Cimic Contract Awards Pick Up, but Too Much Blue Sky Factored into the Shares

We make no change to our AUD 25 fair value estimate for Cimic, and shares are currently materially overvalued. Recently, the share price has been buoyed by the award of a AUD 1.9 billion seven-year contract extension for recent Cimic acquisition, UGL Limited, to operate and maintain Melbourneâ€™s suburban train network.

2020 Asset Allocation and ASX Outlook

We expect the Australian equity market to deliver low-mid single digit returns next year. Our Dynamic Asset Allocation preference is a mild overweight to Growth assets, given the relative attractiveness of equities to both bonds and credit. In Fixed Income we prefer Global markets over Australia even though the RBA has probably more work to do. In the ASX, the Risk: Reward skew is tilted more positive for Resources than Banks, particularly in H1 as the global economy shows signs of recovery. Maintaining and slowly building a defensive portfolio will be important for performance next yea...

Astra Posts Solid 2Q, Driven by Strong Cancer Drug Sales and Moving Away From One-Time Divestments

We don't expect any major changes to our AstraZeneca fair value estimate following second-quarter results that largely fell in line with our expectations and slightly ahead of consensus expectations. Overall, the company is posting leading Big Pharma sales growth with total sales up 18% operationally year over year, led by impressive cancer drug sales growth of 57%. Astra's ability to continue to bring next generation drugs to the market that address unmet medical need (especially in oncology) s...
