2208 GMT - There's a good chance that Australian pipeline operator APA upgrades its capex guidance, reckons Macquarie. APA has signaled some A$2.1 billion of growth-development capex over three years, excluding any M&A. Its latest project is the construction of the Brigalow Peaking Power Plant in Queensland. APA reiterated its capex guidance when announcing a deal with CS Energy for the Brigalow plant, but Macquarie sees it will be likely upgraded if progress is made in other areas. For example, Macquarie points to a potential extension of the Bulloo pipeline in Queensland, which cost around A$1 billion. It retains an outperform call on APA and A$9.23/share price target. APA ended Tuesday at A$9.18. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
