Ampol

Ampol reported record results for the first half of 2026: RCOP EBITDA rose 152% to A$1.64bn, RCOP NPAT to A$857m and statutory NPAT to A$1.36bn. Drivers were unusually high refinery margins at Lytton, robust fuel sales and gains from the integrated supply network; the share price climbed 4.32% to $41.57. The company raised the interim dividend to A$1.85, cites the EG-Australia acquisition and the U-Go discount network as growth drivers, and expects a temporary production slowdown to around 70% capacity after an FCC revision at Lytton in October. Ampol anticipates lower capital spending after completing a low-sulphur fuels project and an improvement in leverage from strong cash flows, but warns of a possible normalization of refinery margins. » Więcej na de.investing.com
