Feb 19
2327 GMT - Brambles' bull at Citi sees high quality in the pallet supplier's first-half result. The overall result was in line with expectations but analyst Samuel Seow points to strong levels of new customer wins and strong margins despite softer like-for-like demand. He tells clients in a note that the second-half margin beat implied by the first-half result is likely to continue into the 2027 fiscal year. Brambles still has room to maneuver on both overheads and pooling provisions, he adds. Citi has a last-published "buy" rating and A$26.75 target price on the stock, which is up 4.7%, at A$24.60.
