Opinions for stocks held in the Emerging Companies Portfolio

Paladin Energy Ltd (PDN) $1.005

MM remains a fan of the uranium sector into 2024. Still, we won’t be afraid to take profits if PDN or any other of our positions reach our objectives, especially when considering increasing cash levels.

Sandfire Resources (SFR) $6.26

SFR has outperformed the copper price through 2023, benefiting from being the vehicle of choice for copper exposure since BHP’s takeover of OZ Minerals (OZL). While we don’t regard it as the same top quality as OZL, it is the best local pure copper play and will rise when the industrial metal regains its mojo.

Bapcor Ltd (BAP) $5.44

Auto parts business BAP slipped another -1.3% on Thursday, leaving it hovering around its 2-year low – we're glad we trimmed our position at much higher levels in August. The stock has struggled since disappointing the market in October by flagging a softer 1Q at the AGM. Costs have been the issue, as they have been across many companies and industries through 2023.

Praemium (PPS) 37.5c

PPS -35.34%: a tough day for the investment platform business, tumbling on comments made at their AGM. The company has been working hard to right size their cost base but it is facing headwinds on both costs and revenues and today’s update sent the stock to 3-year lows. On the revenue front, lower trading volumes have weighed on income given Praemium clips the ticket on activity.

Catapult (CAT) $1.07

The Sports Technology business jumped on a strong 1H report yesterday, ticking the boxes of what we were looking for in the underlying business. Revenue was up 21% in constant currency terms to $US49.8m largely on the back of 20.6% growth in Annualized Contract Value (ACV). The core wearables business that provides important analytical data about athlete performance continues to grow at a consistently high rate, up 27% in the first half.

Audinate (AD8) $13.00

The audio-visual technology company has been a significant driver of strong performance in the Emerging Companies Portfolio, particularly over 2023, where the stock is up over 70%. FY23 results were well ahead of market expectations which saw the stock re-rate and surge higher in August. More recently, the company raised $70m through a placement and Share Purchase Plan (SPP), which has further strengthened its balance sheet and leaves it well-placed to look at M&A opportunities to add to its already impressive earnings growth trajectory.

Aussie Broadband (ABB) $3.58

ABB -8.67%: shares were back trading after the company raised $120m through a placement to help fund the acquisition of Symbio (SYM). We like the acquisition from several perspectives. ABB is raising money at a higher multiple so the deal will be EPS accretive, while we see plenty of revenue and cost synergies to come out of the deal for telco-as-a-service business Symbio.

Centuria Capital Group (CNI) $1.24

Property Fund Manager CNI has struggled in line with the underperforming sector since 2021, but it added to losses in August after it provided soft guidance and higher interest costs when it reported. CNI are one of the most leveraged ‘plays’ on interest rates given they have less interest rate hedging in place, a double edged sword that has clearly worked against them.

Paladin Energy Ltd (PDN) $1.02

The uranium sector enjoyed a strong 24 hours after Cameco (CCJ US) reported earnings ahead of expectations.  Plus, they discussed the strong supply/demand backdrop, which should drive the ongoing strength in the sector.
