Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition – Sep 15, 2021

Daily Market Reports | Sep 15 2021

This story features AUCKLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LIMITED, and other companies. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: AIA

FNArena will be updating Special Editions of this Report in September dedicated to the August Reporting Season.

An additional news report on the recommendation, valuation, forecast and opinion changes for ASX-listed equities.

In addition to The Australian Broker Call Report, which is published and updated daily (Mon-Fri), FNArena has now added The Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition, featuring additional sources of research and insights on ASX-listed stocks, also enlarging the number of stocks that make up the FNArena universe.

One key difference is the *Extra* Edition will not be updated daily, but merely "regularly" depending on availability of suitable quality content. As such, the *Extra* Edition tries to build a bridge between daily updates via the Australian Broker Call Report and ad hoc news stories, that are not always timely for investors hungry for the next information update.

Investors using the *Extra* Edition as a source of input for their own share market research should thus take into account that information after publication may not be up to date, or yet awaiting another update by FNArena's team of journalists.

Similar to The Australian Broker Call Report, this *Extra* Edition includes concise but limited reviews of research recently published by Stockbrokers and other experts, which should be considered as information concerning likely market behaviour rather than advice on the securities mentioned. Do not act on the contents of this Report without first reading the important information included at the end of this Report.

The Australian Broker Call *Extra* Edition is a summary that has been prepared independently of the sources identified. Readers will check the full text of the recommendations and consult a Licenced Advisor before making any investment decision.

The copyright of this Report is owned by the publisher. Readers will not copy, forward or disseminate this Report to any other person. For more vital information about the sources included, see the bottom of this Report.

Infrastructure & Utilities – Overnight Price: $7.16

Jarden rates ((AIA)) as Underweight (4) –

Auckland International Airport's reported underlying loss of -NZ$41.8m was in line with guidance and Jarden's forecast. The broker notes results reflect the tough operating environment, with international passengers declining -93% year-on-year and domestic volumes declining -17%.

While the company has not provided an outlook for FY22, it was noted that given current lockdowns total operating expenditure was likely to be at the lower end of the previously guided -NZ$160-175m. 

Jarden expects property business to remain the core earnings driver for the next year, with the company expecting to spend NZ$50.5-64.2m in property development in FY22.

The Underweight rating and target price of NZ$6.60 are retained.

ASX    ASX LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $83.34

Jarden rates ((ASX)) as Underweight (2) –

ASX's FY21 profit after tax of $481m was largely in line with estimates, and a 1% beat on Jarden's forecast, while underlying earnings were 2% ahead of expectations.

Looking ahead, Jarden notes its 4% earnings per share growth outlook for FY22 may fall to 1% given risk to Futures volume recovery. Jarden had previously forecast 10% recovery in Futures volumes, but current lockdowns present risk to this assumption. 

The broker updates earnings per share guidance by 1.5%, 0.1% and -1.2% through to FY24. The Underweight rating is retained and the target price increases to $76.50 from $74.95.

AVN    AVENTUS GROUP

REITs – Overnight Price: $3.36

Goldman Sachs rates ((AVN)) as Buy (1) –

While Aventus Group has not provided FY22 earnings guidance due to covid uncertainty, Goldman Sachs' positive view remains based on development upside in the group's portfolio, the operating portfolio’s relative strength, and a solid balance sheet with gearing below the target 30-40% range.

Goldman Sachs continues to believe the group is relatively well-positioned in the current environment, given that its large format retail portfolio derives 37% of income from everyday needs tenants and the remainder from homewares, electrical, furniture, bedding, and hardware, all of which the broker expect to continue to perform relatively well.

Buy Rating is maintained and the target price increases to $3.40 from $3.26.

This report was published on August 18, 2021.

Target price is $3.40 Current Price is $3.36 Difference: $0.04

Moelis rates ((AVN)) as Sell (5) –

Following Aventus Group's FY21 result, which was in line with revised guidance provided in June, Moelis estimates the group can deliver earnings per share (EPS) growth in FY22, despite pending covid risks, translating to an FY22 distribution per unit (DPU) yield of 5.3%.

Driven by a $297m net valuation uplift with the weighted average credit rating compressing -72bps in FY21, to 6.01%, net tangible assets increased to $2.69 from $2.24 in December 2020.

Moelis notes while ongoing sector tailwinds will remain supportive, and sector cap rates continue firming, the broker views these as being more than priced into the current share price.

