Credit Suisse Jul 06:
The analysts have initiated coverage on the stock with an Outperform rating and a target of $6.20.
Credit Suisse is of the view that the company will generate EPS growth of around 20% per year for the next two years, for FY06 EPS growth is expected to be 55%.
UBS Jul 06:
It rates Cardno (CDD) as Buy 2 with a price target of $5.20, noting the outlook for its primary business of engineering construction looks strong for at least the next two years.
Over the last few years it notes management has demonstrated an ability to integrate new acquisitions into its existing operations, which is important not only because it has made a number of such acquisitions recently but because it looks set to continue expanding given the highly fragmented industry in which it operates.
Factoring in additional expansion, the broker expects earnings per share of 33c this year, but sees this increasing to 38c in FY07 and 42c in FY08, which equates to a Price/Earnings (P/E) ratio of 13.6x earnings this year and 10.7x in FY08. This puts the broker ahead of median forecasts according to Thomson One Analytics, who sees earnings coming in at 30c this year, 35c in FY07 and 33c in FY08.
The average price target is $5.48, while the median target according to Thomson One is $5.27. This compares to the broker's valuation range of $5.00-$5.50 and a last closing price of $4.50.
I would expect Cardno to reach a target of around $5.50 by Jan-Feb07, which is slower than hoped with it's current strong earnings growth and dividend, but the market climate at the moment seems to be slowing things alittle.
