  • Brokers Crunch Convincing Numbers on MYOB
    Brokers Crunch Convincing Numbers On MYOB Jun 11, 2015 -Strong earnings growth -Robust market share -Established pricing regime By Eva Brocklehurst Accounting software provider MYOB ((MYO)) has taken its accounting platform to the cloud. The company has invested in the technology and must now ensure it captures a rightful share of users of desk top functions as they move to cloud-based services. MYOB is ahead in this race, starting with an installed user base of 1.2m and brand recognition, as well as a dedicated software solution and strong distribution platform. Citi expects earnings growth of 19% on a three-year compound rate and believes the stock's trading discount to global peers is unwarranted. The broker initiates coverage with a Buy rating and $4.00 target. Management has invested heavily in product, adding $24m in costs over 2012-14. Citi expects this investment will continue at a more modest pace, with cost growth running at around 4.0% compound out to FY17. Cost additions are considered a key investment risk in MYOB's business. Market share is concentrated and barriers to entry are high, Goldman Sachs observes. MYOB is benefiting from the shift to cloud-based software, which the broker notes has driven a 10% per annum growth in paying users since 2011 and increased customer lifetime value - where customers move towards subscription products as older products are no longer supported. Goldman Sachs initiates coverage with a Neutral rating, tempering its favourable view as the stock is trading close to the $3.56 target. The broker forecasts a 16% compound earnings growth rate over 2014-17.
