ARB 'Significantly' Bolsters US Market Position Over Past Five Years, Jefferies Says

ARB (ASX:ARB) "significantly" bolstered its market position in the US over the past five years despite a poor stock performance, Jefferies said in a Tuesday note.The company's weak stock performance was driven mostly by excessive initial valuation metrics and the weak consumer cycle in Australia.Gross profit margins for the second half of the year are anticipated to be in line with the same period last year, according to Jefferies.Australian aftermarket new vehicle supply of key 4x4 models is lagging behind fiscal 2025, but order book remains healthy, with daily order intake nearing historical highs.The company remains a high-quality, net cash global industrial company despite a tough Australian consumer cycle and a 10% year-to-date decline in sales volumes for new accessorized 4x4/truck units, the financial services firm said.Jefferies maintained its buy rating and AU$25 price target on ARB.ARB shares rose 2% in afternoon trade Tuesday.

ARB' Key Platforms' New Vehicle Sales Data Continue to Deteriorate Year-over-Year, Jarden Says

New vehicle sales data continued to deteriorate across ARB's (ASX:ARB) key platforms on a year-over-year basis, Jarden said in a note on Wednesday.May data shows the recent clear shift towards electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles continues at the expense of internal combustion engine sales, with electric vehicle share hit 20% and total electrified 46% of new car sales.Jarden said it was not convinced ARB's core customer is switching to these electric and hybrid vehicles. Higher interest rates and fuel prices are having a short-term demand impact on diesel vehicles. However, ARB is losing domestic market share to competing four-by-four accessory brands.Toyota is the largest drag on sales data, and much of this is accounted for by supply constraints, which are expected to improve through the second half of the year, and read-through from new vehicle sales is expected to improve from the September quarter onwards.The investment firm retained its neutral rating on ARB and reduced its price target to AU$20.55 per share from AU$20.70 per share.
