OPINION

Recent Opinion for the Income Portfolio

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.

23/07/2026 09:49

BHP Group Limited (ASX: BHP) $59.76

BHP’s revision profile is a classic commodity leverage story, with broad-based earnings upgrades driven more by stronger spot prices than any single corporate catalyst. The standout is earnings (EBITDA), which has been revised up around 26% compared with a 16% lift in revenue, highlighting the operating leverage coming through the portfolio and the growing importance of copper ahead of the FY26 result on 18 August.

20/07/2026 09:28

Semiconductors

Semiconductors have dominated the financial press this month, as the “AI Trade” unwound dramatically with the Korean KOSPI correcting more than 30% in a few volatile weeks. Leverage has been a huge issue here after South Korea introduced single-stock leveraged ETFs on SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics in late May. The products attracted huge inflows into the “Hot Stocks”, with leveraged ETF assets in South Korea more than tripling to KRW 35.4 trillion by end of May 2026.

16/07/2026 09:09

BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP) $60.69

BHP has regained its “mojo” in the last five trading sessions after being weighed down by a soft copper price as tensions flared between the US and Iran, plus a strike set to commence at BHP's Port Hedland Bulk Export Terminal. Unfortunately, we can see plenty of industrial action over the coming years, with AI set to replace thousands of jobs. BHP is already well underway in reducing its headcount at its Escondida copper pit in Chile; the site went fully autonomous in January 2026 with 33 autonomous trucks and 11 autonomous drills operating around the clock.

16/07/2026 09:03

Fortescue Ltd (ASX: FMG) $19.08

FMG (-23%) has corrected deeper than most ASX miners in 2026 as iron ore dipped below US$100/MT, but we think it represents good value at current levels, especially for income, with the miner forecast to yield ~6% fully franked over the next 12-monmths - MM holds FMG in the Income Portfolio.

15/07/2026 09:45

GQG Partners Inc (ASX: GQG) $1.40

This week GQG reported FUM of $156.0bn as at June 30, 2026, down 4.5% month-on-month, and down 9.5% year-on-year from $172.4bn at June 2025. Net outflows of $3.2bn in June were the largest monthly outflow in 2026, marking 12 consecutive months of net redemptions a significant redemption cycle for a business whose revenue is almost entirely management-fee driven. Like all fund managers, GQG generates earnings from the money it manages, and as this falls, so does the company's profitability, but with the stock trading ~20% below its long-term valuation, it's priced for more bad news, and too pessimistically in our opinion, assuming it can stem the outflows.

14/07/2026 11:20

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Global X Semiconductor ETF (ASX: SEMI) $38.20

We believe the strong appetite for the SK Hynix (SKHYV US) float last week showed strong appetite into current weakness for the semiconductors and further weakness will provide excellent risk-reward in what is a very volatile space, lending itself to short term technical trading.

14/07/2026 09:55

The Korean KOSPI Index

The key question is whether the memory cycle has peaked. Samsung’s “beat but sell” reaction and SK Hynix’s sharp decline suggest the market is increasingly pricing in that risk, rather than assuming AI-driven demand has permanently reshaped the industry’s traditional boom-and-bust cycle. Even TSMC’s record revenue failed to lift sentiment, highlighting that investors now want clear evidence that AI demand can continue to justify elevated earnings expectations.

13/07/2026 09:30

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Global X Semiconductor ETF (ASX: SEMI) $39.84

10/07/2026 09:36

BHP Group (ASX: BHP) $56.87

The correlation between BHP and Spot LME Copper over the last 2-years is 0.91, a very high positive correlation, reflecting BHP's significant copper exposure and the market's tendency to price the stock as a copper proxy. BHP's copper assets, including Escondida (the world's largest copper mine) and Olympic Dam, make it one of the most copper-leveraged large-cap miners globally. And as BHP continues to grow its copper revenue, this correlation is likely to remain elevated or even strengthen over time.
