European markets surge 3.4%
ASX set to open higher
wise-owl.comPowered by
U.S. stocks climbed in light, pre-holiday trading, with the S&P 500
posting the biggest weekly gain since March, amid growing confidence
that the economy is strengthening enough to handle higher borrowing
costs as early as this summer.
The S&P 500 rose 0.4 percent to 2,099.06 at 4 p.m. in New York, the
highest since April 20. The index gained 2.3 percent last week, with
stronger-than-forecast housing data helping to boost optimism on the
economy.
European stocks extended a third weekly increase, amid optimism that
the economy is strong enough to withstand higher U.S. borrowing
costs, as traders awaited a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Janet
Yellen. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index added 0.2 percent at the close of
trading in London, taking its advance to 3.4 percent for the week.

LATEST UPDATE FROM WISE-OWL
TechnologyOne Ltd (TNE)
CODE COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENTGrowth Portfolio Update: TechnologyOne Ltd
(TNE)
ASX:TNE
Wise-owl recommended to buy TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX:TNE) on
19 July 2013 at $1.95. In 2014 and 2015 we issued hold
recommendations and subsequently moved our profit and stop
levels higher. TNE was last traded at $5.46 and the stock is
currently 180% in profit since our buy advice (not including
dividends). This position is part of our Growth Portfolio.
TechnologyOne has increased its dividend consistently at 10% per
annum, while revenue growth remains strong. During H1FY16
revenue rose 12%, however NPAT declined 17% largely due to a
16% increase in expenses. TNE's sales pipeline is heavily weighted
to the second half, thus management expects to achieve profit
growth for the full year and lower expense growth to around 11%
for the full year.
