Medibank Private Loses Department of Defence Contract

Despite a softer-than-expected fiscal 2018 result, our positive view on narrow-moat-rated Medibank Private is intact. Good progress in improving the underlying business impressed with the health insurance operating profit up 8% to AUD 536 million and the health services business, known as Medibank Health, operating profit up 33% to AUD 47 million. The group NPAT margin of 6.4% was modestly below our 6.8% forecast.
Lower-than-expected investment income, a higher tax rate, and higher other expense...
