What’s happening with Woolworths class action case

“Good Morning MM Team, can you give any detail on the Woolworths decision to settle the class action. I bought their shares in the specified period but can’t seem to find if I get a payout or how much it would be.” - Thanks, Richard L.

Answer

Morning Richard,

As you know the relevant period for the Woolworths (WOW) class action is August 29^th 2014 and May5, 2015, I imagine at this stage you will receive a proportional $$ amount depending on the volume of shares purchased once all the red tape is finalised and of course WOW’s offer has been accepted.

MM believes WOW is looking to pay $4.5m to the impacted shareholders

The Match Out: ASX (nearly) gives up week’s gain in tough Friday session

The local market dropped ~100 points on the open, failing to see any reprieve following two weaker sessions out in the US since our close on Wednesday. After dropping back below 7600 the index traded in a reasonably tight 30-point range for the rest of the session, failing to join in on the rally across the region and what’s showing on the US Futures ahead of their Friday session. BHP managed to take 31pts off the market alone today, weakness coming after they lobbed an all scrip bid for Anglo American (AAL LN). Despite the soggy end to the week, the ASX200 finished marginally higher, +8pts / +0.11%.

What Matters Today: With rate hikes back on the table, are retail stocks too expensive?

The ASX consumer discretionary (retail) stocks have demonstrated their need for a strong bond market. In the short term, we remain concerned they’ve disconnected slightly from the influential credit markets. Futures markets are starting to price in the risk of rate hikes in 2024, with some well-respected economists becoming increasingly hawkish. Judo Bank’s Warren Hogan is calling for three hikes to 5.1%; previously, he was looking for cuts in 2025, but the recent hot inflation data has seen him reverse this outlook. We feel the call for rates to hit 5.1% in 2024 is too aggressive, but we cannot see Michele Bullock considering rate cuts until the inflation genie is firmly back in the bottle.
