7 ASX growth stocks ticking all the boxes right now

With reporting season in the rearview and the market flying (apart from today), now is the perfect time to take a look at some of the best-performing growth stocks on the ASX.

Right after reporting season, we get this nice little window of market lucidity. It’s the point at which we’re going to have the most up-to-date, relevant information about stocks - when they are “de-risked” if you will (to the extent that stocks can be).

So, how does one go about identifying said stocks? Well, I’ve previously shared some basic methodology for screening growth stocks, which is replicated below. Meanwhile, my colleague Carl Capolingua will contribute his technical analysis skills.

Throw into the mix some comments from fund managers on the Livewire platform, and we think that’s a fairly robust framework for sorting the wheat from the chaff.

As always, do your own research before making any investment decision. The analysis below is for educational purposes only. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future return. 

Factor screening

Whilst far from exhaustive, below are a handful of factors that can be important in screening for growth stocks:

• Sales growth (1-yr forward) > 15% – The cornerstone of any growth company. Strong revenue growth is essential, showing the business can expand meaningfully from one period to the next.

• EPS growth (1-yr forward) > 10% – Earnings should rise in step with sales. Strong EPS growth confirms that revenue gains are translating into shareholder value.
• EBITDA margin (1-yr forward) > 10% – Growth companies must demonstrate operating leverage. Expanding margins indicate that scale is improving profitability, not just top-line growth.
• ROE (1-yr forward) > 10% – A quality filter. High ROE shows that management is deploying shareholder capital efficiently to generate profits.
• Cash flow return on invested capital (CFROIC) > 5% – Cash generation matters. A company must convert invested capital into real cash returns, not just accounting earnings.

Using the investment analysis tool HALO, we found 17 stocks in the ASX 200 that currently fit the criteria. The data used was current to 2 September 2025.

So, which stocks made the cut? Let’s find out.

#1 - Life360 (ASX: 360)

In the June quarter alone, revenue climbed 36% year-on-year to US$115.4 million, helping Life360 achieve a quarterly net income of US$7.0 million (from a US$11.0 million loss a year prior). 

This growth was fueled by rising subscription numbers and higher user engagement, prompting management to raise full-year guidance and underscore the company’s strong growth trajectory.

Fundie view

In late July, I spoke to Ophir's Andrew Mitchell about Life360, who said; 

“They’ve got that virality. Customer acquisition costs are low. Once they really start flexing the platform - advertising, pet, aged care - it’s going to surprise everyone,” Mitchell said.

Wilson Asset Management's Shaun Weick recently rated the stock a BUY post results, whilst colleague Vishal Teckchandani spoke with CFO Russel Burke following the latest earnings release - the interview is available below

Technical Analysis

ChartWatch ASX Scans: Feature Uptrend 10x 12/07/24-29/11/24, then 5x since 26/05/25

Trends

• Short-term (ST) uptrend (light green ribbon), well established, ST uptrend ribbon is acting as a zone of dynamic demand ✅
• Long-term (LT) uptrend (dark green ribbon), well established, LT uptrend ribbon acting as a zone of dynamic demand ✅

Price Action

• Rising peaks and rising troughs (i.e., supply removal and demand reinforcement, respectively) ✅
• Key points of demand (POD): Static: 15/08 low @ 42.63; 21/08 low @ 43.1; Dynamic: ST uptrend ribbon, presently 41.60-43.50
• Key points of supply (POS): Static: 27/08 high @ 46.94

Candles

• Predominantly demand-side (i.e., white-bodied and or downward pointing shadows) ⬜✅

View: Apart from what so far appears to be a minor pullback from 46.94 (showing largely defensive demand-side oriented candles), the 360 chart is a picture of excess demand. I remain comfortable backing the prevailing short and long-term uptrends. 

Watch for ⚠️: A close below 42.63-43.10 / the short-term uptrend ribbon would terminate the short-term uptrend.

#2 - Codan (ASX: CDA)

The electronics technology company reported a blockbuster FY25, with group revenue up 22% to A$674.2 million and net profit after tax (NPAT) up 27% to A$103.5 million, beating market expectations. 

The result was underpinned by strong organic growth and the successful integration of the A$33.6 million Kägwerks acquisition, which boosted Codan’s tactical communications segment. 

Codan hiked its dividend and noted it is pursuing further strategic acquisitions to enhance revenue stability, reflecting confidence in its growth strategy.

Fundie view

Arden Jennings, from Ausbil Investment Management, is bullish on CDA, saying in an early August interview with Livewire; 

“We’ve recently seen the announcement come out of NATO lifting defence spending, and we believe that’ll benefit companies such as Codan”.

