Price $21.44 · Downside -9.6%
Model ⓘEach model values the company its own way (discounted cash flow, earnings, assets, dividends). The fair value above starts from their evidence-weighted blend, not from a single model. In cyclical trough or peak years, after dilution or a stock split it is adjusted afterwards, so it can sit above or below the models. Based on fiscal year 2025 figures (about 10 months old). Earnings retained since then ($0.3737 per share) are deliberately not added.Bear ⓘBear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull ⓘBull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. If a model's bull case is above four times its base value, the table shows that limit with a > sign (like the overall Bull above): beyond it no assumption holds.Coverage ⓘCoverage = how well-backed THIS model's estimate is for this stock (0–100): how complete and reliable its input data are, and how well the model fits the company. The final Fair Value is an evidence-weighted blend, so better-evidenced models count more. Green ≥70, amber 50–69, grey below 50.

Growth Quality ⓘGrowth is valuable only when reinvestment earns attractive returns (Aswath Damodaran): sustainable growth depends on return on capital, reinvestment and efficiency. Basis: total company revenue over the periods shown on the cards (3Y/5Y/all years), not per share, so a merger can show up as a growth jump; per-share earnings growth is in the value-creation card.40/100

What shareholders gained per year (last 5 years) ⓘWhat the business itself delivers per year: earnings growth per share plus the dividend yield. This is what you get IF the market keeps valuing the stock the same way: it contains no assumption about the market changing its mind. Computed per share, so buybacks count and a merger does not pass as growth. For a company that pays no dividend it is pure earnings growth per share. Period: earnings growth per share as CAGR over the last 5 reported fiscal years (annual statements), plus the current dividend yield. The start value is the median of the three years around the start, so a single crisis year (a pandemic or a write-down) does not distort the rate.

It reflects the tone of coverage, not our valuation.Neutral
Recent news coverage is roughly neutral, about typical for how stocks are covered.
AI conclusion: Commodity E&P operations show limited durable advantage with weak pricing power and cash conversion as the core weakness, even as stronger prices lift profits.
Main risk: Ongoing lawsuits from groups like Greenpeace and regulatory scrutiny over emissions could delay or block key projects such as Scarborough and Browse, hitting development timelines and margins.
Bull case: Woodside could secure faster approvals through stronger emissions management and position its LNG as reliable backup power for AI data centers to sustain demand.
Bear case: Persistent legal blocks and cheaper global supply could strand high-cost assets, forcing project cancellations and eroding the core oil and gas production base.
Woodside has abandoned its five billion dollar clean energy investment target by 2030 along with its Scope 3 emissions goal to redirect spending toward core oil and gas developments. Stronger realized prices lifted first-half profits seven percent even with softer production volumes. Our models currently see it as overvalued. Does doubling down on traditional assets better position the business for energy security needs or leave it more exposed if demand shifts faster than expected?
