Lower oil volumes were behind Beach Energy’s overall quarter-on-quarter sales volume decline of -11%, notes Morgans, commenting on first quarter production.

Sector: Energy.
Target price is $1.71.Current Price is $1.48. Difference: $0.23 – (brackets indicate current price is over target). If BPT meets the Morgans target it will return approximately 13% (excluding dividends, fees and charges – negative figures indicate an expected loss).