Candles

• Predominantly demand-side, a few supply-side showings (i.e., black-bodied and or upward pointing shadows) in four of the last five sessions – but these are small with respect to overall strong trends and price action…⬜✅

View: One of ChartWatch ASX Scan’s greatest successes in 2025. There’s a little trepidation as shown in very recent candles, but the stock has pretty much gone vertical for the last 2 months… So, I’d say a “little trepidation” is demonstrating the supply-side is largely unwilling to take profits here in any meaningful way. What does that mean? It means they still want to be holders; they still see value here – even after that massive appreciation. But there’s also a demand side, and they’re similarly not looking too perturbed by current pricing. This is still a picture of excess demand, and again, I remain comfortable backing the prevailing short and long-term uptrends. 

Watch for ⚠️: A close below the short-term uptrend ribbon would terminate the short-term uptrend.

#3 - Charter Hall Group (ASX: CHC)

The property fund manager posted solid FY25 growth, with operating earnings of A$385.0 million (81.4 cents per security), a 7.3% increase year-on-year. Funds under management (FUM) expanded by A$3.4 billion, to reach A$84.3 billion, driven by new equity inflows and acquisitions. 

During the year, Charter Hall undertook major portfolio moves – including a $1.3 billion property privatisation and the launch of a $2.5 billion retail property fund – which, alongside stabilising asset values, fuelled its growth. 

The group also grew distributions by 6% and noted an accelerating pipeline of investor capital, positioning it for continued expansion.

Fundie view

David Wilson from First Sentier Investors is bullish on Charter Hall, pitching the stock on a property-focused episode of Buy Hold Sell. He said; 

David Harrison's done a great job over a long period of time. The stock is on a PE of 20, but it's probably going to get high single-digit, maybe even early double-digit EPS growth. FUM’s probably going to grow from $70 billion to $100 billion towards the end of the decade. So we think it delivers nice growth. It's got a nicely diversified business as well.

Price Action

• Rising peaks and rising troughs ✅
• Key POD: Static: 15/08 low @ 21.54; Dynamic: ST uptrend ribbon, presently 21.80-22.50
• Key POS: Static: 26/08 high @ 24.20

Candles

• Predominantly demand-side (although some credible supply-side showings creeping in since 26/08 worth noting) ⬜⬛🧐

View: Massively strong set of technicals, but like 360 and to a lesser extent CDA, is also seeing a relatively small reaction back towards the ST uptrend ribbon. Candles since 26/8 do indicate very short-term supply-side control – so whilst I remain comfortable backing the prevailing short and long-term uptrends - I personally would refrain from adding risk until we see the price action at the short-term uptrend ribbon. Some strong demand-side candles there should help restart the broader uptrend. 

Watch for ⚠️: A close below 21.54 / the short-term uptrend ribbon would terminate the short-term uptrend.

#4 - Catalyst Metals (ASX: CYL)

The gold miner’s FY2025 results hit record levels, as revenue jumped to A$361.4 million, up roughly 49% from the prior year, and net profit surged to A$119.3 million (compared to just A$23.6 million in FY2024). 

This fivefold leap in profit was driven by increased gold production and successful acquisitions that boosted output and efficiency. Catalyst’s turnaround included significantly higher earnings per share, reflecting the robust growth. 

The company emphasised its strengthened operational platform and expanded resource base, positioning it for further growth after integrating new assets into its portfolio.

Candles

• Predominantly demand-side ⬜✅

View: One of the most featured (i.e., highest conviction) uptrends in ChartWatch ASX Scans. Another example of what complete demand-side control looks like on a chart. I cannot fault it, and therefore, I remain comfortable backing the prevailing short and long-term uptrends. 

Watch for ⚠️: A close below 6.81 / the short-term uptrend ribbon would terminate the short-term uptrend.

#5 - GENESIS MINERALS (ASX: GMD)

Genesis Minerals delivered stellar FY2025 results, doubling revenue to A$920.1 million and boosting net profit 127% to A$221.2 million. Gold production rose 59% to 214,311 ounces (exceeding guidance) while all-in sustaining costs held flat at ~A$2,398/oz, and EBITDA surged 256% to A$454.1 million. 

Genesis completed a A$250 million acquisition of Focus Minerals’ Laverton gold project – adding ~4 Moz to its resource base – and issued higher FY26 output guidance of 260–290 koz under its “ASPIRE 400” growth strategy

Fundie view

On an early June episode of Buy Hold Sell, Emanuel Datt rated Genesis a BUY and said the following; 

I think that there's significant latent optionality in the Genesis portfolio itself, and notably, we've seen the company acquire a big, four-million-ounce portfolio from Focus Minerals. 

So that makes the total mineral endowment about 18 million ounces, off the top of my head. And I think there's optionality in terms of being able to significantly increase their rate of production over what the company are messaging at the moment.

