OPINION
ACTION

Recent Opinion for the Income Portfolio

21/08/2026 17:01

GQG Partners (ASX: GQG) $1.42

GQG -4.36%: delivered a respectable 1H26 result in the face of significant fund outflows, with earnings proving more resilient than the headline FUM movements would suggest.

20/08/2026 16:49

Fortescue (ASX: FMG) $17.96

FMG -0.61%: delivered a broadly solid FY26 result, with revenue, free cash flow and the balance sheet all coming in well, although EBITDA and NPAT were a little light versus some broker expectations. The main blemish remains Iron Bridge, where higher costs and a further impairment continue to weigh on the investment case.

20/08/2026 16:48

APA Group (ASX:APA) $10.19

APA +0.89%: delivered a an inline FY26 with underlying EBITDA up 8% and strong free cash flow supporting another increase in distributions.

19/08/2026 09:17

Amcor PLC (ASX: AMC) $64.28

Amcor delivered a better-than-expected fourth quarter last week, with both revenue and earnings ahead of consensus and, importantly, early evidence that the Berry Global acquisition is beginning to deliver. Net sales came in at US$6.4bn, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) rose 23% to US$1.23, and the quarterly dividend was lifted 2% to US65c. The most encouraging part of the result was volumes, with modest growth returning across Amcor’s six core segments, with the momentum carrying into July after several years of destocking and subdued demand.

18/08/2026 17:02

BHP Group (ASX:BHP) $63.85

BHP +2.65%: delivered a strong FY26 result, with underlying profit, EBITDA and revenue all ahead of expectations, while the dividend was another clear positive. More importantly, the result reinforced the changing shape of the group, with copper now overtaking iron ore as BHP’s largest revenue contributor for the first time.

13/08/2026 16:48

Amcor (ASX: AMC) $66.18

AMC -0.09%: delivered a better-than-expected fourth quarter, with revenue and earnings both ahead of expectations and encouraging signs that the benefits from the Berry Global acquisition are beginning to come through. The shares were a little softer after the result, but the underlying trends were constructive, particularly around volumes, cost recovery and synergies.

12/08/2026 16:56

AGL Energy (ASX: AGL) $8.72

AGL +5.92%: delivered a broadly in-line FY26 result, but it was the FY27 outlook and better-than-feared dividend expectations that drove the stock. While headline FY27 EBITDA guidance is below prior consensus, expectations had already been cut significantly, and the combination of cost reductions, lower finance costs and a higher dividend payout provided some welcome relief.

12/08/2026 09:28

Suncorp Group Ltd (SUN) $18.56

Suncorp’s FY26 result was mixed at the headline level, with statutory and cash earnings down sharply on the prior year, but the underlying insurance business remained resilient. Importantly for us, the balance sheet remains strong enough to support a 10c special dividend and a further A$250 million buyback in FY27.

04/08/2026 09:20

BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP) $60.15

We continue to believe BHP and RIO are well positioned to benefit from higher Cu prices, EV Truck adoption (reduced fuel bills) and AI efficiencies, but as there are always two sides to a coin, we’re also conscious this view is a consensus one. Hence, we are likely to remain active around our exposures towards the miners, trimming strength so we have the capacity to buy bouts of weakness.

24/07/2026 17:01

Centuria Capital (CNI) $1.455

CNI - 8.01%: It's been a terrible week for Centuria Capital (CNI), with the stock hitting a fresh 52-week low today. The sell-off has been driven primarily by a damaging private-credit controversy, amplified by the recent capital raising, with a deteriorating Australian property backdrop putting the cherry on a very sour tasting cake.
