FY20 guidance is bleak, given the housing construction downturn has as yet no end in sight and increased infrastructure construction is not sufficient to offset. The suspension of the dividend also came as no shock, but an intent to acquire and build out an integrated, infrastructure-oriented business model carries risk and reduces dividend prospects near-term. APT - AFTERPAY TOUCH BEAT 0 0 2/0/0 30.43 33.43 2 Afterpay Touch's FY19 net loss was slightly less than Morgans expected. The results suggest continuing strong sales momentum and stable margins across the business. Morgans downgrades FY20-21 earnings estimates, factoring in higher investment expenditure associated with offshore expansion. Traction in the US is strong but the key for Ord Minnett in the FY19 result were the initial customer acquisitions in the UK, which were well above expectations. Average merchant fees were slightly ahead of expectations, particularly in the US. AOG - AVEO IN LINE 0 1 0/2/0 2.15 2.15 2 Aveo Group's FY19 net profit was in line with recently downgraded guidance.

  • Unemployment Insurance and Takeovers*
    Unemployment Insurance and Takeovers* Lixiong Guo† University of Alabama Jing Kong‡ Michigan State University Ronald W. Masulis§ University of New South Wales December 11, 2019 Abstract We examine whether unemployment insurance (UI) mitigates shareholder-employee conflicts of interest and improves takeover market efficiency. Exploiting within state changes in UI benefits, we find that increased target state UI benefits raise acquisition likelihoods, expected deal synergies, and gains to both acquirer and target shareholders. UI effects on acquisition likelihood are stronger in highly unionized industries, in firms with concentrated employee ownership, and in firms with employee friendly boards. The passage of directors’ duties laws increases the UI effect on acquisition likelihood. Lastly, increased acquirer state UI benefits raise acquirer returns and likelihood of acquirers making within-industry acquisitions.

  • Welcome 2009
    WELCOME 2009 The Australian Racing Board is pleased to publish the Eleventh Edition of The Australian Racing Fact Book, our annual reference guide to the Australian thoroughbred racing industry. The Board’s objective in publishing the Fact Book is to draw together under one cover the key results and statistics for the Australian thoroughbred sector for each season. While a number of books and journals report in detail particular aspects of Australian racing and breeding, we can well and truly say that the Australian Racing Board’s 1999 vision has been achieved, and the Fact Book has established itself as a useful and reliable source of the broadest range of information relating to Australian thoroughbred racing and breeding. The facts and figures contained in the Fact Book, will speak for themselves. To breathe some life into this statistical record it is useful to briefly touch on some of the stand-out achievements that have occurred during the period under review. Bart Cummings increased his Melbourne Cup tally to 12 in 2008 with Viewed winning the great race and looked destined to further increase his holdings to 13 this year after taking all before him in the spring with Viewed winning the Caulfield Cup, and So You Think winning the Cox Plate. Faint Perfume would also go on to win the VRC Oaks, however it was the Mark Kavanagh trained Shocking who spoilt the party by taking out the 2009 Melbourne Cup. Shocking’s victory in the Melbourne Cup magnified the highs and lows of racing, with Mark Kavanagh previously tasting defeat in the Cox Plate after saddling up the well fancied Whobegotyou, then having to scratch the favorite for the VRC Derby, Shamoline Warrior on the morning of the race.
