GEM Will Reflect Moderated Revenue Prospects And Softer Margins Ahead

Analysts have trimmed their price target on G8 Education to reflect a fair value reduction to approximately 0.72 Australian dollars from about 0.90, citing slightly higher perceived risk, more muted revenue growth expectations and softer profit margin forecasts, which are partially offset by a modestly higher future earnings multiple. Valuation Changes Fair Value: reduced notably from A$0.90 to A$0.72 per share, implying a lower central valuation estimate.
