What Does the Data Tell Us?
Asset managers and investment platforms trend higher: Pinnacle Investment Management, Hub24, and Netwealth have more than doubled in value over the past year. This surge is driven by bullish equity markets and an ongoing structural shift in Australia's wealth management platform landscape. Last week, Hub24 reported 1Q25 net inflows of $4 billion, up 44% year-on-year and beat Macquarie estimates by 25% ($3.2bn). "Fundamental valuation metrics remain stretched. However, the outlook for flows remains encouraging with improved operating leverage in FY25. This will continue to support the elevated multiple, with limited near-term catalysts for de-rating," the analyst said in a note dated 15 October.
Gold's time to shine: Gold mining stocks lagged behind the precious metal's performance from late September to October, likely due to rising bond yields, weather risks and market volatility. However, the past two weeks have seen a robust rally, with numerous gold miners reaching new 52-week highs.
Travel stocks soften: Flight Centre and Web Travel Group shares plummeted last week following disappointing trading updates. Web Travel Group slashed its 2025 revenue margin guidance to 6.5%, citing persistent weakness in European markets. This comes just six weeks after a previous downgrade to 7.0-7.5% from 7.5%. Macquarie analysts noted, "It is difficult to determine the revenue margin floor." Meanwhile, Flight Centre lowered its near-term growth outlook, pointing to airfare deflation and major clients opting for cheaper options. In response, Macquarie cut its FY25 total transaction value (TTV) forecast for Flight Centre to 3.5% from 5.6%. Despite maintaining an Outperform rating, Macquarie reduced its target price for Flight Centre by 7% to $23.34.
