PDL – Morgans rates the stock as Hold

The target price rises to $5.95 from $5.65. The broker maintains a Neutral rating.

Pendal Group’s 1H operating profit result was better than Morgans expected and was a 16% beat versus the consensus forecast, driven by tight cost control and a management fee beat.

The result benefitted from the acquired Thompson, Siegal & Walmsley contribution and higher investment income, explains the analyst. The target price rises to $5.95 from $5.65.

The broker maintains a Neutral rating as the outlook remains subdued and on a relative basis risk/reward is more favourable for stocks elsewhere in the sector.

Sector: Diversified Financials.
