Matthew Kidman from Centennial Funds is bullish on the Australian market in the medium-term. He says that PE expansion, plus 2-3% EPS growth, (which could be as high as 5% “if we’re lucky”) will drive the market higher, and cause the ASX to outperform US markets. “We sit here with a PE of 15 on the market; industrials a bit higher, resources a bit lower.
