Quality growth – the recipe for success
Michael Gollagher
May 31, 2023
2023 has been a challenging year for stock markets, when we commenced in January we launched with a bang, with strong market returns occurring across the globe. By the time February approached volatility had set in and we find ourselves in a situation where like tropical weather, the forecast can change at a moment’s notice. continue…

How much more financial pressure can Australian mortgagees take?
Sean Sequeira
May 30, 2023
Talk to anyone on the street these days and the conversation will inevitably turn to how inflation is increasing their cost of living in some form or another. Inflation has risen steadily since the beginning of 2022 despite the determined efforts of Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to bring it back towards its target range of 2-3 per cent. continue…

Universal Store’s share price plunges after trading update
Roger Montgomery
May 29, 2023
Sentiment remains extremely tentative. Good news is met with share price gains of one or two per cent but disappointment is met with market capitalisations falling by a quarter or more in a single day. That sentiment met Universal Stores (ASX:UNI) last week, as it released its trading update, which also offered insights into consumer behaviour and guidance for its Full Year 2023 result. continue…

Three is the magic number
Roger Montgomery
May 22, 2023

All three can be found in the portfolios of The Montgomery Fund and The Montgomery [Private] Fund, managed by Sean Sequeira, Alan Kwan and Daniel Chan.

REA Group continues to deliver for long-term investors
Roger Montgomery
May 17, 2023
Since listing in 1999, the share price of REA Group (ASX:REA) – Australia’s leading online property portal – has risen from around 50 cents to around $140. So you’d have been far, far better investing in REA than in the property market that it serves. REA continues to be one of the highest quality businesses on the ASX, and a slightly underwhelming third-quarter trading update has not changed my opinion of the company’s prospects. continue…

Curious about the investment landscape in 2024? It appears that the current market offers a plethora of enticing opportunities for investors, a rarity not experienced since pre-pandemic times. This unique scenario stems from a confluence of factors, including elevated yields and comparatively rational equity valuations.

Why Australian Eagle invested in AMP
Sean Sequeira
May 11, 2023
Back in the 1960s, AMP Limited (ASX:AMP) built the tallest building in Australia, with magnificent views over Sydney harbour. It was a symbol of the firm’s dominant place within the local financial sector. Fast forward 60 years, and AMP is a shadow of its former self, and its share price has suffered accordingly – down 91 per cent since listing in 1998. Subsequent to its fall from grace, Australian Eagle identified certain factors which gave the company the chance to evolve and if successful, continue to play a big part in the financial services industry. continue…

Portfolio changes to the Polen Capital Global Growth Fund in the March quarter
Polen Capital
May 8, 2023
After a busier than usual fourth quarter, activity returned to a more normal level for the Polen Capital Global Growth Fund in the first quarter of 2023. This is partly because we are so confident in the current state of the Fund’s Portfolio. This quarter consisted of only adding and trimming current positions in the portfolio, which included adding to Amazon and Thermo Fisher Scientific and trimming weights in Mastercard, Visa, and Abbott Laboratories. continue…

Three transport stocks we like
Roger Montgomery
May 3, 2023
In this week’s video insight Roger discusses why calendar year 2023 could be a good year for investors. Disinflation has always been positive for stocks, particularly innovative growth stocks. And guess what? We’re in a disinflationary phase right now. Roger shares three transport companies that we currently have a positive view on including Transurban (ASX:TCL), Auckland International Airport (ASX:AIA) and Alliance Aviation Services (ASX:AQZ). continue…

High interest rates send autonomous vehicles into reverse
Roger Montgomery
May 1, 2023
For some time, we’ve been warning that rising interest rates would have catastrophic consequences for many profitless ‘prosperity companies’ (companies with no profit, and no prospect of making any). In particular, we’ve written that funding for these firms would dry up, leading to cuts in jobs and research and development (R&D), and that some firms would go under. Well, it’s all playing out as we predicted. And amid the carnage, one of the less publicised consequences is the impact on companies developing self-driving vehicles. continue…
