3 Growth Companies With High Insider Ownership On SIX Swiss Exchange Up To 22% Earnings Growth
Reviewed by Simply Wall St
The Switzerland market ended weak on Monday, reflecting concerns about rising geopolitical tensions and awaiting inflation data from the Swiss and Eurozone economies. Despite this, the KOF Swiss Economic Institute's barometer indicates a recovery tendency in the economy, driven by improvements in manufacturing and financial services sectors. In such a volatile environment, growth companies with high insider ownership can offer unique investment opportunities as they often demonstrate strong alignment between management and shareholder interests.

Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Partners Group Holding AG is a private equity firm that specializes in direct, secondary, and primary investments across private equity, real estate, infrastructure, and debt with a market cap of CHF33.16 billion.

Earnings Growth Forecast: 14.5% p.a.
Partners Group Holding AG, a growth company with high insider ownership, recently reported half-year net income of CHF 508 million, down from CHF 551.2 million a year ago. Despite this decline, the company's earnings are forecast to grow at 14.5% annually, outpacing the Swiss market's 11.7%. However, it has a high level of debt and its dividend yield of 3.07% is not well covered by earnings or free cash flows.

Insider Ownership: 32.7%

Straumann Holding's revenue is forecast to grow at 9.1% annually, outpacing the Swiss market's 4.4%.

However, recent results show a decline in profit margins from 17.3% to 11.3%, and share price volatility remains high over the past three months despite substantial insider ownership supporting long-term growth prospects.
