Why 2023 could be a good year for investors
Roger Montgomery
December 19, 2022
Without a doubt, 2022 has been a tough year for equity investors. As I write, the S&P500 is down around 16.5 per cent, and the ASX200 is down around 5.5 per cent.

Perreault Resigns from CSL, having already written some of the next chapter
Roger Montgomery
December 16, 2022
When investors, like Montgomery, and our partners, Australian Eagle, talk about quality Australian companies – those with wide and deep economic moats or competitive advantages, relatively low debt, high returns on equity and growing profits – Australian biotech CSL Limited (ASX:CSL) invariably appears near the top of the list.

Is this as good as it gets for the ‘flying kangaroo’?
Roger Montgomery
November 29, 2022
Warren Buffett is no fan of airlines as an investment. He once wrote that “if a far-sighted capitalist had been present at Kitty Hawk, he would have done his successors a huge favor by shooting Orville down.” And I doubt he would change his mind when it comes to investing in Qantas (ASX:QAN). Although on face value the Aussie carrier looks to be going gangbusters, the numbers tell a slightly different story. Continue…

Elders shows it is a business for all seasons
Sean Sequeira
December 9, 2022
Elders (ASX:ELD) has been a leading Australian agribusiness since 1839. In that time, it’s gone through a number of ups and downs. But under CEO, Mark Allison, it looks to have found its groove – as reflected in the most recent results. Despite the CEO’s impending departure, we think the Elders’ business model will continue to reward investors. Continue…

Why we view Commonwealth Bank as the highest quality of the big four banks
Sean Sequeira
November 25, 2022
At Australian Eagle, the external environment is not something we can control but it is something we do pay attention to. It plays a part in our investment thesis on stocks and will always be an important consideration in terms of our assessment of the quality of a company. However, the investment team tends to focus more on the inherent fundamentals of stocks especially those involving factors under management’s control. Continue…
