Dow Jones
Feb 19

0040 GMT - Property owner and manager Charter Hall's share price falls 2.7% to A$22.94 despite another upgrade of its earnings outlook. Charter Hall's 1H operating EPS beat estimates by 4.1%. Its annual guidance for operating EPS rises by 5.3% to A$1.00/share, moving it ahead of consensus expectations. Jarden analyst Tom Bodor says Charter Hall's 1H result was solid and supported by very strong transaction activity over the period and equity inflows. "Guidance upgrade demonstrates ongoing momentum despite rate expectations tilting more hawkish and Charter Hall management's ability to unlock opportunities," Jarden says. "Future growth optionality appears to be building with total development pipeline increasing to A$17.9 billion." Jarden rates Charter Hall at overweight with a A$27.60/share price target.
