Shareholders of Resmed have been on a rollercoaster ride in the past year. Late last year, after news of the efficacy of Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs came to light, the Resmed share price dropped as investors grew concerned about the potential impact on Resmed’s business. But since then it has steadily made up lost ground and is now trading at similar levels.

- But what has driven the share price appreciation?
- Has the Ozempic effect hit yet?
- And does Resmed’s rally have further to go?

In our latest podcast, IML’s Senior Equity Analyst Bruce Du, gives his perspective.

AI has easily been the hottest topic in investing this year. While IML Portfolio Manager Daniel Moore is excited about AI’s potential, he sounds a reminder that investing in popular themes is “fraught with danger”. Instead of buying AI-themed market darlings which are now trading at heady valuations, he suggests long-term investors should consider companies which are investing heavily in AI, and are likely to be beneficiaries of it, but haven’t yet seen their share prices appreciate significantly.
