Yahoo Finance May 2024 Insight Into ASX Growth Companies With High Insider Stakes
As the ASX200 shows modest gains, driven by strong performances in the materials sector due to recent government budget allocations for critical minerals and hydrogen, the Australian market presents a landscape of varied opportunities and challenges.

Emerald Resources
Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Emerald Resources NL is a company focused on the exploration and development of mineral reserves in Cambodia and Australia, with a market capitalization of approximately A$2.40 billion.
Operations: The company generates revenue primarily from mine operations, totaling approximately A$339.32 million.
Insider Ownership: 18.5%
Emerald Resources has demonstrated significant growth, with a notable increase in sales and net income as reported in their latest earnings for the second half of 2023. While the company's revenue is growing faster than the Australian market average, its forecasted Return on Equity appears modest. Despite recent shareholder dilution, Emerald's earnings are expected to continue expanding robustly. Trading significantly below estimated fair value suggests potential undervaluation, although insider trading activity remains minimal.
Kogan.com
Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Kogan.com Ltd is an online retailer based in Australia with a market capitalization of approximately A$482.29 million.
Operations: The company generates revenue through its segments: Mighty Ape in Australia (A$11.39 million), Kogan Parent in Australia (A$274.85 million), Mighty Ape in New Zealand (A$142.52 million), and Kogan Parent in New Zealand (A$33.40 million).
Insider Ownership: 19.9%
Kogan.com has shown a strong turnaround, reporting a significant improvement from a net loss to A$8.7 million in net income for the second half of 2023. Despite sales decreasing from the previous year, earnings are expected to grow by 35.44% annually. The stock is trading at 53.7% below its estimated fair value, indicating potential undervaluation. Insider activities have been mixed with more substantial buying than selling over the past three months, reflecting positive insider sentiment towards the company's growth prospects.
OM Holdings
Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: OM Holdings Limited operates globally as an investment holding company, focusing on mining, smelting, trading, and marketing manganese ores and ferroalloys, with a market capitalization of approximately A$412.73 million.
Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from its marketing and trading segment, which generated A$602.07 million, and its smelting operations, which contributed A$388.84 million.
Insider Ownership: 38.4%
OM Holdings has reported a decrease in annual sales and net income, with significant one-off items impacting financial results. Despite this, the company's earnings are expected to grow by 29.8% annually over the next three years, outpacing the Australian market's forecasted growth. Revenue is also expected to increase faster than the market at 9.8% per year. However, profit margins have declined and interest payments are not well covered by earnings, reflecting some financial vulnerabilities.
