uxc....downgrade?? who??, page-4

The Thomson/Reuters consensus database has the following on UXC, based on 7 brokers:

FY14 FY15 FY16
revenue $643M $681M $706M
EBITDA $36.4M $41.1M $43.7M
EPS 3.8cps 6.43cps 7.05cps

If these brokers have good crystal balls (they don't), then UXC will have mid single digit growth through to FY17. Brokers estimate stronger EPS growth (due to cost efficiencies?, or maybe accretive acquisitions?) and associated dividend growth (estimated 4.58cps in FY15; 5.14cps in FY16).

In terms of downgrades, the database shows no changes -- currently 2 outperform, 1 buy, and 5 hold. Average target price has eased slightly from 97cps in Sept to 96cps currently.
