OPINION
ACTION

Opinions for stocks held in the International Equities Portfolio

09/05/2025 09:22

Trade Desk Inc (TTD US) $US59.90

Trade Desks surged higher after Q1, and EPS beat estimates after the closing bell, sending the stock up around 14% in late trade. The outlook also looks solid, with management confident that second-quarter revenue will come in above $US682mn; the street is currently looking for $US682.7mn.

08/05/2025 09:22

Barrick Mining Corp (GOLD US) $US19.40

Toronto-based Barrick Gold reported higher-than-expected earnings overnight, with production at the top end of the guidance at a time of record prices.

07/05/2025 09:25

Peabody Energy (BTU US) $US14.82

Coal stocks globally have been in a challenging spot for the past 6-months, with most down to the tune of 30-50%, with BTU US being on the weaker side. We’ve held various positions across all portfolios, and they’ve weighed on performance. Our expectation that weaker supply would meet higher demand, pushing up prices, has proven elusive.

02/05/2025 09:28

First Solar (FSLR US) US$126.57

The American-based solar technology company reported quarterly earnings late on Tuesday that were lower than expected, and they downgraded FY25 guidance. While this was not a significant shock given the weakness in the shares leading into the result, with FSLR now trading on just 7x earnings, shares did react negatively.

01/05/2025 09:26

Cameco Corp (CCJ US) $US45.15

Global uranium stocks have struggled in recent months, although Canadian-based heavyweight Cameco was trading at an all-time high in December, when local stocks were already a year into their demise.

01/05/2025 09:24

Microsoft Corp (MSFT US) $US395.26

After the market closed this morning, MSFT reported better-than-expected sales and profit, suggesting customer demand hasn’t been rattled by tariffs and wider economic uncertainty – shares were trading ~6% higher in extended trading in New York this morning.

15/04/2025 09:34

Goldman Sachs (GS US) $US503.98

Overnight, Goldman Sachs’ traders maintained the trend set by its peers, posting their highest quarterly revenue on record, helped by strong equity trading – the stock rose ~2% following the result. The results built on a record year for Goldman in 2024 when the New York-based bank lifted its revenue in its equities division by almost 50%.

10/04/2025 09:41

Albermarle Corp (ALB US) $US50.76

The impact of Trump's tariffs was huge overnight, with ALB surging over +19%, albeit from a low base. In February, this $US7bn Li goliath company announced it could generate breakeven free cash flow in 2025 without lithium prices rising, positioning it well if/when Li prices can recover some of their deep losses.

09/04/2025 09:24

Zillow (ZG US) $US59.75

Real estate platform ZG is a business we still really like despite a 30% pullback in the share price. We’ve often written it up as a top pick for the International Equities Portfolio, having initially bought mid-way through 2024 at ~$46. Like many high-growth, high-valuation stocks of late, the share price has come under significant pressure.

03/04/2025 17:19

International Equities Portfolio – Amendment

US stocks are expected to open sharply lower this evening on tariff concerns, and we are using weakness to add a new position in Goldman Sachs (GS US), a stock that will likely be a key beneficiary later in the year underpinned by pro-growth US policies around lower taxes and regulation.
