As equity investors, we're always aiming for better-than-average - otherwise we'd just buy a low-cost index ETF and be rid of the vagaries of individual stocks (but what fun would that be?!?!) No, playing the game of the market, we want - even need - stocks in our portfolio that deliver above-average performance, if for no other reason than to cover the laggards. With the new financial year about to roll over, it’s time to cast our eyes ahead and think about companies that can deliver for us in the coming 12 months. In this episode, Livewire's Chris Conway is joined by Yarra Capital Management's Marcus Ryan and ClearBridge Investment's Reece Birtles, who each pitch three stocks that they believe are poised for a big year ahead. That's right, it's six straight-up buys, with the guests talking passionately about the stocks in their portfolios. For good measure, they also share one stock they'll likely avoid over the next 12 months. This episode was filmed on Wednesday, 17th June 2026.
