APA only slipped 0.6% on Wednesday and remains near its 2-year high, yielding over 6.5% over the next 12 months. They delivered a solid FY25 result in August, producing no alarm bells.

- We are considering switching out of our position in the growth portfolio: MM holds APA in its Active Growth and Income Portfolios.
