Opinion on Blackmores (BKL)

We are considering buying some Blackmores (BKL) shares for our SMSF.

The current price of approx $91 appears a bit overpriced and we would look to get in around $88-$89 if they retreat further.
Your thoughts on the quality and long term prospects for BKL would be appreciated.

A: I can’t quite see the hurry to invest in Blackmores (BKL). It is still trading on a multiple of 25.5x FY19 earnings and 22.9x FY20 earnings. At a recent update in late May, the company confirmed “modest year on year revenue growth” and second half NPAT weaker than the first half.

 

After being a “star” with the brokers and the market, it is now on the outer. According to FN Arena, of the 6 major houses that cover the stock, there are 5 neutral recommendations and 1 sell recommendation. The consensus target price is $86.02 – about 3.5% lower than the last price. Range is a low of $82.50 up to a high of $95.00.
