DJ MARKET TALK: Riversdale Target Upped To A$10.50 By CS
2304 GMT [Dow Jones] STOCK CALL: Credit Suisse hoists Riversdale (RIV.AU) price target to A$10.50 from A$6.25 vs A$9.20 last trade, retains Neutral recommendation. Says company's Mozambique assets base makes it a relative winner from resource super profits tax proposal. "In fact, with the proposed decrease in the company tax rate to 25%, Riversdale actually benefits," Credit Suisse says. Adds proposed tax could affect global metallurgical supply in tight period to 2012 if it causes delay to infrastructure expansion, potentially providing support for coal prices. Says bidding war for Macarthur Coal (MCC.AU) suggests Riversdale isn't takeover proof. ([email protected])
