Macquarie remains bullish on Pexa despite the recommendations of a draft pricing review by Australian state regulators. An analyst at the investment bank calls the recommendations "a kick in the teeth" for the real-estate settlements platform, but reckons the impact may not be as bad as it looks. The analyst writes in a note that the draft report's recommendations imply a headwind of 70 million Australian dollars to Pexa's fiscal 2028 revenue. However, the analyst instead estimates a A$50 million impact on the assumption that either the final report is less aggressive on recommended price cuts, or that Pexa can generate offsetting revenues elsewhere. Macquarie maintains an outperform recommendation on the stock and cuts its target price by 17% to A$16.00. Shares are up 0.3% at A$8.56. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
