2356 GMT - Origin Energy gets a new bull in Macquarie as coal prices back-pedal. While forward electricity prices are still likely to be higher in FY 2026, the cost of coal is headed back toward FY 2024 levels, it says. Macquarie says market pricing points to coal costs coming back to A$125/ton, which suggests A$140 million-A$150 million of extra income. "It is also plausible to expect Origin to increase generation as the coal price falls," Macquarie says. It upgrades Origin to outperform from neutral, citing a 6% yield, a price-to-earnings multiple at the lower part of its historical range, and a brighter outlook for profits.
