<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a 2022 interview Todd Combs – a former <strong>Berkshire Hathaway</strong> manager – set out Warren Buffett’s three criteria for finding stocks to buy:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio below 15.</li>



<li>A 90% chance of making more money five years in the future.</li>



<li>A 50% chance of growing at 7% a year.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rightmove</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/tickers/lse-rmv/">LSE:RMV</a>) – one of the UK&#8217;s few tech stocks – has fallen 44.72% in the last 12 months. Does it fit the bill at today’s prices?</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Rightmove Plc Price" data-ticker="LSE:RMV" data-range="5y" data-start-date="2021-05-31" data-end-date="2026-05-31" data-comparison-value=""></div>



<h2 id="h-p-e-ratio" class="wp-block-heading">P/E ratio</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rightmove reported underlying earnings per share (EPS) of 29.1p in 2025. Based on the current share price, that implies a <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/how-to-value-shares/pe-ratio/">P/E ratio</a> of 14.47. Of course, a big part of that is due to the stock coming down a lot. In fact, it’s trading at an unusually low multiple right now. </p>



<div class="wp-block-getwid-image-box has-text-center has-mobile-layout-default has-mobile-alignment-default"><div class="wp-block-getwid-image-box__image-container is-position-top"><div class="wp-block-getwid-image-box__image-wrapper"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1200" height="851" src="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Rightmove_plc_RMV-1200x851.jpg" alt="" class="wp-block-getwid-image-box__image wp-image-1697189" /></div></div><div class="wp-block-getwid-image-box__content">
<p class="has-p-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><em>Source: Fiscal.ai</em></p>
</div></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The UK firm however, is expecting EPS in 2026 to be at least 5% higher. So the P/E ratio isn’t just the result of unusually high earnings distorting the picture.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So far, so good. Rightmove shares clearly trade at a P/E multiple below 15 whether investors look at the most recent EPS figures or the next ones.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The harder job is predicting what earnings will be going forward. And that’s where things start to look a bit less clear.</p>



<h2 id="h-2030-earnings" class="wp-block-heading">2030 earnings</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Does Rightmove have a 90% chance of making more money five years from now? <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/understanding-the-market/broker-forecasts/">Analysts seem to think</a> it does.&nbsp;</p>



<div class="wp-block-getwid-image-box has-text-center has-mobile-layout-default has-mobile-alignment-default"><div class="wp-block-getwid-image-box__image-container is-position-top"><div class="wp-block-getwid-image-box__image-wrapper"><img decoding="async" width="1200" height="396" src="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-28-at-09.58.06-1200x396.png" alt="" class="wp-block-getwid-image-box__image wp-image-1697191" /></div></div><div class="wp-block-getwid-image-box__content">
<p class="has-p-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><em>Source: TradingView</em></p>
</div></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Analysts think the firm will manage 39p in earnings per share by 2029. That’s well above the 29p it managed in 2025. It’s also significantly higher than the 31p expected in 2026. So things also look pretty good in terms of Buffett’s second condition.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Importantly however, 39p per share in 2029 <span style="text-decoration: underline">doesn’t</span> imply a 7% annual growth rate. It&#8217;s around 6.1%. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Buffett’s reported criteria only states a 50% chance of 7% growth, so it might not be out of the question. But this is where things need a closer look.</p>



<h2 id="h-artificial-intelligence" class="wp-block-heading">Artificial intelligence</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The reason the stock’s down is artificial intelligence (AI). Investors are wary about two things, the first of which is competition. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rightmove’s strength is that it has the most buyers and sellers. That provides <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/2026/04/18/i-sense-a-potential-opportunity-if-the-ftse-100-loses-this-quality-growth-stock/">value for both sides</a> – buyers know where to look and sellers know where to advertise.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The concern is that an AI agent might be able to just find house listings from estate agent websites. And I don’t think that’s out of the question.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The other issue is that the firm – potentially to fend off this threat – is investing in its own AI capabilities. That might be the right move(!) but it’s going to weigh on profits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Management has guided that EPS growth is set to be between 3% and 5% for the next few years. And that’s why the stock’s crashed in the last few months. </p>



