OPINION
ACTION

Opinions for stocks held in the International Equities Portfolio

14/08/2026 09:21

JD.com Inc-ADR (NASDAQ: JD) US$29.30

JD.com delivered a better-than-expected second quarter, with profit comfortably ahead of consensus despite softer revenue. The key positive was a clear improvement in earnings quality, helped by solid profitability in the core retail business and continued narrowing of losses in food delivery.

14/08/2026 09:19

YETI Holdings Inc (NYSE: YETI) US$45.47

YETI delivered a strong second-quarter result, with earnings and margins comfortably ahead of expectations, but shares fell ~10% on softer drinkware growth and a second-half outlook that looks a little light relative to consensus.

12/08/2026 09:28

Barrick Mining (NYSE: B) US$40.13

Barrick provided a quarterly update on Monday night in the US and produced a reasonable second quarter operationally, with stronger-than-expected gold production and costs helping earnings (EBITDA) beat expectations. However, the result was overshadowed by its agreement with Newmont over Nevada Gold Mines, with some obvious disappointment around the implied valuation of Barrick’s highly regarded Fourmile project.

07/08/2026 09:54

The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) $US17.67

The Trade Desk delivered a weak 2Q result after the close and issued a disappointing outlook, sending shares down ~20% after hours. Revenue growth slowed to just 3%, while earnings and EBITDA both missed consensus.

05/08/2026 09:32

Spotify Tech. (NYSE: SPOT) US$478.17

Spotify delivered a broadly solid second quarter, with operating profit, margins and premium subscriber growth ahead of expectations. However, shares traded modestly lower, down 1.7%, after third-quarter guidance for monthly active users and operating income fell short of consensus.

05/08/2026 09:30

Novo Nordisk (ADR: NVO) US$44.28

Novo delivered a stronger-than-expected second quarter at the sales and adjusted operating-profit level, while upgrading FY26 guidance for the second time this year. However, the shares fell ~6% due to weaker margins, elevated R&D charges and Wegovy pill sales that only just met expectations.

04/08/2026 09:26

First Solar Inc ( NASDAQ: FSLR) US$232.73

First Solar (FSLR), held in the Market Matters International Equities Portfolio, delivered a solid second-quarter result after market on Thursday, with earnings comfortably ahead of expectations and its contracted backlog extending through 2030. Shares were muted on Friday, but popped 10% overnight, making FSLR the strongest performer in the S&P 500 on Monday.

03/08/2026 09:38

Cameco Corp (NYSE: CCJ) $US86.38

Cameco delivered a weaker-than-expected second quarter update on Friday, with earnings and revenue missing forecasts as uranium production was disrupted by difficult spring road conditions in northern Saskatchewan and earnings from Westinghouse fell sharply.
