Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Orica is a global leader in explosives and part of a duopoly in Australia. It is leveraged to ongoing regional resources demand driven by the industrialization and urbanization of China and India.

Bears

Orica is primarily exposed to mining, where explosives demand softened as a result of the end of the China boom.
