AMPOL LTD cut its fourth-quarter output forecast by 150 million litres on Monday morning after bringing forward maintenance work at its Lytton refinery. The refinery setback overshadowed a surge in third-quarter refining margins and sent company shares down 7% to A$40.00. The stock drop marks its lowest level since August 24, making it among the top losers on the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index.
