- Dividend yield
- 5.61%
- Beta
- 0.13
Ampol’s reported P/E ratio of 7.34 suggests a modest earnings multiple, while its PEG ratio of 3.21 offers a different perspective when growth is considered. Those measures should be viewed alongside the company’s relatively slim 4.03% profit margin and the cyclical, capital-intensive nature of fuel refining and distribution. The 5.63% dividend yield may appeal to income-focused investors, but it is variable rather than assured.

- Target vs last price
- -2.44% from last price
The supplied target price is A$42.94, which is 2.88% below the last price of A$44.22. This is a secondary reference rather than a forecast or a complete view of the business. Ampol’s operating outlook depends on fuel demand, refining and distribution economics, and the performance of its retail and New Zealand businesses.
Risks
Ampol remains exposed to fuel demand, refining and wholesale economics, and shifts in fuel prices and margins. Its 4.03% profit margin indicates that substantial revenue does not translate directly into a similarly large share of profit. Regulatory changes, environmental obligations and the transition towards lower-emissions transport may affect operating costs and investment needs, while competition and changing customer behaviour could weigh on fuel and convenience sales. The dividend yield is not fixed, and the share price’s proximity to its 52-week high means it may be sensitive to changes in market expectations.
