Origin Energy Limited (ASX:ORG) has been a fixture on the ASX most-active list, with the diversified energy heavyweight drawing steady trading attention through September 2026. As one of Australia's largest integrated energy companies, Origin sits at the centre of the nation's transition debate, spanning gas production, electricity generation, Retailing and a growing clean-energy portfolio.

Latest Developments

Origin Energy reported FY26 results on 13 August 2026, with statutory profit of A$1.574 billion and Underlying Profit of A$1.159 billion. Underlying profit declined from A$1.490 billion in FY25, primarily reflecting lower commodity-linked Earnings from Integrated Gas and higher Depreciation and amortization, partly offset by improved Energy Markets’ performance.
Origin continues to hold interests in Octopus Energy and Australia Pacific LNG. Origin's 2026 AGM is scheduled for 14 October 2026.

What Could Come Next

Key catalysts include further detail on Octopus Energy's growth and progress on Origin's renewables and storage build-out. LNG pricing and domestic gas policy will continue to shape Integrated Gas earnings. The October AGM may offer additional commentary on strategy and Capital allocation.

Risks to Watch

Origin is exposed to volatile Commodity prices, particularly oil-linked LNG and wholesale power. Regulatory intervention in gas and electricity markets remains an ongoing risk, as does the cost and timing of the energy transition. Weather, plant reliability and competition in retail energy can all affect margins. The Octopus Energy valuation, while a growth driver, introduces exposure to a private, high-growth business.