<h2 id="h-is-this-the-time-to-buy" class="wp-block-heading">Is this the time to buy?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rightmove expects these returns to generate profit growth of around 12% a year from 2030. If that happens, shareholders are in business.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The risk however, is that AI investments turn into an ongoing expense. That’s what investors need to try and weigh up. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In terms of Buffett’s reported criteria, I think it’s a really close-run thing. But it’s definitely worth closer investigation.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Last week, <strong>Rightmove</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/tickers/lse-rmv/">LSE:RMV</a>) shares increased by 9.4%, so I took a closer look at whether this might be one of the top stocks for investors to consider buying.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If someone had put in £10,000 at the start of the week, they would have made an unrealised profit of £939. Not bad for seven days&#8217; worth of investing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But the property portal giant’s stock has endured a difficult past year, falling by 42.1%. An investor would have lost almost half their money if they had bought the stock this time last year.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, is the recent shift in momentum a sign to think about buying?</p>



<h2 id="h-why-did-the-shares-rise" class="wp-block-heading">Why did the shares rise?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Looking at the company’s price chart for last week, its shares were flat for pretty much the whole week. From Monday until 2.30 pm on Friday, they were down about 0.6%. But after 2.30, they jumped by about 10%. Was there news related to the company that made this happen?</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Rightmove Plc Price" data-ticker="LSE:RMV" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Looking through the internet, there wasn’t anything that stuck out. The closest to an explanation I could find was that non-executive director Amanda James bought 6,016 shares the day before. I don’t think this is an adequate enough reason to explain such a share price increase.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Therefore, it looks like the movement was due to the general volatility the company’s <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/how-to-invest-in-shares/finding-companies-to-invest-in/">stock</a> has been experiencing.</p>



<h2 id="h-the-sentiment" class="wp-block-heading">The sentiment…</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overall, there are mixed sentiments about Rightmove’s prospects. Most of the negative outlook from the company comes due to artificial intelligence (AI).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Back in November, it announced that it would invest £60m over the next three years, with a large part of that focused on adopting AI into its business model.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This spooked <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/how-to-invest-in-shares/how-to-be-a-good-investor/">investors</a> as it could hit margins. Furthermore, there’s a fear that AI-powered search tools could threaten the company’s property portal completely.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The share price has been dwindling since.</p>



