Roger Montgomery
June 17, 2023
The Australian homewares retailer Adairs Limited (ASX:ADH), is currently confronting the forces associated with a slowdown in foot traffic at its stores and a decline in online traffic due to declining consumption and falling turnover in residential real estate. continue…

Will increased migration boost car sales and auto stocks?
Roger Montgomery
June 16, 2023
The surprising jump in house prices – surprising because it comes amid rising interest rates – has been put down to a lack of supply and accelerating immigration. By the same token, immigration should also lead to a boost in car sales. Could this have a positive effect on the fortunes of companies like AP Eagers (ASX:APE), Carsales (ASX:CAR) and Autosports Group (ASX:ASG)? continue…

How AI will put a lid on incomes – and inflation
Roger Montgomery
June 15, 2023
Despite all the money that’s been pumped into the economy, inflation may not be a problem in the longer term. After all, money supply has been rising at an exponential rate since the 1960s and yet, since 1980, inflation has been in decline. I believe there are two key structural reasons for this – the massive drop in unionized labour, and the rise of job-displacing automation. continue…

Avita Medical receives FDA approval for full-thickness skin defects
David Buckland
June 9, 2023
It has been 30 years in the making, when Dr Fiona Wood and scientist Marie Stoner recognised the potential of tissue engineering to treat burns and a skin culture facility was borne. Their product evolved from cultural sheets of cultural epithelial autograph (CEA) to aerosol delivered cell-clusters and today it is known as “spray-on skin”. The skin cells then grow on the patient and the technology has been patented and commercialised through Clinal Cell Culture, which became Avita Medical (ASX:AVH). continue…

Is there a bright future ahead for Aeris Resources and Rex Minerals?
David Buckland
June 1, 2023
I recently concluded that while Copper’s near-term outlook remains closely linked to global industrial production expectations, as the global supply/demand curve heads into a deficit later this decade we expect the Copper price to hit record highs. Today, I wanted to focus on two relatively junior Australian Copper plays, owned by the Montgomery Small Companies Fund, Aeris Resources (ASX:AIS) and Rex Minerals (ASX:RXM). continue…

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

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…
