Welcome to this fortnight’s TMTM Order Pad, where we break down one high-conviction investment idea and assess whether the market is mispricing the opportunity.

In this episode, Felicity dives into WiseTech Global (WTC.ASX) one of the ASX’s most widely followed technology stocks and explains why we believe the company could be entering a critical 2026 re-rating phase.

After a sharp sell-off across global software stocks, WiseTech now trades below historical valuation averages despite strong customer retention, growing free cash flow, a transition to transaction-based pricing, and integration upside from e2open.

In this deep dive, we cover:

• What WiseTech actually does and why CargoWise is mission-critical

• The pricing model shift and margin outlook

• e2open integration risks and opportunities

• AI disruption risk or competitive advantage?

• What the upcoming FY26 result needs to prove

Is this simply a recovery trade or a genuine asymmetric opportunity?

IMPORTANT: WTC.ASX at the time of recording 10th February 2026 is trading between $47 and $50

What does 2026 really look like for investors?

In this first episode back for 2026, Talk Money To Me hosts Felicity Thomas and Candice Bourke break down what’s actually driving markets beneath the surface using institutional insights from global strategy teams across equities, credit, derivatives and China.

Markets may be broadening, but risks are shifting and in this episode we unpack what that means for portfolios.

In this episode we cover:

• Why markets feel calmer but may actually be more fragile in 2026
• The rotation away from the US and why China and Europe are back in focus
• The next phase of the AI trade — and why it’s moved beyond mega-cap tech
• How to think about copper, infrastructure and electrification as AI enablers
• Why private credit and high yield could be the hidden risk this year
• Why Europe, particularly banks and credit, is quietly well positioned
• The key 2026 market catalysts to watch — from China’s NPC to US midterms
• How UBS’s “10 Surprises” framework is already playing out in markets
• What Felicity and Candice are actually doing in portfolios as a result

2025 was about chasing what worked.

2026 is about positioning for what’s coming next.

Black Friday panic, Christmas chaos… and a derivatives-led global equity sell-off. In this episode of Talk Money To Me, Candice and Felicity zoom out from the noise and share six major investment themes set to shape portfolios in 2026 plus the ETFs, sectors and stocks they’re watching right now.

Recorded on 25 November 2025 following a sharp but non-fundamental global equity pullback driven by CTAs, futures activity and a VIX spike, the pair break down why retail investors have been buying the dip, not selling it and why the medium-term setup for equities remains constructive.

They then reveal their 2026 Playbook, covering:

⭐ Theme 1 – Mid-Duration Fixed Income & Floating Rates

Why the 3–5 year part of the curve, senior bank notes, floating-rate notes and diversified bond ETFs (like MQSD) are compelling defensive anchors heading into an uncertain rate environment.

🔌 Theme 2 – The Great Energy Upgrade

AI power demand, electricity grid strain and the resurgence of LNG and nuclear. Featuring WDS, uranium via URNM/ATOM, BOE, PDN and enrichment play SLX.

🤖 Theme 3 – The Critical AI Value Chain

The backbone of AI: semis, cooling, power, data centres and transmission. With names including NVDA, AVGO, VRT, SMCI, ASML, TSMC, EQIX, DLR, NXT and ETFs GXAI and NDQ.

🧬 Theme 4 – Disruptive Science & Healthcare Re-Rating

GLP-1s, radiopharmaceuticals and gene editing. Opportunities across CSL, TLX, Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly and ETFs DRUG, CURE, ARKG and IXJ.

⚙️ Theme 5 – Critical Minerals & Strategic Commodities

Copper shortages, rare earth dominance and long lead-time supply constraints. Ideas include ACDC, COPX, BHP, LYC and ILU.

🌍 Theme 6 – Global SMID & Quality Rotation

One of the most compelling under-the-radar opportunities of 2026. Exploring valuation gaps, historical outperformance and quality SMID exposures.

If you’re planning your 2026 portfolio strategy, this episode is your end-of-year roadmap across bonds, AI, energy, commodities, healthcare and global SMIDs.
