-13.72%

APA Group's December first-half result edged out consensus and Morgan Stanley forecasts, thanks to strong Energy Infrastructure and Asset Management earnings growth.

Earnings triumphed over a sharp rise in corporate costs leading the broker to forecast a 3% to 4% upside to FY22 earnings (EBITDA) consensus estimates as CPI tailwinds escalate.

The broker considers the company's Basslink strategy will likely prove a plus, spying undersea transmission benefits.

Equal-weight rating retained and target price eases to $10 from $10.11. Industry view: Cautious.

FORECAST
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY22 dividend of 53.00 cents and EPS of 34.00 cents.
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY23 dividend of 56.00 cents and EPS of 30.00 cents.
