Take advantage of inflation fears
Roger Montgomery
May 7, 2021
Fear of reemergent inflation peaked earlier this year, coinciding with a surge in US ten-year bond rates to 1.745 per cent at the end of March. While bond rates have eased slightly (now 1.61 per cent) they remain persistently and materially higher than at any time in 2020. Part of the reason remains lingering concerns about inflation.

Universal Store continues to grow sales
Stuart Jackson
May 5, 2021
Universal Store (ASX: UNI) is a youth-focused retailer of trend-led and casual fashion, shoes, accessories, lifestyle and ‘gifting’. It only listed last November, but has managed to surprise market estimates to the upside three times since then with impressive and accelerating rates of organic growth. Clearly, it’s a great story, and I like the firm’s short to medium term prospects. Continue…

Why we think NSR is an exceptional REIT
Gary Rollo
April 22, 2021
The real estate investment trust sector is not a traditional hunting ground for the Montgomery Small Companies Fund. REITs tend to be passive asset owners or rent collectors. So they’re not a natural fit for our philosophy of investing in talented management teams that can generate compounding wealth for our investors. But National Storage REIT (ASX:NSR) is an exception.

Roger Montgomery
March 30, 2021
If you’re wondering about the best way to profit from the electric vehicle revolution, you’re not alone. To date, Tesla shareholders have enjoyed the fruits of the company’s first mover advantage.

Why it can be misleading to categorise stocks as either ‘value’ or ‘growth’
Joseph Kim
March 22, 2021
Over the past month, the Dow Jones Industrial Index has outperformed the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index and a new narrative has emerged that the market is favouring ‘value’ and ‘re-opening’ stocks (contained in the Dow) over ‘growth’ and ‘COVID winner’ stocks (listed on the Nasdaq). The problem with this simple narrative is that some businesses can have the characteristics of both a ‘value’ and a ‘growth’ stock. Continue…

My take on the meteoric rise of EV makers
Andreas Lundberg
March 17, 2021
The valuations of electric vehicle makers, like Tesla and NIO, have risen spectacularly over the past year. But, given that car manufacturing is a very competitive, low margin business, have their share prices run too hard? Continue…

Why we continue to like Uniti Group
Roger Montgomery
March 11, 2021
David Buckland has been writing about telecommunications services company Uniti Group (ASX: UWL) since March 2019 – just a month after the company listed on the ASX, when the share price was about 20 cents. Today, Uniti shares are around $2.20. That’s better than the proverbial 10-bagger in just two years. And we think there’s more share price growth to come. Continue…

Stuart Jackson

Own the bank not a bank deposit
Roger Montgomery
February 12, 2021
After 37 years of declining interest rates that have fuelled asset price increases but laid waste to lower-risk income streams, it is perhaps surprising that now should be the time to be discussing dividends. But dividends are back in the spotlight, in no small part due to pronouncements by central bankers including the US Federal Reserve’s Jerome Powell and the Reserve Bank of Australia’s Phillip Lowe that low short-term rates are here to stay, perhaps for years.
