Buy Hold Sell: 3 ASX names moving from promise to profitability (and 2 that might not make it)
Facebook (now Meta) founder Mark Zuckerberg coined the phrase “move fast and break things” – a catchy motto designed to celebrate speed and experimentation. But as investors know, speed counts for little if a company can’t cross the Rubicon from potential to profitability.
That’s the real test: turning hype into hard dollars. Profitability is the finish line, and plenty of flashy contenders never make it across.
In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, Livewire’s Chris Conway is joined by Martin Hickson (1851 Capital) and Steve Johnson (Forager) to zero in on a clutch of ASX names either approaching that threshold or already beyond it.
Which businesses are set to graduate from promise to performance – and which are still running on fumes, with more buzz than balance sheet? For good measure, both guests also reveal one stock they believe is presently offering more hype than substance.
