Peer Performance
The performance of several peer companies in the last 24 hours illustrates the mixed sentiment in the Australian market:
A2 Milk (A2M.AX) – Up 2.65 % at AUD 6.91, with a market cap of AUD 6.2 billion. Its P/E ratio of 29.61 indicates a valuation that remains on the higher end of the sector. The share price sits near its 50‑ and 200‑day moving averages, signalling a stable trend. Analysts view the recent dip as a short‑term correction rather than a fundamental shift.
Freightways (FRW.AX) – Down 0.1 % to AUD 9.91, market cap AUD 2.2 billion, P/E 23.31. The near‑flat movement suggests limited volatility.

Xero (XRO.AX) – Down 1.12 % to AUD 64.19, market cap AUD 7.4 billion, P/E 77.01. The decline is consistent with the broader sector’s softness.
