  • Expert Calls to Sell Telstra and Woodside Shares Amidst Market Shifts
    May 25, 2026, 12:01 AM EDT. Shares of Telstra Group Ltd and Woodside Energy Group Ltd have posted strong gains in 2026, with Telstra up 10.2% and Woodside 30.6%, both paying substantial dividends. However, Shaw and Partners analyst Jed Richards advises selling both stocks. Richards highlights Woodside's recent gains are largely due to macroeconomic factors like elevated oil prices amid Middle East tensions, which may ease, potentially softening energy prices and earnings. For Telstra, Richards notes the stock's elevated price and limited underlying growth reduce its appeal, despite a 3.7% dividend yield. He recommends taking profits now as valuations appear stretched and better growth opportunities exist elsewhere. This caution contrasts with the broader ASX 200 index, down 0.4% this year.
