Aussie equities: Where to look for opportunity in volatile markets
Where to look for opportunity in volatile markets buffeted by Donald Trump’s trade wars, spending cuts, and geopolitical brinkmanship?
The trick is to identify companies that are strongly in control of their own destiny – and therefore less susceptible to market turmoil, says Pendal Aussie equities analyst Anthony Moran.
Beyond the chaos, opportunities abound in companies simply getting on with business – cutting costs, expanding margins and lifting market share, says Anthony.
“You want to lean into idiosyncratic upside – upside that won’t be derailed by macroeconomics or the business cycle,” he says.
In a new article Anthony gives examples of ASX-listed stocks led by management teams with the capability to control their own destiny.
For example, BlueScope Steel (ASX: BSL) is a beneficiary of US tariffs (it owns US-based steel-making facilities) and is undertaking cost savings.
Packaging giant Amcor (ASX: AMC) is also insulated from trade tariffs and focuses on low-volatility sectors. Pendal invests in both.

Jim Taylor: What’s driving the ASX this week
There were plenty of hits and misses in the ASX’s half-year reports – and high levels of volatility around results drove some big moves in the market.
By last week some 40 per cent of stocks had moved more than 5 per cent either way after reporting – a level not seen since 2019 and well ahead of the 25 per cent or so average going back to 2007.
Pendal PM Jim Taylor noted a new high for the ratio of a stock’s earnings-day move versus its 30-day average daily move.
“This hit 5x, versus an average of 3x in reporting seasons back to 2007,” he said.
“The savage reaction to earnings misses is driving corporate Australia to be much more proactive in cost-cutting to support earnings.
“They are also more constructive on share buy-backs as a mechanism to support the stock in increasingly volatile times.”
Consensus ASX200 profit expectations for FY25 and FY26 fell slightly, due mainly to lower-than-expected earnings factored into some larger-cap names in energy, banking, health care and tech.
