GrainCorp Rattled by Trio of Investor Concerns -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
May 15

2233 GMT [Dow Jones]--A hat-trick of concerns appeared to drive GrainCorp's 14% share-price fall on Thursday, suggests Ord Minnett. GrainCorp's 1H result was solid. However, GrainCorp reported a core cash position of just A$163 million, down from A$321 million at end-September. Analyst John Lawlor says ongoing farm-input disruptions from the Middle East conflict and a questionable outlook for the FY 2027 crop due to poor weather conditions also caused some skittishness. Ord Minnett says it's less concerned about the cash position. It believes this will return to FY 2025 levels by year-end. It also says there's enough fuel and fertilizer for the FY 2027 crop. The lead concern is forecast rainfall having a significant effect on next year's crop volume, Ord Minnett says. It retains an accumulate call on GrainCorp. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
