Jefferies keeps a Hold rating
Markets Insider reported on October 20, 2026 that Jefferies analyst Andrew Lyons maintained a Hold rating and set an AUD 34.99 price target. Against the ASX close of AUD 36.79, that target is 5.14 percent below the share price. The target therefore offers a concrete counterpoint to the 3.11 percent daily rise.
