Our darlings trade on a forward P/E Damien Boey of 38x. The other commodity-focused market, Canada, has the second 61 2 8205 4615 [email protected] most expensive darlings. Darlings in Australia have been more expensive only during the Nasdaq bubble when they touched 45x. ■ Darling derating: Buying Australian darlings at these valuations has been a poor strategy in the past. Also, the current high valuation for Australia's darlings suggest they are especially vulnerable to rising bond yields and the coming end of the Australian profits recession. A rising discount rate and a lower premium for growth suggest investors should focus on stocks that could be future darlings. ■ Hello Daaarling: Future market darlings have shared many similar characteristics over the last 20 years. They are generally well managed, have strong balance sheets and operate on high margins. Our "Hello Daaarling" strategy highlights potential future darlings and they currently trade on just 17x P/E and include Caltex, Eclipx, Mayne Pharma, Nufarm, Star Entertainment and South 32.
