Fletcher Gets New Bull Despite Near-Term Uncertainty -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Apr 17

0101 GMT - Fletcher Building gets a new bull in Forsyth Barr, which views a 25% share-price fall since late January as an attractive entry point for investors. Fletcher is trading on a multiple of 10X enterprise value-to-Ebit. That's in line with its long-run average, despite cyclically low earnings, analyst Rohan Koreman-Smit says. "We acknowledge the near-term uncertainty but continue to expect an eventual cyclical recovery in activity as well as benefits from the strategic reset and cost out to lift earnings, lower debt, improve free cashflow and enable dividends to resume," Forsyth Barr says. It upgrades Fletcher to outperform, from neutral, even as its price target drops 8% to NZ$3.80/share on earnings revisions. Fletcher is down 1.7% at NZ$2.91. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
