OPINION

Latest Market Matters Opinions

15/05/2026 09:22

YETI Holdings (NYSE:YETI) $US40.69

YETI delivered a solid 1Q result overnight and raised FY26 guidance. The stock opened up over 15% higher, before closing up ‘only’ 6%. The outdoor lifestyle brand continues to show decent pricing power and consumer relevance across its core categories of drinkware, coolers and equipment, while the wholesale channel was the standout, suggesting retailers are restocking and/or giving more shelf space to new products. The offset was softer direct-to-consumer momentum, some international softness and the ongoing risk that tariffs and a weaker US consumer environment start to bite later in the year.

15/05/2026 09:14

The Bottom Line

The 4 ETFs looked at today are influenced by Jim Chalmers Budget in different ways, with no outright major beneficiaries, but some are better positioned than others. • We prefer the Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF (VHY) over the VanEck Australian Banks ETF (MVB) - this isn’t the time to be “all in” on banks, in our opinion. • We like the BetaShares Resources Sector ETF (QRE), but a simple position in BHP Group (BHP) makes more sense to us. • The BetaShares Australian Technology ETF (ATEC) got no help from the budget, and if anything, it refocused investors on overseas markets for tech exposure. Hence, we see no reason increase exposure to local tech as a group just yet.

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?
