Stocks to Watch
$Corporate Travel Management Ltd (CTD.AU)$: Corporate Travel Management says it has won a bridging accommodation and travel services contract with the United Kingdom Home Office.
The government department has estimated the contract at £1.6bn (approximately $3 billion.) The contract commenced in March and is set for two years with ability for a one-year extension in line with ongoing demand requirements.
$Beach Energy Ltd (BPT.AU)$: Oil and gas producer Beach Energy said March quarter production fell 5 per cent to 4.5 million barrels of oil, citing a gas surplus and planned shutdown of one of its mines for the lower output.
The company said its total sales revenue dropped 13 per cent below the prior quarter to $353 million, due to lower sales volumes and "lower realised oil pricing, partially offset by higher realised gas pricing."
The average realised sales price across all products was recorded at $76.9 per barrel of oil and was 3 per cent below the prior quarter. The average realised oil price decreased by 6 per cent to $133.2 per barrel and the average realised gas price increased by 7 per cent to $8.9 per gigajoule.
