Company Overview


Russell Research in the media


Stock Picks for The Bull.com.au -  29 July 2013

BUY McMillan Shakespeare (MMS)

I believe the company will work extremely hard and will successfully minimise any further adverse impact. In my view, it’s more likely the FBT proposal will be ditched by a change of government, or likely defeated or modified if Labor wins. I believe a good opportunity exists, irrespective of which party wins the next election.

Stock Picks for Sunday Herald Sun – 28 July 2013

BUY McMillan Shakespeare (MMS) $9.80

The salary packaging and vehicle leasing leader has a strong growth record and prospect despite Labour’s new controversial proposal to amend FBT, that sliced the share price.

Stock Picks for Sunday Herald Sun – 2 December 2012

BUY McMillan Shakespeare Limited, MMS, $13.30

This leader in the salary packaging and vehicle leasing business should grow in double digits. Return on equity 32 per cent, 4 per cent franked yield.

Stock Picks for The Bull.com.au -  5 November 2012

BUY McMillan Shakespeare (MMS) ($12.97)

This substantial salary packaging and vehicle-leasing group has averaged 30 per cent earnings per share growth in the past five years. New contract wins and ongoing business growth should retain it in double digits - with a franked yield above 4 per cent. Already a leader in salary packaging, complementary acquisitions of leasing businesses in 2010 have contributed to boosting net profit after tax growth.
