CSL – 250% Gain

CSL has now shifted to sell conditions after being in our model portfolios since May 2015. With dividends, the stock has increased by 250%.

CSL has raised its full year profit guidance to between 3% – 8%, despite warnings of higher plasma costs. The lower end of guidance had previously been zero.

Full-year FY21 is now expected to be between $2.2bn and $2.26bn. We continue to see reliable earnings growth for CSL, however, the 40x multiple may prove to be too rich in the short-term.

CSL – Buy

CSL is under Algo Engine buy conditions and is a current holding in our ASX 100 model portfolio.

CSL & the Australian Government signed a Heads of Agreement to supply 51mn doses of the University of Queensland’s COVID-19 vaccine.

CSL & AstraZeneca also signed a Heads of Agreement for manufacture & distribution of 30mn doses of AZN’s COVID-19 vaccine (AZD1222).

We expect EPS to increase by 8 – 10% in FY21 and FY22. This supports a forward dividend yield of 1.1%.

Buy CSL within the $265 – $280 support range.

Buy Healthcare Names: CSL, RMD & SHL

Our Algo Engine has triggered buy signals in Sonic Healthcare, Resmed and CSL over the past few trading sessions.

RMD has experienced its first sell-off since rallying from $10 last year to $16 only a few weeks ago.

The ALGO engine is now flagging the new “higher low” at $14 and we suggest buying a 1/2 size allocation here and then waiting to see if we get another ALGO signal to add to the position.

CSL provides good long-term fundamentals. The PE is still expensive, however, 10 – 20% EPS growth is attractive! Accumulate at $180

SHL looks to be good value at $23. We see resistance is $25, so look to sell call options to enhance the return.

CSL Shares Firm On Stronger Guidance

Shares of CSL are 1% higher at $185.00 in early trade as the company announced stronger profit guidance for FY 2018.

The updated guidance has been lifted from the previous USD 1.55 to 1.6 billion range to  a USD 1.68 to 1.710 billion target.

Better than expected sales of several of their cornerstone pharmaceutical brands have supported this profit upgrade.

Despite trading near all-time highs, recent research notes have raised their medium-term price target to $190.00.

CSL is the best performing stock in our ASX Top 20 portfolio. It was first placed in the model on January 5th, 2015 at $90.00 and has gained over 105% since then.
