G8 Education's Mitigation Efforts Are Hard to Quantify -- Market Talk

Apr 29

0103 GMT - It's hard for RBC Capital Markets analyst Wei-Weng Chen to accurately gauge the impact of challenging trading conditions on G8 Education's annual earnings. The early-education provider is trying to mitigate the hit by suspending about 10% of its network, engaging in procurement and cost-saving initiatives, and reorganizing its support office. Chen tells clients in a note that the benefits from these measures are unquantified. Without them, he says G8's occupancy decline would result in a A$40 million hit to Ebit. Chen sees risk that consensus forecasts could be too high. RBC has a last-published sector-perform rating and A$0.50 target price on the stock, which is down 29% at A$0.17.
