STO - SANTOS LIMITEDMacquarie rates STO as Outperform (1) - Macquarie suggests the growth profile for Santos is materially de-risking after reviewing 2Q operational results. First half free cash flow (FCF) of US$1.1bn was considered "solid" while other metrics were broadly in line with the broker's forecasts.
While the realised LNG price for the period of US$11.47/MMBtu beat the broker's US$11 forecast, it fell short of the consensus estimate.
Macquarie forecasts an unfranked dividend yield of 5.9% in 2024, followed by 4.8% in 2025.
Outperform rating retained. The broker's target eases to $8.95 from $9.00 due to higher-than-forecast cash costs, partly offset by near-term tax changes.
Target price is $8.95 Current Price is $8.00 Difference: $0.95 If STO meets the Macquarie target it will return approximately 12% (excluding dividends, fees and charges). Current consensus price target is $9.01, suggesting upside of 12.6%(ex-dividends)The company's fiscal year ends in December.
