What are MM’s thoughts on CGC?

Hi James Costa reported Tues and the market liked it -CGC +8.67% This was all reversed the next day. How did the sentiment change soo quickly. What is the current view on Costa? regards Deb

Answer

Hi Deb,

I think the move by Costa group (CGC) illustrates how skittish equities have become in 2022. The change in sentiment generally comes from management articulating / discussing the result on investor calls – providing more context to the announced numbers. Being on calls, meeting with management we think is important and it’s what we spend the bulk of our time doing during reporting (I was not on the CGC call though). Taking into account its shocking performance over the last year MM wouldn’t be tempted to buy this fruit & vegetable business unless it plumbed fresh 12-month lows i.e. around the $2.50 area.

The Match Out: CPI dents equity rally ahead of ANZAC Day

Equities followed the US market higher this morning, also adding a little premium thanks to a handful of positive quarterly reports that were announced after the North American markets closed. That all took a back seat as inflation data printed late morning, CPI coming in hotter than expected which sent the market into a spin, falling ~0.6% at the time before finding some relief. In the end, the index closed little changed, a good result given the circumstances though largely thanks to support from the Big 4 banks.

Portfolio Positioning: Bonds fell, dragging stocks along for the ride, both are now basing in our opinion

Bond markets have struggled over recent weeks as inflation appeared increasingly “sticky,” but it hardly registers on the chart compared to their weakness through 2021/2 and mid-2023. We believe the local credit markets have come back to realistic levels as the RBA awaits further economic data to deliver clarity on the underlying strength and direction of the local economy. Traders have gone from being far too optimistic on rate cuts into Christmas to becoming almost pessimistic; the US futures markets have gone from pricing in three cuts to 1.77 cuts, or one definitely, and probably two.
