Following October’s budget announcement, the mid-year economic and fiscal outlook (MYEFO) is scheduled to take place this Thursday (17 December 2020).

The outlook will be delivered by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg. During his commentary, Mr Frydenberg will discuss what the economy has done since October, the current state of affairs, and what parliament predicts to be on the horizon.

Considering the way that economies worldwide continue to navigate the global coronavirus pandemic, this year’s MYEFO discussions might be more interesting to listen to than last year’s were.

So what’s been going on?

As the MYEFO approaches, the Australian Financial Review (AFR) reports economists are widely expecting an improvement of $14 billion or more in the budget’s bottom line.

Their speculation is commonly based off of recent gains in the price of iron ore, which significantly exceeded Treasury’s previous estimates. This is a particularly welcomed benefit to receive, considering the current trade war with China.

Following the spike in unemployment experienced earlier this year, positive job data was released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on 15 December. The slight increase in the payroll jobs number supports other recently published, positive economic indicators like an increase in consumer confidence. These combined factors often lead to an economy on the up. Mr Frydenberg’s insights tomorrow should help connect the dots.

Finance or philosophy?

While economic analysis and predictions add colour to underlying business environments, everyone’s takeaways are bound to vary. From a share market perspective, volatility can be expected regardless of government statements or statistics.

That said, if you’re someone interested in big-picture perspectives, you might enjoy hearing about what comes out of the MYEFO tomorrow.

Tuning in to Mr Frydenberg’s comments will shed light on how Australia continues to manage China’s backlash and steer through the pandemic. It will provide updated economic forecasts and share the government’s insight on what recovery looks like moving forward.

If this makes your ears perk up, tune in! If not, rely on your reporter friends to disperse the best bits.

The corporate regulator has slammed airline Regional Express Holdings Ltd (ASX: REX) for “continuous disclosure failures” to shareholders and the ASX.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) on Wednesday slapped a one-year ban on the company from issuing reduced-content prospectuses to raise money on the ASX.

Regional Express must now produce a full prospectus to ask investors for further cash.

The corporate regulator didn’t mince words in explaining the prohibition.

“ASIC’s decision was based on REX’s failure to disclose to the market that it was considering the feasibility of commencing domestic operations, such as flying to capital cities, in addition to its regional operations,” stated the commission.

“This information was first released publicly to a journalist on 11 May 2020.”

What did Rex do exactly?

The incident refers to Rex deputy chair John Sharp’s interview with the Australian Financial Review, where he revealed a new $200 million plan to start flying between Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Up until then, Regional Express had flown between regional and rural destinations and never directly competed with the likes of Qantas Airways Limited (ASX: QAN) and Virgin Australia.

After the publication of that article, Regional Express was forced to place a trading halt on its shares. The next day it made an official announcement to the ASX revealing the $200 million initiative.

The Motley Fool has requested comment from Regional Express.

ASIC stated that the use of a reduced-disclosure prospectus was “a privilege” conditional on legal compliance, including meeting market disclosure responsibilities.

Ironically the reprimand failed to dampen investor enthusiasm for Rex shares. 

The Rex share price was up 9.14% at 2.30pm AEDT on Wednesday, in response to the company’s receipt of a High Capacity Air Operator’s Certificate from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

This means the airline is another step closer to competing in the lucrative capital city routes, which it plans to do from 1 March.

The Codan Limited (ASX: CDA) share price is surging higher after the company announced a robust trading performance for the first 4 months of the 2021 financial year.

At the time of writing, the Codan share price is up 4.9% to $10.05. The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is also having a strong day today, currently up 1.3% at 6,718 points.

Codan designs and manufactures a range of electronic products and software to governments, businesses, aid and humanitarians, and customer markets. The company’s 3 main products are radio communication, metal detection, and tracking solutions.

What’s driving the Codan share price higher?

In today’s release, Codan advised that demand has been strong for its metal detectors, in both recreational and mining markets .

Management noted that an array of internal changes led to the company achieving growth. This included the expansion into new geographical areas, increased distribution into retail channels, and investment in its manufacturing capacity.

Codan said the positive result has offset its tactical communications business which is significantly down this year.

In light of this, the board expects a net profit after tax of $40 million for the first-half of the 2021 financial year.

While it stopped short of making second-half projections, the group believes a stronger period awaits. This comes as the company is gearing up to launch its new packed detector in the third quarter of FY21.

In addition, the company has an order book of more than $30 million in its communications business due in the second half of FY21.

Codan share price summary

The Codan share price has been a solid performer over the past 5 years, reflecting gains of more than 1,300%. Patient shareholders who kept hold for that period would have effectively turned every $1,000 invested into $13,000. Indeed, Codan has comfortably blown away the S&P/ASX 200 Index, which has a 31% return over the same timeframe.

