MM thoughts on Evolution Mining (EVN) SPP

Hi MM,

What are your thoughts on the Evolution Mining SPP?

Thanks

Mic W

Answer

Hi Mic,

Evolution (EVN) announced their share purchase plan (SPP) in late July at $3.85, the same price paid by institutional or the volume-weighted average price of Evolution shares traded on the ASX during the five trading days up to, and including, the 20^th of this month, less a discount of 2.5% – whichever is lower. With the stock currently hovering around $3.95, around 40% below the high of 2020, the former feels the likely ultimate SPP price.

We like Gold at current levels and while we have a definite preference for Newcrest (NCM) at this juncture, for those with some patience the SPP for EVN makes some sense, although the discount now is a very slim one.

Weekend Q&A: Volatility spiked on Friday after Israel launches strikes on Iran

The ASX200 endured a week to remember, closing down -2.8% on concerns that interest rates will remain “higher for longer” and increasing concerns that the Middle East tensions will deteriorate further after Israel retaliated against Iran following last week's drone attack. It's hard to imagine an amicable conclusion to the current problems in the Middle East, but we all hope it doesn't become another painful, prolonged affair like the Ukraine–Russia war, which has now entered its 26th month.

The Match Out: Middle East tensions see risk off for equities

Shares tracked pre-market futures lower early in our session before headlines of a further escalation in the Middle Eastern conflict caused another wave of selling took the market to 2 month lows. Energy found support with oil cracking $US90/bbl again which was also a concern for those positioned for inflation to roll off. Until midday, traders had no interest in taking risk in today’s session but the afternoon painted a different picture. The ASX closed well off the intraday lows with many sectors rallying more than 0.5% between midday and the end of trade. Despite the Friday afternoon fight, the local market had its worst week since September, falling -220pts / -2.83%.
