Brambles ( (AU:BXB) ) just unveiled an update.
Brambles Limited has received a Federal Court judgment in long-running class action proceedings brought by shareholders over alleged misleading or deceptive conduct and breaches of continuous disclosure obligations tied to its FY17 earnings guidance and FY19 medium‑term targets. The Court dismissed most claims but upheld certain allegations relating to Underlying Profit and sales revenue growth guidance over specific periods between November 2016 and January 2017.
The logistics group is now reviewing the 1,200‑page decision to assess possible grounds for appeal, while noting that the total potential damages remain uncertain and cannot yet be reliably quantified. Although Brambles has insurance in place, the ultimate financial impact will only be known after damages are assessed and any appeals are resolved, leaving investors and other stakeholders facing a period of legal and financial uncertainty.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:BXB) stock is a Hold with a A$25.40 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Brambles stock, see the AU:BXB Stock Forecast page.
