Neutral

$27.10

17.52%

Woodside Energy’s FY24 result was in line with expectations, UBS notes, with 2H24 underlying net profit of US$1,248m, 4% ahead of consensus due to lower-than-expected other expenses.

The broker notes a new -US$150m cost-cutting initiative targeting efficiencies in new energy, exploration, and corporate costs.

The analyst highlights investor focus is on the expected Louisiana LNG sell-down, with a final investment decision anticipated by March 2025. The project is valued at US$2.77 per share. Woodside confirmed Bechtel’s EPC pricing for the 16.5Mtpa development concept.

UBS reduces 2025 EPS by -3%, reflecting higher depreciation at Sangomar and Wheatstone and increased interest costs. EPS forecasts for 2026 and beyond rise slightly due to lower other expenses.

The price target remains $27.10. Neutral rating retained.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 136.34 cents and EPS of 171.57 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 134.80 cents and EPS of 166.97 cents.