<h2 id="h-has-this-been-overdone" class="wp-block-heading">Has this been overdone?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Personally, I don’t think the company’s share price decline has been justified. In its latest trading update released earlier this month (8 May), it reaffirmed its guidance of revenue growth between 8% and 10% for 2026.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Furthermore, the firm expects operating profit growth of 3-5% for the year, and earnings per share of at least 5%.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And while AI is a potential threat to the business, investors shouldn’t forget that Rightmove already has huge brand recognition in the UK, along with one of the largest property databases.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maybe it’s a good sign that the firm is willing to adapt to AI early on to benefit strongly in the long run, rather than letting the technology eat its business.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With a forward price-to-earnings ratio of only 13.2, the company’s shares aren’t exactly expensive either. And given its strong growth, they actually look quite cheap. Therefore, I think investors should consider buying Rightmove shares.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><h2>Should you invest £5,000 in Rightmove Plc right now?</h2>
<p>When investing expert Mark Rogers and his team have a stock tip, it can pay to listen. After all, the flagship Twelfth Magpie Share Advisor newsletter he has run for nearly a decade has provided thousands of paying members with top stock recommendations from the UK and US markets.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When high-quality FTSE shares lose close to 40% of their value in 12 months, my ears prick up. Because in my experience, the best buying opportunities are often found among the stocks that have fallen the hardest, especially when the underlying business is still intact.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Right now, two dominant UK platforms are sitting in exactly that position: <strong>Rightmove</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/tickers/lse-rmv/">LSE:RMV</a>) and <strong>Autotrader</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/tickers/lse-auto/">LSE:AUTO</a>). And the losses have been painful.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A £1,000 investment in Rightmove in April last year is now worth around £604.30. Meanwhile, the same investment in Autotrader now stands at a similar £617.10.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What on earth happened?</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-multipleseries" data-title="Rightmove Plc + Autotrader Group Plc Price" data-tickers="LSE:RMV LSE:AUTO" data-range="5y" data-start-date="2025-04-01" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value="percent"></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-went-wrong">What went wrong?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For Rightmove, the trigger was a single announcement in November 2025. Management revealed it expected 2026 <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/understanding-company-accounts/the-profit-and-loss-account/">underlying operating profit</a> will grow by just 3%-5%. That significantly missed analyst expectations, driven by the surprise announcement of a £60m multi-year artificial intelligence (AI) investment programme.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The guidance cut triggered the worst single-day crash the stock had seen in years. And since then, with the emergence of a £1.5bn class action lawsuit alleging abusive pricing practices, the shares have continued to tumble.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Autotrader&#8217;s situation is slightly different, driven primarily by a lack of supply. The pandemic was six years ago, yet there are still several lingering headaches that continue to plague the second-hand car market.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pandemic-era production shortfalls significantly reduced the number of new cars entering the second-hand market today. Yet demand remains strong. As such, the relatively few cars getting listed on Autotrader&#8217;s platform are being sold unusually quickly, often within a few days, even when listings aren&#8217;t being promoted with the premium advertising packages Autotrader sells.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This impact has been further compounded by a botched rollout of its new Deal Builder tool, which triggered subscription downgrades and even some cancellations.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-is-there-a-recovery-play-here">Is there a recovery play here?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite the painful <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/understanding-the-market/what-is-market-volatility/">share price drops</a>, the bull case for both businesses remains quite promising.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rightmove controls the UK property listings market with a near-monopoly grip and a staggering 70% operating margin. Revenue still grew 9% last year. And while the AI investment is painful now, the company projects it will pave the way to double-digit growth by 2030, backed by an even stronger competitive moat.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Autotrader&#8217;s equally formidable, commanding over 75% of the UK&#8217;s online car market. And the used car supply crunch driving today&#8217;s weakness is cyclical, not structural, in my opinion. So as interest rates steadily drop and supply chains eventually normalise, the pricing power of its platform should eventually start roaring back.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That said, the near-term picture does remain murky. Rightmove&#8217;s near-term earnings will remain pressured by AI spending that isn&#8217;t guaranteed to deliver success. And there&#8217;s no denying that the ongoing class action adds real legal uncertainty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For Autotrader, the limited second-hand car supply is so far showing few signs of being resolved any time soon. And the landscape&#8217;s now looking even more precarious as higher energy prices apply even more pressure to the automotive sector.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nevertheless, with both businesses generating exceptional cash flows, holding dominant market positions, and sitting at multi-year valuation lows, I think this is exactly the kind of FTSE shares crash that long-term investors shouldn&#8217;t ignore.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Obviously, not every fallen stock deserves a second look, but these are definitely two I&#8217;m seriously considering.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With all the volatility in the stock market right now, it&#8217;s becoming easier to build a portfolio of <strong>FTSE 100</strong> stocks trading at cheaper prices. And over time, by investing in high-quality companies at a discount, investors can go on to earn some pretty impressive returns – potentially even more than doubling their money.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here&#8217;s how.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-where-to-start">Where to start?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When hunting for FTSE 100 bargains, they&#8217;re usually in the places where most people aren&#8217;t looking. That&#8217;s why some of the best buying opportunities are often among the stocks that are least popular. And given they&#8217;ve taken a steep tumble over the last six months, the following three companies certainly seem to fit nicely into this category.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Rightmove</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/tickers/lse-rmv/">LSE:RMV</a>) – down 38%.</li>



