AGL will go significantly higher on result, page-151

AGL's share price is affected by wholesale electricity prices. They have been quite weak for over 6 months. But, commercial contract rates may have held up (I don't know, I am guessing that business needs certainty of supply and pay different to wholesale these days).

The reality is electricity prices need to rise if Australia is to get close to CO2 reduction targets. Electricity companies are not making any where near the profits to invest in renewables and batteries for storage of renewable generation.

companies such as AGL with reliable coal generators will make good profit if electricity prices rise to pay for the increase cost associated with dependable renewable generation and storage.

Also AGL is on track for annual profit above $660 million. They reported $330 million for first half and stated they expected second half to be higher. AGL is cheap on a PE basis, and the end of the financial year is approaching.

Hopefully we get back to $12 when end of year results are announced.
