AGL Energy has committed to a complete exit from coal by 2035, ten years ahead of its previous target.
Credit Suisse reports a -$20bn investment in 6.5 gigawatts of renewables and 5.5 gigawatts of storage investment by 2035 will replace around 7 gigawatts of coal capacity and 60% of energy operations.
The broker estimates AGL Energy will require -$400m annually through to 2030 to sustain announced projects, equating to a -$200m increase of growth capital expenditure in the next year.
Credit Suisse expects free cash flow to remain strong, and updates its net profit assumption -6.5% and 11.0% in FY23 and FY24.
The rating is upgraded to Outperform and the target price of $8.20 is retained.
Target price is $8.20 Current Price is $6.60 Difference: $1.6
If AGL meets the Credit Suisse target it will return approximately 24% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Macquarie rates AGL as No Rating (-1) -
AGL Energy's coal exit includes an earlier closure of its Loy Yang A, brought forward to 2035 from 2045. Macquarie highlights the earlier closure results in a -$0.7bn net profit loss, but sees potential that the closure could come even sooner if the transition picks up pace.
The company has set a target of 3.3 gigawatts renewable and 1.7 gigawatts firming by 2030, and 6.5 renewable and 5.5 firming by 2036. The broker expects 2030 targets can be comfortably funded from cash flow.

Morgan Stanley rates AGL as Equal-weight (3) -
While FY23 guidance by AGL Energy was subdued, Morgan Stanley notes it was within expectations.
The company intends to exit coal generation by the end of FY35 and the broker views the 12-year replacement plan positively.
The plan involves -$20bn of capex (the company's share will be lower) compared to the -$5bn spent over the last 20 years.
Industry view is Cautious. Stock-specific view: Equal-weight. Target $8.01.
Target price is $8.01 Current Price is $6.60 Difference: $1.41

Morgans rates AGL as Add (1) -
Morgans feels it is a sound decision by AGL Energy to bring forward the closure of Loy Yang A by -10 years to 2035, given inflexible brown coal plants will struggle as more variable renewables enter the grid.
Management also raised FY23 earnings guidance and the broker raises its earnings (EBITDA) forecasts for FY24 onwards due to the continued strength of electricity futures prices.
The analyst expects these strong futures prices will drive higher customer pricing and gross margins for an extended period. The Add rating is unchanged, while the target rises to $8.81 from $8.63.
Target price is $8.81 Current Price is $6.60 Difference: $2.21
If AGL meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 33% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Ord Minnett rates AGL as Buy (1) -
A strategy update from AGL Energy has focused on changes to long-dated generation plans, with the company bringing forward closure of its Victoria Loy Yang A plant to 2035 and committing -$20bn in new generation investment to replace it.
Given the long-dated nature of these plans Ord Minnett expects they are at risk of change, but notes commitments to building capacity are more immediate and should be able to be funded internally until at least 2030.
The Buy rating is retained and the target price decreases to $9.50 from $10.00.
This stock is not covered in-house by Ord Minnett. Instead, the broker whitelabels research by JP Morgan.

UBS rates AGL as Neutral (3) -
UBS modelling shows a credible path for attractive returns from an investment in batteries. Thus, the broker supports AGL Energy's planned investment in this area, as part of a completed strategic review.
The company will also bring forward the already planned retirement of the Loy Yang A coal-fired power station by -10 years.
The broker retains its Neutral rating given uncertainty around future capital structures and key executive roles. The $8.15 target is also unchanged.
Target price is $8.15 Current Price is $6.60 Difference: $1.55

Macquarie rates PMV as Outperform (1) -
Despite lockdown and difficult covid comps in the previous year, Premier Investments has delivered earnings growth in FY22. Full year earnings of $352.5m were ahead of last year's $342.8m, while the company came in ahead of Macquarie's expectations on key lines.
The company announced a $50.0m on market buyback, with a cash balance of $471.3m supportive of capital management. Macquarie has also found early FY23 trading encouraging, with sales up 46.7% in the first seven weeks, noting these results are cycling lockdowns in the previous year.
The broker expects sales will come under pressure in the coming year given the current macro environment. The Outperform rating is retained and the target price decreases to $29.00 from $35.00.
Target price is $29.00 Current Price is $23.69 Difference: $5.31

Ord Minnett rates PMV as Hold (3) -
Premier Investments' full year underlying earnings of $335m have come in broadly in line with both Ord Minnett's and consensus assumptions. A final dividend of 79 cents per share brings the total payout for the year to 125 cents per share.
The company also announced a $50m on market share buyback, equating to around 1.5% of outstanding shares.
Ord Minnett anticipates earnings margins to remain well above pre-covid levels, as the company continues to benefit from robust demand and strong cost management.
The Hold rating is retained and the target price increases to $23.90 from $20.50.
Target price is $23.90 Current Price is $23.69 Difference: $0.21

UBS rates PMV as Buy (1) -
All key metrics in FY22 results for Premier Investments exceeded forecasts by both UBS and consensus. Management declared a special dividend of 25cps and an on-market share buyback of up to $50m.
The analyst was surprised by the strength of sales revenue in the 2H of FY22 though remains cautious on the consumer, especially for the 2H of FY23.
A trading update for the first seven weeks of FY23 revealed to the broker Smiggle in the northern hemisphere is performing strongly in the back to school period.
The target rises to $26 from $23 on better cost-of-goods-sold and cost-of-doing-business management and stronger expected FY23 sales. The Buy rating is unchanged.
Target price is $26.00 Current Price is $23.69 Difference: $2.31
If PMV meets the UBS target it will return approximately 10% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Citi rates STO as Buy (1) -
As Santos recently received an offer for US$1.4bn from Kumul Petroleum for an additional 5% stake in PNG LNG, Citi now considers the sell-down to a 37.5% interest will likely proceed.
The implied value of the offer is 8.3% above the analyst's base case PNG LNG valuation of US$25.8bn.
The broker increases its production forecast for Santos, which increases the company's exposure to higher near-term JKM prices. The target rises to $10.00 from $9.00, while the Buy rating is unchanged.
Target price is $10.00 Current Price is $7.02 Difference: $2.98
If STO meets the Citi target it will return approximately 42% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Telecommunication

Overnight Price: $3.88
Morgan Stanley rates TLS as Overweight (1) -
Following cyber attack woes at Optus, Morgan Stanley believes Telstra has received an unexpected tailwind, which will assist mobile subscriber growth over the next 1-3 years.
The analyst estimates every 5% of Optus subscription churn would add 400-500k subscribers, and revenue of between $200-250m for Telstra. This would be expected to translate to 14-30c/share in value.
The Overweight rating and $4.62 target are retained. Industry View: In-Line.
Target price is $4.60 Current Price is $3.88 Difference: $0.72
If TLS meets the Morgan Stanley target it will return approximately 19% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Morgans rates TLS as Add (1) -
Morgans believes Telstra's current structure undervalues the infrastructure assets. This value could be partially unlocked by shareholders, who are being asked to vote on a new structure at the company's AGM on October 11.
The analyst sees no downside in shareholders voting for the changed structure, which will allow management the flexibility to create or unlock value when an opportunity arises.
The Add rating and $4.60 target are retained.
Target price is $4.60 Current Price is $3.88 Difference: $0.72
If TLS meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 19% (excluding dividends, fees and charges).

Overnight Price: $12.73
UBS rates TWE as Buy (1) -
In commentary around 4Q results, luxury US wine company The Duckhorn Portfolio noted its core consumer has been resilient to date. However, macro uncertainty was alluded to, with luxury growth continuing albeit at a slightly slower rate.
