0044 GMT - Pallets supplier Brambles will be able to pass on the impact of higher fuel costs to its customers, just not right away, Jefferies analysts say. The CHEP brand operator's contracts allow it to recover costs through pricing, but the analysts tell clients in a note that they expect some lag in timing. They think that Brambles will experience fewer deliveries from North American recyclers in a high fuel-cost environment because the fees it pays them are fixed. This would mean Brambles needs to organize more of its own pallet collections, they add. Jefferies trims its target price 1.8% to A$21.02 and keeps a hold rating on the stock, which is up 0.4% at A$22.72. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
