Thoughts on Whitehaven Coal (WHC)

Hi James & Team. I have done well buying WHC following your recommendation & adding to the position in light of the positive outlook from your analyst. Does your team expect further upside in WHC amidst the current market volatility & what is the target price? Thanks & regards, Sidney.

Answer

Hi Sidney,

We are still bullish WHC but I wouldn’t be surprised to see some rotation around the $2.80-$3.60 region over the coming weeks / months following its huge rally, however we believe it represents great value into any weakness under $3.

The Match Out: ASX snaps losing streak, BHP Qtly in focus

The local market shook off weakness in the US overnight to open higher, largely thanks to our Resources exposure that continues to find some support following trade sanctions on both China and Russia. Late morning saw local employment data land with the mixed numbers largely disregarded by the market. Buying picked up in the early afternoon as yields started to roll off, though equities couldn’t go on with the move, ultimately though the 5-day losing streak for the ASX was snapped with a ~0.5% gain today.

What Matters Today: Do we like Gina’s ongoing buying into rare earths?

Yesterday saw Gina Rinehart emerge as a significant player in Lynas (LYC) after taking her stake to almost 6% over the last few days, although compared to her net wealth, the purchases were a poultry drop in the ocean. LYC is the world's largest non-China producer of rare earths, although China still produces almost 70% of the world's rare earths, with Australia's ~5% output more of a supporting role. Gina's move could be largely motivated by her intention to merge US-listed MP Materials (MP US), which has a market cap. of ~$4.3bn, and the local and larger $6bn rare earth player Lynas (LYC), i.e. it would form a relative $10bn rare earth giant.
