Smart Group (SIQ) $10.56

SIQ -6.55%: Reported 1H26 results yesterday that were strong, but not strong enough given the strength in the share price, and we’ve seen universal broker downgrades since.

Smartgroup (SIQ) $8.08

SIQ +0.5%: A decent 1H25 result with their earnings number showing they are on track to meet full-year estimates, though the revenue line was a bit soft – all things considered a good outcome given the shares were down ~7% in early trade; the rebound showing a strong appetite for quality income stocks in this market.

Smart Group (SIQ) $7.55

1H24 results today for the salary packaging and novated leasing company, and there was clearly some concern in the market yesterday with a big drop in the shares following weaker results from two competitors, McMillan Shakespeare (MMS) and SG Fleet (SGF). This morning, SIQ’s 1H result was solid, and inline with expectations, and while no specific guidance was provided for the FY, yesterdays sell-off looks a big overreaction.

Smart Group (SIQ) $7.98

We bought salary packaging and novated leasing business Smart Group (SIQ) only a month ago, and straight off the bat, we’re down 10% - not a great outcome to date. We had been patient with this purchase, buying in post an ~18% pullback in the share price, but it has subsequently fallen more. This prompts the logical question: should we hold, fold, or even add?
