2318 GMT - Risks to Macquarie's balance sheet from its investments in renewable energy look manageable to Morgan Stanley. Analyst Andrei Stadnik estimates some A$2 billion of Macquarie's principal investments, or 18%, are in green energy. Still, only 10% of investments by Corio--Macquarie's unit focused on offshore wind-energy developments--are in the U.S. and exposed to policy shifts by the Trump administration. "Elsewhere, we estimate Macquarie booked a A$50 million gain on sale of Formosa 2 offshore wind in Asia, so offshore wind transactions are continuing," Morgan Stanley says. "Nonetheless, we have baked in a A$150 million 2H impairment charge for principal investments in renewables." (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
