Neutral

$24.85

-8.23%

Woodside Energy reported first half underlying profit in line with expectations and an interim dividend (ff) implying an 80% payout of underlying profit, UBS notes.

Strong production from the Sangomar oil project was identified as a highlight for the half, with continued strong performance in the core S500 sands.

Net debt was higher than expected due to heavier debt drawdowns leading gearing to 19.5%, at the top end of Woodside's target range.

While UBS remains comfortable the balance sheet can support a heavy capex profile, even at US$50/bbl oil, higher leverage raises the stakes for Woodside's sell-down process underway at Louisiana LNG. 

UBS expects global oil supply to slip into a growing surplus over the next three quarters, putting downward pressure on oil prices. Neutral retained, target falls to $24.85 from $25.00.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 116.21 cents and EPS of 145.65 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 85.22 cents and EPS of 106.91 cents.

Overweight

$25.60

-5.47%

Woodside Energy reported first-half 2025 earnings (EBITDA) of US$4.6bn, broadly in line with forecasts by Jarden and consensus. Profit of US$1.25bn was in line with consensus but 13% ahead of the broker due to a lower tax rate.

A US53c interim dividend was declared, close to consensus but above Jarden’s forecast.

Operating cash flow (OCF) of US$3.3bn was the key miss, -21% below the broker's estimate, driven by higher tax and restoration costs, lifting gearing to 19.5%.

The broker notes higher Sangomar reserves and lower cost trajectories partly offset the weaker cash flow outcome, with its valuation trimmed slightly.

Jarden highlights uncertainty around future Sangomar investment, given an ongoing US$75m tax dispute and a wider government tax review in Senegal.

Bass Strait decommissioning costs also remain a concern for the analysts, with provisions up/deteriorating by -US$1.1bn in three years, including -US$445m in the half, pressuring dividends.

Jarden lowers its target price to $25.60 from $25.75 and retains an Overweight rating.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 147.20 cents and EPS of 184.69 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 86.77 cents and EPS of 109.39 cents.
