Market commentary
Global infrastructure stocks continued their ascent in August, gaining +2.8% to post their sixth consecutive month of gains. As enthusiasm for the reopening trade waned, several of the more defensive infrastructure subsectors (such as electric and water utilities) outperformed the broader asset class. That said, the more economically sensitive airport subsector rallied. While the subector’s fundamentals remained unchanged, sentiment pivoted as investors recognised the more attractive valuations of select companies, notably Sydney Airport. The listed airport appears set to be acquired at a generous premium having received a third and higher bid from a consortium of institutional investors this week.
Argo Infrastructure’s share price increased a remarkable +8.6% over the month to outperform both international and local shares which returned +3.1% and +2.5% respectively.