Sell rating is maintained, and the target price increases to $2.97 from $2.90.

This report was released on August 19, 2021.

Target price is $2.97 Current Price is $3.36 Difference: minus $0.39 (current price is over target).

AX1    ACCENT GROUP LIMITED

Apparel & Footwear – Overnight Price: $2.05

Bell Potter rates ((AX1)) as Buy (1) –

While online is providing some cushioning,  Accent Group's trading update for the first 7 weeks of first-half FY22 showed like-for-like sales (including store closures) down -16%, observes Bell Potter.

Lockdowns are expected to slow the rebalance of stock levels, but at the same time, Bell Potter believes having excess inventory is a preferred position ahead of the key December quarter given the underlying global supply chain risks.

The company recently disclosed that it is in process of landlord negotiations to work out the appropriate rent terms during lockdowns, hence containing first half FY22 rent cash outlay to a fair level.

Having cut first-half FY22 estimates to reflect lockdown impacts, the broker's FY22 earnings estimates fall by -21%, yet there is no material change in FY23/FY24.

Buy rating is unchanged and the target price is lowered to $2.90 from $3.30.

This report was published on August 20, 2021.

Target price is $2.90 Current Price is $2.05 Difference: $0.85

BLX    BEACON LIGHTING GROUP LIMITED

Furniture & Renovation – Overnight Price: $2.05

Jarden rates ((BLX)) as Buy (2) –

Despite a tough fourth quarter, Beacon Lighting reported a 85% year-on-year profit after tax increase to $37.7m, which Jarden notes was a slight beat on guidance and the broker's forecast. Group sales also increased 13.3% on the previous year to around $289m. 

The broker highlights the strong result despite lockdowns demonstrates the model and management quality. Given ongoing lockdowns, Jarden has lowered FY22 earnings forecast by -6.2%, and expects sales to normalise to pre-covid levels by FY24.

BOT    BOTANIX PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $0.07

Euroz Hartleys rates ((BOT)) as Speculative Buy (2) –

Euroz Hartleys is initiating coverage of Botanix Pharmaceuticals Ltd with a Speculative Buy recommendation and a target price of $0.17.

Botanix Pharmaceuticals is a clinical stage synthetic cannabinoid pharmaceutical company which the broker believes is planning to make its mark in major global markets in dermatology and antimicrobials with four individual clinical programs.

Assuming the individual programs are ultimately clinically successful, the broker expects the potential upside for the company is huge.

While Euroz Hartleys suspects the market is pricing in unsuccessful outcomes, the broker's initial assessment into the company’s programs and clinical studies suggests otherwise.

With an enterprise value of $50m, the broker argues there is a very promising risk-to-reward case.

Target price is $0.17 Current Price is $0.07 Difference: $0.1
If BOT meets the Euroz Hartleys target it will return approximately 143% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

BXB    BRAMBLES LIMITED

Transportation & Logistics – Overnight Price: $11.24

Jarden rates ((BXB)) as Buy (2) –

Brambles has reported underlying earnings of US$879m for FY21, against a backdrop of strong revenue growth. 

Jarden particularly noted Brambles was able to meet guidance to increase US Pallets' underlying earnings margins by 100 basis points, despite cost inflation and an increase in IPEP charges, the majority of which came from a -$60m increase in surcharges.

Given expected higher capital expenditure, including -$180m in deferred capital expenditure now set to be added to FY22 results, as well as higher depreciation and amortisation in the next year, Jarden's earnings per share forecasts remain largely unchanged despite an increase in top-line forecasts.

The broker awaits a clearer outlook following the company's strategy day in September. The Overweight rating is retained and the target price increases to $12.75 from $11.85.

Wilsons rates ((COH)) as Market Weight (3) –

Overall, Cochlear's volumes have recovered with cochlear implants around 10% up on pre-covid levels while the mix (paediatrics/adults) has restored to norms, Wilsons observes.

Goldman Sachs rates ((DMP)) as Buy (1) –

Apart from the strong topline performance, Goldman Sachs believes the revised growth outlook was a major positive from Domino's Pizza's FY21 result, with store growth targets increasing by circa 20% including Taiwan, and with rollout momentum in Europe and Japan expected to remain at record levels.

Mining Sector Contracting – Overnight Price: $1.15

Bell Potter rates ((EHL)) as Buy (1) –

Following Emeco Holdings' "mixed" FY21 result, Bell Potter believes resilient east coast coal markets and underlying strength in gold and iron ore contribute to the strong expectation of improving utilisation across FY22.

