OPINION
ACTION

Opinions for stocks held in the Emerging Companies Portfolio

02/07/2025 09:52

HMC Capital (HMC) $4.22

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.

25/06/2025 09:31

Nine Entertainment (NEC) $1.59

US listed CoStar Group (CSGP US) has entered into a binding agreement to buy the remaining 83% of Domain's (DHG) shares it does not already own at $4.43 per share, valuing Domain at an enterprise value of around $3bn.

19/06/2025 09:20

Johns Lyng Group (JLG) $2.89

This month, Australian Pacific Equity Partners (PEP) made a $857.8 million takeover bid for Johns Lyng Group (JLG), offering a 19.3% premium over its share price before the announcement.

Emerging Companies Portfolio – Amendments

We are selling two holdings in the Emerging Companies Portfolio today

18/06/2025 09:25

Silex Systems (SLX) $4.11

Silex, in conjunction with Cameco (CCJ US), is developing a laser technology to enrich uranium at a facility in Kentucky, US.

17/06/2025 09:43

Paladin Energy Ltd (PDN) $7.28

We have also covered PDN at length through 2025 although this sector and market laggard hasn’t been listening with the stock down ~4% year-to-date. Again, we can see a huge short squeeze in the offing with well over 15% of PDN held short, to put things into perspective this could take two months to cover.

12/06/2025 09:41

Centuria Capital Group (CNI) $1.76

CNI has lagged the sector and market through 2025 slipping over 3% in a bullish market not helped by the consensus estimate for its dividend payments over the next year falling by 5% to 10.7c.

27/05/2025 09:40

Paladin Energy (PDN) $6.31

Monday saw the Australian uranium miners latch onto Trumps very bullish rhetoric towards nuclear energy, as he looks to accelerate the construction of nuclear power plants. At MM, we’ve steadfastly stuck with our positive outlook towards the uranium sector, which has paid off with our international holdings, but local names have endured a shocking year.

21/05/2025 17:35

Catapult Group International (CAT) $4.89

CAT +13.72%: A strong day for the sports analytics company that we recently covered (here), with records across the board, but more importantly, their operating metrics are benefiting from scale.

21/05/2025 17:26

Catapult Sports International (CAT) $4.89

CAT +13.72%: A strong day for the sports analytics company that we recently covered (here), with records across the board, but more importantly, their operating metrics are benefiting from scale i.e. the fly wheel is working.
