Aurizon Holdings' underlying earnings were 5% above UBS. The dividend, representing a 75% payout, 60% franked, was 7% above. Coal was a highlight, Network was strong, however mostly due to over-earning, while Bulk and net interest were weaker than expected.

Despite the beat, FY24 guidance was maintained, though with some adjusted assumptions. Aurizon is essentially guiding to a softer second half, the broker notes, given some tempering factors. UBS is comfortable with a forecast at the top end of the guidance range.

The result has not materially changed the broker's view. Aurizon's core businesses are resilient cash generators, however the Bulk and Container growth strategies remain unproven, with return on invested capital lagging expectations to-date.

UBS thinks it is prudent for Aurizon to slow investment until further proof of success. Target rises to $3.80 from $3.65, Neutral retained.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 19.00 cents and EPS of 26.00 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 21.00 cents and EPS of 29.00 cents.