The broker's updated outlook results in minor revisions to underlying earnings per share (EPS) estimates for FY22 and FY23 respectively.

Bell Potter has also revised cash flow for the higher sustaining capex expectations, plus -$10-15m of growth capex for Pit N Portal.

The broker believes the company's robust balance sheet, heightened free cash flow profile, underutilised asset base, and mixed commodity exposure is undervalued at market prices.

The Buy rating and the target price of $1.55 are retained.

This report was published on August 20, 2021.

Moelis rates ((EHL)) as Buy (1) –

Following Emeco Holdings’ FY21 earnings of $238m, at top end of guidance and in line, the company noted that while no quantitative guidance was provided it was comfortable with current consensus FY22 operating earnings ($262m).

Moelis' favourable investment view is based on commodity price strength which supports a growth outlook and utilisation recovery. 

Moelis notes while gold is now the company's largest exposure at 37% FY21 revenue, the eastern region comprises 70-80% of rental earnings and historically had strong leverage to coal prices.

The broker believes the recent strong recovery in coal prices could be a potential driver of utilisation recovery and earnings growth.

With the company trading on a 6.8x enterprise multiple, a -25% discount to its peer average of 9.0x, Moelis believes the company's valuation remains attractive.

Moelis maintains the Buy rating and the target increases to $1.81 from $1.50.

INA    INGENIA COMMUNITIES GROUP

Aged Care & Seniors – Overnight Price: $6.38

Goldman Sachs rates ((INA)) as Neutral (3) –

While Ingenia Communities Group has not provided FY22 guidance given ongoing restrictions along the east coast of Australia, Goldman Sachs notes the start to the year has been positive with 34 homes settled year-to-date and a strong pipeline of 330 homes deposited and contracted versus around 200 at beginning of FY21.

Due to a disrupted near-term outlook for holidays, the broker cuts the FY22 earning per share (EPS) forecast by -1.5%, however, higher medium-term settlements drive a 4.8% upgrade to FY23 EPS.

The broker notes acquisition remains a key element of Ingenia’s growth strategy and believes the company has reasonable headroom to reach its target.

Moelis rates ((INA)) as Hold (3) –

Despite projecting 10% year-on-year growth in settlement volumes, Moelis expects Ingenia Communities Group's development earnings to only grow by 5% in FY22.

This is due to a change in the project mix towards lower price-point projects such as Harvey Bay in QLD, which the broker notes should keep overall development earnings margins flat.

The broker notes the group provides exposure to a growing defensive-growth annuity stream and network of holiday parks leveraged to strong underlying demand for domestic travel.

Overall, Moelis expects earnings per share (EPS) compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9% between FY21-24 based on the group's growing settlements profile and earnings contributions from acquisitions.

The Hold rating is retained and the target price increases to $6.47 from $5.89.

ING    INGHAMS GROUP LIMITED

Food, Beverages & Tobacco – Overnight Price: $4.10

Goldman Sachs rates ((ING)) as Buy (1) –

While covid is expected to continue to present challenges for first half FY22, Goldman Sachs believes Ingham Group's successful track record in handling the pandemic over the last 18 months means the company is well equipped to manage any disruption going forward.

The broker notes that retail, which is by far the group's biggest channel, should continue to display strong demand in FY22.

While working capital management has been strong over the half, the broker suspects that improving inventories may be compromised by further lockdown measures, plus any underlying weakening in wholesale and QSR channels.

While no FY22 earnings guidance has been provided, the broker has marginally upgraded FY22/FY23 earnings per share (EPS) estimates.

The Buy rating and the target price of $4.50 are retained.

Bell Potter rates ((IRI)) as Hold (3) –

Integrated Research's FY21 net profit was down -67% but was 9% above Bell Potter's forecast due largely to lower forex losses than the broker was expecting.

Lifestyle Communities' FY21 result was in line with the guidance provided in July, and the company has guided to 1100-1300 new home settlements between FY22-FY24.

While the plan remains to add two new sites per year, Canaccord Genuity notes the sites are becoming larger.

As a result, the broker has increased assumptions in the future pipeline to 225 homes per community and this has increased the future assumed pipeline to 4,500 homes, an uplift of 40%.

