Sell

$8.00

-11.70%

First half results from APA Group were in line with expectations. The company has lifted its FY26-28 capital expenditure target to -$3bn although provided limited detail on the projects that are supporting this uplift.

UBS assesses that, as the projects get bigger, and given the number of recent growth investments have not delivered the expected earnings profile, more disclosure is required.

The broker recognises investors are seeking defensive equities with tangible assets and less correlation to AI disruption.

Given rising commercial risks and the growth pipeline, UBS believes the fundamentals support a Sell rating. Target rises to $8.00 from $7.70.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 58.00 cents and EPS of 21.00 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 59.00 cents and EPS of 26.00 cents.

Overweight

$9.40

3.75%

Jarden retains an Overweight rating on APA Group and lowers its target price to $9.40 from $9.50 following the interim result and commitment to East Coast Gas Grid expansion.

It's felt the early expansion decision increases risk but provides a defensive benefit by reducing competitive threats from LNG imports. 

Underlying earnings (EBITDA) of $1,092m for the half were broadly in line with forecasts by the broker and consensus. Free cash flow (FCF) of $556m was also in line.

FY26 earnings guidance is unchanged at $2,120-2,200m, though management expects earnings to land above the midpoint. The three-year organic growth pipeline has expanded to -$3.0bn from -$2.1bn.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 58.00 cents and EPS of 16.40 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 59.00 cents and EPS of 20.10 cents.
