Opinions for stocks held in the International Equities Portfolio

Goldman Sachs (GS US) $US708.82

Goldman’s stock traders posted the largest quarterly revenue haul in Wall Street history, as volatility sparked by the Trump administration’s trade war spurred a second straight record quarter for the unit. That drove a beat across pretty much all financial metrics:

09/07/2025 09:41

Goldman Sachs (GS US) $US697.28

Commonwealth Bank (CBA) is not the only financial institution trading on a valuation well above its historical norm. Goldman Sachs now trades at a 44% premium to its usual book value, and nearly 30% premium to its usual PE valuation. While uncommon, it’s not without precedent. GS has traded in a broad valuation range since listing in 1999 - on its first trading day, it actually finished up over 40%, which equated to 5x book value at the time.

We are trimming Cameco (CCJ US)

28/05/2025 09:35

Alphabet (GOOGL US) $US172.90

The concern around Google is how newer generative AI companies will impact their share of search, and the lucrative revenue that comes with it. In last week’s annual developers conference (I/O), they did a very good job of convincing MM (and hopefully others) that they are at the forefront of this revolution, by integrating generative AI and large language models (LLMs) into its search products.

26/05/2025 09:21

Chart of the Week – Cameco Corp (CCJ US)

This $US25bn US uranium stock puts the ASX sector to shame. It's about to make new highs while local names languish in ugly bear markets—at least for now. Following President Trump's commentary, we believe the US is going to push ever harder into nuclear power, driving up stocks like CCJ in the process.

21/05/2025 09:30

HCA Healthcare (HCA US) $US386.05

HCA has been good to us over the years, presenting several separate opportunities to buy it on a depressed valuation before experiencing a re-rate higher, and we’ve locked in good gains.

14/05/2025 09:24

First Solar (FSLR US) $US191.60

Renewable stocks were in focus overnight after the House Republicans released a draft framework to extend President Trump's tax cuts, which would also overhaul President Joe Biden's climate law, eliminating or phasing out tax credits for renewables, forecast to save the government more than $560 billion on energy tax credits over 10 years. Important to recognise that this is just a first crack at reducing the amount given back to renewables companies to help fund Trump’s wider tax cuts, but it does show where the focus will be, and who the likely winners and losers are.

14/05/2025 09:23

JD.com (JD US) $US 37.25

We haven’t owned JD.com long however there’s been a lot thrown at the position since we entered in early February around ~US$40. A leading player in Chinese e-commerce, JD has been in the cross hairs of sentiment swings around China facing equities; however, operationally, they’ve been performing, overnight reporting the fastest pace of sales growth since 2022, thanks in part to consumer-targeted stimulus that subsidises purchases of electronics and household appliances.

13/05/2025 09:25

Cameco Corp (CCJ US) $US51.16

Canadian-based heavyweight uranium producer CCJ was trading within 19% of its all-time high overnight before drifting into the close, a dream position for the local peers. The pullback from its highs last night suggests some consolidation around $US50 is likely after its 45% recovery.

13/05/2025 09:21

First Solar Inc (FSLR US) $US156.21

Plenty of pockets of the markets illustrated how relative performance can unfold into Christmas as risk regains the ascendancy. A couple of beaten-up stocks in our International Equities Portfolio ran hard overnight, including First Solar (FSLR US), YETI Holdings (YETI US), and The Trade Desk (TTD US), new wave of optimism washed through stocks, i.e. what trade war, what recession!
