NEC Details

  • Cost control and other opportunities: Nine Entertainment Co Holdings Ltd (ASX: NEC) stock rose over 3.3% on July 12, 2016. NEC stock is gaining support at the lower levels from the group’s buyback’s initiatives. On the other side, NEC stock has fallen 37.83% (as on July 11, 2016) in the last six months due to challenging conditions in the FTA markets. But, NEC has been diversifying its investments to decrease its dependence on FTA market and positioning in the upcoming growth opportunities. NEC is also leveraging video on demand opportunity via its Australian AVOD (9Now) and SVOD (Stan joint venture) businesses. The group is focusing to control costs for FY16 to offset the ongoing FTA market pressure. Moreover, the company has a strong dividend yield.

HGG Details

  • Rise in voting rights from Perpetual: Henderson Group PLC (ASX: HGG) stock rose 2.8% on July 12, 2016 with Perpetual Limited attaining 8.8% of voting rights from 7.72% while Credit Suisse favors HGG over BT Investment given strong valuation support with the shares at 13 times earnings at the back of expectation of a minimal impact from Brexit. On the other hand, HGG stock has already fallen 22.4% (as on July 11, 2016) in the last four weeks, due to investor’s fears over the group’s performance on the back of Brexit.
  • Recommendation: We believe that the stock is exposed to ongoing volatility and appear to be “Expensive” at the current price of $3.73
