Property portal Rightmove plc has been called the 'most outstandingly profitable business listed on the UK stock market' by a recently published article in Investors Chronicle. The article says that Rightmove is “a licence to print money for very little investment”.

Interestingly, the article does not mention arch competitor Zoopla, but does reference OnTheMarket.

The piece is about identifying various companies that have capacity for growth.

Its table includes businesses such as Fevertree Drinks and Unilever.
