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.

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.
