Life Time Likely to Post Softer Net Adds in Q1, RBC Capital Markets Says

-- Life Time (LTH) is likely to post softer net membership additions in fiscal Q1 due to the company's low-price 3p membership churn, RBC Capital Markets said in a Monday research note. The company is due to report results on May 5.

For Q1, RBC said it expects net adds of 13,000 compared with Street's estimates of 21,000, but the quarter-to-date net adds are unlikely to be impacted by the Middle East conflict. It reiterated its revenue and EBITDA forecasts for 2026 and 2027.

The 3p membership churn is at a lower rate than 1p membership, and the overall impact on the model is expected to be negligible, analysts wrote.

RBC reiterated its outperform rating on the stock and price target of $38.

Challenger's Fiscal 2026 Q3 Update Missed Consensus Across Key Life Metrics, Jarden Says

Challenger's (ASX:CGF) fiscal 2026 third-quarter update missed consensus across key Life metrics, with FM outflows significantly worse than expected, driven by institutional equity mandate attrition in both Australian and global equities, according to a Tuesday note by Jarden.The firm's redemption of all CGFPC notes on May 25 simplifies the capital structure, reduces the AT1 coupon burden, and is earnings-per-share accretive.Jarden sees balanced risk/reward for Challenger in the future, with catalysts including capital management flexibility from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority reform, as well as expanding retirement partnerships across superfunds.It lowered its fiscal 2026 sales forecast to reflect weaker institutional fixed-term sales, partially offset by higher retail annuity sales as partnerships come online.The investment firm retained its neutral rating on Challenger and raised the price target to AU$8.70 per share from AU$8.60 per share.
