Ampol Effectively Buying Back Shares With EG Cash Settlement -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-04

2304 GMT - Fuel refiner and marketer Ampol is effectively conducting a share buyback by settling the equity component of its EG Australia acquisition in cash, says Macquarie. It says Ampol's decision is equivalent to a A$315 million buyback at A$34.28/share. In effect, Ampol is returning A$0.80/share to its shareholders. "There is signal in this," Macquarie says. It suggests a rising corporate valuation, which may capture the likelihood of policy reforms ahead. It also points to 2Q earnings momentum, given it implies Ampol's gearing would have otherwise slipped below its end-June target. Macquarie retains an "outperform" call on Ampol and raises its price target by 14%, to A$46.50/share. Ampol ended Wednesday at A$34.96. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
