Tabcorp has been a “high conviction” buy idea, following the recent Algo buy Signal at $4.20. The high conviction was based on the benefits of the Tatts merger showing up in the FY18 earnings results.
Yesterday, TAH reported FY18 earnings slightly ahead of consensus and importantly reaffirmed synergy guidance of “at least $130m”.
FY18 EBITDA came in at $736m & allowing for 5% growth into FY19 we now have the stock on a forward yield of 5%.
We now consider the stock full value and recommend investors lock in profit or sell covered call options.
