Lunch Wrap: ASX on fire at record 8900, energy stocks soar ahead of Trump-Putin talks
ASX hits record 8,900 points and keeps going Energy stocks on fire on the eve of Trump-Putin talks ANZ cashes in, and Baby Bunting surges The ASX 200 was up 0.42% by the middle of the day in the east, hitting fresh record highs above 8,900 points. Over on Wall Street last night, the mood had cooled a touch. US producer prices (PPI) came in hotter than expected, which took some fizz out of the 'rates are definitely coming down' party. Bitcoin, meanwhile, took a 4% haircut after Thursday's record surge past US$124,000. The hotter PPI data cooled hopes of aggressive Fed cuts, sending crypto punters back to their seats. Back home, the utilities sector was leading the pack as Origin Energy (ASX:ORG) lit up once again. Its share price has jumped another 2% after unveiling a strong FY26 outlook yesterday. The energy sector was also leaping ahead, helped along by rising oil prices (+2%) after Trump warned Putin of 'severe consequences' if today's talks in Alaska flop. Meanwhile in earnings season news, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ASX:ANZ) gave the market something to chew on after booking a $19 billion bounce in customer deposits for the June quarter, mostly from institutional clients. Loans were up $16 billion, too, proving there's still plenty of activity in the engine room. ANZ shares were up 1%. Cochlear (ASX:COH) dropped its full-year numbers and tried to play the 'steady as she goes' tune, but the market wasn't exactly dancing. Net profit came in at $392 million, technically up 1%, but still shy of the $400 million consensus. Cochlear's shares were down 0.85%. Still in large caps, property developer Mirvac (ASX:MGR) slipped 1% despite swinging back into profit with $68 million in net earnings, as revenue fell 10% for the year. Packaging giant Amcor (ASX:AMC) plunged a brutal 10%, even with sales surging 43% thanks to its Berry Global acquisition. And finally, fundie WAM Capital (ASX:WAM) found itself in the slightly awkward position of underperforming its benchmark, but still bumping its dividend to 9.4 cents. Investors always like a good dividend story, even if the short-term scoreboard doesn't sparkle. WAM's shares were up 0.5%.

The application, through its 84.5%-owned arm Kauraru Gold, covers 445 hectares and targets gold, copper and silver. Managing director Andrew Buxton said the move comes as strong partner interest builds, with the lease marking the culmination of a decade of work now locked in as MLA 100454 – Horn Island. Baby Bunting (ASX:BBN) closed FY25 with pro forma NPAT of $12.1m, up 228% and at the top of guidance, on record sales of $521.9m. Gross margin jumped to 40.2%, while its 'Store of the Future' refurbs lifted sales 28%. Net debt fell to $4.6m, and FY26 profit is tipped to rise further to $17–20m as more refurbs and new stores roll out. Great Western Exploration (ASX:GTE) has zeroed in on what looks like the potential core of a large VHMS copper-gold system at its Oval Targets, right near Sandfire's old DeGrussa deposit. A close-spaced gravity survey lit up a strong anomaly that lines up perfectly with the most prospective horizon defined by earlier drilling, exactly where you'd expect a 'black smoker' copper-gold system to sit. With $2.7 million cash in the tank, the company says it's well set to push ahead.

