Time to Move On Shares of listed real estate agent McGrath  (ASX:MEA) have continued to drift down since our last review despite, some favourable developments on the company specific side. We believe the gloomy investor sentiment is being driven by broader sector developments. With many challenges remaining for bricks and mortar agents within the real estate segment we believe it is time to move on, with more compelling opportunities to deploy funds elsewhere. McGrath (ASX:MEA) has had a tumultuous few years since listing
Amcor (ASX:AMC)

A cheaper package Shares of packaging giant Amcor (ASX:AMC) have endured a relatively rare period of underperformance over the past year, as the company faced headwinds from higher input costs that curtailed earnings in fiscal 2018 and rising bond yields. The company’s major acquisition of US peer Bemis has also added some risk. We believe the decline in price relative to the market has been overdone though, and that the prospects from current levels are solid. The proposed merger with Bemis will

Taking from the box Leading VoIP provider, MNF Group (ASX:MNF) has announced it will buy the wholesale and enablement business of Inabox Group. The deal would be immediately accretive as it will bolster MNF’s wholesale telecom services to the retail service provider market while also complementing its mobile offerings. We are pleased with this development considering that MNF has, over the years, done a great job in growing its business via acquisitions and the proposed deal looks to be another good

Reading between the lines The media sector has seen heavy selling pressure since last Friday, when Fairfax Media (ASX:FXJ), Nine Entertainment, and Domain Holdings Australia all released trading updates, with these coming ahead of the formal commencement of the merger process between Fairfax and Nine. The statements were all very brief, but signs of further softness in the advertising market were not treated lightly by investors.  All three stocks were down around 13% on the day. The reaction (and further weakness

Looking to build wealth Investment Platform specialist, Netwealth (ASX:NWL), has entered our radar as of late following the release of the company’s September 2018 trading update showing that it has gained additional momentum. It’s also worth noting that the shares have dropped some 21.9% since its 52-week high of $9.99 last 05 June. Perhaps it’s time to make an entry? Last week, Netwealth (ASX:NWL) filed a Trading Update on its Quarterly performance and we see some strong momentum marking a solid start

Take up rights Agribusiness Nufarm (ASX:NUF) recently revealed full year results, with the company reporting a statutory net loss after tax of $15.6 million, versus a $114 million profit a year earlier. Total revenues actually rose 6.3% to $3.3 billion, although the extended drought in Australia took its toll. Nufarm has also announced that it is proceeding with a $303 million capital raising to bolster the balance sheet. It has been a tough year for Nufarm, and this is clearly evident in the latest

Tanami land grab Newcrest Mining (ASX:NCM) has been busy in the past twelve-months in tying up project and land deals with junior gold explorers. This rise in activity follows an extended period when the company was addressing operational issues across its own portfolio of mines. A land grab in the Tanami region of Australia is a joint venture (JV) that certainly is a standout. Exploration tenements have now been granted over the Tanami ground.
