Broker Rating and Valuation Context
Broker Canaccord Genuity maintained its BUY rating on Amplitude Energy Ltd, reaffirmed on 23 January 2026, with a price target of AUD 3.68. This target represents a 24.87% difference compared with the prevailing share price at the time of assessment.

According to the broker’s valuation framework, the outlook reflects expectations tied to the company’s operating base within the oil and gas exploration sector. The analysis positions current pricing below assessed value levels, with emphasis on longer-term fundamentals rather than near-term catalysts.

Quarterly Production and Revenue Update
Amplitude Energy reported record quarterly production for the period ended 31 December 2025, as outlined in its ASX release dated 22 January 2026. Group production reached 7.03 PJe, reflecting a 2% increase compared with the previous quarter. Average daily production stood at 76.4 TJe, supported primarily by operations at the Orbost Gas Processing Plant (OGPP).

Quarterly revenue reached AUD 71.6 million, the highest level reported by the company to date. This outcome was supported by an average realised gas price of AUD 10.32 per GJ, influenced by higher spot gas exposure and updated contract pricing structures. Spot gas sales totaled 2.0 PJ, accounting for 33% of OGPP sales gas during the quarter.

Operational and Balance Sheet Developments
Operational reliability at OGPP remained consistent, with production exceeding 66 TJ per day on approximately 95% of days during the quarter. No absorber cleans were undertaken, and trials above nameplate capacity commenced, with a daily output of 70 TJ recorded in late December.

On the financial side, net debt declined to AUD 34.2 million as of 31 December 2025, marking an 85% reduction from the prior quarter. The change followed cash inflows from operations and proceeds from the October equity raising.

Exploration and Forward Activity
The company confirmed progress on exploration and development initiatives, including upcoming drilling at the Elanora prospect under the East Coast Supply Project. Drilling is scheduled to commence, with a final investment decision targeted for Q3 FY26, based on the project timeline disclosed.
