At its recent high of $96 per share, APT reached a market capitalisation of A$27 billion. continue…

Joseph Kim
September 11, 2020
One of the big winners emerging from the recent reporting season has been higher quality, small-cap retail stocks.

How much upside is left for NXT?
Gary Rollo
September 9, 2020
When we started the Montgomery Small Companies Fund 12 months ago, data centre operator NEXTDC (ASX:NXT) was one of the first businesses we bought. On our analysis, the shares were cheap.

A travel stock set to take off on a recovery
Dominic Rose
September 7, 2020
Travel businesses were some of the biggest casualties of the global pandemic. Many were dealt a near fatal blow by government restrictions and the closing of State and international borders.

Stuart Jackson
September 3, 2020
The share price of Reece (ASX:REH) – Australia’s biggest supplier of plumbing and bathroom products – has outperformed the broader market for many years. Encouragingly, the company recently reported healthy trading during the COVID-19 period. With renovation activity forecast to rise over the next 12 months, I think this is definitely a business that investors should be watching. continue…
