From today's Live Wire;Best stocks to buy in a sell off.
Mainfreight (NZX: MFT)
Dr Philipp Hofflin: A lot of people would probably answer that with CSL's, Cochlear's, and SaaS companies. But just to be contrarian, I'll come up with Mainfreight, which is a New Zealand transport and logistics business - a completely unglamorous industry. But for the last 20 years, it's given its investors 22% compound price growth. That's over 50 times.

And the reason for that is they just run their business differently. It's structured in very small business units, hundreds of them, and they're in a very egalitarian corporate culture. So they've entered lots of markets, and as soon as they enter, they start gaining share. So great business, very well-run. It is cyclical, so we hope that sooner or later we might get a chance to buy it.
