Morningstar | Regulatory Headwinds Buffet Aurizon

Aurizon Holdings is a vertically integrated heavy-haul rail freight operator with an extensive fleet of locomotives and rolling stock. The company also manages and operates the largest coal rail track network in Australia. Aurizon was privatised after more than 145 years of state government ownership. Returns should improve as operational efficiency gains are delivered and haulage contracts are rolled over on improved terms or exited, supporting margins. The coal price rebound derisks the business for now, but we remain cautious on the longer-term view.
