Whether you’re an experienced investor or just starting out, identifying stocks with the potential for significant long-term growth is both an art and a science. Growth stocks have historically been some of the biggest wealth creators in the market, but finding the right ones requires careful analysis, patience, and let's face it, a bit of intuition. Whilst most growth stocks will have strong metrics, like revenue and earnings growth and improving earnings per share, a host of less tangible factors help separate the great from the good. How strong is the company's competitive advantage, for example? How good is the management team? And how innovative or disruptive is the company - and does it even need to be? In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, David Wilson from First Sentier Investors and Joe McCarthy from Elston Asset Management join Livewire's Hans Lee to share their process for identifying growth stocks, the key metrics they focus on, and the red flags that would see them steer away from opportunities. Not content with just theorising however, they each share their top ASX growth stock for 2025. Note: This episode was recorded on Wednesday 30 January 2024.
