Opinions for stocks held in the International Equities Portfolio

Ashland (NYSE: ASH) $US72.84

A solid +7% bounce in Ashland shares overnight after they  delivered a good third-quarter result, with sales and earnings ahead of expectations and full-year guidance maintained.

Read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) $US34.24

An encouraging update from CMG overnight,  delivering a better second-quarter result and upgraded its full-year sales outlook. The stock was up +2% in normal hours however the result landed post close, with the shares rallying ~5% after hours.

Read more

UBS Group (NYSE: UBS) $US51.80

UBS dropped their 2Q results this week and it was solid as expected. Earnings, wealth inflows and investment banking all ahead of expectations. The bank also announced a new US$3 billion buyback.

Read more

Peabody Energy Corp (NYSE BTU) US420.82

Peabody dropped their 2Q result overnight and they were a clear miss. Adjusted EBITDA came in well below expectations, driven by a loss-making Seaborne Metallurgical segment on persistent Centurion mine commissioning issues, a weak Powder River Basin performance, and elevated costs across the business. The stock fell more than 10% by the session's end.

Blackstone (BX US) $US124.50

We hold Blackstone in the International Equities Portfolio, and they delivered a strong 2Q result overnight, with earnings, inflows and realisations all comfortably ahead of expectations. The stock has been weak leading into this result, and while it saw only a modest gain (+1.4%), the underlying fundamentals remain supportive.

Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) $US63.50

Freeport-McMoRan delivered a better-than-expected second quarter, with stronger realised commodity prices and solid copper volumes offsetting lower production from Grasberg.

Read more

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) $US342.09

Alphabet (GOOGL) delivered a strong second-quarter result, with revenue and earnings ahead of expectations and Google Cloud the clear standout. However, the shares fell around ~5% after hours as investors focused on another sharp increase in capital expenditure and the likelihood that AI-related spending will remain elevated.

Read more

YETI Holdings Inc (NYSE: YETI) US$47.34

YETI has now reached our initial target and is trading near the top of its recent range following a strong recovery in the share price. We continue to like the business and remain comfortable holding it in the International Equities Portfolio, although the position now warrants a more disciplined approach after the gains already delivered.

Read more

UBS Group AG (NYSE: UBS) US$53.82

Like YETI covered above, UBS has now also reached our initial target and is trading toward the top of its recent range following a solid recovery in the share price. We continue to like the business and remain comfortable holding it in the International Equities Portfolio, although the near-term risk-reward is less compelling after the recent gains.
