Question asked

What are MM’s current thoughts towards OZL and TPG?

Hi James, Thanks for all your help as usual. Two questions. If BHP don't raise their bid for OZL and the deal falls through and OZL drops, would you be interested in topping up your holding? As I understand it, the bid wasn't necessarily factored into the original thesis in buying the stock, so if nothing has changed, would the drop not provide a good entry point? And regarding TPG, what is MM's current thinking, are you considering cutting the loss or are you expecting an improvement and like the defensive nature of the stock going forward? I note that ABB's share price hasn't been performing well either. Thanks again. Josh

Answer

Hi Josh,

A couple of very topical questions which have been under discussion at MM over the last few days:

If BHP pulls its bid for OZL and the stock drops back toward say $20 we are likely to increase our holding – remember we reduced our position from 5% to 3% after the $25 bid by BHP. Importantly all the factors that we previously liked about OZL remain play, and the BHP bid simply validates that.

Secondly we are looking at our TPG position closely, at this stage it’s probably the most likely stock MM will sell to fund other purchases into current market weakness. We are currently down ~17% on the position following their disappointing results.
