Macquarie's Strong 1Q Lifts Bulls' Earnings Confidence

Dow Jones08:38

0038 GMT - Macquarie's good start to fiscal 2027 lifts confidence in the earnings outlook among its bulls at Morgan Stanley. The investment bank's analysts are unconcerned that the Australian financial group maintained rather than lifted its guidance, pointing out in a note to clients that there is a strong second-half earnings skew at both its commodity and investment banking units. They see improving operating conditions supporting the revenue for Macquarie's investment bank, asset-management and commodities units, adding that earnings risks are tilted toward the upside. MS keeps an overweight recommendation on the stock and lifts its target price 3.8% to 273.00 Australian dollars. Shares are up 1.3% at A$257.14. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
