Origin Should Have Downgraded Octopus Energy Guidance -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
02/13

2247 GMT - Origin Energy maintained its annual earnings guidance for renewable-energy startup Octopus Energy, but Barrenjoey thinks it shouldn't have done so. Origin expects an underlying earnings contribution of between breakeven and a A$150 million profit from its share of Octopus. That's despite a A$89 million loss in 1H. Analyst Dale Koenders says Origin should have downgraded its guidance for Octopus. "With commentary suggesting ongoing losses in Non-UK retail, and Energy Services, plus continued drag in 2H from the Warm Home discount scheme and investment in smart meters, we think the lower end of the range is the most likely outcome," Barrenjoey says. It has an underweight call on Origin. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
