2223 GMT - Pathology services provider Healius's target of a high-single-digit Ebit margin by FY 2027 looks ambitious to Jefferies. Healius expects to reach this goal through a mix of revenue and cost initiatives. However, analyst David Stanton forecasts Healius achieving a 4.4% margin in FY 2028. "Growth in Ebit margin is not expected to be linear in the timeframe--we believe it is likely to be back-ended," Jefferies says. "We estimate that low-end to high-end targets imply FY 2028 Pathology Ebit margins of 7.0% to 8.6%." (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