<li><strong>Autotrader Group</strong> – down 38%.</li>



<li><strong>3i Group</strong> – down 36%.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now that we&#8217;ve narrowed down the list, the next step is to start digging into the details to understand what&#8217;s going on. After all, stocks don&#8217;t just fall for no reason. The task is to figure out what that reason is and whether or not the investors have overreacted.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So let&#8217;s take a look at one of the worst performers on the list: Rightmove</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-happened-to-rightmove">What happened to Rightmove?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From FTSE 100 darling to outcast, Rightmove&#8217;s market-cap has <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/understanding-the-market/what-is-market-volatility/">fallen so dramatically</a>. That&#8217;s despite the leading online property portal continuing to dominate its market. What happened?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Rightmove Plc Price" data-ticker="LSE:RMV" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>
</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rightmove shares began sliding in August 2025 after enjoying an impressive rally. But it wasn&#8217;t until last November that the shares really started to get sold off.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The catalyst was a profit warning, triggered not because the business is struggling, but because <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/investment-glossary/c-suite-meaning/">management announced</a> aggressive artificial intelligence (AI) investment plans that would sacrifice near-term performance in favour of long-term growth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since then, the company has been served with a £1.5bn class action lawsuit accusing the platform of abusing its dominant market position and charging excessive and unfair fees. And combined, these headwinds have created a perfect storm of cautious uncertainty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But as experienced investors know, the best time to buy is <em>&#8220;when there is blood in the streets&#8221;</em>. So is now the time to take advantage?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-here-s-what-i-think">Here&#8217;s what I think</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Starting with the AI investment headwinds, I don&#8217;t believe there&#8217;s cause for major concern. The company has a history of heavy tech investment in its platform. And historically, this continuous platform innovation is how Rightmove became the de facto choice for home buyers and sellers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Obviously, there&#8217;s no guarantee management will successfully deliver its ambitions of AI-driven double-digit revenue and earnings growth by 2030. But given its track record, I remain optimistic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What about the lawsuit? This threat certainly can&#8217;t be ignored. But it&#8217;s important to recognise it&#8217;s a long-duration threat.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A similar lawsuit filed against <strong>Visa</strong> and <strong>Mastercard</strong> in 2016 took roughly eight years to resolve. Furthermore, the abuse of dominance claim has an exceptionally high bar to prove in court, making an out-of-court settlement the most likely outcome.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overall, I think there remains a compelling bull case.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the market pricing Rightmove shares at their lowest level in almost six years, the risk-to-reward ratio at today&#8217;s valuation could be an attractive entry point to consider for long-term growth investors willing to be patient, especially since a full eventual recovery to where the stock was trading in August would double an investment made today.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <strong>FTSE 100</strong> has lost a number of high-quality companies in recent years. And another might be on the way out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some have been acquired and others have moved their listings abroad. But I&#8217;m looking at something quite different.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-reshuffle-nbsp">Reshuffle&nbsp;</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The FTSE 100 is meant to be the largest UK-listed companies by <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/getting-started-in-investing/what-is-market-cap/">market value</a>. But that can change as share prices move.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To account for this, the index updates every three months. And the next reshuffle is set to be very interesting.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Two companies have made it into the top 90 stocks. These are <strong>Harbour Energy</strong> and <strong>Ithaca Energy</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If they stay there until the June reshuffle, they&#8217;ll be included in the FTSE 100 automatically. And two firms will have to make way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As things stand, one of the names set to be dropped is <strong>Berkeley Group Holdings</strong>. But it&#8217;s the other one that&#8217;s catching my eye.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-rightmove">Rightmove</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rightmove</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/tickers/lse-rmv/">LSE:RMV</a>) is currently in danger. Its £3.4bn market cap is lower than quite a few <strong><a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/understanding-the-market/what-is-the-ftse-250/">FTSE 250</a></strong> names.&nbsp;</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Rightmove Plc Price" data-ticker="LSE:RMV" data-range="5y" data-start-date="2021-04-18" data-end-date="2026-04-18" data-comparison-value=""></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There&#8217;s a lot to like about the business. Its margins are huge, it has no debt, and it dominates the UK property search market.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Investors, however, don&#8217;t seem to care. They&#8217;re concerned about artificial intelligence and the threat of disruption.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rightmove&#8217;s problem is that there&#8217;s not much it can say or do to ease these worries. Its latest results, for example, were good.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The trouble is, this fits with the AI disruption narrative. Things are going to be absolutely fine – until they aren&#8217;t.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-disruption">Disruption?