Volatility in small and micro-caps could be an opportunity. Here are 3 companies NovaPort likes.
You’d be hard-pressed to find an investor who doesn’t dream of finding that unicorn stock that rewards them with a huge upside. We’ve all heard the stories about those lucky investors who’ve made those elusive wins, but what if there was a formula that identified those stocks for you in volatile markets?
Thinking small to win big
Conventional wisdom suggests that ‘time in the market’ is a less risky strategy than ‘timing the market’. Boom and gloom provide attractive entry and exit points but only if the timing is right. Accurately identifying market peaks and troughs is notoriously difficult. In our experience, gradually allocating more to markets during times of market distress and less when ‘everything is awesome’ is a preferable approach.

After a fallow period for M&A in the Australian market, takeover activity picked up in March. Invocare (ASX: IVC), Estia Healthcare (ASX: EHE), United Malt (ASX: UMG)and Liontown Resources (ASX: LTR) all announced that they had been approached by potential acquirers. The combined value of these offers was close to $10bn. As is the norm, the offers were both indicative and conditional on further due diligence.
An Aussie small cap with plenty of upside
Monash IVF (ASX: MVF)is capped at just under $400 million and it's one of the three main providers at IVF services in Australia. During COVID we saw a lot of change in behaviour from consumers, a lot of spending in different parts of the economy, and IVF was no exception. We saw a boom in babies over that period with about a 30% growth in IVF cycles from 2021 over 2020. And while levels have moderated a bit from the peak, they're still strong and Monash's forward patient pipeline is very good.
