2228 GMT - Jefferies sees steeper share-price gains for both wagering company Tabcorp after calling a bottom in the racing market. In a note, analyst Kai Erman says racing revenue likely reached a floor in 4Q of 2024. "This is an important catalyst for Tabcorp, and one of the main overhangs on earnings over the past 12-18 months," Jefferies says. The bank is also positive on PointsBet, partly because of its appeal as a takeover target. Jefferies expects PointsBet to report Ebitda of A$18 million in FY 2025, beating A$11 million-A$16 million guidance. Its price target on Tabcorp rises 26% to A$0.73/share, while its target for PointsBet lifts 29% to A$1.10/share. Tabcorp and PointsBet ended last week at A$0.64 and A$0.93, respectively.
