Origin Keeps Bull on Strong 3Q LNG Prices -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-01

0406 GMT - Origin Energy keeps its bull at Jarden after the Australian energy producer and retailer delivered higher-than-expected 3Q realized LNG prices. The broker's analysts tell clients in a note that March-quarter LNG prices were 13% higher than they had forecast. They lift their forward pricing estimates, supporting a 2.6% increase in their stock target price to A$10.00. Keeping an overweight recommendation on the stock, the Jarden analysts are now looking ahead to next week's investor briefing by Octopus Energy, in which Origin holds a 23% stake, and the expected unveiling in June of Origin's revised shareholder distribution policy and an updated investment strategy in energy transition. Shares are flat at A$9.75. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
