2349 GMT - Origin Energy is facing an earnings headwind of as much as A$340 million in FY28 from shifts in power markets, Macquarie says. "It is not just base pricing, but volatility has collapsed as markets are in oversupply and batteries have successfully taken over the day-to-day work of gas plants," Macquarie says. Suppressed earnings may continue until coal-fired power generation is retired, it says. That could take longer than anticipated. Macquarie cuts its price target on Origin by 9.7% to 10.16 Australian dollars a share, while retaining a neutral call. Origin ended last week at A$10.47. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
