Opinions for stocks held in the International Equities Portfolio

Snowflake (SNOW US) $US170.72

The rise of AI is obviously getting a lot of airtime, and rightly so, this is one of the ‘Megatrends’ that will remain in the spotlight for many years to come, however, for now, it’s the large, well-known beneficiaries of this theme that are attracting the most attention. The companies that run the cloud, Amazon, Google, Microsoft & Oracle, and the providers of processing power such as Nvidia (NVDA US),  but there are many other companies in the space that MM should stay firmly across, Snowflake being one of those we already hold in the International Equities Portfolio, and while the position is up ~20%, it has underperformed.

Trade Desk Inc (TTD US) $US67.53

 A very volatile week for a traditionally very volatile stock. The advertising technology company with a market capitalisation of $US33bn last week reported a 25% year-over-year revenue increase to $493m in Q3, putting them on a YTD run rate of $US1.34bn, up 23% YoY. Despite these very strong earnings numbers, which were ahead of expectations, shares fell ~16% after the result

First Solar Inc (FSLR) $US149.17

The designer and manufacturer of solar modules that use thin film technology reported Q3 results last week that were mixed; however, it seems positioning ahead of these numbers was also on the more cautious side i.e. a fair amount of negativity already priced in

UBS Group (UBS) US$24.89

While the headline numbers overnight showed a loss in Q3 of $785m, its first in nearly 6-years, the traction they are getting with the CS business is becoming more obvious, with $US22bn in net new money flowing from CS clients into the UBS wealth business in the quarter (v expectations of $US14bn)

Cameco Corp (CCJ US) $US40.91

Cameco reported quarterly earnings that were ahead of expectations overnight and talked to a strong backdrop for ongoing strength in the global Uranium market – shares rose 8.06%. Q3 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.32 compared to $0.03 at the same time last year, driven by higher production (+50%), which has met an environment of higher prices, prompting an upgrade to their full-year revenue forecasts.

Microsoft Corp (MSFT US) $US337.31

MSFT shares rose last week after delivering its fiscal first-quarter earnings report – the earnings numbers were solid, as was the outlook for certain segments, including the company’s Azure cloud unit and the anticipated rollout of Microsoft's artificial intelligence product Copilot.

Freeport McMoran (FCX US) $US35.27

Overnight, high quality global Copper company Freeport McMoran beat earnings expectations with their 3rd quarter. Revenue of $US5.82bn compared well to the $US5.53bn expected which drove a beat at the earnings line, with EPS of 39c versus consensus of 32c. Overall a good result that just lacked a firm market to enjoy any gains.

Blackstone (BX US) $US94.63

Overnight, the world's largest manager of alternative assets, such as private equity and real estate missed earnings estimates as high-interest rates weighed on asset values prompting lower than expected earnings. While higher rates were an issue, the environment for deal making is ‘slow’ to say the least which has prompted them to hold assets for longer than they usually would.

Wells Fargo & Co (WFC US) $US41.65

WFC reported a strong 3rd quarter revenue of $US20.9bn, an impressive +7% increase on the same period last year. The gain was propelled by an 8% rise in net interest income to $13.1 billion, primarily attributed to higher interest rates. Profits increased +61% year over year to $US5.7bn, affirming the bank's growth trajectory – nothing not to like in these numbers apart from what comes next if/when bond yields stabilise or decline.

Cameco Corp (CCJ US) $US36.18

The journey of uranium and its related stock continues to be a volatile one, and in the short term, we may have been better placed to have taken some profits into last month's explosive move. However, we are bullish over the medium; hence, we are likely to remain fussy on the sell side unless we see a fundamental reason to change our view on nuclear energy and the shortage of uranium over the years ahead.