Goldman Sachs rates ((LIC)) as Buy (1) –

Goldman Sachs expects Lifestyle Communities' strong 3-year guidance for FY22-FY24 new home settlements and resales to drive materially higher annuity rental and deferred management fee (DMF) earnings over the long term.

The broker expects the upsizing of the debt facility by $100m to $375m will allow for further property acquisitions, ultimately driving a faster pace of new home settlements, leading to a larger rental and DMF annuity.

The broker notes while FY22 and FY23 earnings per share (EPS) changes appear minor, resales and rental income have been upgraded circa 12% which has been offset by slightly lower development margins due to mix.

MMM    MARLEY SPOON AG

Consumer Products & Services – Overnight Price: $1.78

Wilsons rates ((MMM)) as Overweight (1) –

While Marley Spoon delivered a "mixed" second half FY21 result, Wilsons is impressed with sales growth (up 36%) offset by higher costs, as recently outlined in the second quarter FY21 result.

During the half, revenue increased 36% on the previous period, while an earnings loss of -EUR15.6m was significantly greater than the -EUR2.2m loss in first half FY20, due to contribution margin compression, plus higher marketing and general and admin expense.

Marley Spoon confirmed guidance for 2021 revenue growth of 30-35% and a margin of 29%.

Wilsons continues to see significant upside to forecasts if the current trajectory of revenue growth continues.

Gold & Silver – Overnight Price: $24.47

Goldman Sachs rates ((NCM)) as Buy (1) –

While Newcrest Mining's FY22 guidance was softer than Goldman Sachs' expectations, especially due to higher than expected all-in costs at key assets, higher capex, gold and copper production guidance were in line with the broker's previous estimates at the group level.

NWL    NETWEALTH GROUP LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $14.59

Goldman Sachs rates ((NWL)) as Neutral (3) –

Goldman Sachs notes the three key outlook items flagged by Netweath Group include funds under advice (FUA) net flows guidance for FY22 of circa $10bn, while the group is not expecting material change to the admin fee margin in FY22, with the impact of recent repricing now in the base.

The broker also notes the group will strategically step up its investment in people and tech over FY22, after which growth in expenses will normalise in FY23.

On balance, Goldman Sachs downgrades FY22-23 earnings per share (EPS) by -5.4% and -1.3% respectively, and also introduces FY24 estimates.

Goldman Sachs notes downgrades are primarily a function of slightly higher admin fee margins based on recent outlook comments, against a rebased expense profile where the broker now forecast a -3% reduction in earnings margin into FY22.

As expected, Goldman Sachs notes OZ Minerals approved the Prominent Hill underground expansion to 6Mtpa while capex has increased by circa 30% to $600m due to scope changes and industry cost inflation.

PME    PRO MEDICUS LIMITED

Medical Equipment & Devices – Overnight Price: $58.85

Bell Potter rates ((PME)) as Hold (3) –

Pro Medicus' FY21 revenue of $68m implies 19% growth on the previous year, and 35% growth in the second half. The company also reported earnings margin improvement to 62%.

It is Bell Potter's view that Pro Medicus continues to be attractive, highlighting the company's demonstrated ability to leverage earnings potential, having increased revenue by $20m in the last two years while increasing cash operating expenses only by -$1.3m, and a strong customer base that includes 9 of the top 20 US hospitals.

Looking forward, the broker notes the company has a full pipeline, including at least two contracts signed in FY21 that are yet to be implemented. Bell Potter expects the company will deliver solid revenue and earnings growth in FY22. 

The Hold rating is retained and the target price increases to $62.00.

This report was published on August 19, 2021.

Moelis rates ((PME)) as Downgrade to Sell from Hold (5) –

While no quantified guidance was provided following Pro Medicus' FY21 underlying net profit result, which was 4% ahead of consensus, the company noted that despite record contract wins in FY21, the pipeline remains "healthy" in terms of both quality and quantity.

Moelis believes strong growth in FY22 is largely underwritten by the 5 large US contracts already announced in FY21. With a healthy pipeline of opportunities and an increased demand for cloud-based solutions (allowing more rapid deployment), the broker assumes the company will win another 3 large contracts in FY22, which will contribute to second half FY22.

From FY23 and beyond Moelis assumes the company will achieve $22.5m pa from new contracts.

The broke estimates -5% earnings per share (EPS) reductions capture costs returning in FY22, while outer years earnings estimates increase to capture 30% peak penetration.

