2306 GMT - Computershare is likely to launch and complete a fresh A$350 million share buyback in its 2026 fiscal year, Jefferies analysts reckon. They see free cashflow in Computershare's current fiscal year rising 14% to US$1.12 billion. They point out in a note to clients that the share-registry provider's current A$600 million buyback is 60% complete and scheduled to continue until the end of fiscal 2025. The company is benefiting from higher-than-anticipated average customer balances, prompting the Jefferies analysts to raise their balance forecasts in outer years. Jefferies lifts its target price 12% to A$34.00 and keeps a buy rating on the stock, which is at A$29.58 ahead of the open. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
