OPINION

Latest Market Matters Opinions

13/05/2026 17:11

Aristocrat Leisure (ASX:ALL) $51.94

ALL +13.28%: delivered a good 1H result, with earnings and margins ahead of expectations despite revenue coming in slightly light. The key positive was continued market share gains in Gaming alongside another major increase to the buyback program.

13/05/2026 17:10

Commonwealth Bank (ASX:CBA) $153.67

CBA –10.43%: was whacked today after its 3Q update highlighted rising provisions and a more cautious macro-outlook, amplified by concerns around negative gearing and the implications for housing credit growth.

Question asked 09/05/2026

ETFs

Hi James, Thanks for all your updates and analysis. I would value your opinion on the QUAL ETF. Also, you mentioned RBTZ last Friday as being "cautiously bullish", but preferred SEMI and AINF for AI exposure. I hold RBTZ and have done quite well - if you were me, would you be switching out of this into either SEMI or AINF, and if so, which one?

Ask James

Question asked 09/05/2026

Vault Minerals Ltd (ASX:VAU) and Regis Resources (ASX: RRL)

From the perspective of a Vault shareholder, how would you view the proposed merger with Regis? Is it likely to be net positive in the long run and/or will it raise any short term issues/share price pressure leading up to the merger?
