  • Weekly Recommendation, Target Price, Earnings Forecast Changes
    Weekly Recommendation, Target Price, Earnings Forecast Changes Oct 10, 2016 By Rudi Filapek-Vandyck, Editor FNArena Guide: The FNArena database tabulates the views of eight major Australian and international stock brokers: Citi, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Macquarie, Morgan Stanley, Morgans, Ord Minnett and UBS. For the purpose of broker rating correlation, Outperform and Overweight ratings are grouped as Buy, Neutral is grouped with Hold and Underperform and Underweight are grouped as Sell to provide a Buy/Hold/Sell (B/H/S) ratio. Ratings, consensus target price and forecast earnings tables are published at the bottom of this report. Summary Period: Monday October 3 to Friday October 7, 2016 Total Upgrades: 4 Total Downgrades: 2 Net Ratings Breakdown: Buy 41.27%; Hold 43.52%; Sell 15.21% Four upgrades versus two downgrades. Half of all upgrades didn't go further than Neutral, while only one of the downgrades moved to Sell. Such was the full harvest in stockbroker recommendation changes for the week ending Friday, 7th October 2016. Needless to say, it wasn't a particularly busy week. Troubled aged care provider Estia Heath was the sole recipient of a fresh Sell rating (though it's labeled "Underweight" in the Morgan Stanley universe). Only one stock rates a mention for positive adjustments to price targets; ALS ltd, formerly known as Campbell Bros. There isn't much to talk about on the negative side either. Resources stocksFNArena continue to dominate changes in earnings estimates, and this guarantees fireworks on both sides of the ledger. Nickel miner Western Areas stands on top of the positive table, enjoying a boost of no less than +172%, followed by Whitehaven Coal on +23% and South32 on +12%.
