IRESS (IRE) – A good 1H18 result

Stock

IRESS (ASX:IRE) $13.84 as at 23/08/2018

Event

IRESS (ASX:IRE) was out with their first half 2018 result today and the market sent the stock sharply higher in early trade (+14%). While consensus numbers are brief given it was only a half yearly result, they have produced a very strong outcome in the first 6 months which would imply that the market is now too conservative on full year estimations. For the half, profit was up 8% at $32m. In terms of the outlook, they maintained their current guidance of 3-7% segment profit growth despite the strong first half, however we’d expect some upgrades to full year numbers to flow through on the back of today’s results.

Market Matters Take/Outlook
