Macquarie Bull Sees Risk of Strategy Shift Easing

Dow Jones

Jul 24

Macquarie's bull at Jefferies thinks the appointment of an internal candidate as CEO reduces risks of a material near-term strategy shift. Analyst Andrew Lyons tells clients in a note that the promotion of Greg Ward to CEO resolves longstanding succession uncertainty in the latter stages of Shemara Wikramanayake's eight-year tenure. Lyons thinks that Ward will be well received by investors due to his 30-year tenure at Macquarie, which has included leading its fast-growing retail banking business. His relationships with key regulators and tech experience are also positives, Lyons adds. Jefferies keeps a buy rating on the stock and raises its target price 12% to 284.03 Australian dollars. Shares are at A$253.75 ahead of the open. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
