GrainCorp's Stock Fall Looks Too Deep Following Downpour -- Market Talk

Jun 01

2311 GMT - Ord Minnett elevates GrainCorp to buy, from accumulate, following heavy rain along Australia's east coast. Analyst John Lawlor says the rain underwrites a FY27 winter crop. He notes that in mid-May significant areas of northern New South Wales and Queensland didn't appear to have sufficient soil moisture profiles to plant. At the time, the weather forecast suggested a dry winter and the chance of El Nino. "However, the relieving rains of the past two weeks have washed away these fears, and while the FY27 crop is likely to be smaller than FY26, it is now unlikely to be a disaster," Ord Minnett says. "This makes the 21% retracement in Graincorp's share price since May 14 seem a significant overreaction." Its price target stays at A$7.25/share. GrainCorp ended Friday at A$4.93.