‘Unimaginable': Heartbreak as Melbourne dad, 36, dies suddenly
The soon-to-be wife of a young Melbourne father living with a health condition they 'didn't even think about' has been left shattered after it 'took him suddenly' last week. Ashlee Tyrrell, 32, had recently returned to work after spending almost a decade at home while welcoming three kids with her fiance of 13-years, Shaun Skinner, 36. But just days into her new job at Baby Bunting, Ashlee received a call that turned her life upside down: It was Shaun, telling her his pacemaker had 'gone off'. The 36-year-old had been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy (HCM), a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the vital organ to pump blood effectively, at age 17 after collapsing while playing basketball. But after having a pacemaker fitted, and following a 'heart smart' lifestyle that included avoiding alcohol and strenuous exercise, Ashlee said he'd 'never had any issues'. 'We just thought, maybe he'd overdone it, it wasn't something that made us go, 'oh, this is bad,' Ashlee told 'The medical device, which helps regulate the heart's rhythm by sending electrical impulses to the heart muscle, had only ever gone off once since Shaun had it fitted as a teenager and that was because he had over exerted himself. 'So we didn't panic, but I told him to sit tight, and that I would come straight home.' But just 10 minutes into the half-hour drive home, Ashlee got another call, this time from ambos en-route to the couple's home. 'That morning, our youngest two were sick, and because I had a new job, it was still quite fresh, Shaun offered to stay home and look after them so I could go in,' she explained. 'Ambulance Victoria called and said Shaun had phoned them. They said he was 'terrified' because he was home alone with our 3-year-old, Everly, and our 7-year-old, Violet, and he knew he needed someone with the kids.' Tragically, by the time Ashlee made it home, Shaun's condition had only worsened. 'When I got to the house, there was a fire engine, more than one ambulance and a police car, I knew,' she said. 'I got out of the car and saw a paramedic, and I asked, 'Is he OK?' 'She told me he was very sick and it was not what I expected. I thought I would get to see him, I though I'd get there, and he would be sitting on the couch, like, 'I'm alright'.' Paramedics worked tirelessly to revive Shaun, but after 45-minutes, he was pronounced dead after suffering an unexpected heart attack, something Ashlee said 'still doesn't feel real'. 'We were getting married next year,' she explained through tears. 'It was something we kept putting off because of the kids, but it was finally happening. 'But after they said, 'I'm sorry, there's nothing more we can do', my whole life crashed in a matter of seconds.' In Australia, a person with HCM will generally have a typical life expectancy, especially if they follow a heart-healthy lifestyle. However, a small number of people are at risk for major complications, including sudden death and heart failure. Ashlee and their three daughters – including 9-year-old Sophie who was brought home from school early – all said goodbye to Shaun at home before his body was taken by the coroner. The results of an autopsy will be released in 16 weeks. One of the most heartbreaking details from the ordeal, which occurred on August 4, was learning that when paramedics arrived on the scene, little Everly was lying on top of her daddy, giving him cuddles. 'I love him so much, I know he was holding on for the paramedics to arrive, just to make sure our girls were being looked after,' Ashlee said. 'He didn't pass out until someone was there for them. The last thing he said to Violet was, 'it's OK, Daddy loves you'. Those were his last words.' Ashlee's best friend Jasmine Marshall has since launched a GoFundMe page to help the grief-stricken family as they face the 'unimaginable tragic loss' of life without Shaun. 'Until a couple of weeks before his death, Shaun was the main provider for our family,' Ashlee said. The pair met when she was just 18, when Ashlee got a job on the reception desk at the office where for a door, wardrobe and splashback manufacturer where Shaun worked. They got engaged a year later 'He had been in his job for 15 years. He loved it. He was such a great dad and partner.' The heartbroken mum is now focusing on helping their daughters navigate this difficult time, but said she can't help but question whether there was more they could have done. 'It was out of nowhere, you can't help but think 'maybe I should have known it was coming', but there was no way to know,' she said. 'But he'd never had any problems, his heart condition was almost mundane, we didn't even think about it because there was never any issues. 'I'm not silly, I knew he wasn't going to live to be 100, but I didn't think I would lose him young. He took his medication every day, we had no inkling, lots of people have this condition and live long, healthy lives, his grandfather had it and lived to be an old man. 'We had no idea it would be something that would take him away from us.' Despite losing Shaun so suddenly, Ashlee wanted to thank the emergency services who were here for her during the 'worst moment of my life'. 'Everyone that was there that day, the paramedics, the police, were the most gentle, kindest people. They tried so hard to save him. They made sure we were protected from that things we weren't supposed to see and I am so grateful they saved my little girls from that.'

Baby Bunting Group Limited's (ASX:BBN) Stock Is Rallying But Financials Look Ambiguous: Will The Momentum Continue?
Most readers would already be aware that Baby Bunting Group's (ASX:BBN) stock increased significantly by 6.9% over the past month. However, we wonder if the company's inconsistent financials would have any adverse impact on the current share price momentum. Particularly, we will be paying attention to Baby Bunting Group's ROE today. Return on equity or ROE is an important factor to be considered by a shareholder because it tells them how effectively their capital is being reinvested. Simply put, it is used to assess the profitability of a company in relation to its equity capital. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. The formula for ROE is: Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Baby Bunting Group is: 5.9% = AU$6.2m ÷ AU$106m (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2024). The 'return' is the amount earned after tax over the last twelve months. One way to conceptualize this is that for each A$1 of shareholders' capital it has, the company made A$0.06 in profit. View our latest analysis for Baby Bunting Group We have already established that ROE serves as an efficient profit-generating gauge for a company's future earnings. Depending on how much of these profits the company reinvests or "retains", and how effectively it does so, we are then able to assess a company's earnings growth potential. Generally speaking, other things being equal, firms with a high return on equity and profit retention, have a higher growth rate than firms that don't share these attributes. On the face of it, Baby Bunting Group's ROE is not much to talk about. A quick further study shows that the company's ROE doesn't compare favorably to the industry average of 15% either. Therefore, it might not be wrong to say that the five year net income decline of 8.6% seen by Baby Bunting Group was probably the result of it having a lower ROE. We reckon that there could also be other factors at play here. Such as - low earnings retention or poor allocation of capital. So, as a next step, we compared Baby Bunting Group's performance against the industry and were disappointed to discover that while the company has been shrinking its earnings, the industry has been growing its earnings at a rate of 7.2% over the last few years. Earnings growth is an important metric to consider when valuing a stock. It's important for an investor to know whether the market has priced in the company's expected earnings growth (or decline). Doing so will help them establish if the stock's future looks promising or ominous. Is Baby Bunting Group fairly valued compared to other companies? These 3 valuation measures might help you decide. While the company did payout a portion of its dividend in the past, it currently doesn't pay a regular dividend. This implies that potentially all of its profits are being reinvested in the business. On the whole, we feel that the performance shown by Baby Bunting Group can be open to many interpretations. While the company does have a high rate of reinvestment, the low ROE means that all that reinvestment is not reaping any benefit to its investors, and moreover, its having a negative impact on the earnings growth. With that said, we studied the latest analyst forecasts and found that while the company has shrunk its earnings in the past, analysts expect its earnings to grow in the future. Are these analysts expectations based on the broad expectations for the industry, or on the company's fundamentals? Click here to be taken to our analyst's forecasts page for the company.
