Buy Hold Sell: 5 of your most popular ASX stocks (and 2 big buys)
We’ve crunched the numbers from Livewire Markets and Market Index to uncover the most-searched ASX stocks over the past 12 months, and now it’s time to put them under the microscope.
As you'd expect, big-name favourites lead the pack. But behind the ticker symbols are stories full of surprises, challenges, and potential - and that’s where the real insight begins.
Joining guest host Grady Wulff are two of the sharpest (and most entertaining) minds in the market: Henry Jennings from Marcus Today and James Gerrish from Market Matters.
Together, they weigh in on what’s driving investor interest and whether these companies still have room to run.
And to top it off, Henry and James each reveal one innovative stock they believe could make serious waves in FY26.
It’s fast, it’s fun, and it’s not to be missed.

Buy Hold Sell: 5 ASX disruptors taking on the giants
While the top end of town tends to steal the spotlight, real innovation often happens in the small and mid-cap space. From nimble fintech redefining how we bank to next-gen healthcare firms disrupting traditional delivery models to tech-savvy logistics players streamlining operations, there’s a new wave of challengers taking on the incumbents.
These companies may not yet be household names but many are leveraging technology, unique business models, or sharp customer focus to punch well above their weight. And in a market where growth is increasingly hard to come by, they offer investors a compelling, if sometimes risky, alternative.
So, how do you sort the genuine disruptors from the hype machines? Which companies have the vision, execution, and balance sheets to go the distance, and which are more likely to fizzle out?
Joining Livewire's Chris Conway to break it all down are Emanuel Datt from Datt Capital and Michael Steele from Yarra Capital. Together, they put three emerging challengers under the microscope.
For good measure, they also name their favourite disruptor they are backing right now.

Buy Hold Sell: Diamonds in the rough - 5 ASX small cap standouts
Equity investors, quite rightly, are looking beyond large caps for opportunity. There's only so much Commonwealth Bank and Magnificent 7 you can have in a portfolio before things start to look top-heavy.
But moving down the market cap spectrum does not have to equal higher risk - not if you know where to look.
Whilst small-cap names are often under-researched and overlooked, this can create opportunities for outsized returns. The key is to have a process for unearthing the mispriced or underappreciated gems.
So, in this episode, Datt Capital’s Emanuel Datt and Yarra Capital’s Michael Steele share what they are looking for when mining the small-cap space, before putting their method to the test by analysing three small-cap names.
For good measure, they each share a diamond in the rough small cap that they are backing right now.
