ASX stocks catching my eye Feb 8, 2024

AFTER THE OPEN

  • As at 10:55am, here’s how the stocks that had significant announcements this morning or after the close yesterday are performing.

Stocks with significant announcements watchlist for today

  • The ASX:REA result looked strong but their outlook looked weak / conservative.
  • ASX:PTM and ASX:AQZ both reported after the close yesterday. This is usually not a great sign and clearly today the market is confirming that. Silly.
  • Yesterday, Cettire (ASX:CTT) had a great day and is continuing to rise today. It is in the model portfolio. I will have a closer look at them for members today.

 

BEFORE THE MARKET OPEN

 

Telix Pharmaceuticals (ASX:TLX)

  • Telix Pharmaceuticals (ASX:TLX) announces a new acquisition. Late stage radiopharmaceutical for primary and metastatic bone cancer. Complimentary to say the least. If you don’t know why I say that, do some reading on Telix Pharmaceuticals (ASX:TLX)  – it’s well worth it – for humanity let alone as a potential investment.

  • It’s been a while since the gold price did anything of note.

Recent Gold price chart

  • Strong night in the US and some good results after the close for ARM and Disney. Yet our futures have had a muted response up just 3 points. Looking at commodities copper and iron ore dropped so I suspect that is the reason. Hopefully the positivity from the US will flow through to other parts of our market today.

Playside (ASX:PLY)

  • Good news and bad news for Playside (ASX:PLY). Good news for them as they no longer need to lodge quarterly reports which means business is good (cash-flow positive for 4 quarters in a row) but bad for me as I really like the more regularity of quarterly cash-flow reports.

Cochlear (ASX:COH)

  • Profit upgrade for Cochlear (ASX:COH). My favourite kind of announcement.

Cochlear (ASX:COH) earnings guidance

  • They have been going good though so you would think the market was to some degree already expecting good things. Nevertheless, it should be a good day for shareholders.
