This week we will continue looking at reporting season with a look at two companies that saw challenging trading conditions in the half as a result of Covid-19 impacts and explain why their outlook for FY22 is strong. Many companies saw tougher trading conditions but not all were able to navigate through the half without a severe impact on operations. Further, January has been impacted by omicron but, looking forward, we are starting to see a more normalised trading environment.

Continuing on with our reporting season notes, we will cover a few more of our key holdings across TAMIM’s Australian equity portfolios. There has been increased uncertainty across markets as geopolitical tensions in eastern Europe have come to a head alongside hawkish central bank commentary. Any company even remotely connected to the word ‘growth’ is apparently tainted and has been sold down accordingly.
Over the next few weeks we will be providing commentary on half yearly results for some of our key holdings. During February companies report their half yearly results for the period ending December 31st while also providing an outlook for the full year results. Companies will typically host a conference call with investors and you'll hear just about every analyst asking management to “provide more colour” to the results in the Q&A section to get as much commentary as possible on why the numbers came out the way they did and what to expect for the next set of results. This week we will discuss the results of MNY and SWM.
2022 hasn’t started like most people were hoping with January being the worst start to a year on record, the S&P500 being down -11%, at one point. The ten largest stocks on the index were down -20% at one point and the average Nasdaq stock was down -50%. In Australia, the tech index hit an intra month low of -25% while the Small Ords was down -13% at one stage. This week we have seen a bounce back in equity markets but one could argue that we are in bear market territory based on some of those figures, yet there’s no global recession in sight.
Ron Shamgar lays out the investment thesis for a stock he believes will soon be the subject of a takeover offer.
This week we are looking at a small cap company that is providing software solutions to the hospitality sector while also expanding into overseas markets with huge addressable opportunities. The company has a market cap of only $100m and has mostly gone unnoticed to date, without any media coverage, even though they have been growing quickly, making acquisitions and are now EBITDA positive. The events and hospitality industry are clear post lockdown winners and the companies that provide the sector with services will benefit accordingly.
This week we will be writing about one of our core holdings, one that the market hasn’t been very optimistic about. In doing this we will look at why we think the market has this one wrong. Sometimes the best opportunities come from running toward the fire and figuring out if the situation is quite as bad as everyone thinks. Often in investing, if you find yourself on the same side as the majority that’s when you should be asking yourself all the questions.
Over the past few weeks we have been covering stocks we believe are poised to benefit from the ongoing reopening of Australia and New Zealand. This week we will be writing about a small cap payments company that should be a huge beneficiary of this reopening thematic.
This week we’re looking at a small cap retail stock that is offering investors a concentrated bet on the reopening theme. In 2020 we saw a huge shift in sentiment towards stocks that were benefiting from a covid-19 environment. Companies such as Pushpay (PPH.ASX) and Redbubble (RBL.ASX), we bought both heading into the pandemic, were huge beneficiaries. Heading into Christmas, the covid winners and now the covid losers and retail stocks are starting to grab more attention. With Australia exiting lockdowns there is a lot of pent up demand for retail spending, what we like to call revenge spending.
This week we are writing about a pair of financial services companies that are growing, have tailwinds and are trading at what we believe to be bargain prices. In the wake of the 2019 Royal Commission we have seen huge changes in the Australian financial services industry. There has been a structural shift away from banks by consumers, igniting the fintech scene in Australia. Non-bank lenders have also been beneficiaries but we feel it is a sector that has been overlooked by investors and offers some quality businesses that are growing their loan books at attractive margins.
A few weeks ago we covered a key holding in the TAMIM Global Mobility portfolio, a fully integrated lithium company called Albemarle (ALB.NYSE) that is poised to benefit from increased production of electric vehicles. This week we revisit lithium and take a look at three heavyweight ASX stocks that are shaping up as market leaders.
This week we will be writing about a small cap education stock that has undergone a huge structural change as a result of a major partnership that is transformative to the business. We believe the market isn’t giving due credit for the magnitude of this partnership and the stock is presenting as a compelling opportunity for investors.
This week we look at two stocks that are growing through strategic acquisition plans and are set to benefit from Australia’s imminent reopening and easing of restrictions. While they are both in very different industries, they have been performing well and we believe they are good companies to own heading into the reopening tailwinds.
This week we thought it may be pertinent to revisit our thesis around iron ore and in particular look at the big three players given the brutal nature of recent sell-offs of all three. Is it perhaps time to buy?
This week we look at a small cap telco company that we believe is misunderstood and is offering significant upside. The company has been gaining a significant share of the SME telco market on the back of a strategic M&A plan, leading to transformative acquisitions for the company. Given the synergies made possible by the takeovers, the company is now looking extremely cheap.
This week brings us to the last in our series on the search for quality dividend yields with Cromwell Property Group (CMW.ASX) and Worley Ltd (WOR.ASX) rounding out our journey.
Ron Shamgar provides an update on a number of the companies held in TAMIM's Australian equities portfolios.
This week brings us to the second to last in our series on the search for quality dividend yield, looking at Bapcor (BAP.ASX) and G8 Education (GEM.ASX).
Once again we are focusing on the search for dividend yield, this week looking at Inghams (ING.ASX) and Monadelphous (MND.ASX).
This week we discuss a hidden gem on the ASX and one which we believe has the ultimate investment exposure in a Covid world. With the company only listing three months ago it is yet to receive much attention from fund managers and brokers, yet it is highly profitable and on an upgrade cycle. Find out which stock below.
This week we continue our series focusing on investments paying strong dividends while still remaining good investment propositions. The first is a dividend on a growth stock, Sonic Healthcare (SHL.ASX), while the second encompasses a value stock, GPT Group (GPT.ASX).
This week we continue our look at dividend yielding stocks with two companies that make reasonable investment propositions. One rather unloved by the market, Aurizon Holdings Ltd (AZJ.ASX), and the other reasonably fair value, APA Group (APA.ASX), but both offering steady long-term dividend streams.
Following on from his popular webinar last week, Ron Shamgar provides an update on a number of the companies held in TAMIM's Australian equities portfolios.
As markets across the globe continue to test record highs - whether it’s equities, property or even these new fangled digital assets that very few people seem to understand - many think there are very few modestly priced opportunities out there. This week we will be talking about a corner of the market that, ironically, hasn’t received any attention. Here we are referring to the media sector and will be looking at three small caps, two of them NZ based, that few would be looking at.
This week we look at two more unloved securities, CIMIC (CIM. ASX) and Service Stream (SSM.ASX). Both of them have been perhaps less than pleasant experiences for long-standing shareholders. With that in mind, is it potentially a good time to buy? After all, both of them sit in a strong thematic (i.e. infrastructure and commodities).
