Contributors
• Carsales.com (CAR): delivered a solid FY23 result and FY24 guidance update. The Australian business delivered against expectations, whilst the Trader Interactive business in the US beat expectations, demonstrating both solid execution and confirmation of potential upside risks (including new customers, new products, pricing power and margin expansion).
• Domino’s Pizza Enterprises (DMP): outperformed following its FY23 result which missed expectations but provided trading updates with positive momentum in key Australian, NZ and European markets. Asian markets remain challengeing but group restructuring, and declining cost of goods sold (COGS) headwinds provides a more constructive outlook.
• James Hardie Industries (JHX): outperformed following 1Q24 earnings, with sales, margins and guidance all beating expectations, driven by stronger volumes and lower freight costs.
Detractors
• IRESS (IRE): underperformed following FY23 results that saw large downgrades to forward earnings expectations. As the group continues to reset the business and sell off non-core assets, we observe years of underinvestment and poor capital allocation needing to be resolved.
• Ramsay Health Care (RHC): was softer after highlighting the impact of higher interest costs flowing into FY24 which saw material downgrades to previous expectations.
• Wesfarmers (WES, underweight): outperformed with the group’s FY23 earnings exceeding expectations and showing resilient earnings in a tougher retail background with Bunnings and Kmart continuing to drive consumers into store through value and range.
DNR Capital Australian Equities High Conviction Fund increased 3.73% (net of fees) in July, outperforming the S&P/ASX 200 Total Return Index by 0.85%. Over the last 12 months, the Fund increased by 11.06%, underperforming the Index by -0.61% (net of fees).
Contributors
• SEEK (SEK): with softer-than-expected inflation prints in the USA and Australia, investors are more hopeful of a soft landing and this supported the outperformance of cyclicals.
• Woodside Energy Group (WDS): outperformed during the period as global energy prices rose and the company reported a strong quarter of production, beating estimates. Energy prices have recovered from recent lows as recent OPEC+ cuts begin to bite and Russian over-production slows from historic levels.
• Lendlease (LLC): outperformed on no stock specific news. Management continues to make incremental progress towards its stated 2024 return targets with a sharpened focus on executing the existing development backlog of over $100bn.
Detractors
• Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA, no holding): banks bounced in July as the outlook for bad debts improved and some signs of easing competition.
• CSL (CSL): underperformed during the month as the market continued to digest weaker than expected earnings guidance for growth in FY24. The stock was also softer following the release of trial results for a competitor’s treatment of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CDIP) which could impact demand for CSL’s immunoglobulin (IG) portfolio.
• ANZ Group Holdings (ANZ, no holding): banks bounced in July as the outlook for bad debts improved and some signs of easing competition.

Contributors
• QBE Insurance Group (QBE): outperformed this month as general insurance margin outlooks should benefit from higher investment yields.
• Xero (XRO): outperformed in June following its strong full year results reported in the previous month, with growing expectations for improved margins through prudent cost control and price increases.
• Rio Tinto (RIO): bounced over the month as spot iron ore prices held up in the face of soft Chinese economic data. Chinese policy makers continue to incrementally ease policy, which should support commodity demand.
Detractors
• CSL (CSL): provided first-time earnings guidance for growth in FY24, which was below expectations primarily driven by a lower margin expectation. The company reiterated that Behring margins are tracking positively and should return to pre-COVID19 levels in the “medium term”, while collection volumes continue to track well.
• SEEK (SEK): underperformed given the uncertainty over the near-term volume outlook following heightened economic risk and interest rate rises. However, recent prices in the high single digits give confidence that this will help offset the volume decline into FY24.
