The ASX200 has been down more than 2.2% to around 7,939 points as the market pulls back from yesterday’s record high, pushing us back below the 8000 level. Amid this volatility, identifying growth companies with high insider ownership can provide a measure of confidence for investors seeking stability and potential upside in their portfolios.
Top 10 Growth Companies With High Insider Ownership In Australia
Overview: Bell Financial Group Limited (ASX:BFG) offers broking, online broking, corporate finance, and financial advisory services to private, institutional, and corporate clients with a market cap of A$468.29 million.
Operations: Revenue segments (in millions of A$): Retail: A$103.58, Institutional: A$50.36, Products & Services: A$48.10, Technology & Platforms: A$26.20
Insider Ownership: 10.7%
Earnings Growth Forecast: 26.9% p.a.
Bell Financial Group is trading at 25.7% below its estimated fair value, presenting good relative value compared to peers and the industry. Despite a forecasted revenue growth of 5.6% per year, which is slower than desired for high-growth companies, its earnings are expected to grow significantly at 26.95% annually, outpacing the Australian market's average of 13.2%. However, its dividend yield of 4.79% is not well covered by earnings or free cash flows and Return on Equity is projected to be low at 16.3%.
Overview: Mineral Resources Limited, with a market cap of A$10.53 billion, operates as a mining services company in Australia, Asia, and internationally through its subsidiaries.
Operations: The company's revenue segments include A$1.60 billion from Lithium, A$2.50 billion from Iron Ore, and A$2.82 billion from Mining Services.
Insider Ownership: 11.6%
Earnings Growth Forecast: 19.3% p.a.
Mineral Resources, with substantial insider ownership, is forecasted to grow earnings at 19.3% annually, outpacing the Australian market's 13.2%. Revenue growth is expected at 10.2% per year, higher than the market's 5%. However, profit margins have declined from last year and interest payments are not well covered by earnings. Trading at a significant discount of 60.3% below estimated fair value suggests potential undervaluation despite mixed financial indicators and high non-cash earnings levels.
Overview: Technology One Limited develops, markets, sells, implements, and supports integrated enterprise business software solutions in Australia and internationally with a market cap of A$6.71 billion.
Operations: Revenue segments for Technology One Limited are as follows: Software: A$317.24 million, Corporate: A$83.83 million, and Consulting: A$68.13 million.
Insider Ownership: 12.3%
Earnings Growth Forecast: 14.8% p.a.
Technology One demonstrates strong growth potential with high insider ownership. Earnings are forecast to grow at 14.78% annually, outpacing the Australian market's 13.2%, while revenue is expected to increase by 11.5% per year, faster than the market's 5%. Recent appointments, such as Paul Robson as an independent Non-Executive Director, bolster its strategic transformation and operational efficiency efforts. Despite a high Price-To-Earnings ratio of 61.2x, it remains below the industry average of 63.5x.
