The ASX200 index has seen moderate gains in sectors like Materials, but market sentiment remains cautious, especially with concerns over China's market response to recent economic measures. In this environment, companies with high insider ownership can attract attention, as this often reflects internal confidence and alignment with shareholder interests. Below, we explore three growth companies on the ASX with notable insider ownership in October 2024.
Cettire Limited (ASX:CTT)
Cettire Limited operates as an online luxury goods retailer, with a market capitalization of A$865.41 million. The company, generating revenue primarily from online sales, recorded A$742.26 million in revenue. Insider ownership stands at a significant 33.5%, reflecting strong internal belief in the company’s future. Revenue growth is forecasted at 16.1% per year, while earnings are expected to grow by 29%, significantly outpacing the Australian market's projected growth of 12.2%. Despite some share price volatility and a decline in profit margins, insider confidence remains high, with substantial buying activity observed and no major sales. Recent changes in the board include Caroline Elliott's appointment as an Independent Non-Executive Director, aimed at strengthening governance as Cettire positions itself for continued growth.

Liontown Resources Limited focuses on the exploration and development of mineral properties across Australia and holds a market cap of A$2.02 billion. The company does not report current revenue streams, but it projects a strong revenue growth forecast of 40.3% annually. Despite posting a net loss of A$64.92 million for the year ending June 2024, insider activity indicates confidence, with no major sales recorded in recent months. Ian Wells’ appointment as Lead Independent Director suggests improvements in governance, which could further bolster the company’s future outlook. With a forecasted return on equity of 23.1% within the next three years, Liontown Resources appears poised for potential profitability despite short-term losses.
Pinnacle Investment Management Group (ASX:PNI)
Pinnacle Investment Management Group is an investment management company with a market cap of A$3.78 billion.
