Drivers of Elders's Earnings Miss May Be Transient -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-10

2325 GMT [Dow Jones]--There's an argument to be made that the drivers of Elders's 1H earnings miss won't repeat, says UBS. In a note, analyst Evan Karatzas points out that cattle auction values have recovered from record lows, while agricultural chemical margins should normalize in time. Elders is now trading at 11x enterprise value-to-Ebit, which UBS thinks is undemanding and below the long-term average. "We caution that the information provided at the trading update does make it difficult to confirm the earnings weakness was in fact driven by one-off factors," UBS says. "To increase our conviction we will be looking for additional clarity at the Elders 1H result on May 20." (david.winning@wsj.com)
