Market commentary

Global infrastructure stocks were again out of favour with investors in August, declining -1.6% (in A$ terms) to lag broader global and domestic equities. Against a backdrop of rising interest rates and generally negative economic data, all infrastructure subsectors declined for the month.

Electric and water utilities were the worst performing subsectors – both fell -6.0%. Meanwhile, Midstream Energy stocks were relative outperformers (-0.2%) with their share prices proving more resilient due to their generally solid earnings, improved business models and strong balance sheets.

On 28 August, Argo Infrastructure reported full year profit of $9.6 million and a fully franked final dividend of 4.5 cents per share to bring full year dividends to 8.5 cents per share – a record high for the Company.
