Buy

$7.50

17.55%

Following Santos' 3Q25 report, Citi believes the company continues to deliver on growth, with Barossa commissioning back on track and LNG sales expected within weeks.

Pikka project remains on schedule, with strong drilling results improving capital efficiency. The broker considers gearing to be elevated and peaking at 27% by end-FY25, before declining as cash flow grows and capex falls.

Dividend outlook remains solid, in the broker's view, with its estimate for a final dividend of US11c. The broker also believes portfolio optimisation could boost balance sheet flexibility and fund further growth.

Buy. Target unchanged at $7.50.

FORECAST
Citi forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 37.99 cents and EPS of 55.11 cents.
Citi forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 34.25 cents and EPS of 61.50 cents.

Jarden

Underweight

$6.10

-4.39%

Santos’ September quarter production and revenue missed consensus forecasts by -4% and -5%, respectively, prompting Jarden to trim its target price to $6.10 from $6.25.

Software issues on the Barossa floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel delayed commissioning by several weeks, notes the analyst, though first LNG sales are still expected before end-2025.

Flooding in the Cooper Basin and the Barossa delay led management to cut 2025 production guidance to 89-91mmboe from 90-95mmboe.

Jarden remains cautious, assuming only two LNG cargoes produced and one sold in 2025. The Underweight rating is maintained.
