Fair value: $18.89 (-14.8%), see how we got there

Woodside Energy Group Ltd trades at $22.17, close to the $18.89 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On this measure the market and the model broadly agree, so the interesting question is which of them is wrong.

Our moat model scores it 52 out of 100, which is a moat, but not a deep one. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.

It changes hands at 14.4 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

Super investor ownership

5 of the funds we track reported a position in their latest SEC 13F filing. Largest first:

A word of warning on reading these figures: a 13F reports the market value of a holding, so a fund that traded nothing at all still appears to have sold when the price fell. We found 102 companies where the standard reading gives the opposite answer. Only the share count is honest.

Common questions

Is Woodside Energy Group Ltd (WDS) undervalued?

Against our fair value estimate of $18.89, WDS at $22.17 is 15% above fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.

Which funds own WDS?

5 of the institutions we track reported a position in WDS in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.

What is WDS's P/E ratio?

WDS trades at 14.4 times earnings. A low P/E is not automatically cheap: on a cyclical company it is usually a warning that earnings are at a peak.

Does Woodside Energy Group Ltd (WDS) pay a dividend?

Yes. Woodside Energy Group Ltd yields 5.46% at the current share price. It has paid $1.16 per share over the trailing twelve months. It has paid a dividend in each of the last 25 complete calendar years. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.
