Fiscal 2027 Shaping up to be Flat EBIT Year for SGH, Jefferies Says

SGH's (ASX:SGH) fiscal 2027 is shaping up as a flat earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) year with mounting risks given challenging domestic macro and declining WesTrac topline, Jefferies said in a note on Tuesday.

The brokerage cut its estimates for fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2028 EBIT by 4%, translating to earnings-per-share cuts of 7% driven by downgrades to non-industrials segments and higher tax impacts. It forecast flat EBIT for WesTrac in FY27 given pricing headwind in parts and with overall product sales expected to remain flattish.

SGH's management seemed upbeat on residential construction trends in Australia. A more difficult margin environment and increasing competition in WesTrac will lead to muted margin growth opportunities over the next 12 months to 24 months, Jefferies said.

The investment firm assigned it a hold rating on SGH while lowering the price target to AU$43.50 per share from AU$46 per share.