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ChatGPT can search estate agent websites to find four-bedroom houses in Oxford. But I don&#8217;t think that problem is the main issue even though Rightmove&#8217;s key strength isn&#8217;t proprietary data. What sets it apart from competitors is its <span style="text-decoration: underline">network effect</span>. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Buyers start their searches there because it offers everything they need. So why would they stop doing this?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One answer is if agents stop listing on Rightmove. But that&#8217;s a big risk as long as it&#8217;s the first place buyers look.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The still-FTSE-100-for-now firm isn&#8217;t – as the saying goes – a potted plant (that is, not a passive observer). Staying on top has it has done for years in this space is harder than it looks.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-costs">Costs</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite this, Rightmove shares are clearly falling for a reason. AI is set to have a real impact on its business.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Building out its own AI capacities is going to cost money. And that&#8217;s set to weigh on margins for the next few years.&nbsp;As I see it, that&#8217;s the real risk for investors. The firm expects these effects to be temporary, but what if they&#8217;re not?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Huge margins are a big part of Rightmove’s attraction so this is a threat to take seriously. Margin pressure, in my view, is the big concern with Rightmove. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-opportunity">Opportunity?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rightmove isn&#8217;t my top tech stock right now. I&#8217;m looking at names with better proprietary data or regulatory protection.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That, however, might be about to change. The stock is down around 45% from its highs and if it drops out of the FTSE 100, that could create even more selling pressure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If that causes the share price to fall further, it could get much more attractive to me. I&#8217;ll be watching closely.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While the <strong>FTSE 100</strong> has been relatively steady in these uncertain times, some of its members can&#8217;t stop falling in value. This group includes businesses that still dominate their respective industries and boast some of the best fundamentals around.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a long-term Fool, this gets me salivating. To quote stock market legend Warren Buffett, what could be better than &#8216;buying quality merchandise when it&#8217;s marked down&#8217;?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-fallen-star">Fallen star</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One top-tier company that&#8217;s caught my eye more than any other is property portal <strong>Rightmove</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/tickers/lse-rmv/">LSE: RMV</a>).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As you probably already know, the £3.3bn cap has a virtual monopoly when it comes to connecting estate agents, developers, and landlords with buyers and renters in the UK. For years, this has allowed it to post incredible margins of around 70%.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But recent share price performance has been woeful. As I type, the company has lost a third of its value in the last 12 months. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Rightmove Plc Price" data-ticker="LSE:RMV" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>
</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To be clear, Rightmove&#8217;s business model hasn&#8217;t suddenly broken. It&#8217;s still doing what it&#8217;s always done. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, there have been developments &#8211; both within and outside of its control &#8211; that have caused serious concerns among investors.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-s-gone-so-wrong">What&#8217;s gone so wrong?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perhaps the most prominent of the former has been management&#8217;s decision to invest heavily in AI. This caused the share price to plummet when the announcement was made last November. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s not just that investors didn&#8217;t like the idea of profit being lower for a while; it&#8217;s the possibility that this move might not work and that Rightmove will eventually lose its crown to a competitor. And the market doesn&#8217;t like that sort of uncertainty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recent events have only added to owners&#8217; pain. At the start of April, the company was named in a £1.5bn lawsuit after estate agents claimed it had been charging excessive subscription fees. The news sent the shares to a six-year low.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now throw in the prospect of interest rates staying higher for longer as a result of President Trump&#8217;s war in Iran. Given the impact this might have on an already-flagging property market, I think Rightmove&#8217;s plight makes some sense.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-time-to-make-a-move">Time to make a move?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then again, one could argue that an awful lot of negativity is priced in. After all, the forecast <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/how-to-value-shares/pe-ratio/">price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio</a> of just 14 is already significantly below Rightmove&#8217;s five-year average of 28.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although not a favourite among those looking to generate <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/getting-started-in-investing/passive-income-ideas/" id="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/getting-started-in-investing/passive-income-ideas/">passive income</a>, the dividend yield now stands at 2.6% too. Those cash distributions look set to be easily covered by expected profit. So, a cut seems unlikely as things stand.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There&#8217;s also been some director buying. According to records, four different directors snapped up stock in February and March. Prior to this, the last recorded buy by anyone on the board was in June 2023! This shouldn&#8217;t taken as a guarantee that Rightmove is about to stage an almighty recovery. Even so, I do like to see those who know the company best putting their own money to work.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whether these arguments indicate that Rightmove is the best value proposition in the FTSE 100 right now is, of course, open to debate. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But I do think this is one stock that&#8217;s worth a closer look.