Computershare

Computershare FY20 earnings are in-line with guidance, down 20% on the same time last year.

What’s now concerning is FY21 guidance has been downgraded and management is now forecasting a further 10% decline next year.

We remain negative on the CPU outlook and retain our “short” exposure.

Seek – Sell Signal

Seek is under Algo Engine sell conditions and we remain on the short-side of the trade.

Two negatives we focus on:-

1}Surprise need to raise money in the bond market; and

2} Announcing they were dumping the final dividend in a bid to preserve capital, blaming the “uncertain environment” for the decision.

The above post was from Monday. Following today’s earnings release, Seek is down 13%. Seek has been a high conviction “short” trade expressed on our blog and in our Monday night webinar.

We suggest covering the short and taking profit.
