Wednesday’s agenda: RBNZ policy decision at 12pm AEDT

The latest US Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS, report showed that the number of available positions rose to 9.61 million in August from less than 9 million in July. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast 8.8 million job openings in August.

Sentiment was further hit when Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland president Loretta Mester told reporters she’d likely vote for a rate increase in November if the economy is as strong then as it was in September.

  • Pro Medicus celebrates 40 years of business, growing to a $8.75 billion market cap
  • Co-founder Dr Sam Hupert says medical imaging increasingly important in diagnostics 
  • Hupert says artificial intelligence is well suited to medical imaging


A shared passion for Burgundy wine united now Australian billionaires and founders of health imaging company Pro Medicus (ASX:PME) Dr Sam Hupert and Anthony Hall, who met at a wine tasting event back in the early 1980s.

Founded 40 years ago PME has become an Australian biotech success story with its “anti-radiologist burnout tool”. Their initial inspiration was to harness the potential of emerging computer technology to benefit doctors.

PME introduced secure email and digital systems for medical professionals in Australia and in the early 1990s secured one of Australia’s first internet domain names.

Hupert and Hall seized the opportunity when the price of silver soared, causing X-ray film costs to rise and prompting radiologists to increasingly rely on computers.

Operating from the same building in Melbourne for nearly a quarter of a century, PME listed on the ASX in 2000, made some game-changing acquisitions and now has a market cap of $8.75 billion with the co-founders each maintaining a significant 25% ownership.