Codan has a market capitalisation of $1.8 billion and a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 28.6.

Many of Australia’s top brokers have been busy adjusting their financial models again, leading to the release of a large number of broker notes this week.

Three broker buy ratings that have caught my eye are summarised below. Here’s why brokers think these ASX shares are in the buy zone:

Altium Limited (ASX: ALU)

According to a note out of Morgan Stanley, its analysts have retained their overweight rating and $40.00 price target on this electronic design software provider’s shares. The broker was pleased to see that Altium recently reaffirmed its FY 2021 guidance despite the tough operating environment. In addition to this, Morgan Stanley notes that management spoke positively about its new Altium 365 platform. This is a big positive as the cloud-based platform is expected to be a key driver of its growth in the future. The Altium share price is trading at $33.92 this afternoon.

BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP)

Analysts at Ord Minnett have retained their buy rating and $50.00 price target on this mining giant’s shares. The broker has lifted its forecasts for a number of commodities notably higher, which it feels bodes well for BHP in 2021. So much so, the broker is forecasting a fully franked ~$2.39 dividend in FY 2021. Based on the current BHP share price of $42.78, this represents a 5.6% dividend yield. Combined with its price target, BHP’s shares offer a potential return in excess of 22% over the next 12 months.

Challenger Ltd (ASX: CGF)

A note out of UBS reveals that its analysts have reinstated coverage on this annuities company’s shares with a buy rating and improved price target of $6.85. Although the Challenger share price has recovered well after being hammered at the height of the pandemic, the broker still sees meaningful upside. It also believes the risks are now to the upside in respect to Challenger’s earnings, especially given favourable regulatory developments. The Challenger share price is trading at $5.93 on Wednesday.

Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: FB) faces legal action in the Australian Federal Court, accused of “false, misleading or deceptive conduct”.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) announced on Wednesday it has started proceedings against the US company and two subsidiaries.

The allegations involve the promotion of Facebook’s ‘Onavo Protect’ smartphone app.

The consumer watchdog accuses the social media giant of spruiking the app as a way to protect private data – when in reality it was harvesting data for commercial purposes.

“Facebook was collecting and using the very detailed and valuable personal activity data of thousands of Australian consumers for its own commercial purposes, which we believe is completely contrary to the promise of protection, secrecy and privacy that was central to Facebook’s promotion of this app,” said ACCC chair Rod Sims.

Onavo Protect was promoted as a virtual private network (VPN) tool, which is commonly used by individuals and workplaces to encrypt and anonymise internet activities.

The app’s marketing used phrases like “save, measure and protect” and the slogan “Keep it secret. Keep it safe”.

“Consumers often use VPN services because they care about their online privacy, and that is what this Facebook product claimed to offer,” Sims said.

“In fact, Onavo Protect channelled significant volumes of their personal activity data straight back to Facebook.”

ACCC is seeking orders and penalties from the court.

Facebook says it was ‘always clear’

A Facebook spokesperson told The Motley Fool that the company has co-operated with ACCC’s investigation “to date”.

“When people downloaded Onavo Protect, we were always clear about the information we collect and how it is used,” said the spokesperson.

“We will review the recent filing by the ACCC and will continue to defend our position in response to this recent filing.”

It is understood Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) deleted the Onavo Protect from its app store in 2018 for not complying with terms and conditions. The violations included harvesting data about other apps on the device to perform analytics.

The Australian court case adds to Facebook’s already substantial legal woes. 

The US Federal Trade Commission earlier this month started court action alleging the company is maintaining an “illegal” monopoly.

That court filing accuses Facebook of using data collected from Onavo Protect to identify potential future acquisitions.

Analysts at UBS Bank say that breaking up AMP Ltd (ASX: AMP) into separate businesses will not generate any increased value for shareholders.

This comes after AMP advised it was undergoing a portfolio review, following a takeover bid by American company Ares Management in November.

The AMP share price is currently trading at $1.735, which is below Ares’ offer price of $1.85.

What did the analysts at UBS say?

Broker UBS said breaking up the financial services company was a bad idea and would not generate increased shareholder value. UBS analysts, in their presentation to clients this morning, said that “stranded costs and capital dissynergies will likely dilute any higher value asset sales”. 

Regarding AMP’s portfolio review, the broker said “the sum-of-the-parts valuation for many financial services companies is worth less than the sum of the whole, as demonstrated in recent transactions across financial services, with significant separation costs and capital dis-synergies often underestimated”.

The broker gave the example of the $3 billion sale of AMP Life to Resolution Life back in July. According to the analysts, that sale was years in the making before it was finally agreed, but “disappointed when it came to capital releases and capital management”.

