6 ASX All Ords shares lifted to 'strong buy' status
Telstra Group Ltd (ASX: TLS)
Analysts upgraded their consensus rating on Telstra shares to a strong buy on 23 December.
The Telstra share price is $4.02, up 0.25%.
Goldman Sachs has a buy rating on Telstra with a 12-month share price target of $4.50. This implies a potential 12% upside for investors in 2025.
In a new note, analysts Kate Hannan and Annabel Li discussed the recent sale of Foxtel to global sports streaming platform, DAZN for $3.4 billion.
Under the deal, Telstra will also sell its minority stake in Foxtel. It will receive $128 million in cash to repay a loan, as well as an approximate 3% shareholding in DAZN.
Hannan and Li explained their buy rating on Telstra shares:
We believe the low risk earnings (and dividend) growth that Telstra is delivering across FY22-25, underpinned through its mobile business, is attractive.
We also believe that Telstra has a meaningful medium term opportunity to crystallise value through commencing the process to monetize its InfraCo Fixed assets — which we estimate could be worth between A$22-33bn.
