Boral: Improved Bid Garners Independent Director Approval

Mark Taylor

We increase our Boral fair value estimate by 9% to AUD 5.10 per share. Boral now unanimously recommends that shareholders accept Seven Group’s off-market takeover offer following an increase to the cash component. We consequently think it is highly likely that Seven’s bid will succeed—we are still recommending that Boral shareholders either accept or sell on-market.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

A strong and large pipeline of infrastructure construction projects points to ongoing demand for Boral’s construction materials through the cycle.

Bears

Economic profits generated by Boral’s aggregate quarry operations can be diluted by its downstream operations, which have low barriers to entry and are subject to significantly more competition.

Company Profile

Boral is a vertically integrated construction materials company with operations across aggregates, cement, concrete, and asphalt. Several divestments mean Boral is now an Australia-focused construction materials and property development company. Approximately two thirds of revenue is exposed to infrastructure and nonresidential construction projects such as roads, highways, subdivisions, bridges, and commercial buildings. The balance rests on residential construction activity across detached housing, apartments, and renovations. Boral is just over 70%-owned by Australian industrial services and energy conglomerate Seven Group Holdings Limited.
