What's changed?
Since last month, three stocks have joined the list and two have left.
The new entrants have experienced a sharp derating in share price (which has subsequently dragged the 'price' lower and while we're waiting for 'earnings' to drop).
Allkem (ASX: AKE): Shares are down around 15% in the past month amid ongoing weakness in lithium prices
Credit Corp (ASX: CCP): Shares dropped by almost a third on October 18 after flagging a ~$45 million impairment that's expected to halve FY24 net profits from $90-100 million to $35-45 million.
Centuria Capital (ASX: CNI): Shares down almost 25% year-to-date amid cyclical headwinds facing property fund managers
Credit Corp is currently trading at a PE of 9.2 based on its FY23 net profit of $91.3 million and current market cap of $840 million. If we consider the company's FY24 net profit guidance, the PE ratio expands to around 21. So the stock (and many others on the above list) may not be as cheap as they seem.
