Woodside Energy (WDS) Stock Analysis & Forecast
$23.17−0.44 (−1.9%)
Close on Sep 18, 2026. Page updated Sep 19, 9:15 pm ET.
Gekko Brief
AI summaryWoodside Energy (WDS) closes at $23.17, down 1.9%, holding above both its 50-day average of $22.87 and 200-day average of $20.82, with the shorter average above the longer one. The GekkoIndex reads 58.6, placing the stock in the Neutral zone. Gekko Fair Value stands at $35.65, leaving price 35% below that mark.
Attention this month centers on Woodside's distribution update, which is being weighed against production delivery and current oil and gas market conditions. This follows an August 24 report of H1 2026 production of 86.5 million BOE, EBITDA of $4.6 billion, and underlying NPAT of $1.3 billion, alongside free cash flow that surged over 150% year-on-year and $3 billion generated by operating assets. Management set a $350 million structural cost reduction target by 2028, and the Board declared a fully franked interim dividend of $0.57 per share; shares reacted -6% to that release despite EPS of $0.88 beating the $0.78 estimate.
No confirmed earnings date currently appears on the calendar, and no insider, Congress, or unusual options activity is recorded in the respective windows. The sole tracked analyst holds a rating with a consensus target of $24.32, implying 5% upside. Seasonally, the next 20 trading days have averaged +2.8% over 5 years, though rising in only 2 of them, a pattern worth noting given the 20-day typical move of 6.3% and average post-Neutral-zone 20-day return of 0.4%.

About Woodside Energy
Woodside Energy works across the entire hydrocarbon chain, from finding and assessing deposits to developing, extracting, marketing and distributing them. Its activities span Oceania, Asia, Canada and Africa, and its output includes liquefied natural gas, pipeline natural gas, condensate, liquefied petroleum gas and crude oil, giving it a footprint across several core energy products rather than a single commodity line.
The company holds interests in a number of major projects rather than running everything under one banner, with stakes in ventures such as Greater Browse, Greater Sunrise, Greater Pluto, Greater Exmouth, North West Shelf, Wheatstone, Julimar-Brunello, Greater Scarborough, and additional operations in Canada, Senegal and Myanmar. This project-based structure spreads its production and marketing activity across multiple regions and partnerships.
Woodside Energy traces its origins to 1954 and operated for decades as Woodside Petroleum before adopting its current name in May 2022. It is headquartered in Perth, Australia, and its shares trade under the ticker WDS.