What’s been happening at AMP?

AMP has experienced a difficult 2020, which included a sexual harrassment lawsuit brought by a former employee. That lawsuit ended in a parliamentary inquiry with chief executive Francesco De Ferrari appearing for questioning in September, and insisting there was no systemic cultural problem at AMP.

AMP’s reputation as one of Australia’s oldest and most trusted wealth managers also took a potentially fatal hit during the 2018 Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry. 

The subsequent appointment of Mr De Ferrari shortly after the conclusion of that commission was supposed to herald a turnaround for the company. 

However, AMP seemed to raise the white flag earlier this year when it declared all parts of its business open for a possible sale. 

This has atttracted multiple potential buyers, with Ares Management making the first move in November by offering a cash and scrip offer of $1.85.

About the AMP share price 

The AMP share price started the year at $1.92, before plunging to $1.08 in March – its 52-week low.

The share price jumped and has since supported itself at the current level when the Ares’ offer was announced.

The company commands a market cap of $5.96 billion.

Ellume, a small Brisbane-based private biotech company, is in the news today. And for good reason – Ellume has just received an endorsement from the all-powerful United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

According to reporting in The Australian today, Ellume has been working on rapid diagnostic technology over the past 10 years and has developed a test for COVID-19 infection. This test, which costs around US$30 and can reportedly detect traces of coronavirus within 20 minutes, is apparently bound for America. The test has a 94% “sensitivity” for detecting the virus. It is also 96% effective for identifying negative cases. Those statistics are according to clinical trials of the test.

The Australian reports that, following endorsement from the FDA, Ellume is about to send “more than 100,000 of its tests” to the United States, beginning “at the start of next month”. Ellume plans on delivering more than 5 million tests each month to the United States by March next year.

Ellume in FDA spotlight

The FDA is often touted as one of the strictest pharmaceutical regulators in the word. It has called Ellume’s test a “major milestone in diagnostic testing for COVID-19”.

The report quotes FDA commissioner Dr. Stephen M. Hahn on Ellume’s approval:

By authorising a test for over-the-counter use, the FDA allows it to be sold in places like drug stores… A patient can buy it, swab their nose, run the test and find the results in as little as 20 minutes…

As we continue to authorise additional [Ellume] tests for home use, we are helping expand Americans’ access to testing, reducing the burden on laboratories and test supplies, and giving Americans more testing options from the comfort of their own home.

The US government has reportedly “injected” US$40 million into Ellume to assist with this process and accelerate production of the testing kits. According to Ellume chief executive Dr. Sean Parsons, this money is going towards adding “50 people a week to [Ellume’s] 250-person workforce”.

Dr. Parsons also told The Australian the company expects this development to “generate an expected 20-fold increase in revenue for Ellume”.

Even though the US Government has given Ellume the green light, there are no signs that our Australian Government will follow suit. As such, it seems we will have to wait a lot longer than the Americans for access to this technology.

This positive development for Ellume could also explain why some ASX biotech shares, such as Memphasys Ltd (ASX: MEM), are performing well today. It’s certainly a good news story for a small Aussie company.

The Australia and New Zealand Banking GrpLtd (ASX: ANZ) share price has been a positive performer on the day of its annual general meeting.

In afternoon trade the banking giant’s shares are up 2% to $23.41.

This latest gain means the ANZ share price is now up an impressive 35% since the start of October.

What happened at the annual general meeting?

At the event, ANZ’s Chairman and CEO provided investors with a thorough breakdown of the company’s performance over the last 12 months and their expectations for the future.

Three key takeaways from the event are as follows:

2020 has been a difficult year.

There’s no getting away from the fact that 2020 has been a difficult year for the bank because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking about its results in FY 2020, CEO Shayne Elliott commented: “It was of course COVID that had the most material impact on our profitability. With operating profit before these provisions broadly flat, the largest driver of the profit reduction was setting aside a further $1.7bn for possible future losses.”

ANZ’s underlying performance has been positive.

With COVID provisions dominating the bank’s results, it actually overshadowed a positive underlying performance by ANZ this year.

Mr Elliott explained: “…our diversified business delivered a decent revenue performance. In Australia, we achieved six-months of consecutive market share growth in our targeted owner-occupier market, while deposit growth remained very strong. We also introduced new processes to help customers move to online banking.”

“The work we have spoken about for several years to simplify and refocus the Institutional business proved massively beneficial. In fact, our institutional bank outperformed and I’m proud of its transformation. It demonstrates the value of a well-balanced, diversified portfolio in a market defined by high levels of liquidity, low interest rates and geopolitical tensions.” He added.

COVID-19 has changed things for the better.

The CEO also spoke about the future and advised that he is looking at COVID-19 differently.

