Thoughts on MLD & NXT

Hi there James and the team,

Can I get your thoughts on Maca (MLD)? Are they fundamentally good? Looking very oversold. Also, Next DC (NXT). How are they looking fundamentally?

Thanks

Kim

Answer

Hi Kim,

MLD is a mid-size mining services business which has fallen fairly dramatically in line with the whole sector which is battling with cost pressures. They are fundamentally sound, simply going through a tough period. Yesterday we saw ALS (ALQ) report very strong numbers from their resource division which does testing. This is another datapoint that shows the mining sector is spending money on new mine development which has a positive read through for the contractors.

We continue to hold NRW Holdings (NWH) and Monadelphous (MND) because we believe they are cheap at current levels but it’s been an uncomfortable journey. We discussed NEXTDC (NXT) earlier in the week liking the stock around $11.

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.
