Bell Asset Management Limited - Bell Australian Small Companies Fund (Class A) on Generation Development Group Limited
Thesis
Generation Development Group weakened because expected operating-expense growth for FY27 was higher than investors anticipated. The fund believes those additional costs are being incurred deliberately to accelerate growth and take advantage of strong demand. It added to the position on the share-price weakness because it believes the market is overlooking the growth opportunity behind the higher spending.
“the incremental cost being added to the business is being done so to take advantage of the strong demand environment”
Key risks
- Higher-than-expected operating expense growth
