Outperform

$7.75

15.16%

Macquarie observes Whitehaven Coal reiterated FY25 guidance with unit costs at the lower end of guidance.

The company reported coal production of 5.3mt which was 21% better than consensus expectations, although sales were lower than anticipated by -4%, as was saleable production, post processing.

Prices realised for Qld came in above the US$159t threshold, the analyst states, generating $44m in accrued payments to BHP Group ((BHP)), payable in 12-months.

Macquarie makes EPS forecast changes of 1%. No change to Outperform. Target price lifts 3% to $7.75.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 5.00 cents and EPS of 32.00 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 14.00 cents and EPS of 81.90 cents.

Upgrade to Buy from Neutral

$7.90

17.38%

Whitehaven Coal's Q1 FY25 showed robust coal production, according to Goldman Sachs, with run-of-mine (ROM) output 10% above estimates, strong metallurgical and thermal price realisations, and unit costs near the low end of guidance at $145/t.

Production guidance remains unchanged, but higher Queensland production estimates and debt reduction initiatives provide a favourable outlook, in the analyst's opinion.

Goldman upgrades Whitehaven to Buy from Neutral, and sets a price target of $7.90, a rise of 23%. The Buy rating is based on attractive free cash flow (FCF) potential and sustained demand for metallurgical coal, explains the broker.

FORECAST
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 15.00 cents and EPS of 63.00 cents.
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 7.00 cents and EPS of 29.00 cents.
