Opinions for stocks held in the Emerging Companies Portfolio

NexGen Energy Ltd (NXG) $16.59

NexGen Energy (NXG) has received its Licence to Construct the Rook I Uranium Project from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). The licence has been issued just 14 days after the completion of the final commission hearing, which reflects the quality of the NXG submission and the strong support for the project from First Nations and regulatory stakeholders. NexGen will now embark on a 4-year construction process with Rook I producing first uranium early next decade. There's some “good news” built into NXG’s share price, but we see great value if it dips another 5-10%.

Life 360 (360) $20.36

The global family safety platform Life360 reported 4Q and FY25 results yesterday, and after trading up ~15% early, the stock closed down ~17% - a staggering 32% turnaround on the day! The result itself was strong.

PEXA Group Ltd (PXA) $14.98

PEXA Group rose as much as 9.9%, the most since July, after the Australian property exchange 1H EBITDA beat analyst expectations.

Read more

ReadyTech (RDY) $1.21

RDY -29.77%:  hit hard today after a 1H FY26 result that came in below expectations, with investors losing patience as strategy execution continues to lag near-term earnings delivery.

Read more

Centuria Capital (CNI) $1.92

CNI -0.8% delivered a solid first-half result and modestly upgraded its full-year operating EPS, reinforcing confidence in earnings resilience despite ongoing volatility across listed property and capital markets. 

Read more

Siteminder (SDR) $3.25

SDR +10.5% delivered another step forward on profitability, materially narrowing losses and more than doubling underlying EBITDA, though the result fell slightly short of market expectations at the earnings line.

HMC Capital (HMC) $2.82

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).

Light & Wonder Inc (LNW) $137.11

Light & Wonder (LNW) generates revenue by developing casino-style games and monetising them across physical casinos, online platforms and mobile apps. In land-based venues, it sells or leases slot machines to operators, often earning a share of the revenue those machines generate. It also licenses its content to online casinos and operates social gaming apps that monetise through in-app purchases. In essence, it is a global gaming content and technology provider that earns revenue wherever its games are played.

ARB Corporation (ARB) $21.36

ARB –13%: The stock fell after 1H FY26 results came in softer year-on-year, reflecting a tougher domestic and OEM backdrop, but the underlying message was better than the headline suggests. Management reiterated confidence in a second-half improvement, supported by a healthy order book and strong offshore momentum.

Regal Partners (RPL) $3.26

RPL +4.8%: delivered a solid update alongside a CFO transition, with the numbers reinforcing the group’s earnings momentum and continued FUM growth.
