Orica – Valuation Review

Posted on | by Leon Hinde

Orica is under Algo Engine buy conditions and is a current holding in our ASX 100 model portfolio.

FY21 revenue is likely to remain flat at $5.8bn and EBIT is forecast to increase 3-5% to $630mn. This supports a forward yield of 2.8%.

Earnings are likely to be well supported due to higher volumes and the strength in the mining industry, especially from the gold mining market.

Earnings may surprise to the upside and we continue to hold ORI into the next earnings release.

Goldman Sachs raised $500 million in acquisition funding for ORI via an institutional placement.

Algo Update – Orica Short

Posted on | by Leon Hinde

Last week on the blog we looked at the short signal on Orica leading into their earnings result.

1H18 earnings were announced yesterday and they disappointed, with a 37% drop on the same time last year.

NPAT of $124m where as consensus was looking for $149m.

The share price dropped over 5% and reached an intra-day low of $18.70 before recovering to $19.00.

This was a very popular “short” CFD trade on our SAXO Go trading platform;  we suggest taking profits on the short ORI position near the $19.00 area.
