Opinions for stocks held in the Emerging Companies Portfolio

Regal Partners (RPL) $2.45

We own Regal Partners (RPL) in the Emerging Companies Portfolio and remain bullish on the business. However, Regal’s recent experience in biotech highlights the risks of investing in the sector.

Life360 (360) $22.51

Life360 is doing what a growth stock should do - it's growing. Revenue rose 32% in FY25 to $US489m, the company delivered its first full-year underlying profit, and management guided FY26 revenue to $US640–680m with monthly active users expected to hit ~115m. By any measure, that's a compelling growth profile. Consensus was beaten. The business is scaling. The model is working. Yet the stock suffered a staggering 32% intraday reversal on result day, opening up ~15% before closing down ~17%. The re-rate has left the stock materially below where it should be trading, in MM’s view.

SiteMinder (SDR) $3.51

SiteMinder tells a similar story - quality business, punished share price - though the cause is different. Where Life360 was hit on a specific result, SiteMinder has been caught in the broader de-rating of smaller-cap SaaS names. The stock is now trading around $3.51, well below our entry point of $5.80 - a meaningful drawdown.

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.

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.

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.
