Event

This morning Blackmores (ASX:BKL) reported their full year results and they were above market expectations, with revenue rebounding strongly from FY17 to FY18 (up 9%) and NPAT increasing by 19%. It’s been a volatile few years for the vitamin maker however it seems management have now re-aligned the business, optimised the cost structure and are now pushing hard into Asia. The composition of the result was interesting, with Q4 revenue a strong point while they also had the added benefit of expanding margins.

What Matters Today: Reviewing the Nine stocks that have entered the ASX200 in September – Part 1

The ASX 200 finished +0.4% higher on a fairly choppy Monday, which saw a very strong local market opening, eventually losing half of the early gains. The gains were very stock/sector specific, with only 6 of the main 11 sectors closing higher, but a stomping +2.6% session by the materials stocks was enough to drive the market higher, with gold equities again the shining light with the precious metal breaking well above the $US3,700/oz milestone.
