Company Report

Ampol: Improved Convenience Margins More Than Offset Volume Decline

We marginally raise our 2024 earnings per share forecast to AUD 3.74 with no-moat Ampol’s first-quarter 2024 trading result. However, our AUD 35 fair value estimate stands, with our midcycle estimates largely unchanged. The 2024 EPS forecast equates to a P/E of 10 at the current share price, and our AUD 2.25 dividend per share forecast translates to a healthy 6.0% fully franked yield. That doesn’t include the potential for another special eventually being declared—Ampol paid an AUD 0.60 per share special in 2023.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Ampol is well-placed, with a leading market share in transport fuels. This position is backed by an extensive distribution network.

Bears

Ampol earnings are subject to influences outside of management control--currency, crude oil prices, and the Singapore refiner margin.

Company Profile

Ampol (nee Caltex) is the largest and only Australian-listed petroleum refiner and distributor, with operations in all states and territories. It was a major international brand of Chevron's until that 50% owner sold out in 2015. Caltex transitioned to Ampol branding due to Chevron terminating its licence to use the Caltex brand in Australia. Ampol has operated for more than 100 years. It owns and operates a refinery at Lytton in Brisbane, but closed Sydney's Kurnell refinery to focus on the more profitable distribution/retail segment. It successfully completed a NZD 2.0 billion bid for New Zealand peer Z Energy in first-half 2022.
