Higher levels of equities and futures trading, along with growing demand for its data services, have lifted ASX Limited’s earnings and revenue over the half year. Net profit 2H19 to December was up 1.8% to $250mn on revenue of $454mn, which was up 7%, EBIT rose 6% to $315.
We expect growth to remain in the 1 – 4% range and we see the stock as a “high conviction” buy on the dip during the current market sell-off.
ASX is building support at $78.50 and is now trading higher coming into the February earnings result.
The market is forecasting 5% EPS growth and an ongoing yield of 3%.

ASX is among the best performing stocks within our ASX 100 model portfolio. The stock remains under current buy conditions and the earnings have been slightly upgraded, following the release of the March quarter trading data.
The upgrades were driven by stronger than expected ASX 24 derivatives activity. Volumes increased 11% on the same time last year, with a record month in March 2019.
Cash equities turnover was up 9% year-over-year.
At 26x earnings and 3.2% yield, the stock looks expensive but it does offer a relatively safe harbour.
Last week we suggested a buy level for ASX Ltd near $58.00.
With yesterday’s low intraday print at $57.80, that downside buy target has been reached.
Also, with the share price sliding over 15% lower during the last month, internal momentum indicators are now oversold and a reversion higher looks likely.
At $58.00, the stock is on a forward yield of about 4%. We see the first level of resistance near $62.60 and up to $64.00 over the longer-term.

Lendlease, ASX, CSL and Aristocrat are names that we covered in Monday’s Opportunities in Review webinar.
Again, we draw your attention to these high quality businesses that have seen a recent correction in their share price.
We believe these names are close to finding support and should be the focus of establishing entry conditions. Watch the short-term momentum indicators for a reversal higher.
