MM tackles BLD, HLS, CSR

“Hi MM Team Heading into reporting season can I have your view of the following: Boral (BLD), Healius (HLS) and CSR (CSR). Do you still see upside? regards Debbie G.

Answer

Morning Debbie,

We are bullish but expecting elevated volatility through 2021 and especially on the stock level in the coming weeks as reporting season kicks into gear. Undoubtedly some of our holdings will deliver in the remaining of the month but a couple will probably disappoint, it’s the nature of the market. However, we rarely take a profit / loss on a position before reporting around concerns about the pending news, as we often say surprises usually happen with the trend hence if stocks trading higher and the reason we bought originally is still relevant we will hold the position, or in other words pending reports rarely influence whether we buy or sell – not fool proof but nothing is.

All 3 stocks you’ve mentioned look remarkably similar and constructive on both the technical and fundamental level.

MM likes BLD, HLS and CSR

The Match Out: ASX snaps losing streak, BHP Qtly in focus

The local market shook off weakness in the US overnight to open higher, largely thanks to our Resources exposure that continues to find some support following trade sanctions on both China and Russia. Late morning saw local employment data land with the mixed numbers largely disregarded by the market. Buying picked up in the early afternoon as yields started to roll off, though equities couldn’t go on with the move, ultimately though the 5-day losing streak for the ASX was snapped with a ~0.5% gain today.

What Matters Today: Do we like Gina’s ongoing buying into rare earths?

Yesterday saw Gina Rinehart emerge as a significant player in Lynas (LYC) after taking her stake to almost 6% over the last few days, although compared to her net wealth, the purchases were a poultry drop in the ocean. LYC is the world's largest non-China producer of rare earths, although China still produces almost 70% of the world's rare earths, with Australia's ~5% output more of a supporting role. Gina's move could be largely motivated by her intention to merge US-listed MP Materials (MP US), which has a market cap. of ~$4.3bn, and the local and larger $6bn rare earth player Lynas (LYC), i.e. it would form a relative $10bn rare earth giant.
