Origin Energy Bull Raises Medium-Term LNG Price Forecasts -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Apr 16

Jefferies takes a more bullish view of liquefied natural gas prices. Since the Middle East conflict began, average Japan Korea Marker prices have risen to US$20 per million British thermal units, from US$11 per million British thermal units in January and February. Analyst Amit Kanwatia says Origin, which has a 27.5% stake in the Australia Pacific LNG export project, benefits from LNG prices staying higher for longer as a result of the dislocation in global energy markets. "Japan Korea Marker assumptions increase to US$14.4/mmbtu (+28.7%) in FY26, US$14.5/mmbtu (+43.7%) in FY27 and US$12.1/mmbtu in FY28," Jefferies says. Higher LNG prices drive an average Ebitda uplift of 6.3% for Origin over the next three years, it estimates. Jefferies has a buy call on Origin. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
