization program into the U.S., Michael sees even lower capital intensity and a sustainably higher free cash-flow profile ahead. Morgan Stanley lifts its target price by 7.7% to A$28.00 and stays overweight on the stock, which is down 0.7% at A$24.20. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
