Morphic Ethical Equities Fund Ltd. ( (AU:MEC) ) has shared an announcement.

Morphic Ethical Equities Fund reported a 0.2% net return in December, outperforming its MSCI All Countries World Index benchmark, which fell 0.6%, and delivering a 14.2% net return for 2025, slightly ahead of the index’s 13.6%. The quarter was marked by strong gains in global equities but also sharp volatility in momentum and AI-related stocks, with Coreweave’s short-term revenue downgrade triggering a broader sell-off in AI infrastructure names, weighing on MEC holdings such as Nebius, Core Scientific and Galaxy Digital before a partial rebound late in the period. Key positive contributors included Greatland Resources, boosted by a well-received feasibility study and higher gold prices, and Canadian retailer Aritzia after strong earnings and upgraded guidance, while Nebius and Galaxy Digital were notable detractors despite management’s continued conviction that AI infrastructure and digital-asset–linked data centre plays will be major beneficiaries in a power- and GPU-constrained environment. The fund maintains high net and gross exposure of about 95%, with a diversified sector and regional allocation and a tilt toward industrials and communication services, positioning it to capture ongoing themes in AI infrastructure and responsible global growth despite elevated volatility in niche high-growth segments.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:MEC) stock is a Buy with a A$1.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Morphic Ethical Equities Fund Ltd. stock, see the AU:MEC Stock Forecast page.
