What Mattered Today

The ASX 200 slipped every so slightly, though certainly performed better than feared given escalation in the Middle East and rate hike expectations jumping over the past few days. A renewed spike in oil prices and global bond yields was largely shrugged off at the index level, though did put pressure on rate-sensitive parts of the market as consumer names took a hit. The move was reasonably broad with 7 of 11 sectors modestly lower, though strength across Energy and parts of Resources kept the index-level decline modest.

Question asked 28/08/2026

Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure (ASX: DBI)

Hi guys, DBI: Plenty of analysis around including MM on this infrastructure stock and I have owned it for 6 years so very happy with price growth and annual distributions. What I was interested in is your thinking for 2031 – the reset year for all their 11 customers. I am trying to get my head around whether the negotiations at that forward time are likely to be positive, super positive, negative or just ho-hum for impact. Broker coverage seems negligible on this important timeline. My current thinking is that their customers are sort of locked in by geography of their mines and the DBI terminal. Were they to change coal handling terminals I suspect (but don’t really know) that extra freight costs will weigh heavily. And is DBI charge per tonne more, less or similar to potential infrastructure rivals? Any thoughts you have on this aspect of DBI gratefully appreciated to firm up whether I add to my current holdings. Cheers DavidO

Smart Group Ltd (ASX: SIQ) and Emeco Holdings Ltd (ASX: EHL)

Hi Market Matters Team Can I have your current view on SIQ -Smart Group and EHL - Emeco. Both have reported. While EHL has improved by 10% SIQ has fallen around 20%. SIQ hit a high 0f $13.65 earlier this month. I should have taken part profit as you advised in June. Where do you see SIQ & EHL in the next few months? regards Debbie
