Any insights into IFT SP this week other than general market despondency?
I think you've answered your own question. IFT is my largest NZ shareholding but if price drops below $8 I will be tempted to buy some more.
I have been happily invested in IFT since 2006 and my only regret over this time is taking profits. Over the last few years IFT has traded around 10% to 15% below NAV and up to 30% below in the previous decade before that. I do think the company has matured a great deal over the last while (identifying the mega trends and making sound decisions). FYI Forsyth Barr have calculated NAV at 8.80 (May 21).
Not quite the same this Austel as IFT but IFT common partner paying over x2 book value

Should be time for the half year report, likely increase the dividend & provide some guidance on where the newer plays are performing. Also held IFT for a number of years and only regret taking profits to buy a house :) I remember in late 2016 and buying at $2.60ish, being the lowest entry. They’ve had a phenomenal performance since then.

Paul Newfield believes a good investment starts with a good idea.
It is a logical way of thinking for a stockpicker who graduated with a degree in philosophy, and separates short-term noise and volatility from long-term purpose and prosperity.
“We talk about investing in ideas that matter,” Newfield, Morrison & Co’s head of Australia and New Zealand says.
Hah great, that is hopefully at the head of every long term strategy plan.....
