Buy Hold Sell: 7 ex-20 stocks with strong balance sheets

Hunting for the next breakout small or mid-cap stock isn’t about chasing headlines or hype – it’s about backing gritty, cash-generating companies with rock-solid balance sheets and management teams bold enough to make smart decisions without constantly rattling the tin.

In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, Livewire’s Vishal Teckchandani puts five high-potential ASX ex-20 stocks under the microscope with David Allingham from Eley Griffiths and Marcus Burns from Spheria – spanning homegrown global exporters to local names with serious staying power – to uncover what truly separates the standouts from the rest.

Plus, each fundie reveals their top mid-cap pick – a compelling business flying under the radar that not only ticks all the boxes, but has a clear strategy to keep delivering growth.
