0349 GMT - Netwealth's bull at Citi warns that analysts might be setting their fiscal 2026 earnings-margin expectations a bit too high. Analyst Siraj Ahmed cautions that the one negative in the Australian wealth platform's 3Q update was the potential for higher annual costs. He writes in a note that the costs are discretionary and can be managed down if necessary, but he nonetheless sees some risk to analysts' margin expectations. He raises his cost-growth forecast and expects Ebitda margin to be flat at about 50%, compared with an average analyst forecast of 52%. He maintains his buy rating on the stock after Netwealth beat his net-custodial-flow forecast by 3%. Citi lifts its target price by 3.0% to A$27.30. Shares are up 13% at A$25.47.
