Macquarie Looks Fairly Valued After Strong 1Q

Dow Jones
Jul 24

0048 GMT - Macquarie looks fairly valued to Morgans analyst Richard Coles given his expectation that favorable market volatility is likely to plateau at some point. Maintaining a hold rating on the stock, Coles acknowledges the Australian financial group's strong start to fiscal 2027, but points out that a substantial increase in first-quarter profit contribution from its commodities and global markets unit reflects subdued conditions in the year-earlier period. Coles tells clients in a note that Macquarie remains a quality franchise with exposure to structural growth, including in infrastructure, but that it looks fairly priced at 19X earnings. Morgans lifts its target price 3.0% to 255.80 Australian dollars. Shares are up 1.1% at A$256.58. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
