Is Penfolds owner Treasury Wines worth a punt on China restart?

Simon Evans

Key Points

  • UBS analyst Shaun Cousins has a 12-month price target of $15 on Treasury Wine Estates, which makes Penfolds, Wolf Blass and Wynns.
  • A potential end to a dispute where barley exports were hit with an 80.5 per cent tariff by the Chinese government has raised hopes of a resolution over heavy wine tariffs. 
  • Treasury Wine shares were sitting above $19 in late 2019, with UBS estimating that about 30 per cent of overall profits were stemming from China exports.

Broker UBS rates Penfolds and Wolf Blass owner Treasury Wine Estates as a “buy”, and expects its share price to be at $15 by this time next year.

UBS analyst Shaun Cousins has crunched the numbers on a potential restart of Australian wine exports to China after the Australian and Chinese governments agreeing to a process to potentially resolve a dispute over 80.5 per cent duties slapped on Australian barley exports.
