Australian Investment Strategy - September

Artcore

Reporting season was characterised by the lack of earnings guidance and company outlook statements provided to the market. What was especially surprising is the market's reaction to these results, as 22% of stocks by market cap surprised to the upside, forward earnings were downgraded by just 3.90% and the market is still expecting 13.68% EPS growth in FY09. Sector Focus: Consumer Discretionary: Following a top down analysis of the sector, we (CS) are recommending an overweight stance in selected Consumer Discretionary Stocks, given this combination of a less severe cyclical slowdown, the high appeal of the sector as a candidate for further consolidation and the current valuations of these stocks within the sector. Flight to quality: ROE, large size and earnings certainty described the stocks investors were after this month, consistent with Credit Suisse risk appetite falling to almost panic territory. Quality stocks such as Large Miners COH, CSL, CCL and selected high yield LPT have outperformed MMX, FMG, BCM, BBI, ABS and BBP by a large margin. Given the growth outlook, risk appetite may fall further continuing the current trend.

看来明年业绩预期不错，现在是个逢低买入的好机会，呵呵

这两天澳洲股市就难得地出现了独立于欧美股市的上涨行情

像MMX和FMG这些股， 前两年让不少人发得流油， 现在被抛起来人人都去踩～
