Bluescope Steel – Algo Buy

ASX:BL is under Algo Engine buy conditions. BSL provided a trading update and now expects EBIT for 2H FY22 to be $1.375-1.475bn.

The more robust outlook is driven by improved earnings expectations for North America with better-than-expected realised steel prices and spreads in the United States.

Based on FY23 earnings we have Bluescope on a 2.3% forward dividend yield.

BHP

Rebasing investor expectations for BHP without the contribution from its petroleum business places the stock on a forward yield of 6% with flat to lower adjusted EPS into FY23.

Iron ore now represents around 50%, Copper 25%, with Coal and Nickel remaining other key exposures. We expect the eventual divestment of its remaining thermal coal assets.

Tabcorp Demerger

Tabcorp split into two businesses yesterday:

  • A wagering business, which will continue to be called Tabcorp (TAH)
  • And a lotteries business, new name The Lottery Corporation (TLC).
