My thoughts are this current price drop is no more than people who got cheap shares dumping. Fundamentals will see this rise again very shortly. Today is also the AGM & when Uncle Kev fires up the loyal & true, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lift tomorrow.
Can't post the entire ABN AMRO MorgansABN AMRO Morgansreport (several pages) but this is the conclusion of the report dated 17 July 2009:
Valuation and target price Following changes to our forecasts relating to an upgrade to earnings in the Construction division, our SOTP valuation has moved to A$1.60 (from A$1.55). Due to the uncertainty around the property book with regard to the timing and quantum of profits, we continue to set our target price (now A$1.28) at a discount to our valuation. We retain our Hold recommendation and await the release of the full-year result in August to provide further clarity on the property book and a general operational review, including an update on the civil infrastructure business that was acquired in August 2008. Table 2 : SOTP valuation Multiple FY10F EBITDA Value (A$m) Property Book value with 40% discount 205.8 Construction PE multiple 3.0 40.1 120.3 Sub-total 326.1 Net debt 123.2 202.9 Value per share 1.60 Source: ABN AMRO Morgans estimates Key risks to our target price and valuation include a greater-than-expected decline in construction margins, integration risk, a further softening of the property market reducing contributions from developments, or potential growth opportunities not flowing through as expected. Near-term catalysts include strategic acquisitions that are EPS accretive and may diversify earnings, significant project wins and further news flow on expected property sales, which may provide upside to near-term earnings.
