Jarden highlights Contact Energy's steady operational performance with FY25 earnings (EBITDA) tracking ahead of guidance, supported by October statistics showing NZ$312m earnings year-to-date, a NZ$81m increase year-on-year.

The Wairakei geothermal project has achieved production efficiency gains, observes the broker, with output expected to reach 2,900GWh annually by FY31, up from the prior guidance of 2,750GWh.

Capital costs for Te Mihi 2 remain on track at NZ$712m, while Te Huka's commissioning progresses, adding to Contact’s generation capacity, point out the analysts.

Gas storage also rose due to unused Methanex gas, which could support winter operations, though conditions apply, notes Jarden.

The  Buy rating and NZ$10.79 target price are maintained.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 33.38 cents and EPS of 33.38 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 31.46 cents and EPS of 31.46 cents.