Moelis downgrades Pro Medicus to Sell from Hold with the target increasing to $51.61 from $47.17.

This report was published on August 18, 2021.

PPT    PERPETUAL LIMITED

Wealth Management & Investments – Overnight Price: $41.52

Jarden rates ((PPT)) as Downgrade to Underweight from Overweight (2) –

It is Jarden's view that Perpetual's sizeable cost growth guidance and continued Barrow Hanley outflows in FY22 are likely to hamper short-term earnings.

The company is guiding to cost growth of 17-21%, above Jarden's 13% growth forecast, given higher-than-expected distributed team spend. 

Additionally, Jarden estimates Barrow Hanley will experience outflows of -9% in the next year. Jarden updates earnings per share forecasts by -21%, -8% and 4% through to FY24. 

Despite the FY22 outlook, Perpetual's profit after tax for FY21 of $124m was in line with Jarden's forecast. 

The rating is downgraded to Underweight from Overweight and the target price decreases to $36.75 from $39.15.

Healthcare services – Overnight Price: $2.51

Wilsons rates ((PSQ)) as Overweight (1) –

Pacific Smiles Group reported solid FY21 results, including a 73% increase in net profit after tax to $14m, but Wilsons notes the intensity and longevity of the delta outbreak in New South Wales in likely to impact profitability in the first half of FY22.

While previous lockdowns would suggest quick volume returns when restrictions ease, given the absence of JobKeeper this year, the broker decreases profitability forecasts. 

Wilsons notes its -11% earnings per share forecast decrease for FY23 could be conservative as it is yet to reflect the company's accelerated rollout plans. 

The Overweight rating is retained and the target price decreases to $2.75 from $2.95.

Canaccord is drawn to the benefits flowing from LeasePlan plus what the broker deems to be strengthening operating conditions for fleet managers, supported by a sharp recovery in Australian new car sales and the group confirming strong growth in its leads and order pipeline.

The broker further highlighted Super Retail is well positioned to navigate lockdowns, with a strong net cash position of $242.3m at the end of FY21.

Following the modest beat in results, Bell Potter increases earnings per share forecasts by 1.7%, 0.8% and 0.3% through to FY24.

SXL    SOUTHERN CROSS MEDIA GROUP LIMITED

Print, Radio & TV – Overnight Price: $2.13

Canaccord Genuity rates ((SXL)) as Buy (1) –

While Southern Cross Media Group delivered a beat on earnings, lower net debt, strongly growing digital audio revenues, and the return of a strong dividend in FY21, Canaccord Genuity is mindful of tougher competition through the balance of FY22.

The broker notes there are set to be numerous moving parts between the group's FY21 and FY22, notably the lower revenue from the regional TV affiliate switch, offset by the lower payaway.

Canaccord expects around $40m of non-repeat cost benefits to roll out of non-revenue related costs, together with investment in Digital Audio, CPI increases, and reversals of other temporary costs. The broker estimate overheads will increase from $245m in FY21 to $306m in FY22.

Overall, the broker's revenue and total costs forecasts come down by -11% each, resulting in an -8% lower FY22 earnings forecast, with similar changes in FY23.

The Buy rating is unchanged and the price target decreases to $2.50 from $2.70.

Crude Oil – Overnight Price: $3.39

Following the FY21 result, broadly in line with Bell Potter estimates, Senex Energy is guiding to further strong growth in FY22.

Production guidance is up 27%, while earnings guidance of $75-85m, up 47%, is weaker than Bell Potter had previously expected, as the outlook for realised prices proved different.

Jarden rates ((SXY)) as Buy (1) –

Senex Energy has reported underlying earnings for FY21 of $57m and profit after tax of $5.4m. Jarden notes the final dividend of 5 cents per share was surprisingly strong.

Looking ahead, the company is guiding to production of 21-23 petajoules and underlying earnings of $75-85m for FY22, both in line with the broker's expectations.

Jarden notes free cash flow guidance of $50-60m is now at the upper end of previous guidance despite oil hedging losses in the year, which is largely attributed to sustained capital expenditure guidance now -50% below prior expectations. 

It is Jarden's view that Senex Energy has a clear path to doubling current production to 36 petajoules per annum by the end of FY23, and considers the company a relatively low-risk investment. 

The Buy rating and target price of $4.15 are retained.

