What to do with Service Stream (SSM)?

Hi James ,

Could you please comment on SSM, it has been disappointing and does not appear to be able to bounce in this strong market ...still worth holding as an income stock?

Many Thanks.

Answer

Hi There,

I actually have friends that used to work for SSM who were made redundant 6-months ago but they are now being taken back on as contractors as the company wins back work. MM feels SSM is looking for a low around 90c with the risk / reward attractive at current prices, if they do maintain a dividend in August the stock will look attractive as both a potential yield and capital appreciation play.

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.

The Match Out: Gold and Oil left behind again, Equities tick higher

Investors continued the 180-degree about-face from last week's sentiment, happy to take on risk for the second consecutive day to start this week seeing the ASX200 through a 200pt gain from Friday’s panic lows early in today’s session. Tech was the standout as US 2yr yields retreated (marginally) from the spike above 5% last week while Healthcare and Financials also joined in the rebound. Energy and Gold were the main areas finding it tough again today, for the same geopolitical reasons as Monday’s session.
