4. $REECE LTD(REH.AU)$ +6.98%
The popular Reece Limited, which shares saw significant share price movement during recent months on the AU, rising to highs of AU$28.00 and falling to the lows of AU$24.00.
Reece appears to be overvalued by 34% at the moment, based on analysts‘ discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at AU$26.32 on the market compared to our intrinsic value of A$19.59. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now.
Another thing to keep in mind is that Reece’s share price is quite stable relative to the market, as indicated by its low beta. This means that if you believe the current share price should move towards its intrinsic value over time, a low beta could suggest it is not likely to reach that level anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range again.
5. $CREDIT CORP GROUP LTD(CCP.AU)$ +5.98%
Many institutional investors have a fair amount of stake in Credit Corp Group. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it, which may affect stock price.
Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances.
Our most recent data indicates that insiders own some shares in Credit Corp Group Limited. It has a market capitalization of just AU$1.1b, and insiders have AU$21m worth of shares, in their own names. This shows at least some alignment.
