2239 GMT - Catapult's improving margins and better-than-expected cost control keeps Jefferies analysts bullish on the sports-tech provider. They trim their annual revenue forecast by about 1% to US$116 million to reflect a stronger-than-normal skew toward the just-completed fiscal first half, but this is offset by the prospect of a stronger Ebitda margin. They tell clients in a note that Catapult's cost management supports an Ebitda margin forecast of 13% for fiscal 2025, up from 12% previously. They see Catapult's recent deal with England's national rugby body as evidence that it is displacing incumbent providers. Jefferies lifts its target price 38% to A$3.30 and keeps a buy rating on the stock. Shares are at A$2.87 ahead of the open. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
