Key themes and takeaways:

  • Uneventful week for highs: It's been a relatively subdued week for stocks hitting fresh 52-week highs. We continue to see some strength from early cycle sectors such as Discretionary and Building Materials that benefit from slowing inflation and the ongoing RBA pause.

  • Post earnings winners: Several reporting season winners are refusing to give back their gains despite rallying +10% post earnings.

Key themes and takeaways

  • Healthcare slide: Healthcare names from various sub-sectors are hitting 52-week lows. Is this a cause for concern to see such sector wide weakness. The names hitting lows include:

    • ResMed (respiratory devices)

    • Polynovo (solution for treatment of complex and traumatic wounds)

    • Ansell (protective industrial equipment and medical gloves)

    • Imugene (clinical stage immuno-oncology)

    • Healius (pathology laboratories, collection centre and diagnostic imaging)
