SGH Loses Bull But M&A Boost Remains a Risk -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Feb 12

0017 GMT - SGH's slight earnings beat in 1H doesn't keep Macquarie from downgrading its stock to neutral, from outperform. "Execution has remained strong despite a mixed market context," says Macquarie. "However, we believe valuation is fair without a new growth driver." Macquarie points to SGH's 27% premium to its nominal average price-to-earnings ratio over 10 years. It's also trading at a 21% premium to the ASX 200 Industrials sub-index. Still, Macquarie adds a caveat to its downgrade. "A key risk in this call is SGH succeeding at value-adding, accretive M&A," Macquarie says. SGH has teamed up with U.S.-based Steel Dynamics to bid for BlueScope Steel, but so far its overtures have been rebuffed. SGH is down 2.4% at A$49.68. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
