Opinions for stocks held in the International Equities Portfolio

Spotify (NASDAQ: SPOT) $US489.93

A very interesting investor day held by Spotify overnight, laying out a series of ambitious long-term targets and a broader premium product roadmap. The most obvious aspect we took from this update was that Spotify wants the market to think less about quarterly subscriber volatility and more about its ability to grow revenue, expand margins and monetise its very large user base more effectively over time. This is a big shift away from a land grab type approach to one focussed on sensible monetisation of their huge 300m user base.

IREN Ltd (Nasdaq: IREN) $US47.74

It has been a big couple of weeks for IREN after the company announced a five-year, US$3.4bn AI cloud contract with Nvidia, a deal that materially improves revenue visibility and gives its neocloud strategy a major endorsement. Nvidia has also been granted the right to buy up to 30 million IREN shares at $US70, representing a potential $US2.1bn investment. For a company still transitioning from bitcoin mining toward AI infrastructure, this is a significant validation point.

YETI Holdings (NYSE:YETI) $US40.69

YETI delivered a solid 1Q result overnight and raised FY26 guidance. The stock opened up over 15% higher, before closing up ‘only’ 6%. The outdoor lifestyle brand continues to show decent pricing power and consumer relevance across its core categories of drinkware, coolers and equipment, while the wholesale channel was the standout, suggesting retailers are restocking and/or giving more shelf space to new products. The offset was softer direct-to-consumer momentum, some international softness and the ongoing risk that tariffs and a weaker US consumer environment start to bite later in the year.

JD.com Inc. (Nasdaq: JD) US$31.49

JD.com delivered a better-than-expected March quarter result overnight, with revenue and profit ahead of expectations, while the key positive was evidence that losses in its newer businesses, particularly food delivery, are narrowing. We own JD.com in the International Equities Portfolio, and while the stock has been weighed down by concerns around China’s consumer backdrop and aggressive food-delivery competition, this result should help rebuild some confidence that the core retail business remains profitable and management is getting better control of investment spend.

Freeport McMoRan Inc (NYSE:FCX) $US64.37

Freeport had a good session overnight gaining +4.4%, following the copper price higher, recovering from some recent weakness after the company reduced 2026 copper and gold sales forecasts because of operational delays at the Grasberg mine in Indonesia — specifically wet ore conditions at Grasberg Block Cave that are bottlenecking material handling infrastructure.

Barrick Mining Corp (NYSE: B) $US47.00

Barrick delivered a strong March quarter result, with earnings ahead of expectations, gold sales better than forecast, costs materially lower while the Board authorised a US$3bn share buyback. Shares rallied 9.2%.

Read more

Cameco (CCJ US) $US114.46

A strong March-quarter result from Cameco, with the uranium producer beating expectations across earnings, revenue, production and gross profit. The result was driven by higher uranium sales volumes, a better average realised uranium price and a growing contribution from Westinghouse, reinforcing the broader investment case around nuclear energy and long-term uranium demand. Management also maintained FY26 guidance, which we thought would have been taken positively, and it was initially, however the stock reversed lower throughout the session to finish down -3.2%.

Peabody Energy (BTU US) $US25.00

A soft March-quarter result confirmed by Peabody overnight, with the market focusing on a sizeable earnings (EBITDA) miss and ongoing delays at Centurion. The key issue remains execution at Centurion, Peabody’s metallurgical coal growth asset in Queensland, where commissioning issues constrained production.

Read more

First Solar (FSLR US) $US219.38

First Solar’s 1Q result released on Friday (1st May) was a solid one, with earnings ahead of expectations as stronger margins helped offset some of the tariff-related pressure hitting the sector.

Read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG US) $US32.31

Chipotle’s 1Q result released on the 30th April should be good enough to steady the ship, with comparable sales coming in ahead of low expectations and April trends showing some early improvement. The stock had already been de-rated meaningfully, so while the numbers were not spectacular in absolute terms, they were better than feared.
