OPINION
ACTION

Opinions for stocks held in the Emerging Companies Portfolio

18/06/2026 09:18

SiteMinder Ltd (ASX: SDR) $4.25

SiteMinder (SDR) is a leading hotel software platform that connects accommodation providers with online travel agents, booking channels and guests, helping maximise occupancy and revenue. The stock surged +10% on Wednesday, extending its strong but volatile recovery from recent lows - not one for the faint-hearted! We discussed SDR in detail a few weeks ago here, after they launched “ SiteMinder Powered”, which was well received by the market.

16/06/2026 09:07

Aussie Broadband Ltd (ASX: ABB) $5.27

Although ABB’s H1 FY26 was a mixed bag in February, covered here, the underlying growth narrative remains in play. Aussie Broadband's core business remains the resale of NBN services, with management targeting further market share gains and an ambition to become Australia's third-largest NBN provider by the end of 2026. ABB grew NBN market share by 20 basis points in Q1 FY26, adding around 16,000 subscribers, while strategically holding headline prices flat to protect volume.

11/06/2026 09:21

Liontown Resources Ltd (LTR) $1.90

Liontown has rapidly evolved from a transition story into one of the market’s purest lithium recovery plays. Investor focus has shifted from whether Kathleen Valley can successfully ramp up, to how quickly management can improve recoveries, lower costs and unlock the next phase of production growth. With the underground transition tracking ahead of schedule, lithium prices recovering and the balance sheet materially strengthened following the LG Energy Solution conversion, the outlook is significantly stronger than it was a year ago.

01/06/2026 16:56

ReadyTech (ASX: RDY) $1.63

RDY +21.64%: surged after receiving a takeover approach from Canadian software group TSS, though the board has already rejected the proposal as opportunistic and materially undervaluing the business. TSS initially lodged an off-market bid at $1.75/share before improving its proposal to $2.00/share via a scheme of arrangement, valuing the business at ~$250m.

28/05/2026 17:12

Siteminder (ASX: SDR) $3.28

SDR +8.61%: was one of the stronger performers on the market today, with the stock rallying after announcing the launch of SiteMinder Powered, a new capability that allows selected hospitality technology companies to embed SiteMinder’s distribution engine directly into their own platforms.

28/05/2026 09:28

Pinnacle Investment Mgt. Group (ASX: PNI) $15.04

Pinnacle (ASX: PNI) is a multi-affiliate funds management business that owns stakes in a range of boutique investment managers, giving investors diversified exposure across equities, private markets, credit and alternative strategies. Its earnings are highly leveraged to funds under management (FUM) and performance of the strategies, meaning rising equity markets and stronger investment performance naturally drive higher management and hopefully performance fees, although their largest equity affiliate, Hyperion, has really struggled over the past year – performance fee income is a long way off for them!

27/05/2026 09:27

PEXA Group (ASX: PXA) $10.80

PEXA has been a frustrating position for us in the Emerging Companies Portfolio, and we see two material near terms risks that we’re now struggling to look past:

26/05/2026 09:26

Silex Systems Ltd (ASX: SLX) $6.14

We own NexGen (ASX: NXG) and Silex in our Emerging Companies Portfolio both of which are exposed to nuclear power but this morning we’ve gone slightly off piste and looked at SLX, but note we are long and bullish both:

21/05/2026 09:11

SiteMinder Ltd (ASX: SDR) $2.66

SiteMinder is a global hotel software platform that helps accommodation providers manage room bookings, pricing and online distribution across channels like Booking.com, Expedia and Airbnb. The company makes money through recurring SaaS subscription fees and transaction-based revenue tied to hotel bookings processed through its platform - therein lieth the problem, it sits right in the middle of the “AI Disruption Trade” having been rerated significantly lower along with many in the same growth sector, while at the same time revenue for this $750mn business is set to increase more than 50% over 2-years to ~$340mn in FY27 as it executes well.

21/05/2026 09:07

Nick Scali Ltd (NCK) $13.77

Nick Scali has basically halved in 2026 with Januarys result delivering most of the losses, discussed here. At the time their 1H result was a healthy beat but they set the scene for retail as it was accompanied by a cautious outlook - on the money in hindsight. However, this is a great business that’s expanding well across the UK, and it's noticeable that its downside momentum is slowing, even as global bond yields surge higher.