He said: “There is another way of thinking about a crisis – it is of course just a period of rapid change. In fact, many of the great companies we think of today, companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon forged their success in periods of great dislocation. This is because people in a time of crisis have new needs and good companies figure out how to provide for them.”

“And this is where my focus and the focus of my team is. We stand ready to take advantage of the opportunities that will arise. We are supporting our best customers and will emerge with stronger relationships than we started. We will continue to reshape our portfolio to produce a more balanced, lower risk business that generates decent, more predictable returns. We are going to continue to make the bank simpler and easier to manage,” he added.

Mr Elliott pointed to its recent partnership with global payments leader Worldline as a great example of this.

He notes that this partnership will provide its “small business customers with access to the world’s best technology, allow them to get paid, quickly, safely and at low cost.”

Nike Inc‘s (NYSE: NKE) sales are bouncing back after initially falling at the coronavirus pandemic’s onset. Nike was able to shift its focus to digital sales quickly, and that’s proving to be the difference-maker.

Clearly, the company faces difficulties at its own and its partners’ brick-and-mortar stores, but it’s hoping that digital growth will more than offset those declines. Indeed, the company has put itself within striking distance of reporting a revenue increase for the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Nike is set to report its results for the quarter on 18 December. 

Meanwhile, positive developments on coronavirus vaccines mean that the athletic apparel company’s operations can potentially return to normal in the back half of 2021. Here are three important metrics investors should look at in this week’s earnings report.

Nike is rebounding

The first thing investors will want to look at is Nike’s overall revenue, which declined by 1% in the company’s fiscal first quarter. It will certainly help that nearly all of its stores are open again. However, with coronavirus cases surging worldwide, it’s unclear what appetite consumers have for shopping in person. Fortunately, Nike has a robust digital channel to help shoppers who would like to buy its products from the safety of their homes.

The second thing shareholders will be interested in is Nike’s share buyback program. The company suspended share repurchases in March, in part to conserve cash in an uncertain environment. Nike might announce in this week’s earnings report that it will resume buying back its own shares.

It recently increased its dividend by 12%, signaling its commitment to return capital to shareholders. If Nike reinstates its buyback program, it would show investors that management feels confident in the company’s prospects and believes the stock is undervalued.

Lastly, investors will want to look for what management has to say about holiday sales progress thus far. This holiday season is unlike any in recent history, and so it will be important to hear if the seasonal increase in consumer spending is flowing through to Nike. Interestingly, the company ended August with inventory up 15% from a year earlier. If the demand is there from customers, Nike has plenty of inventory to sell.

What this could mean for investors 

On average, Wall Street analysts are forecasting that Nike will report revenue of $10.55 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of $0.61 for the fiscal second quarter. If the company hits those targets, it will be an increase of 2.2% for revenue and a 13% decrease in EPS.

Nike stock has already gained 37% year to date, despite the lack of a robust sales recovery. If the company reports earnings below expectations and talks pessimistically about holiday sales and profit margins, look for the price of this consumer goods stock to pull back after the earnings release.

Still, investors should not be alarmed by short-term movements in the stock price and can treat a price drop as a buying opportunity.

In afternoon trade the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is on course to record a very strong gain. At the time of writing, the benchmark index is up 1.2% to 6,709.3 points.

Four shares that have failed to follow the market higher today are listed below. Here’s why they are dropping lower:

Mesoblast limited (ASX: MSB)

The Mesoblast share price was down 2% to $3.77 before being placed into a trading halt. Investors have been selling the biotech company’s shares this week following the release of disappointing trial results. Mesoblast requested the trading halt earlier today pending the release of an announcement relating to a corporate update.

Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS)

The Pilbara Minerals share price has crashed 19.5% lower to 70.5 cents. This follows the completion of the institutional component of its equity raising. Pilbara has now raised a total of $180 million from institutional investors at a price of 36 cents per share. This represents a massive 59% discount to its last close price. The equity raising has been undertaken to fund the acquisition of the Altura Pilgangoora Lithium Project in Western Australia.

Pushpay Holdings Ltd (ASX: PPH)

The Pushpay share price has fallen 3.5% to $1.72. This follows the completion of a bookbuild which saw two major shareholders sell down their holdings. According to the release, the 54.68 million shares were sold for NZ$1.79 per share, which was higher than the floor price and a discount of 5.3% to its last close price.

Retail Food Group Limited (ASX: RFG)

The Retail Food Group share price is down a further 3.5% to 8.2 cents. Investors have been selling the food and beverage company’s shares after the ACCC started proceedings in the Federal Court against it and five of its related entities. The corporate watchdog alleges that the company engaged in unconscionable conduct and made false or misleading representations in its dealings with franchisees.
