OPINION
ACTION

Opinions for stocks held in the Emerging Companies Portfolio

08/05/2025 09:19

Boss Energy (BOE) or Paladin Energy (PDN)

As subscribers know, we remain bullish on the uranium thematic, but it's been a painful journey for most of the sector in 2025, except BOE, which has bounced strongly.

07/05/2025 09:25

SiteMinder (SDR) $3.78

Travel stocks are feeling the pinch. We’ve recently seen downgraded guidance from Flight Centre (FLT) and Corporate Travel (CTD) locally, while it’s been more of a mixed picture overseas with Booking.com and Airbnb highlighting stable leisure demand trends overall, but they called out some weakness in the US, particularly from travellers coming from Canada and Europe – an understandable trend given anti-America sentiment stemming from the absurd tariff situation being worked through.

06/05/2025 16:50

HMC Capital (HMC) $4.87

HMC –5.8%: was weaker today after CEO David Di Pilla provided a trading update at the Macquarie Conference and downgraded FY25 earnings. The asset manager now forecasts Earnings Per Share (EPS) of 66c, below the 70c projected a month ago in the half-yearly update.

02/05/2025 09:24

HMC Capital Ltd (HMC) $5.26

We discussed HMC in detail this time last month, just before Liberation Day! Our thesis hasn’t changed, and we believe the stock is oversold/cheap as the “AI Trade” comes back into vogue courtesy of its major position in DigiCo (DGT) – the weak and speculative longs have certainly been washed out of both DGT and HMC.

01/05/2025 09:28

Paladin Energy Ltd (PDN) $5.85

Market heavyweight PDN has been kinder to the shorts, declining over 20% so far in 2025 as the company has consistently disappointed operationally, including withdrawing guidance last month following heavy rain in Namibia.

30/04/2025 09:41

AIC Mines (A1M) 35c

A1M reported March quarter production results yesterday, with Eloise production at the bottom end of the target range for the period. However, total production over the first nine months leaves just 2,839t Cu to be produced in the Junq for A1M to meet the FY25 production target of 12,500t Cu at an All In Sustaining Cost (AISC) of A$5.25/lb, which means the full-year target is likely to be exceeded.

23/04/2025 17:22

Paladin Energy (PDN) $4.96

PDN +24.62%: Released a strong quarterly today highlighting the uranium producer is back on track with production, achieving its highest run-rate of production to date.

02/04/2025 09:53

HMC Capital (HMC) $6.01

The bearish thesis on HMC had been around valuation relative to their funds under management. As a broad rule of thumb, a funds management business will typically trade on 5-10% of their Assets Under Management (AUM), adjusted up or down for expected inflows/outflows.

26/03/2025 16:52

Paladin Energy (PDN) $5.65

PDN –11.58%: Released more detail around the extreme weather event impacting operations at their Langer-Heinrich uranium facility. The rains are now being called a 1-in-50 year event and as a result production guidance for FY25 has been withdrawn.

26/03/2025 09:45

Regal Partners (RPL) $2.54

As at the end of December, Regal was managing $A18bn spread across long/short equities ($7.6bn), Credit & Royalties ($6.6bn), Real & Natural Assets ($2.2bn), Multi-Strategy ($1.2bn) and Private Markets ($474m).
