Stock Tips: WTC could be a wise choice this week
Don't miss out on the headlines from Stockhead. Followed categories will be added to My News. It's no easy gig analysing share prices and company performance but somebody's got to do it. Every week two experts from our Share Tips columnist pool give us their recommendations. Andrew Eddy – Morgans Financial BUY WiseTech Global (ASX:WTC) Wisetech is acquiring E2open, expanding its market reach and capabilities, driving revenue and EBITDA growth, and offering a compelling opportunity to further extend the company's growth runway. Aurizon Holdings (ASX:AZJ) Earnings from the Network and Coal segments will continue to deliver higher cash returns to shareholders and investment into Bulk and Containerised Freight will provide longer term growth. HOLD Lovisa Holdings (ASX:LOV) Lovisa's recent milestone of opening its 1,000th store globally signifies its strong growth and global presence. It continues to have ambitious expansion plans. Regis Resources (ASX:RRL) Regis is well positioned to maintain significant share price torque to the price of gold, aided by a robust production profile and underappreciated organic growth at Duketon. SELL Telstra (ASX:TLS) Although having some defensive qualities, Telstra continues to trade above its long-term average multiple, which is hard to justify considering its minimal long-term growth and competition risk. Adriatic Metals (ASX:ADT) Adriatic's share price has bounced recently on takeover talk. While high-grade metal assets with compelling economics are rare, everything has a price. Dylan Evans – Catapult Wealth BUY Goodman Group (ASX:GMG) Goodman Group's portfolio of quality industrial properties and data centres should be well supported by long-term demand trends in online retail and data hosting. Steadfast (ASX:SDF) As the largest general insurance broker in Australia, Steadfast offer exposure to growth in insurance premiums, but without the underwriting risk of the insurers. HOLD Auckland International Airport (ASX:AIA) As New Zealand's primary overseas travel gateway, Auckland Airport is a key piece of infrastructure. Overseas travel still lags pre-covid levels, but is showing signs of recovery. Woolworths (ASX:WOW) Woolworths has been losing market share to its competitors over the last few years and is now going through another restructure to regain this lost share. We expect regaining this momentum will take several years. SELL A2 Milk (ASX:A2M) The Chinese infant formula market is a key part of A2 milk's product sales. Despite reporting growth in its 1H25 results, this market faces long-term challenges, including declining birth rates. BWP Trust (BWP) A solid property trust on most metrics, with modest debt, high occupancy, and a decent 5.2% yield. Concern is always with the potential influence and reliance on Wesfarmers, who have an ownership stake and contribute 85% of the rental income via Bunnings.

Woman, accused argued before fatal fire, say neighbours
Neighbours of a woman allegedly murdered by her British house guest recall him telling them of an argument between the pair on the night of her death. Timothy Loosemore is facing trial after pleading not guilty to the murder of Maree Vermont at her rural home at Goldie in Victoria's Macedon Ranges on August 5, 2023. Neighbour Kyman Share, who lived about 500 metres from Ms Vermont, on Thursday recalled talking to a British man covered in soot while the home was on fire. "They had a small argument. He went outside to get firewood and when he came back, the place was on fire," Mr Share told the jury, recounting his conversation with Loosemore. Earlier that night, Mr Share had just finished watching television with his partner about 10pm when they heard a loud popping and crackling sound. "It was extremely loud like an explosion," he told the jury. From his verandah he saw an orange glow in the vicinity of Ms Vermont's home and raced there to see what was happening, the jury was told. Mr Share said he had to turn back to call emergency authorities because of poor phone reception in the area. He said he then raced back to Ms Vermont's home, running into another neighbour Peter Greenham, who had been alerted to the fire by Loosemore. Mr Greenham said he and his wife had been jolted awake by a frantic Loosemore banging on their door asking them to call police and the fire brigade because the house was on fire. Mr Greenham noticed Loosemore was quite blackened by soot and had scratches or marks on his face and blood on his arms or hands. The pair drove to the burning house and Mr Greenham asked the accused what had happened to Ms Vermont. "He said 'we had an argument, it wasn't a big argument, but we had one'," Mr Greenham said. They met Mr Share at the home, which was engulfed in flames. Both men ran around the home several times yelling Ms Vermont's name but were unable to get close because of the ferocity of the fire. Mr Greenham recalled seeing a "very subdued" Loosemore, while Mr Share sat with the British house guest who was "in shock" and repeatedly murmuring he couldn't understand what had happened. The men carried Loosemore to paramedics, noticing dry blood on his cheek and underneath his arms. Ms Vermont's body was found inside her burnt-out home and Loosemore, a British traveller planning to bike around Australia, is accused of killing her and setting fire to the house, or assaulting her and trying to conceal the assault by setting the house alight. Loosemore had been staying at the home for free in exchange for doing work around the property.
