2306 GMT - CSL's downgrade to FY26 earnings revenue and profit guidance was worse than RBC Capital Markets anticipated. CSL now projects FY26 revenue of around US$15.2 billion and an underlying net profit of US$3.1 billion when currency swings are stripped out. "Whilst RBC and consensus numbers implied another downgrade, the revised FY26 guidance downgrade of 5%/9% (mid-point) to revenue/net profit was more severe than expected, as pressures within immunoglobulin and the dynamics within albumin in China persist," analyst Craig Wong-Pan says. RBC cuts its revenue and margin assumptions for CSL's Behring and Vifor businesses. This drives a 36% reduction in its price target, to A$113.00 a share. CSL ended Monday at A$100.75.
