Strive Asset Management (ASST) has drawn fresh attention after a session where the stock closed at US$0.89, with recent returns showing a 6.6% one day decline and an 8.7% drop over the past week.

Those short term share price returns, including a 6.6% 1 day decline and 8.7% 7 day decline, sit against a 13.5% 90 day share price return. This suggests momentum has cooled recently after a stronger quarter.

If this shift in sentiment has you reassessing your watchlist, it could be a good time to broaden your search with fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With Strive’s recent pullback, rapid revenue growth, a loss of US$223.39 million and a share price well below the US$1.50 analyst target, you have to ask: is this a potential opportunity, or is the market already pricing in future growth?

At a last close of US$0.89, Strive Asset Management is trading on a P/B of 1.4x, which screens as cheaper than the broader US Capital Markets industry but richer than its immediate peer set.

P/B compares a company’s market value to its book value, so for an asset manager like Strive it gives you a quick read on how the market values its equity base relative to its underlying net assets.

Here, the picture is mixed. On one side, the 1.4x P/B is below the 1.9x industry average, which suggests the market is assigning a lower premium than it does to the sector overall. On the other side, that same 1.4x sits above the 1.2x peer average, so investors are still paying a higher multiple than for closer comparables, even though the company is currently loss making and forecast to remain unprofitable over the next 3 years.

Put simply, the stock trades at a discount to the wider industry but at a premium to its peers, which raises the question of whether the expected revenue growth and new management team are enough to support that higher peer multiple.
