Sharesight20 January top 20 trades on ASX & NZX

by David Olsen, Senior Marketing Manager — Content/SEO, Sharesight | Jan 29th 2018

Last year we debuted the Sharesight20 weekly trading snapshots, a weekly update of the top 20 shares traded by the Sharesight userbase on the ASX (#Sharesight20ASX) and the NZX (#Sharesight20NZX) over the previous 7 days.

We’ve since expanded on this with the Sharesight20 monthly trading snapshot (click here for last month’s Sharesight20), where we look at the top 20 trades on both the ASX and NZX markets among the Sharesight userbase during the current month and dig a little deeper into the news behind these movements.

Let’s dive into January’s top trades.

Sharesight20ASX January Snapshot

Top20 ASX (8)

The top 20 shares traded on the ASX during January are again a mix of resource companies, ETFs, plus a few outliers. The A2 Milk Company regained its most traded share status from the November Sharesight20ASX snapshot after a quiet December trading period where it fell out of December’s Sharesight20ASX entirely.

A2 Milk Company (ASX: A2M)

Telstra Corporation Ltd (ASX: TLS)

Galaxy Resources (ASX: GXY)

Carsales.com (ASX: CAR)

  • Shares fell 5% on January 11th after a broker note from Credit Suisse saw the company downgraded to an ‘underperform’ rating from its previous ‘neutral’ rating

Afterpay Touch Corp (ASX: APT)

Afterpay Touch Corp is fast becoming a darling stock on the ASX with their ‘buy now pay later’ model attractive to consumers making purchases as cost of living pressure mounts on households.

Sharesight20NZX January Snapshot

Top20 NZX (8)

The A2 Milk Company Limited (NZX:A2M)

A2 Milk tops both the Sharesight20ASX and Sharesight20NZX trading snapshots for January which should not come as a surprise after:

Spark New Zealand Limited (NZX: SPK)

Pushpay Holdings (NZX: PPH)
