Market overview
After a strong run in recent months, the markets drifted lower in November with the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index (‘Index’) ending the month down 1.4%. The Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’) season was mixed with a number of companies providing profit downgrades indicating business conditions are not materially improving. Globally, equity markets hit or approached record highs stimulated by the continued supply of ‘easy money’ coupled with low interest rates.
In Australia and overseas, the Initial Public Offering (‘IPO’) market remained very strong throughout November with the highly successful float of Twitter in the United States and Freelancer (FLN) domestically. Into 2014, we expect the surge in company floats will be followed by an increase in Merger and Acquisition (‘M&A’) activity.
The Index is now up 18.6% for the calendar year to date and up 13.5% for the financial year to date. Following exceptionally strong performance recently, our medium term outlook for the Australian equities market is subdued. Price to earnings ratios have expanded in anticipation of profit growth although there have been few signs of an improvement in earnings despite a significant amount of new equity being issued.
