Hi Geoffrey,
For those not familiar with LAU its a transport & logistics business with a market cap. of $333mn, we still like it as a candidate for our Emerging Companies Portfolio – their FY23 result was solid including record revenue of $676mn and a 2H fully franked dividend of 3cps taking its forecasted yield for the next 12-months up to the 6.8% area.
However if we do see an economic slowdown or recession LAU will struggle which is a prime reason for the stocks decline through 2023, it will be a beneficiary of falling inflation without a recession, i.e. the “Goldilocks” scenario,
