It's all fun and games with Ardent Leisure, as long as the discretionary spending cycle holds up.

We retain our AUD 2.00 fair value estimate on Ardent Leisure, despite dreary fiscal 2018 earnings estimates released ahead of the Aug. 22 reporting date.
The likely AUD 86 to 94 million net loss at the reported level is ugly, reflecting another AUD 89 million in second-half pretax nonrecurring impairments mainly related to slow-recovering Dreamworld (AUD 52 million) and underperforming U.S. Main Event centres (AUD 40 million). However, fiscal 2018 was always heading for an ugly end and who can ...

Morningstar | Ardent Leisure Requires Ardent Patience

We maintain our AUD 2.00 fair value estimate on Ardent Leisure, despite the underwhelming fiscal 2019 first-half result showing slower-than-expected progress in earnings recovery. Theme Parks' underlying EBITDA loss of AUD 5 million was worse than the AUD 1 million loss suffered a year ago, and starkly contrasts with the 24% EBITDA growth achieved by competitor Village Roadshow's Gold Coast theme parks in the first half. The 4% drop in attendance was particularly disappointing. The coronial inquiry during the half may have adversely impacted. However, consumers' negative perception of Ardent'...

Astra Posts Solid 2Q, Driven by Strong Cancer Drug Sales and Moving Away From One-Time Divestments

We don't expect any major changes to our AstraZeneca fair value estimate following second-quarter results that largely fell in line with our expectations and slightly ahead of consensus expectations. Overall, the company is posting leading Big Pharma sales growth with total sales up 18% operationally year over year, led by impressive cancer drug sales growth of 57%. Astra's ability to continue to bring next generation drugs to the market that address unmet medical need (especially in oncology) s...
