Viva Energy's Lack of Guidance Breaks With Usual Practice -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jan 30

0027 GMT - Viva Energy's lack of earnings guidance for 2025 disappointed the market but it probably suggests Ebitda won't stray too far from consensus expectations, Jefferies says. It's unusual for Viva Energy not to provide the guidance, says analyst Michael Simotas. It stands in contrast to Australian rival Ampol, which issued guidance this week that met market hopes. "Based on what was released, refining looks weaker than expected," Jefferies says. Viva Energy's convenience and mobility unit and its commercial and industrial business together appear roughly in line, the bank adds. Jefferies cuts forecasts for Ebitda and net profit in 2025 by 3% and 6%, respectively. Its price target falls 11% to A$2.00/share. Viva Energy is down 4.5% at A$1.79.
