APA's Basslink Earnings Look Set to Disappoint -- Market Talk

Dow Jones12-18

0131 GMT - Morgans analyst Nathan Lead lowers his earnings expectations for APA's Basslink on the Australian Energy Regulator's draft decision not to make it a regulated asset. He realigns his Ebitda expectations for the asset with existing earnings, but warns in a note to clients of potential downside risk if and when the proposed Maranus Link is built in 2029 or 2030. Basslink is the third material investment by APA that is not yielding the expected returns, he adds. Morgans keeps a hold rating on the stock and lowers its target price 6.9% to A$7.13. Shares are down 1.6% at A$7.065. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