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Building a million-pound Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) is a goal shared by many UK investors. Reaching this coveted threshold is a multi-decade journey that requires immense patience and discipline, especially during periods of higher market volatility. But the good news is, once you’ve built the first £100k, things get a lot easier.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here’s why.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-unleashing-compounding">Unleashing compounding</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let’s say someone&#8217;s putting aside £10,000 a year to invest in their SIPP. After receiving 20% tax relief from the government, that automatically gets topped up to £12,500 of investable capital. And investing this money at the stock market’s 8% average annualised return, a brand-new retirement portfolio would reach seven figures in just over 25 years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first six years of this journey are spent just trying to reach £100,000. But once a portfolio enters six-figure territory, <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/the-miracle-of-compound-returns/">compounding really starts</a> working its magic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After 10 years of consistently investing and staying disciplined, a SIPP would have grown to £190,557 – almost £200k. What’s exciting is that the second £100,000 only took around four years to achieve instead of six.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After 20 years, the SIPP is now worth £613,524. While only £190k was made in the first decade, during the second, close to £423,000 of wealth was unlocked. And with just another five years of staying focused and disciplined, the retirement portfolio will be on the verge of crossing over into millionaire-territory at £990,590.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-aiming-for-8">Aiming for 8%</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just last year, the <strong>FTSE 100</strong> vastly outperformed its average. But when looking across the 2010s, the UK’s flagship index struggled to deliver close to 6% a year. And while a 2% difference may not seem like much, it actually adds close to five years to reaching millionaire status.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So rather than relying on <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/isas-and-investment-funds/tracker-funds-and-index-trackers/">index funds</a>, investors can decide to invest directly into only the best and brightest of businesses. While this involves taking on more risk, it also opens the door to potentially market-beating returns, slicing years off the timeline.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So which stocks should investors consider buying in 2026?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-top-stock-for-long-term-investors">A top stock for long-term investors?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of all the FTSE 100 shares in 2026, <strong>Rightmove</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/tickers/lse-rmv/">LSE:RMV</a>) currently stands out as one of the most structurally compelling, in my opinion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s the UK’s most dominant online property portal by a large margin. And Rightmove is still seeing continually higher spending on its platform through both organic demand and the firm exercising its pricing power.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yet, the stock&#8217;s down almost 40% in the last 12 months.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Rightmove Plc Price" data-ticker="LSE:RMV" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>
</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This downward trajectory stems as a result of management cutting its medium-term profit growth expectations, in favour of some aggressive AI spending to improve its platform’s technical capabilities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Profit warnings are rarely met with enthusiasm. So it isn&#8217;t surprising to see the negative reaction. But given the firm is projecting a return to double-digitid operating profit growth by 2030, it seems investors are being overly focused on the near-term performance and ignoring its long-term expansion potential.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To be fair, there are some justified reasons for caution. Competition is heating up, and the AI investments aren’t guaranteed to meet expectations. But with Rightmove shares now trading at their lowest point in almost a decade, it’s a risk I’m seriously considering taking with my own SIPP. And it’s not the only opportunity I’ve spotted…</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>FTSE 100 </strong>stock <strong>Rightmove</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/tickers/lse-rmv/">LSE: RMV</a>) has taken a massive hit recently. Since last August, it has fallen around 50%.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What’s interesting is that company directors are taking advantage of the share price weakness and buying shares. This suggests that these ‘insiders’ – who will have more information on their company than the rest of us do – see a compelling investment opportunity right now.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-director-dealing-at-rightmove">Director dealing at Rightmove</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since late February, four different directors at Rightmove have bought stock. The most recent purchases have come from Chair Andrew Fisher, who snapped up about £85,000 worth of shares in late March while the share price was near £4.20.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before this, both the CEO and the CFO bought shares in mid-March when the share price was near £4.60. Obviously, it’s notable that top-level management has been buying, however, I’ll point out that these trades were relatively small – between the two insiders they only bought around £30k worth of stock.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The final trade I want to highlight isn’t small though. In fact, it’s huge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It came from board member Lorna Tilbian and was worth about £993,000. She bought 220,273 shares at a price of £4.82 on 27 February.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This trade is really interesting. Because Tilbian has significant investment experience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She was a founder of stockbroker Numis Corp (now Deutsche Numis). She was also Head of the Media Sector in Corporate Broking &amp; Advisory at the firm until September 2017 so she is likely to know Rightmove very well.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Rightmove Plc Price" data-ticker="LSE:RMV" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>




