  • Bell Potter predicts 180% gain for Trajan Group on ASX despite currency challenges
    May 27, 2026, 6:53 PM EDT. Bell Potter recommends buying Trajan Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: TRJ), forecasting a potential 180% share price increase over the next 12 months. The company, a developer of analytical science instruments for the global life sciences market, faces near-term earnings pressure due to a stronger Australian dollar impacting revenue and EBITDA by approximately A$4 million and A$2 million respectively. Trajan is implementing cost-saving measures, including headcount reductions and a new ERP system to enhance supply chain efficiency. Bell Potter lowered its price target to 75 cents from $1.05 but retained a buy rating, citing expected margin improvements needed for significant share gains. The target price reflects a blend of discounted cash flow (DCF) and earnings multiples, with adjustments made for increased risks and lower estimates.
