Outperform

$10.50

-4.89%

APA Group's FY26 underlying earnings were in line with consensus and in the upper half of guidance. FY27 guidance is consistent with Macquarie's forecast and balance sheet capacity is material to fund growth projects.

The opportunity set for growth continues to broaden, with APA expanding its three-year growth capex spend by $0.5bn to $3.5bn, with much of the spend in FY27 and FY28.

APA's enterprise to earnings multiple of 11.5x is attractive compared to the historical range of 11.2-14.2x, Macquarie notes. Federal government policy is favouring gas again, creating the opportunity for sustained growth, with improving balance sheet capacity.

Target rises to $10.50 from $10.41, Outperform retained.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 59.00 cents and EPS of 21.60 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY28 dividend of 60.00 cents and EPS of 22.30 cents.

Neutral

$10.25

-7.16%

APA Group delivered a FY26 result that was in line with expectations, supported by cost-out achievements that reached $80m in savings against an original target of $50m.

Underlying EBITDA of $2,183m sat towards the upper end of guidance, while underlying NPAT rose to $247m. Management released FY27 guidance targeting underlying EBITDA of $2,260-$2,340m and a dividend per share of 59.0c.

The three-year organic growth pipeline was increased from $3.0bn to $3.5bn, driven by key developments such as the Brigalow gas peaker and a newly announced $259m investment in a solar farm and BESS project.

Jarden maintains a Neutral rating with a $10.25 target price, noting that valuation is balanced alongside an accelerating growth capital expenditure profile.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 59.00 cents and EPS of 18.70 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY28 dividend of 60.00 cents and EPS of 18.70 cents.
