The ASX's Good Fame and Character Test is not new. But the possible listing of Oliver Curtis' Firmus meant investors are paying more attention than they otherwise would.
You see, the Australian Securities Exchange does not let just anyone run a listed company. Before an entity joins its official list, the ASX requires that every director,…

Every time a parcel travels across the Tasman or a courier van pulls up outside an Auckland office, there is a reasonable chance Freightways (ASX:FRW) is behind it. Yet for many retail investors, particularly those in Australia, this company sits in the category of companies they may passively benefit from without ever consciously choosing to…
Duratec Shares Rise on Newmont PNG Contract
Duratec (ASX: DUR) landed a significant A$45 million contract from Lihir Gold, a subsidiary of global mining giant Newmont. It is a meaningful win that confirms the company's growing reach beyond its home market. The market responded positively, with shares rising 3.32% on the day, though the stock…
It is easy to think the Impact of The Iran War is simply businesses in the oil space or that use oil in their operations (for instance freight businesses). Or by extension, companies in the 'consumer discretionary' space that find due to higher energy prices (and interest rates), that their goods are more discretionary than…
The potential of Green360 Technologies' (ASX:GT3) Eco-Clay has been well-established, but getting it to market was never going to be a mean feat. Nonetheless, a major step was realised in the form of a toll-treatment agreement covering 30,000tpa with fellow ASX listee Calix (ASX:CXL).

"We are not going to attempt to dress things up," wrote Chair George Adams and CEO Richard Wyeth in their joint letter to shareholders…
Austal (ASX:ASB) is a good option for investors wanting a stock that'll be a beneficiary of Trump's 'Made in America' ambitions, because Austal makes things in America. Plus, it makes ships in and for Australia too. This author last wrote about the company this time last year when the threat of tariffs were wreaking havoc…
Amcor (ASX:AMC) is celebrating its 100th anniversary later this year, but it would seem there's little else to celebrate right now. Perhaps the dividend yield, but of course the high yield is more because of the lower share price than because of the higher dividend.
It is true that few names on the ASX carry the…
In a couple of weeks, some ASX Stocks Are Being Removed from the ASX All Ords. Other companies will take their place and it was only yesterday that we wrote about that fact and some of the companies being promoted. But today it is time to look at the stocks suffering the indignity of being…

Bapcor (ASX: BAP) lost nearly half its value on Friday after delivering a shocking A$104.8 million loss and announcing an emergency A$200 million capital raise at just 60 cents per share. That price represents a 65% discount, and the new shares will increase the total…
