MM thoughts on SIQ, PGH & MFG

“James, If you have time could you give me your appraisal of the above 3 stocks. I am currently considering selling all 3 and was not after an in depth review just really a view on their likely potential upside ( if any) from Friday’s close or if at their current prices they are “ out of steam “ . I see that SIQ is already over Morningstar ‘s TP of $7.05. Many thanks for all your excellent efforts in the current wave pool market !!!” - Cheers Mike D.

Answer

Morning Mike,

1 – SmartGroup (SIQ) – looks great it’s actually accelerating higher, I would be inclined to stay long with stops under $7.05. I’m not a big fan of Morningstar valuations.

2 – Pact Group (PGH) – this has been a tough story over recent years but I like the risk / reward here with stops ~10% lower.

3 – Magellan Financial Group (MFG) – probably our most frustrating position in 2021, the risk / reward looks ok while the stock can hold above $47.50.

While MM remains bullish we will tend to give positions the benefit of the doubt

What Matters Today: How and when should we fade rising bond yields?

Through March and April, we discussed how indices were priced for perfection on the interest rate front. Now, as reality sets in, we consider if/when and how we should consider fading this “less dovish” outlook for US rate cuts. Just like squeezing an orange, removing the last 10% of the juice is far more complex than the first 10%, and this is the case for inflation, which has been demonstrated perfectly over recent months. However, arguably the biggest issue for the Fed and other central banks is the inflationary implications of an elevated oil price courtesy of the tensions in the Middle East, an issue well beyond the influence of Jerome Powell et al. The mantra of “higher for longer” concerning rates feels on point at the moment, which has been the subsequent cause of April's weakness in equities.
