ASX Top 200 Stocks Down Under 11 October 2021: Carsales.com, Centuria Industrial REIT, IPH Limited

Carsales.com: Running too hot

In today’s edition of ASX Top 200 Stocks Down Under, we last wrote about Richmond, Victoria-based Carsales.com on 23 March 2020, right at the bottom of the Corona Crash, rating the stock two stars because we believed the company would not be able to turn itself around. Well, we were wrong with the stock rallying to about $22 in November last year before falling back to $17 in May 2021. More recently, the stock has had a spectacular run, rising to $26 on the back of what has been an equally impressive surge in new and used car sales around the world. That’s right, Carsales.com is not only an Australian phenomenon. The company has operations across the Asia pacific region and has investments in other automotive classifieds in Brazil, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Mexico. However, we believe the recent rally has caused this car sales platform to turn from a hot rod to a clunker, based on its current excessive valuation.

 

Also in today’s edition, a look at industrial Real Estate Investment Trust Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP) and Asia Pacific intellectual property lawyer IPH Limited (ASX: IPH).