TAH    TABCORP HOLDINGS LIMITED

Gaming – Overnight Price: $4.85

Goldman Sachs rates ((TAH)) as Buy (1) –

While current lockdowns are a headwind for Tabcorp Holdings' retail wagering and gaming services business, Goldman Sachs notes this is partly offset by tailwinds for its digital Lotteries and wagering businesses.

The broker expects the company's -$20-25m in earnings savings from its optimisation program in FY22 to cushion lockdown headwinds.

Goldman Sachs believes management comments underpin the broker's thesis that OzLotto game changes will likely be approved towards the back end of FY22, which the broker expects to provide a meaningful tailwind for FY23 earnings.

Goldman Sachs makes minor earnings changes across FY22-23 and introduces FY24 estimates.

TLX    TELIX PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED

Pharmaceuticals & Biotech/Lifesciences – Overnight Price: $6.87

Bell Potter rates ((TLX)) as Downgrade to Hold from Buy (3) –

While there was no significant trading update accompanying Telix Pharmaceuticals' first half FY21 earnings announcement, Bell Potter suspects all eyes are now on FDA approval of Illuccix for the imaging of recurrent prostate cancer which is due in September.

The broker notes a further 16 countries are also likely to approve the drug this calendar year.

The company has notional cash of $61m which the broker believes is more than sufficient to support ongoing operations. 

Following the recent share price movement, Bell Potter downgrades Telix Pharmaceuticals to Hold from Buy and the target price is unchanged at $8.00.

This report was issued August 20, 2021.

TPG    TPG TELECOM LIMITED

Telecommunication – Overnight Price: $6.48

Goldman Sachs rates ((TPG)) as Neutral (3) –

Following TPG Telecom's first-half FY21 result, highlighted by a disappointing revenue trend, but including a cost control-driven earnings beat, the company provided no guidance. Management did re-iterate its previous 2021 and 2023 synergy targets.

With the intention of maximising shareholder return, the company announced a strategic review of its 1,200 owned mobile sites (towers plus rooftops).

Goldman Sachs notes in the TPG/Vodafone scheme booklet, Vodafone disclosed ownership of 467 mobile sites. This suggests to the broker that either the 1,200 sites will include TPG 400 small cells, or that there has been significant construction activity since merger completion.

Neutral rating is maintained, and the price target is increased to $6.30 from $6.20.

This report was published on August 20, 2021. 

Target price is $6.30 Current Price is $6.48 Difference: minus $0.18 (current price is over target).

VCX    VICINITY CENTRES

REITs – Overnight Price: $1.72

Goldman Sachs rates ((VCX)) as Buy (1) –

Goldman Sachs believes Vicinity Centres is positioned to weather any further uncertainty related to the prolonged covid impacted environment.

The broker believes this is especially so given its low gearing enables the company to absorb further asset devaluations and fund medium/long-term large-scale mixed-use developments post-covid.

However, the broker notes the operating environment remains challenging, particularly in NSW & Voictoria where 75%-80% of tenants are not trading.

The company did not provide FY22 earnings guidance due to the uncertainty around the covid delta variant outbreak, but Goldman Sachs notes management's plans to target a distribution based on an adjusted funds from operations payout ratio of 95%-100%.

The Buy rating is unchanged and the target price is lowered -2% to $1.77.

This report was published on August 18, 2021. 

Target price is $1.77 Current Price is $1.72 Difference: $0.05
If VCX meets the Goldman Sachs target it will return approximately 3% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).
Current consensus price target is $1.64, suggesting downside of -4.6%(ex-dividends)

WPL    WOODSIDE PETROLEUM LIMITED

NatGas – Overnight Price: $20.81

Goldman Sachs rates ((WPL)) as No Rating (-1) –

As highlighted by Goldman Sachs recently, the outlook for Woodside Petroleum is driven by the planned delivery of the Scarborough project with the final investment decision (FID) targeted by the end of 2021 as well as the progress on the proposed merger of the portfolio with BHP Petroleum by second quarter 2022.

Total expenditure guidance is unchanged at -US$2.9-3.2bn, and full-year trading costs including Corpus Christi are expected at -US$1.1-1.3bn.

Management commentary confirmed this implies traded LNG volumes are expected to nearly double in the second half, although it also highlighted the trading increase as opportunistic on market conditions and may not carry forward.

As a result of the higher trading activity, the broker expects 25% of LNG sales volumes to come from trading in 2021, up from 7% in 2020.

Goldman Sachs is currently not rated on Woodside.
