Street View: Australia's Treasury Wine finds relief in luxury portfolio
** Treasury Wine Estates TWE.AX, Australia's leading winemaker, reported in-line FY24 underlying earnings and guided to FY25 growth largely meeting market expectations
** Winemaker is betting on robust demand for its premium and luxury labels, with removal of heavy tariffs in former top market China seen as further tailwind
** TWE shares closed ~2% higher at A$12.350
NO CHEAP BUYERS AS LUXURY WINE DOMINATES
** Brokerages Jefferies and Citi cut price targets on TWE (Jefferies cuts PT to A$15.50/shr from A$16.shr; Citi cuts PT to A$12.97/shr from A$13/shr)
** Morningstar and Citi bullish on TWE's Luxury Wine portfolio, sees segment contributing to group revenue in the near term
** Morningstar sees TWE to face difficulty finding buyers for its commercial brands, Jefferies says it may be "more attractive" for them to accept lower proceeds from buyers
** Morningstar and Jefferies also positive on China reopening for the luxury wines market, although FY24 earnings contributions were minimal
** However, Citi says TWE needs to still navigate a weak consumer market in China, says short-term challenges may "take the shine off the longer term opportunity"
