OPINION
ACTION

Recent Opinion for the Income Portfolio

06/11/2025 17:41

Amcor (AMC) $12.78

AMC +5.01%: Shares rallied after delivering its first full quarter result, post merger with Berry Global – the result comfortably ahead of expectations. The company reported a 4% EPS beat, underpinned by strong packaging demand and initial cost synergies beginning to flow through.

27/10/2025 10:14

Active Income Portfolio – Amendments

We are making two changes to the Income Portfolio

15/10/2025 09:35

Amcor (AMC) $12.28

We covered Amcor recently as an interesting, deep value turnaround opportunity, though noting it had some near-term earnings challenges.

09/10/2025 09:18

APA Group (APA) $9.02

APA continues to trade around the psychological $9 area, near its 2-year high, and almost 40% above its 2025 low. The stock is well supported by its sustainable yield of more than 6.5%, part franked.

09/10/2025 09:16

BHP Group (BHP) $41.89

The “Big Australian” has started to play some performance catch up over recent months although its been a laggard of late as it arm wrestles with Beijing around future contracts and pricing. With iron ore continuing to look comfortable above $US100/mt and copper nudging new all-time highs, we believe broker upgrades are a matter of time, with its 4% fully franked yield a bonus, i.e. we like BHP for growth and yield.

09/10/2025 09:15

National Storage REIT (NSR) $2.36

As we mentioned earlier the real estate sector has come off the boil of late with NSR trading 7% below its 2025 high, nothing dramatic but noticeable. This storage company has been in and around M&A activity in recent times, which rarely hurts and combined with the trend towards higher density living, increasing the demand for storage, we like NSR, supported by its 4.8% unfranked dividend.

02/10/2025 09:31

BHP Group (BHP) $41.47

BHP and China are negotiating around the price of contract renewals. China needs BHP’s ore, and BHP needs to sell it to them, so we expect a resolution in the next week or so, hopefully it doesn’t squeeze BHP too hard.

01/10/2025 09:15

Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure (DBI) $4.41

There has been a lot going on in DBI in recent months, with its inclusion in the ASX 200 index and the complete sell-down by its largest shareholder, Brookfield. The exit played out in two blocks. The first came in June, when Barrenjoey handled the sale of 115m shares for $428m at $3.72, a ~7% discount to the prevailing price.

18/09/2025 09:51

Amcor PLC (AMC) $12.50

Amcor’s peers are also grappling with subdued consumer demand in North America and margin pressure from cost inflation and supply chain challenges, leaving the broader sector struggling in the post-COVID environment. While AMC’s own performance has been mixed, its scale and recent acquisition provide opportunities to leverage synergies. The key risk lies in executing on those synergies and preserving profitability as market conditions soften. Market conditions are clearly tough, although they are cyclical more than structural for AMC.
