Three reasons for not letting foreign students fly in
Andreas Lundberg
August 31, 2020
I’m a former international student, so I definitely see the value of studying abroad. But recent lobbying by our cash-strapped universities to allow foreign students to fly in over the coming weeks is, to me, quite unacceptable. I just hope our politicians agree with me. continue…

Three more winners, and a loser, from reporting season
Roger Montgomery
August 28, 2020
Reporting season has delivered few surprises. This was again borne out by the results announcements from Woolworths, Reece, Flight Centre, and Afterpay, which are all exposed to consumer spending. No prizes for guessing which ones delivered strong results, and which one did not. continue…

Roger Montgomery
August 26, 2020
The majority of companies on the ASX100 and ASX200 have now reported. Many have beaten estimates. And, reassuringly, guidance is less negative than most market watchers had expected. This brings hope that FY21 may not be so bad for equity investors after all. continue…

Is it time to invest in travel stocks?
Tim Kelley
August 24, 2020
As far as listed companies go, travel stocks are probably ground zero for COVID-19. They have been among the hardest hit in terms of business and share price impacts, and share prices generally remain well below their pre-COVID-levels. continue…

Five companies likely to benefit from a COVID-19 vaccine
Roger Montgomery
August 20, 2020
As with everything else, there are two camps when it comes to investment conditions today. There are two camps regarding whether the market is expensive (it probably is), whether economic conditions are deteriorating or improving, whether governments and central banks can continue Keynesian intervention indefinitely, and there’s two schools of thought as to whether there’ll be a vaccine. continue…

AGL faces the perfect storm
Andreas Lundberg
August 17, 2020
In what’s been a terrible year for the energy sector, AGL is the latest company to disappoint. Its full-year results included a steep drop in profits and signalled that there’s worse to come next year.
