Boral (BLD) $4.74

BLD +8.47%: FY results were out for the building materials company, coming in well ahead of the market with a particular surprise on margins. Revenue grew 17% while EBIT more than doubled as EBIT margins climbed from 3.8% to 6.7% for the year.

Boral Ltd (BLD) $4.24

BLD remains one of our least preferred stocks in the sector plus it screens on the expensive side in our opinion requiring further operational improvements to justify a price of ~$4.25 - The company even flagged last month that inflation and cost pressures won’t come down anytime soon.

Boral Ltd (BLD) $3.99

BLD has bounced +68% from its October low although the chart pattern should be largely dismissed due to the significant capital return in 2022. BLD started FY23 with a better-than-expected 1H23 result, albeit with a very low bar following a tough FY22, but we believe the current share price implies significantly more progress is needed and requires Boral to achieve the upper end of its 10-12% EBIT margin target range. Hence the stock is “feeling tired” around the $4 area and we wouldn’t be considering going long at this stage.

Boral Ltd (BLD) $3.91

BLD’s share price has bounced an impressive +58% from its October 2022 low, yet another great example of the elastic band of pessimism stretching way too far, in this case, analysts forecasted rising interest rates would cause havoc in the building industry, and while there have been some painful failures things often don’t end up as bad as many foresee.

Boral (BLD) $3.97

BLD: +12.78%: A big beat from Boral today reporting 1H23 underlying net profit after tax (NPAT) of $57m, a big beat to the $37m consensus. It seems they had success pushing through higher prices while also growing volumes.

2 Boral Ltd (BLD) $3.56

BLD is not a clear-cut picture because of its $2.65 capital return in March but in a similar fashion to JHX the stock has started to regain some investor interest after its significant decline over the last 18 months i.e. some long-term bargain hunters appear to be circling. Boral has been targeting strong price growth which they believe (combined with further cost control) will...

Boral Ltd (BLD) $2.56

Just like Adbri, Boral has been guiding towards strong price growth and which they believe (combined with further cost control) will offset the impact of significant total cost inflation, with energy levels expected to remain elevated. This is a big ‘if’ and as we saw with ABC yesterday, price increases are proving more difficult than first thought, although Boral is now a Kerry Stokes led company and this will give the market some more confidence in what they can achieve on this front.

Boral (BLD) $3.33

BLD -3.48%: provided FY22 guidance for the first time today which disappointed. EBIT is expected to come in between $145-155m for continuing operations for the full year, down from $181m last year. The severe weather events across Australia’s east coast is expected to have a ~$23m impact on earnings with lower volumes. Higher coal and diesel prices are also biting. They currently...
