Key Points

  • Revenue ($m): 141.4, up 89% from year-earlier 74.9
  • Pre-tax profit ($m): 136.5, up 93% from year-earlier 70.9
  • Net profit ($m): 129, up 92% from year-earlier 67.4
  • Interim dividend: 16¢, payable March 11

Bigger, high-quality companies like CSL, Macquarie and BHP are the best bet for investors worried about a rising inflation environment, according to Argo managing director Jason Beddow.
