Insider Ownership: 11.6%

Mineral Resources, characterized by high insider ownership, is positioned below the top growth companies in Australia but still presents potential. Its earnings are projected to increase significantly at 30.9% annually, outpacing the Australian market's 13.4%. However, its revenue growth at 12.1% yearly is modest compared to some peers and profit margins have declined from last year's 16.3% to 7.9%. The stock is currently valued at A$40.8% under its estimated fair value, suggesting undervaluation despite financial strains indicated by poorly covered interest payments.
