Price Performance
Growth Potential
- Quality assets with superior free cash flow breakeven price relative to peers. Its global scale is also a competitive advantage.
- On-going focus on cost reduction and positioning of the business for a lower oil price environment.
- Improving oil and gas prices, which should see earnings improve.
- Increasing LNG demand (which is expected to increase by ~60% by 2040), with WPL well positioned to fulfill this. Natural gas and LNG are flexible energy sources that support base load power, industrial use, and grid reliability.
- Balance sheet position remains within management’s target range.
- Strong free cash flow generation.
- Sell-down of assets.
Key Risks
- Supply and demand imbalance in global oil/gas markets.
- Value destructive acquisition(s).
