  What's happening in my beautiful land down under? 1/10 CBA just dropped a record $10.98B profit, but mortgage demand is down 17%. Telstra is buying back $1B of its own stock while cutting 1,200 jobs. And the global AI compute backlog just blew past $104 billion. Here is what actually moved markets this week 🧵👇 2/10 First, the big picture: US inflation cooled to 3.4%, sending the S&P 500 to another record close above 7,798. Back home, the RBA held the cash rate steady at 4.35% for the fourth meeting in a row. Markets got the inflation numbers they wanted. Local reporting season, however, told a much more complicated story. 3/10 Commonwealth Bank delivered a massive $10.98 billion cash profit, with a full-year dividend of $5.05 per share. On paper, it looks like business as usual for Australia’s biggest lender. Under the hood, the pipeline tells a very different story. 4/10 CBA CEO Matt Comyn revealed mortgage applications dropped roughly 17% following the May federal budget tax changes on property investors. Investor lending took the hardest hit. As a result, CBA quietly trimmed its FY27 mortgage credit growth guidance down to 4-5%. The headline profit belongs to the past year. The slowdown belongs to the next one. 5/10 Telstra delivered $2.41B in net profit, lifted its dividend by 10.5%, and announced a fresh $1B share buyback. Yet its shares dropped around 4 to 5%. Why? Top-line revenue growth was soft. The strong bottom line relied heavily on cost-cutting, including 1,200 job cuts across the year. Investors want real growth, not just financial engineering. 6/10 The global AI compute crunch is getting wilder. Neocloud provider Nebius saw Q2 revenue rocket 454% to $582M, flipping from a loss to $236M in adjusted EBITDA. CoreWeave doubled its revenue to $2.6B and raised full-year guidance to over $12.4B. Its near-term GPU capacity is completely sold out with an eye-watering $104B backlog. 7/10 On the ASX, money quietly rotated out of miners and into healthcare heavyweights. CSL, Pro Medicus, ResMed, and Cochlear all caught a bid in a single session. With commodity prices wobbling, fund managers are ditching cyclical resources and hunting for steady, reliable earnings. 8/10 Rubbish turned into gold this week. Cleanaway Waste Management surged 15% after global private equity giant EQT dropped a $9.4 billion takeover bid at $3.13 a share. That is a 32% premium. Cleanaway’s board opened the books for a nine-week due diligence period and plans to recommend the deal if it locks in. 9/10 The takeaway: Bank profits are riding high on yesterday’s loans, but higher rates and tax changes are biting the lending pipeline. Meanwhile, Big Tech and infrastructure players are pouring billions into compute capacity that is already sold out years in advance. The divide between traditional lending and the compute economy is widening fast.

  Forget the Telstra outage, there should be a senate investigation into AFL Tables being down for hours.

  @JohnOSullivan36 @MichaelWestBiz @MichaelPascoe01 I was hacked this week by a Telstra scam. Thankfully my Bank locked my Acs but I have used the entire week changing drivers licence, Medicare ,etc. 2 x200 k trips to Phone Dr for cleaning. I knew I should hang up but they had every base covered. It has knocked my confidence.

  @NBN_Australia is a joke. For the 2nd time in 2 wks my connection is down - their fault. They can't come out to fix it till next Monday! If I can find a reputable @STARLINK installer in my regional area, I'd be thankful (Jervis Bay NSW). I'm past climbing on roofs these days. Any recommentations? My @telstra hot spotting is the pits.

  Whats wrong with our economic system is the unpenalised rank hypocrisy when Telstra declares a record profit, its CEO gets a $6 million payrise after the recent triple 0 outage that claimed lives.

  @DHughesy No. Only an idiot would agree - because they'd be wrong. 1. It's not worth "over $300 billion". The $64 billion dollar investment is worth $269 billion 2. If you're using the "over 300 billion" figure ($337.2 billion) that figure means your "no future Fed Govt put one cent into it" bit is incorrect because this figure includes MULTIPLE additional multi-billion dollar funds added to the Future Fund's management portfolio. 3. The future fund wasn't built on some kind of free money windfall... The $64 billion invested came primarily from the Telstra sale. The Telstra sale meant the copper network was privatised, leading to Telstra putting shareholders first in refusing to bid on optic fibre rollouts. This meant the government has so far spent around $64 billion ($70bn by the end of the decade) to re-create Telstra's infrastructure under NBN Co. Meanwhile Telstra has paid $65-80bn in dividends since privatisation moved those dividends from public to private hands. So for every $1 we gained from the Telstra sale, we missed another $1 in dividends and spent another $1 in replacing the infrastructure we sold. Had a publicly-owned Telstra built the NBN out of dividends, and the government raised $64bn in debt to invest in a Future Fund, the books would look exactly the same as they do today. You've been dazzled by accounting tricks - following a magician's misdirection, and calling it "magic". 4. "negating the trillion plus debts... to some degree" is bullshit... It was created to cover DECADES worth of unpaid public service and military retirement benefits. Those debts amount to $322 billion, to be paid out of (currently) $269 billion in funds - leaving a $53 billion dollar black hole. Had the money been paid to super in a timely fashion (rather than the Future Fund being set up to cover unpaid pension debts), that $322 billion in benefits would be sitting in private super accounts right now. Again, you're dazzled by an accountant's magic tricks. Not free money - not "negating debts" - just a big government-owned super fund. "Can we all agree it was amazing when the magician sawed that woman in half! He should be a surgeon!"

  @FinancialReview This is classic regulatory free riding. Why would anyone pay Telstra prices or why would Telstra keep investing billions in regional coverage if customers can buy the cheapest network then use Telstra whenever theirs fails? Emergency roaming makes sense. Forcing the company that built the better network to subsidise competitors who didn’t is how you eventually end up with nobody investing in the better network.
