0328 GMT - The share-price drop that followed Telstra's annual result announcement comes as no surprise to Citi analyst Siraj Ahmed. Shares in the Australian telco are down by 4.5% at 4.775 Australian dollars despite its increased dividend and announcement of a further A$1 billion on-market share buyback. However, Ahmed points out in a note to clients that guidance for fiscal 2027 cash earnings of between A$4.75 billion and A$4.95 billion represents a downgrade relative to consensus. He adds that the share price had also held up well heading into the result. Citi has a last-published neutral rating on the stock and a target price of A$5.50.
