Thoughts on St Barbara (SBM) & Genesis (GMD) please

What is the base cost for Genesis shares on the demerger and what is the base cost adjustment for St Barbara. Please provide a detailed calculation on a sample original St Barbara holding.

Answer

Hi Graeme,

Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to the above question.

St Barbara shareholders received ~0.25 GMD shares for every 1 SBM share held at the record date. The company has applied for a class ruling from the ATO regarding this distribution and this is where the cost base will come from. It is best to consult with a tax professional regarding the impact on shareholders. We provide General Advice only, we cannot provide personal advice or comment on your individual circumstances.

Weekend Q&A: As we approach the EOFY, the ASX200 is flirting with its all-time high

The ASX 200 rallied on the final trading day of May, closing up +0.3% for the session, leaving the index just ~2% below its all-time high. Overall, an excellent performance by the Australian bourse, advancing +3.8% for the month, shrugging off the ongoing uncertainty around tariffs and rising long-dated bond yields. However, a more dovish than expected RBA, a strong banking sector, suspicions of overseas buying, and a market caught underweight stocks after their dramatic “V-shaped” recovery from Trump's “Liberation Day” was enough to drive the local market back towards the 8600 area. With pullbacks well supported in one of the most hated bullish advances that we can recall, it makes for a compelling argument that new highs are just around the corner.
