What is Free Float?

Definition and Significance for Listed Companies

Free float refers to the percentage of a company’s shares that are available for public trading on the stock market. It excludes shares held by insiders, such as founders, executives, and strategic institutional investors. These are the shares that retail and institutional investors can trade without restrictions.

Companies with a smaller public share availability often have founders or leadership teams retaining significant ownership stakes. This can signal strong alignment between management and shareholder interests. As a result, it may attract investors looking for founder-led businesses with a long-term growth vision and strategic focus.

For dual-listed companies, the available public shares on each exchange typically reflect only what is tradable in that specific market. Investors should evaluate these shares separately for each listing to fully understand liquidity.

A higher share availability generally means better liquidity. This makes it easier to trade without significantly affecting the stock price. In contrast, stocks with limited public availability may experience greater price volatility. This volatility, caused by restricted supply, often attracts investors seeking growth opportunities in tightly held companies.

While this metric provides insights into a stock’s liquidity and ownership structure, it’s essential to look beyond it. Factors like market capitalization, industry trends, and company fundamentals play a key role in making sound investment decisions.

Free Float and the Impact of Index Inclusion

An interesting dynamic of this metric lies in its connection to index inclusion, especially for indices like the ASX 300 and ASX 200. Companies with a value of publicly available shares between 200 million and 1.5 billion AUD often reach a critical range. At this point, they may qualify for these indices and attract significant attention.

When a company nears inclusion criteria, index funds and ETFs tracking these indices must purchase shares to replicate the composition. This forced buying drives up demand and often the share price. In addition, active investors may anticipate such inclusions. They often engage in preemptive buying to profit from the expected price appreciation, further amplifying the effect.

This phenomenon highlights the importance of monitoring a company’s tradable shares. Index inclusion can bring short-term price gains and improve liquidity. However, investors must focus on the company’s fundamentals to assess its long-term growth potential beyond this temporary boost.

Screening for Investment Opportunities

A quick filter of the almost 500 companies I follow based on a public availability of less than 35% and a market value of between $200M and $1.5B reveals interesting results. This group includes a mix of founder-led and dual-listed companies, where insider holdings or cross-listing arrangements limit the public availability of shares.

What is Free Float? - a list of companies with low free float and free float value between 200M and 1.5B

Some strong performances among these companies have likely been enhanced by their proximity to or recent qualification for index inclusion. For example, ASX:GYG stands out as an interesting case, as it seems the recent float was structured to intentionally limit the public share availability to drive demand.

What is the Rule of 40?

The Rule of 40: A Quick Guide for Evaluating Growth Companies

The Rule of 40 is a popular framework for evaluating growth-stage companies. It combines revenue growth rate and a profitability metric to measure business sustainability. On this site EBITDA margin is used as the profitability component. The formula is simple: revenue growth rate plus EBITDA margin should total at least 40%.

Using EBITDA margin has distinct advantages. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) focuses on a company’s operating performance. It excludes non-operational expenses, making it a better indicator of core profitability. For growth companies, where net profits might be negative, EBITDA margin provides a clearer picture of operational efficiency.

This approach balances growth and financial health. Companies surpassing 40% demonstrate strong growth while maintaining efficient cost structures. It also adjusts for industry variations, making it useful for businesses like SaaS companies, where EBITDA is often a key benchmark. In historical analysis of successful SaaS companies, a combined score of 40% was seen as a common characteristic of well-performing businesses.

However, EBITDA margin has its limitations. It ignores capital expenditures, debt repayments, and working capital changes. A high EBITDA margin might not translate to strong cash flows or long-term viability. Relying solely on the Rule of 40 could overlook critical financial pressures or misrepresent sustainability.

The Rule of 40, using EBITDA margin, is a valuable tool for investors and analysts. It highlights the trade-off between growth and operational efficiency. Still, it should be part of a broader assessment, incorporating cash flow and balance sheet health for a complete picture.

An Example

I ran a quick filter over the almost 500 companies that I follow and this was the result:

What is the rule of 40? A stock filter based on basic criteria and the rule of 40

This is the “Who’s Who” of the best performing companies on the ASX (and a couple of US stocks). Only 3 companies failed to increase in price this year but all of those (except IFM) are coming off a great year last-year.

This was the criteria that I used:

  • Rule of 40 value greater than 40
  • Net Debt / Equity % less than 1 (this means companies with low to no debt)
  • Exclude sectors Property, Utilities, Basic Materials and Consumer Cyclicals.
