The ASX200 has hit a two-week low, trading down nearly 0.7%.
All sectors, except one, are in the red. IT and discretionary have fallen the most, both down more than a percent. The energy sector is the only one making gains, up 0.9%. This is largely due to Macquarie analysts releasing a note this morning suggesting Woodside’s share price could climb 18% to $32 per share. The boosted rating on the stock comes one day after the company began producing oil in Senegal, Africa.
And, Morningstar has started coverage of the Mexican fast casual diner, Guzman y Gomez, soon to list on the ASX.
The data provider has issued a fair value of $15 per share for the stock ā well below its current valuation, which implies a fair value of $22 per share.
