HMC +11.26%: Has come out with a much stronger FY27 outlook than the market expected, overshadowing a softer FY26 where operating earnings fell materially as transaction and performance fees normalised.
In an update last week, HMC announced another important step in broadening its funds management platform, securing commitments from two global institutional investors to deploy up to $1.35 billion into private credit. This is strategically significant. HMC’s private credit business has so far been built largely through wholesale and high-net-worth investors, with more than $2 billion of assets under management. Institutional backing expands the opportunity and gives HMC the chance to replicate some of the success it has already achieved in real estate.
HMC +17.06% rallied strongly after announcing a major operational restructure, as management moved to simplify the business, sharpen its focus and improve returns. The group, led by David Di Pilla, has been under pressure across several fronts, including the underperformance of its HMC Capital Partners Fund, a weaker share price, and challenges within DigiCo Infrastructure, its listed data centre vehicle. While the restructure is not a silver bullet, it is a clear attempt to clean up the portfolio and refocus HMC around areas where it believes it has the strongest competitive advantage.
HMC has gone from one of the market’s most celebrated alternative asset managers to one of its most heavily discounted. The share price is down ~70% over the past year (-76% from late-2024 highs), as investors lost faith in the group’s ability to deliver on its ambitious targets; $50bn assets under management (AUM) and 20% return on equity (ROE) targeted within 3-5 years - first announced at its AGM in November 2024. That implied a compound annual growth rate of ~23 % over five years (or ~42 % over three) from then-current levels. (The 20% ROE target had been discussed earlier).
We are making several changes to the Emerging Companies Portfolio
HMC has been a horrible performer over the past year, down nearly 70%, putting it as the weakest performing stock in the ASX 200 (followed by IDP Education, Dominos, Reece, Treasury Wines and Telix). We hold the stock in the Emerging Companies Portfolio, with our initial 5% weighting now down to ~2%.
It’s been a tough period for HMC Capital (HMC), the alternative asset manager that grew funds very quickly to $18.5bn, amid ambitions to grow this to $50bn over the next 3-5 years. The pressure compounded yesterday after they announced the delay in settling its $950 million acquisition of Neoen's renewable energy assets, plus, they also announced the unexpected departure of Angela Karl, Head of Energy Transition.
HMC –5.8%: was weaker today after CEO David Di Pilla provided a trading update at the Macquarie Conference and downgraded FY25 earnings. The asset manager now forecasts Earnings Per Share (EPS) of 66c, below the 70c projected a month ago in the half-yearly update.
We discussed HMC in detail this time last month, just before Liberation Day! Our thesis hasn’t changed, and we believe the stock is oversold/cheap as the “AI Trade” comes back into vogue courtesy of its major position in DigiCo (DGT) – the weak and speculative longs have certainly been washed out of both DGT and HMC.
The bearish thesis on HMC had been around valuation relative to their funds under management. As a broad rule of thumb, a funds management business will typically trade on 5-10% of their Assets Under Management (AUM), adjusted up or down for expected inflows/outflows.
