Latest Research Balance Sheet Optionality to Help Navigate A Weaker Outlook Upgrade to Buy/High Risk TP: $2.75 — We upgrade our recommendation on Qube Holdings from Sell to Buy/High Risk with a $2.75 price target ($2.80). Our EPS forecasts decline ~4% in FY20e; ~22% in FY21e and ~20% in FY22e due to a higher share count and lower expected volume growth for Qube’s Operating Division. We think the de-risked balance sheet (gearing at ~28%), path for value realization around Moorebank and sale of non-core property assets (Minto), scope for strategic accretive acquisitions and cost controls will generate value for shareholders. We forecast a 3-year EPS CAGR of ~12% to FY22e, which will rely on further uptake at Moorebank. For more information see research 4 May 2020.
