0016 GMT - GrainCorp's new bull at Macquarie reckons that the Australian grain handler and marketer's valuation is at a cyclical low point. Raising their recommendation on the stock to outperform from neutral, an analyst at the investment bank points out that the 21% share-price decline since GrainCorp's first-half result outpaces the 17% downgrade to the FY27 Ebitda consensus forecast. The analysts writes in a note that recent rains have improved seasonal conditions, while assets including port storage means the company offers infrastructure-like qualities to defensive-minded investors. Macquarie raises its target price by 3.4% to 6.10 Australian dollars. Shares are up 4.0% at A$5.095. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