<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-an-investment-opportunity">An investment opportunity?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, could there be an opportunity here for the rest of us? Potentially – I believe Rightmove shares are worth a closer look right now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This stock has been absolutely hammered amid the software sell-off. Clearly, a lot of people believe this company’s offering is going to be obsolete in the AI era.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m not convinced though. The beauty of Rightmove is that it brings together a ton of different properties in one place making it easy for potential buyers or renters to browse what’s on the market.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, it&#8217;s developing its own AI features to compete with platforms such as ChatGPT. Not only has it released a powerful new search tool (trained on 25 years of data) but it has also released a ‘style with AI’ feature that allows users to visualise properties in different ways.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for the valuation, the stock is looking very cheap after its 50% fall. Looking at earnings forecasts for 2025, the forward-looking <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/how-to-value-shares/pe-ratio/">price-to-earnings</a> (P/E) ratio is only 13.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Note that the <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/how-to-value-shares/dividend-yield/">dividend yield</a> is now close to 3%. So, not only do we have value on offer but we also have income.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, AI is a risk to internet companies like this. Perhaps people will stop using platforms like Rightmove and instead do everything through ChatGPT or with AI agents?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ultimately, there’s some uncertainty today. We don’t know how this will all play out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the stock down 50% and now offering a near-3% yield though, I think it’s worthy of further research. Insiders certainly seem to be bullish.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How much would a Stocks and Shares ISA have made in the last five years? Half a decade now takes us back to 2021 – hard as that may be to believe! And that means we are covering the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic, wars erupting across the globe, a brand new technology in AI that threatens to take a sledgehammer to many established industries, along with surging inflation and a cost-of-living crisis.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A Stocks and Shares ISA can&#8217;t have done that well over the time period, can it? Or can it?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unlike a Cash ISA which churns out the same return to every account holder, the Stocks and Shares ISA grows entirely depending on the choices of the investors. To get our answer, therefore, let&#8217;s run through a few popular options. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-power">The power</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <strong>FTSE 100</strong> is the leading index of the UK, containing 100 of the largest public companies. Investors can get access in a Stocks and Shares ISA through an index fund, which is a bit like investing in all 100 at once. How would it have got on? The base increase was 44%, but if we include reinvested dividends then it jumps to 71%. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A £20,000 stake would have increased to £34,256 in five years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What about across the pond? <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/how-to-invest-in-shares/buying-us-stocks-in-the-uk/">American stocks</a> – and the focus on tech giants – have offered some of the best returns going. A <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong> index fund would have returned 78% including dividends over the same period. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A £20,000 stake would have turned into £35,640.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another option is picking individual stocks. Five years ago, an investor could have plumped for <strong>Shell</strong> and booked a 185% return including dividends, <strong>AstraZeneca</strong> with 106%, <strong>Rio Tinto</strong> with 63%, <strong>Lloyds</strong> with 161%, and <strong>Diageo</strong> with a decrease of 48%.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The average of these five leading names from the <strong>London Stock Exchange</strong> would have turned £20,000 into £38,680.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The last example shows the power of stock selection. One or two good choices can elevate the returns. Of course, there is the danger of doing worse than the average too.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-brilliant-buys">Brilliant buys</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What type of stocks might offer above-average returns for the next five years? One that has caught my eye recently is <strong>Rightmove</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/tickers/lse-rmv/">LSE: RMV</a>), the online property portal which is listed on the <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/personal-finance/share-dealing/guides/what-is-the-ftse-100/">FTSE 100</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rightmove is one of the UK&#8217;s best and brightest tech firms. Like many forward-thinking companies that utilise new technology, the firm has low overheads and high margins. The net margin in the last financial year was a staggering 51%.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The downside of operating what is, when you boil it down, mostly a website, is the lack of an economic moat. Rightmove shares have been struggling recently because of the advances in AI, which might mean people use chatbots to do their property searching instead. The shares have fallen 47% since August.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Rightmove Plc Price" data-ticker="LSE:RMV" data-range="5y" data-start-date="" data-end-date="" data-comparison-value=""></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the other hand, Rightmove looks firmly entrenched with a share of UK property web traffic standing at over 80%. And that fall in the shares could be a chance to buy in cheap.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To sum up? There will undoubtedly be some brilliant buys on offer right now for a Stocks and Shares ISA. Rightmove very well might end up being one. I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s worth considering.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <strong>FTSE 100</strong> has some outstanding growth stocks. But could <strong>Rightmove</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/tickers/lse-rmv/">LSE:RMV</a>) be the most attractive of the lot right now?</p>



