Woodside Energy is downgraded to 'Hold' due to limited near-term valuation catalysts and flatlining post-2Q26 performance. WDS expects production growth from Scarborough/Pluto LNG ramp-up in 2H26 and further expansion with Trion (2028) and Louisiana LNG (2029). Consensus values WDS at 6x EV/EBITDA; my 6.5x multiple yields a $23.50 price target, reflecting low upside but attractive capital returns post-capex.
