February 2021 Reporting Season
Joseph Kim
February 8, 2021
We enter the February 2021 reporting season with a materially different backdrop to the one faced by investors in August 2020. Expectations have been rebased significantly upwards – along with share prices – suggesting a more even risk-reward skew for share price direction in terms of upside/downside due to earnings surprises. continue…

Bubble, bubble toil and no trouble!
Roger Montgomery
February 3, 2021
There are a number of arguments being advanced to suggest the stock market is in a gigantic bubble that is at risk of bursting imminently. Some of the arguments relate to broad overvaluation, the tidal wave of overpriced IPOs that double on listing, and the observation that interest rates remaining low forever is tantamount to the unrealistic, and previously unrealised, expectation of high rates of earnings growth being sustained forever. continue…

Key things to look for in the February reporting season
Joseph Kim
January 25, 2021
In this week’s video insight Joseph discusses the upcoming reporting season. We enter the February 2021 reporting season in a very different state to August last year, where expectations for the broader market had been revised downward due to concerns over the impact of coronavirus. We expect most sectors to be cautiously optimistic in their outlook statements given the rebound we have seen to date. Joseph identifies the sectors with pockets of clear strength.

How long will the recent outperformance of the banks last?
Stuart Jackson
January 21, 2021
In this week’s video insight Stuart discusses how the banks are positioned with a less economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic than first anticipated. Since the pre-COVID market high on 20 February 2020, the banks have generated a loss of 7 per cent compared to a loss of 3 per cent of the broader market over the same period, despite share prices outperforming in recent months. The Price to Earnings multiple of the banks have been falling for some time as a result of margin compression and higher capital requirements reducing their return generated on incremental equity invested. Will we see any special dividends from the banks as bad debt loan provisions are unwound?

The winners and losers of 2020
Scott Phillips
January 13, 2021
A lot will be written about events in calendar year 2020 and the impact COVID-19 had on many facets of our lives, not to mention the huge volatility in financial markets. Interestingly, when we look in isolation at the calendar year returns of the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index (which includes the returns from dividends), the market was up a tiny 1.4 per cent. continue…

Welcome to 2021. Play what is in front of you.
David Buckland
January 12, 2021
In this week’s video insight David identifies why as investors we can only play what is in front of us. In reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, Central Banks have been printing money so Governments – which are running substantial deficits – can pay for financial assets, welfare programs, infrastructure and salaries for public servants. Productivity reform is largely ignored, and together with ageing demographics and indebtedness, there is a handbrake to future economic growth. So, for 2021, what is in front of us?
