Goodman's Lack of Earnings Upgrade 'Largely Timing Related' -- Market Talk

Dow Jones02-20 06:13

2113 GMT - Goodman's decision not to upgrade its guidance is likely a timing issue, says Jefferies. Goodman continues to expect 9% growth in operating EPS in FY 2026. Analyst Andrew Dodds views leasing at Goodman's North American and European data center projects as a potential catalyst in 2H. Goodman could also bring in a new capital/operating partner at its LAX01 data center. "FY 2026 guidance now reflects a more balanced 1H/2H skew, which should give the market a bit more comfort," Jefferies says. Goodman's shares fell 4% to A$29.82 on Thursday, reflecting disappointment at the lack of an earnings upgrade. Jefferies notes the stock now trades on a price-to-earnings multiple of 24x. It retains a buy call on Goodman, saying this multiple "doesn't reflect the growth outlook and capital position." (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
