ORG - Origin Energy

well they are ASX listed so less hassle than internationally listed shares and of course there are no franking credits and increased FX fluctuations although that is not as bad as it has been in earlier years
 

Martin Conlon: The great Origin Energy debate and what it means for Australia​

⬆️[/ISPOILER] alert. just another puff piece from a seller of your grandma.

I'm a simple sort, Brookfled planned to relist it's v2.0 within 5 years , it was reported. After rip strip transfer and tax deduct their merry way to produce a carcass. To this country's benefit. [NOT]

Now, that the ghouls have moved on, there's a need for capital, yes, and a little less destraction. plus the emerging possibility ORG could be split up, into a few biz operations. Market thinks so. Sky is not falling. Quick buck Conlon can have a cold shower

Origin Energy: CEO selling at 5-year highs​

ORGOrigin Energy17/04/24Frank CalabriaSell$9.60$201,600

Origin Energy experienced a 17% drawdown in the December quarter after rejecting a $10.6 billion Brookfield-led consortium bid. But the stock managed to recoup the drawdown pretty quickly, now up around 26% from December lows and trading at levels not seen since September 2018. The company's half-year results (announced 15 Feb) reported a 17-fold jump in underlying profit as well as a bigger-than-expected dividend.

Origin Chief Executive Frank Calabria has sold a little over $2 million worth of shares, marking his first on-market sell since November 2019 (or right before the pandemic hit). He beneficially owns 1.4 million shares in the company.

Cue #BlackOutBowen statements on how green hydrogen is going to lower the temperature in Australia and save the planet.
 
Market Matters:
Origin Energy Ltd (ORG) $10.18
ORG has advanced over 20% this year, rewarding investors with capital gain (on paper) and a fully franked yield well in excess of 5%. However, ORG has struggled since missing expectations with its FY24 result in August, and its forward guidance was weaker than anticipated. While the dividend is healthy, we expect a flatter dividend outlook moving forward, not the growth largely expected by the market.
  • We like ORG around the $10 area but prefer APA and AGL in the energy utilities sector.

*****LOGIC BEHIND CHOICE OF FULL CALENDAR YEAR 2025 STOCK TIPPING COMPETITION***** @mullokintyre

Origin Energy Limited (ORG) has performed quite well throughout the 2024 calendar year, especially on a comparative scale to the Australian Energy Sector (XEJ), and has also managed to stay above the 30 week moving average for a higher proportion of time individually for more of the calendar year compared to the Australian Utilities Sector (XUJ), even though ORG is the largest component of the XUJ by market weight. With Australia's passion for dividends and dividend paying companies, it is presumed that there will be continued demand for companies such as ORG, which should maintain a decent share price, especially in the possibility of a market downturn (remembering that utility stocks are generally considered defensive in nature). These factors, along with the charts suggesting continuing bullish sentiment, maintain logic for choice within the stock tipping competition.

***** MONTHLY UPDATE FOR FULL CALENDAR YEAR 2025 STOCK TIPPING COMPETITION - @mullokintyre *****

February 2025 - Following on from last month's update for Origin Energy (ORG), the share price retraced harshly right at the end of the month and sunk directly through the raised stop loss from the Darvas box technique ($10.55), only to continue even further below the base of the original Darvas box, indicating further weakness. There has been an improvement in share price since the release of half year results in mid-February, which is probably now bringing in value investors and those looking for defensive plays (momentum traders appear to have disappeared at this stage). Short-term positivity may result in some trend development, however a lot of overhang now exists on the daily chart from all of the trade that exists in January - charts suggest to be wary of potential resistance amongst the congestion.

***** MONTHLY UPDATE FOR FULL CALENDAR YEAR 2025 STOCK TIPPING COMPETITION - @mullokintyre *****

March 2025 - Following on from last month's update for Origin Energy (ORG), the share price remains stuck in a sideways trajectory after the weakness expressed in January/February when the Darvas box had failed. This sideways movement may not be such a bad thing compared to the overall market (i.e.: relative strength), with market participants potentially seeing this 'utility play' a defensive move should the market downturn worsen (unless everything flushes). Observe to see if moving averages hold as an indication for potential future price direction, keeping in mind the suggestion from the charts of potential resistance above from the congestion that remains from January's trading zone.

Check out the range and recovery of ORG today.
One of the five stocks that Greg Canavan of 'fat tail' is suggesting that subscribers add to today.
Four of the five are energy stocks, two are coal.
Thinks 'the market' is in panic mode and subscribers should be patiently layering in where value presents.

Quote excerpt:
"To be clear, I’m not buying here with the expectation of buying the low or catching a bounce in the next few weeks.
This is about buying into companies at good long-term prices while everyone else is panic selling. It may feel dumb/wrong in the short term, but it is the right thing to do for the long-term investor.
Energy prices are approaching levels where marginal cost supply will exit the market. As the saying goes, low prices are the cure for low prices."

Interesting... Is Greg classifying ORG as an energy stock? Technically, ORG, just like AGL, are utility stocks, although they both share elements of energy stocks. Agreed, the names (and their activities) can be misleading in this respect, but the classifications are clear at sites such as Market Index, which can also reflect in differences in their share price performance - i.e.: top-down analysis based on sector performance.
