Australia's Upstream Energy Companies Poised for Consensus Earnings Upgrades -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-13

2338 GMT - Morgan Stanley expects consensus EPS forecasts for Australian oil and natural gas producers to rise following their quarterly updates, due in coming weeks. Woodside Energy, Santos, Beach Energy and Karoon Energy are benefiting from uncertainty caused by the Iran conflict. Analyst Rob Koh cites an 'air pocket' in physical supply chains that supports these stocks. "Our commodity price mark-to-market sees 2026 EPS upgrades of 30-45% and we are 12-14% above Visible Alpha consensus heading into the quarterly reports," MS says. It also views a potential additional gas windfall tax burden as manageable. MS's top picks are Karoon and Santos. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
