Contact Energy reported a "good" 1H25 result, Jarden suggests, and FY25 guidance remains unchanged. FY26 guidance is nevertheless softer than the broker's expectations, mainly due to the company shifting load toward the lower-risk summer months, which attract lower prices.

The dividend is flat for now but Jarden still anticipates an uplift starting in FY27. The company's four-year trailing average free cash flow for dividends policy, with an 80-100% payout, implies a NZ43c dividend at the bottom end in FY27, well above FY25's and FY26's guided NZ39c outlook.

Jarden has reduced FY26 earnings forecasts and its target to NZ$10.70 from $10.76, retaining Buy.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 35.55 cents and EPS of 21.33 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 35.55 cents and EPS of 32.35 cents.
