Morningstar | Australia Remains the Largest Segment, but Exports Will Drive ARB's Earnings Growth

ARB designs, manufactures, and distributes four-wheel-drive accessories in Australia and internationally. The company's expertise in product innovation, marketing, exporting, distribution network expansion, and production efficiencies have made ARB one of the strongest performing long-term small-cap stocks. Management is as accomplished and credible as any in the small-cap sector. ARB has carved out niche export markets around the world, and its local distribution footprint is widening. The main downside risks are lower consumer and industry demand for four-wheel drives, Australian dollar appreciation, rising input costs, and further deterioration of the Western Australia economy. ARB is at the forefront of accessories design for each new four-wheel-drive model. The company's competitive advantages stem from its intangible brand assets, product quality, market understanding and ability to innovate.
