Does Telstra represent good value after its fall?
Tim Kelley
August 25, 2017
Back in May, we noted that the Telstra (TLS) share price had fallen by more than 20 percent in the previous 12 months, and we asked whether good value might be on offer. At that time, we estimated the value of TLS shares to be in the region of $3.77 per share, and concluded that value was not compelling against a share price at the time of $4.42. Following its recent results announcement, TLS shares have fallen to a level close to our previous value estimate, and in a market where value generally is scarce, it makes sense to repeat the question: does TLS represent good value? continue…

Roger Montgomery

REA Group reported an underlying profit for the full-year FY17 of A$228.3 million, which was up about 12 percent. Most of the growth can be attributed to growth in the more expensive ‘premium’ depth ads, and much of the growth came from higher prices. continue…

Well, those successes and mistakes have been on show of late, thanks to the spectacular meltdown of the organisation he led, CPA Australia, where we’ve witnessed the very worst of corporate excess – but at a not-for-profit industry body. continue…

A Valuable Treatment
Ben MacNevin
June 23, 2017
Resmed was the first company under my coverage when I joined Montgomery and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed following the company for five years. Over this time, I’ve always been fascinated by the treatment of sleep apnea, and it’s helped shape my understanding of an important investing principle: To generate value, you don’t need to solve a problem, you just need to provide a solution that’s materially better than your competitors. continue…

What Amazon’s Whole Foods buy means for Aussie retailers

The purchase is a significant step-up in Amazon’s assault on traditional grocery retailers.
