Computershare kept its fiscal 2026 management EPS target at roughly 144 US cents per share in its May update, about 6% higher than the previous year. The company also lifted its full-year margin income outlook to around US$740 million. Computershare pointed to bigger average client balances and a 2.37% average weighted yield.
Margin income is still the key short-term driver for the stock as Computershare said client balances kept rising in the second half. The company now sees average client balances for the year coming in US$0.5 billion above its earlier view, with the lift coming from corporate actions.
Computershare said in the update that register maintenance in Issuer Services is steady, while employee share plans are seeing growth in recurring client-paid fee revenue. The company reported Corporate Trust issuance volumes and fee revenues came in higher in the second half than in the same period last year.
Broker calls have stayed split, with no clear bullish trend. Two days ago, MarketIndex said UBS kept its neutral rating on Computershare, setting a A$33.00 price target.
