First Up

It didn’t feel like it on Friday afternoon as the ASX200 plunged more than 125 points, but the index still managed to finish last week up +2.4% after one of the most violent weeks of reporting season we can remember - 10% swings in either direction were almost pedestrian! The heavyweight banks and resources offset broad market weakness, led by any stocks feared to be at risk of AI disruption, with selling gathering momentum from already panic-like levels. The dominant themes were very binary in nature:

What Mattered Today

The ASX pulled back sharply today as AI-related margin fears continued to drive aggressive selling across software and high-multiple names. Despite the weak finish, the market still closed the week up ~2.4%, underpinned by a fantastic week from the banks on better-than-expected results.

Question asked 14/02/2026

CSL Ltd (CSL)

Lots of commentary naturally on CSL after their half yearly release. My question is focused on how MM views the Board and senior mgmt capabilities given that after only a few years of acquiring Vifor (a massive acquisition price play) because - surprise surprise many of Vifor patents expired and gosh - competitors were able to release competitive products quickly. How in heck could CSL Board not be aware of either patents expiring AND the capabilities of their competitors? So - if Mgmt is seemingly this incompetent with shareholders money should not MM cut and run with existing investment? Apologies for being so negative (I am not a shareholder) David

Spark New Zealand Ltd (SPK)

Hi James and Team Spark share price has been falling for some time facing competition, changes in management and strategically changing the business by selling off a large share of their Data Centre to reduce debt, although paying a high yield. I would appreciate your views please and outlook. Thank you for your excellent market summaries
