A month ago the toll road operator TCL upgraded guidance for the current FY, the company now expects distributions for FY23 of 58cps, up 1c from prior guidance but up 41.5% from FY22. The upgrade translates to an expected final dividend of 31.5cps with management saying traffic numbers continue to show strong momentum. Earnings will also be supported by better-than-expected financing outcomes however the lack of follow-through on the upside by the stock suggests the news was largely expected.
- We recently took profit on our TCL position in our Active Income Portfolio but we would be interested in the stock again at lower levels.
