Smart Parking (ASX:SPZ) has been a strong performer for small-cap managers, though questions are emerging about the quality of recent growth. In July 2026, Plato Investment Management highlighted a record half with revenue up 96% and EBITDA up 85%, but noted investors questioned how much was driven by an acquisition and a possibly one-off surge in debt recovery. Merewether Capital fully exited after a highly successful investment bought near 20 cents. In April, Pendal, Ausbil and Acorn noted share price falls on concerns that higher fuel costs could reduce traffic and parking fines. Smart Parking operates in the Industrials sector within the Commercial Services and Supplies industry, and Thesis Tracker has captured 37 comments from 11 fund managers, including Plato, Merewether, Pendal and Ausbil. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Melbourne, Smart Parking provides automated number plate recognition parking management technology in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and other markets.
