RBC Capital Markets upgraded Transfield Services to “outperform” from “underperform” and has a $1.20 a share 12-month price target on the stock as it reports earnings today, Thursday, February 27.

It was this week granted it a 20-month contract to operate a centre on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.

RBC said the $1.2 billion detention centre contract ($730 million a year) is significantly above the $175 million a year existing contract.

“We estimate this contract is above normal margins for Transfield and is a significant driver of profits in FY2015. We feel the stock has more to run based on the strength of this contract win.
