S&P/ASX Index Rebalance (June 2024): Changes, Flows, Impact, Shorts & Positioning
- There is 1 change for the S&P/ASX20 Index, 1 change for the S&P/ASX50 Index, 2 changes for the S&P/ASX100 Index, and no regular changes for the S&P/ASX200 INDEX in June.
- The surprise inclusion of Wisetech Global (WTC AU) means that positioning is likely to be lower than the passive buying and there could be a move higher in the stock.
- There will be one adhoc inclusion to the S&P/ASX 200 (AS51 INDEX) at the close on 19 June following Cie De Saint-Gobain (SGO FP)’s acquisition of CSR Ltd (CSR AU).

Champion Iron (CIA AU): Q4 Results Update and Future Outlook
- Champion Iron (CIA AU) reported an inline result for FY24, with revenue/profits up 9%/16% YoY. Q4 revenue/profits were -28%YoY/-73%YoY due to lower pricing on 60% of volumes in transit.
- The company-guided production volumes have reached the annualized 15 mnt mark, but logistics continued to be challenging in Q1. Easing is expected in August, and base case a 1.5-year destock.
- The name carries some risks trading at 7x PE FY25 (March end), but it could be one to watch in case the 65-62 spread widens.
