Opinions for stocks held in the Emerging Companies Portfolio

AIC Mines (A1M) 47.5c

There are two major structural themes playing our globally; the energy transition and explosion in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Copper is central to both. Global demand is expected to rise from ~28.5 Mt in 2024 to 50 Mt by 2050, a 70% increase from current levels. At the same time, global ore grades are declining and the average lead time for new copper miners has continued to blow out.

Catapult Sports Ltd (CAT) $4.46

CAT is a $1.4bn sports analytics business that generated $116.5mn in revenue in FY25, and is forecast to lift this to $137.9mn in FY26. They lost $5.2mn in the 1H, however, within that was a $3.5m debt repayment, making them now debt-free, with net cash of $11.3m. The stocks report this week was solid in our view, even though there was a lift in ACV churn to 4.9% (vs 4.3% in 2H25), due to their planned exit from Russia – the stock was hammered!

Catapult Sports (CAT) $4.82

Catapult shares took a bath yesterday, falling as much as 16% at the lows (finishing -11%), despite delivering a solid set of 1H26 numbers that were in line with or above the midpoint of guidance on every major metric. The headline concern was the lift in Annual Contract Value (ACV) churn to 4.9% (vs 4.3% in 2H25), but that looked to be more a result of their planned exit from Russia than anything more widespread.  Excluding this, churn was flat YoY and lower HoH, suggesting underlying customer retention is stabilising.

Nine Entertainment (NEC) $1.10

NEC held an investor day last week to cover life after the sale of Domain, where Management doubled down on the strategy of extracting more value from its Digital assets - particularly Stan, 9Now, and Digital Publishing (with the AFR a standout performer). The company also highlighted longer-term upside from AI-driven content monetisation and digitisation of archival news assets.

Paladin Energy (PDN) $8.17

 MM has discussed PDN and uranium at length through 2025 with an oversubscribed equity raise and a solid September quarter update lifting confidence in their operations, sending the heavily shorted stock up towards $10 - not as dramatic as gains across the lithium names but impressive all the same.

Liontown Resources Ltd (LTR) $1.15

LTR was the top performing stock on the ASX200 on Monday, surging +12.8% as the lithium names surged higher. LTR raised $266mn at 73c in August, giving the company around 18-months of breathing space for lithium to average ~$US1,100 in 2026, and $US1,000 in 2027, where it will achieve free cash flow (FCF) breakeven - not far now!
