0024 GMT - Australia rail-freight company Aurizon misses dividend expectations in an otherwise in-line earnings result, RBC Capital Markets says in a note. Consensus expectations were for a final dividend of 6.9 Australian cents a share, versus the actual 6.5 Australian cent payout. Aurizon will buy back shares, however, the broker notes. RBC has a sector perform rating and A$3.20 target on Aurizon. The stock is up 1.2% at A$3.31. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
