Accumulate

$9.30

12.59%

In a "solid" outcome, but slightly adrift of Ord Minnett's forecast, APA Group's 1H underlying earnings (EBITDA) rose by 6% to $930m.

Management's FY24 earnings guidance represents growth of 10% on FY24, notes the analyst. An interim dividend of 26.5cps was declared and FY24 guidance for 56cps was maintained.

The Accumulate rating and $9.30 target are unchanged.

The broker highlights an attractive yield currently on offer, though cautions distribution growth will be truncated by both rising debt costs and the 2035 conclusion of the Wallumbilla Gladstone Pipeline contract.

FORECAST
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 56.00 cents and EPS of 21.80 cents.
Ord Minnett forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 55.90 cents and EPS of 23.30 cents.
