    FlexiGroup quick out of the blocks

    Roger Montgomery
    December 22, 2012

    But market has factored in too much growth too soon.

    Buying a stock that has doubled in a year and become a “market darling” is hard work for value investors. It gets even harder when the company has declining return on equity (ROE), patchy earnings per share (EPS) growth, high debt, and an aggressive growth strategy.

    Based on its current valuation, the market seems to think FlexiGroup can do no wrong. The fast-growing provider of consumer and retail point-of-sale finance has done remarkably well after raising $264 million through an Initial Public Offering in 2006.

    Three Microcaps to Consider

    Roger Montgomery
    December 8, 2012

    One of the advantages that retail investors enjoy over institutional investors is that they can more readily invest in smaller and less liquid issues.  While the larger fund managers may have a relatively limited set of companies into which they can deploy meaningful chunks of capital, enterprising small investors are free to roam, and roam they should: research indicates that their investment returns can be significantly enhanced by focusing some attention on the smaller end of the market.

    The challenge for the enterprising retail investor is sifting through large numbers of lackluster small companies to find the few that deserve their investment capital. Good broker research at the smaller end can be scarce, and the company names (as well as their products or services) may be unfamiliar.

    Servcorp at a crossroads

    Roger Montgomery
    December 1, 2012

    Expansion success hinges on global economies

    Two analysts, presented with the same set of facts can, and often do, arrive at entirely different conclusions.  Indeed, every day and every time a stock trades, the buyer and seller are arriving at vastly different conclusions.

    On the one hand a renewed interest in cyclical stocks does not make it difficult to imagine Servcorp shares racing higher – the company having boldly positioned itself for an economic upturn by doubling its floor portfolio and expanding in the United States in anticipation of a strengthening global economy.

    Miclyn Express Offshore Limited

    Roger Montgomery
    November 23, 2012

    As you know at Montgomery Investment Management we have held a very cautious view on iron ore for almost a year, noting the apparent over-investment in supply and reliance on Chinese demand. However, we have a more positive outlook in other areas.

    Energy is one area where we feel that the supply and demand outlook is more favourable, and we have turned our minds to which companies might benefit from this.

    As we have written about elsewhere, one such company is Miclyn Express Offshore Limited (ASX:MIO).

    Legend builds its reputation

    Roger Montgomery
    September 18, 2012

    Some smaller manufacturers have good momentum in a tough market.

    The media often portrays Australia’s manufacturing sector as on its knees. The high dollar, rising wage and input costs, and soft demand are clearly taking a toll. But to suggest all manufacturers are struggling is wrong. Some smaller listed manufacturers are performing well.

    Transport parts manufacturer Maxitrans Industries almost tripled net profit to $12.3 million in FY2012 and its shares have rallied from 40 cents in January to 79 cents. Another parts manufacturer, Supply Network, said in July it expected full-year earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) to rise $2.2 million to $6 million. Its shares have almost doubled this year to $1.26.

    Engineering solutions manufacturer, Legend Corporation, also has good momentum. In August it reported full-year net profit after tax (NPAT) grew 18.2 per cent to $9.4 million, for its fourth consecutive year of profit growth. Legend’s total shareholder return over one year (including dividends) is 8.1 per cent. Over three years, the average annual total shareholder return is 49 per cent.

    Dicker Data’s unusual profile

    Tony Featherstone
    August 28, 2012

    High return on equity, high yield – and high debt – makes Dicker a challenging investment.

    Australian technology floats have been rare in the past three years. Most initial public offerings (IPOs) have been for exploration companies and the majority are trading below their issue price. In a risk-averse market, investors have shunned information, biotechnology and clean technology floats.

    The wholesale technology hardware distributor, Dicker Data, has had little fanfare since listing on ASX in January 2011, despite stellar earnings growth, a high return on equity and a share price that has more than doubled since listing, making it among the best-performed small IPOs.
