Recent Opinion for the Income Portfolio

25/06/2026 09:17

Global X Semiconductor ETF (ASX: SEMI) $44.99

The semiconductors held together in Asia on Wednesday, with the Korean KOSPI managing to bounce over +3%, following its 10% rout on Tuesday. However, after almost doubling in less than 3-months we believe it's time to be pedantic towards this volatile and high-flying index, though the read through from Micron’s result will be a positive one in the short term.

24/06/2026 09:32

Centuria Capital (ASX: CNI) $2.03

Centuria Capital Group (CNI) has moved to strengthen its balance sheet and fund the next leg of growth, announcing a $300m equity raising at $2.00 per security. The raising comprises a $200m institutional placement and a 1-for-17 entitlement offer, with around 150m new securities to be issued.

22/06/2026 16:50

Metcash (ASX: MTS) $3.12

MTS -1.89%: Released their FY26 result this morning that was broadly in line with expectations & show earnings have stabilised, even if growth remains hard to come by. The group delivered underlying profit of $268.8m, inline with consensus, while sales were broadly flat at $17.35bn.

18/06/2026 09:43

Trade Alert – Active Growth Portfolio

We are making two changes to the Growth Portfolio.

12/06/2026 09:03

Global X Semiconductor ETF (ASX: SEMI) $39.73

We have touched on the SEMI ETF in recent weeks, a vehicle which provides investors with exposure to a portfolio of leading global semiconductor companies, including chip designers, manufacturers and equipment suppliers such as Nvidia, TSMC, Broadcom and ASML - a collection of companies lacking on the ASX.

10/06/2026 09:26

GQG Partners (ASX: GQG) $1.45

GQG Partners has been one of the more frustrating positions in our portfolios through 2026. The stock has fallen around 19% year-to-date, significantly underperforming the broader market, although investors have at least been compensated by a healthy income stream, with 7.19c per share already paid in dividends this year, equating to roughly 5%. Looking forward, the market is still forecasting a yield comfortably above 10% over the next twelve months.

09/06/2026 09:23

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Global X Semiconductor ETF (SEMI) $41.19

After 48-hours of volatile trade its hard to know how the SEMI ETF will open today hence our relatively conservative bid this morning although it would probably have been hit yesterday when the KOSPI fell more than 8% - this order may well be amended through the week.

27/05/2026 17:05

Dicker Data (ASX: DDR) $9.68

DDR +8.64%: delivered a strong start to FY26, with margins and earnings improving meaningfully as disciplined cost control continued to support the business.

26/05/2026 09:21

New Hope Corp Ltd (ASX: NHC) $5.76

New Hope advanced +4.7% on Monday, extending its annual gain to an impressive 45%, and we see no reason not to anticipate further gains over the coming months. NHC delivered a strong quarterly update last month, which we covered here; the main takeaway being that the miner is producing and selling more coal.

20/05/2026 17:08

Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure (ASX: DBI) $5.49

DBI +3%: announced FY26/27 distribution guidance of 28.62c per stapled security, an 8.5% uplift on the prior year’s guidance of 26.375c. Importantly, the company also reaffirmed its longer-term target of growing distributions by 3-7% p.a. for the foreseeable future.
