Viva Energy Group Limited (ISIN AU0000016875) was last trading at AUD 3.17 on the ASX on October 8, 2026 at 11:18 a.m. AEDT, up 0.47 percent from AUD 3.16. A 6.6 million share block trade at AUD 3.16 was reported on October 7, giving the stock a fresh institutional trading signal as the market weighs the company's strong first-half figures.

6.6 million shares change hands

Newsquawk reported that 6.6 million Viva Energy shares traded at AUD 3.16 on October 7, 2026. The transaction was separate from the regular market quote and represented a notable block against the 11,580,083 shares traded on the ASX on October 8, 2026.

The block came after a sharp improvement in the company's first-half earnings. It also leaves investors comparing the market price with analyst valuation levels, rather than treating the transaction as a direct change to operating guidance.

First-half profit reverses loss

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Viva Energy reported revenue of AUD 16,487.5 million, up from AUD 13,573.5 million in the comparable period, while net income reached AUD 452.0 million versus a net loss of AUD 225.7 million previously, according to Investing.com.

The turnaround was accompanied by adjusted first-half earnings per share of AUD 0.28 and an interim dividend of AUD 0.0773 per share for the period ended June 30, 2026. The numbers matter because revenue growth and the return to profit now support the valuation discussion, while the refinery remains exposed to operating disruptions.

Consensus target stays below price

The consensus rating is Buy from 9 analysts, with an average 12-month price target of AUD 3.059, a low target of AUD 2.60 and a high target of AUD 3.75, according to Investing.com. The average target sits below the AUD 3.17 ASX price, while the high target remains above it.

A separate valuation update published on October 1, 2026, raised an analyst target from AUD 3.58 to AUD 3.75, as Simply Wall St reported. The contrast between the average target and the upper valuation case puts the block trade in a broader debate about earnings durability and valuation.

Stock holds below yearly high

Viva Energy was last at AUD 3.17 on the ASX on October 8, 2026, with a session range of AUD 3.15 to AUD 3.24. Its 52-week range is AUD 1.70 to AUD 3.28, and its market capitalization is AUD 5.2 billion as of October 8, 2026.
