National Australia Bank (NAB) reported a 2% decline in quarterly cash earnings to $1.74 billion, impacted by lower net interest margins and increased competition, alongside rising credit impairment charges of $267 million. Meanwhile, Goodman Group raised $4 billion to expand in logistics and data centers, achieving an 8% rise in operating profit to $1.2 billion. Mineral Resources has halted dividend payments to focus on the Oslo iron project and debt reduction, with revenue down 9% to $2.3 billion due to falling commodity prices.
In the latest episode of Sandstone Insights, investment strategist John Lockton highlights CSL and Temple & Webster as promising buy opportunities, particularly noting Temple & Webster's potential in the online home furnishings market following strong Black Friday sales. Additionally, a switch from Woolworths to Goodman Group is recommended due to Woolworths' 20% decline and margin pressures, while Goodman Group shows strong momentum with its data centre pipeline, aligning better with market gains ahead.
Citigroup Inc. secured the largest block trade in Australia in seven years by outbidding rivals for a stake in Goodman Group, offering a discount of 1.4% to 1.5% below the closing price. However, the deal fell apart, leaving the bank with unsold stock, resulting in a loss of $17 million. Other banks had proposed larger discounts of 3.5% to 4%.
Citigroup Inc. is facing potential losses of up to A$41 million ($26 million) after struggling to sell a block of shares in Australia’s Goodman Group, which it underwrote for China’s sovereign wealth fund.

Following Donald Trump's election victory, US stocks surged, with the S&P 500 closing above 6000 points and banking stocks seeing significant gains. Trump's protectionist policies are expected to benefit small businesses and the cryptocurrency sector, with bitcoin reaching over $87,000. However, concerns over renewed US-China trade tensions arise as Trump threatens tariffs, prompting mixed expert opinions on the potential for a trade war.
The ASX 200 is down 17 points (-0.22%) at 8181 as traders assess the implications of the US election on the Australian economy. Concerns over potential US-China trade tensions have emerged, though Chinese fiscal stimulus may mitigate impacts. Big miners and energy stocks saw gains, while real estate and gold mining sectors faced declines due to rising global yields and a stronger US dollar. Sigma Healthcare's shares surged 23.4% following merger approval.
Goodman Group is strategically investing in data centres, capitalising on the growing demand for secure storage solutions in the digital economy. While the company has garnered investor interest, caution is advised due to its high price-to-earnings ratio amid modest earnings growth. Despite this, Goodman's strong performance history positions it as a valuable long-term investment in the expanding data centre sector.
