Tabcorp (TAH.ASX) will likely see $20m+ in earnings upgrade from the NSW Government’s decision to reverse its ban on greyhound racing from FY18.
FY17 revenue of $2.3b looks flat on the same time last year, with EBIT of $350m and EPS $0.23. Out into FY18 the investment case picks up. FY18 revenue $2.35b, EBIT jumps to $370m on $0.25 of EPS and a forward yield of 5%+. With a relatively high payout ratio and 20x PE, the stock looks slightly expensive and we prefer to be a buyer on a dip back below $5.00

Crown looks attractive at or near $13.00 with gaming revenue picking up in Macau and the pending breakup of the ASX listed Crown business splitting into 3 separate entities, unlocking value for shareholders.