<div class="wp-block-getwid-image-box has-text-center has-mobile-layout-default has-mobile-alignment-default"><div class="wp-block-getwid-image-box__image-container is-position-top"><div class="wp-block-getwid-image-box__image-wrapper"><img decoding="async" width="1200" height="851" src="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Rightmove_plc_RMV-1200x851.jpg" alt="" class="wp-block-getwid-image-box__image wp-image-1663381" /></div></div><div class="wp-block-getwid-image-box__content">
<p class="has-p-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><em>Source: Fiscal.ai</em></p>
</div></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The stock trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 16. And from 2030, the firm&#8217;s targeting 15% annual earnings per share (EPS) growth.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-s-the-stock-so-cheap">Why&#8217;s the stock so cheap?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rightmove shares have crashed – and I mean crashed – 38% in the last six months. So investors have to wonder what the catch with those numbers is.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Rightmove Plc Price" data-ticker="LSE:RMV" data-range="5y" data-start-date="2021-03-21" data-end-date="2026-03-21" data-comparison-value=""></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The firm released its annual financial report at the end of February, describing solid growth in both sales and profits, with strong operating margins.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It also announced £140m in returns to shareholders through <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/how-shares-are-taxed-2/how-dividends-are-taxed/">dividends</a> and <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/investing-basics/understanding-the-market/share-buybacks/">share buybacks</a>. That’s around 4% of the company’s current market value.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All of that&#8217;s pretty good – and it might even justify buying the stock at today’s prices. But it isn&#8217;t what investors are worried about right now.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-artificial-intelligence">Artificial intelligence</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The forecast 15% EPS growth from 2030 looks great. But to get to that point, Rightmove&#8217;s planning on spending a lot on artificial intelligence (AI). That means for the next few years, EPS growth&#8217;s going to be more like 5%. That’s much lower – and below the firm’s recent average. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The company expects a huge return on these investments over time. But investors do need to ask themselves how plausible this is? If everything goes to plan, buying the stock at a P/E ratio of 16 today could be a brilliant move. The important word there though, is ‘if’.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-if">‘If’</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI&#8217;s going to change a lot of businesses. And it might be the kind of development that comes once in an investing lifetime.&nbsp;The big question for Rightmove is whether it’s an opportunity or a cost. But it’s impossible to know for sure at this stage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a sense, the firm&#8217;s like <strong>Amazon</strong> or <strong>Microsoft</strong> right now. It&#8217;s investing big in AI and <a href="https://www.twelfthmagpie.com/personal-finance/share-dealing/guides/who-or-what-is-mr-market/">the market</a> doesn&#8217;t like it. That&#8217;s why the stock&#8217;s trading at an all-time low (P/E) ratio. And investors might not get the&nbsp;chance to buy at this level again.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-insider-buying">Insider buying</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A P/E ratio of 16 suggests the stock market doubts that Rightmove is going to meet its medium term targets. And they might be right.&nbsp;One thing worth noting though, is that it’s not just the company that disagrees: some key insiders are also confident.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">CEO Johan Svanstrom recently bought £20,000 worth of shares and non-exec director Lorna Tilbian invested £1,000,000!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Exactly why they’ve done this only they can say. But whatever the reason, it’s a strong sign of confidence in the business.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-options">Options</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Insider buying is an encouraging sign, especially in large amounts. Investors though, need to make their own minds up about the stock.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s a lot of uncertainty about what AI means for the firm. But if it hits its targets, the stock could be a rare opportunity.&nbsp;Whether it&#8217;s a once-in-a-lifetime one remains to be seen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rightmove, however, isn’t the only stock that’s been falling. And in my own portfolio, I think I can find even better shares to buy right now.</p>