Technical Analysis

ChartWatch ASX Scans: Feature Uptrend 25x 12/07/24-2/06/25 then, 2x 15/08/25

Trends

• ST uptrend, newly established but strengthening, ST uptrend ribbon is acting as a zone of dynamic demand ✅

Price Action

• Key POD: Static: 21/08 high @ 4.63; ST uptrend ribbon, presently 4.30-4.40
• Key POS: Static: 3/06 all-time high @ 5.24

Candles

• Predominantly demand-side ✅

View: Another ChartWatch ASX Scans consistent and strong performer. Recently added back to Feature Uptrends after the pullback from the 5.24 June peak. That peak is now back in play, and may see some latent supply seep into the system. The price action and candles suggest the demand side is highly motivated again, and I expect it will be able to deal with 5.24 in due course. Another picture of excess demand, and therefore, I remain comfortable backing the prevailing short and long-term uptrends. 

Watch for ⚠️: A close below 4.63 / the short-term uptrend ribbon would terminate the short-term uptrend.

#6 - HUB24 (ASX: HUB)

The investment platform provider reported record FY25 figures, highlighted by a 24% rise in revenue to A$406.6 million and a 68% jump in statutory NPAT to A$79.5 million. Underlying EBITDA grew 38% to A$162.4 million, underscoring strong operating leverage. 

HUB24 also achieved record net inflows of A$19.8 billion onto its platform and expanded its adviser network by 13%, to 5,097 advisers. 

This customer growth and scale efficiency supported a higher dividend and bolstered HUB24’s strategy to lead the wealth management platform market amid rising competition.

Fundie view

Wilson Asset Management's Sam Koch rated the stock a BUY post results, saying that structural growth drivers remain compelling, highlighting the following points; 

1. FY2025 adviser growth is the strongest it has been since FY21
2. HUB only services 33% of advisers, despite distribution agreements covering 77% of the market.
3. Average FUA per adviser is $22m, well below the industry average of $76m, highlighting significant upside.
4. Secular industry tailwinds, being the growth in adviser numbers and client assets.

All of these drivers continue to support revenue growth and margin expansion over time. We currently hold HUB and have done so since 2021.

On a recent episode of Buy Hold Sell, Ben Rundle from Hayborough Investment Partners and Joe McCarthy from Elston Asset Management both rated the stock a HOLD, highlighting how well the company has executed - something that Yarra Capital Management's Joel Fleming also acknowledged this week. 

Livewire's Anna Dadic spoke to HUB24 CEO Andrew Alcock as part of our C-Suite coverage during reporting season. The interview is available below.

• Mixed ⬜⬛⚠️

View: Another ChartWatch ASX Scans stalwart, and it was particularly rewarding to catch the re-entry very early in April. There are some developing issues here, though. The price action since the 25/08 high is disappointing – it smacks of increasing supply-side control. The price has closed below the short-term uptrend ribbon, and this is a signal for me to manage my risk. I remain comfortable, however, backing the prevailing long-term uptrend. 

Watch for ⚠️: A close below 42.63-43.10 / the short-term uptrend ribbon would terminate the short-term uptrend.

#7 - Lovisa (ASX: LOV)

The fast-fashion jewellery retailer continued its global expansion, with FY25 sales revenue up 14.2% to A$798.1 million. Net profit after tax increased modestly by 4.8% to A$86.3 million as strong top-line growth was partly offset by higher costs. 

Lovisa opened 162 new stores during the year, bringing its total store count to 1,031 across 26 countries. 

This aggressive rollout, along with a 1.7% lift in comparable store sales, drove revenue growth. 

The company noted an improved sales trajectory in the second half and an upbeat start to FY26, although it trimmed its dividend to fund expansion.

Fundie view

Lovisa is another name that Ausbil's Arden Jennings likes, whilst both Andrew Peros (also from Ausbil), and James Barker from Ellerston rated it a BUY on a May episode of Buy Hold Sell, with the former saying: 

Some of the channel checks that we've undertaken show that the store rollout program looks to be accelerating. They have got a new, fast, premium jewellery retail program running into the UK. They’ve got 15 stores they are about to roll out under the brand of Jewel. It is one of the highest quality retailers in the small cap space.

Candles

• Predominantly demand-side ⬜

View: Another very early ChartWatch ASX Scans post-correction entry here in late-April (which I am quite proud of 😉). I have to say ditto with 360, CDA, and CHC: Sure, there are a few very recent supply-side candles in the mix, but they’re so far minor in comparison to the broader short and long-term trend dynamics. The LOV chart is a picture of excess demand, and therefore, I remain comfortable backing the prevailing short and long-term uptrends. 

Watch for ⚠️: A close below the short-term uptrend ribbon would terminate the short-term uptrend.
