Welcome back to The Stock Scoop, the community with fresh takes on the latest market moves, exclusive CEO interviews and insights that help investors stay one step ahead. If you're new here - welcome. You’ve joined a growing group that knows staying informed is the first step to investing smarter.

The year is winding down, but markets aren't
As 2025 draws to a close, the ASX has delivered a stronger performance than many expected. Steadying interest rates and a revived appetite for growth stocks helped restore confidence, prompting investors to shift focus towards smaller and mid-cap names as economic conditions stabilised.

Strategic commodities have also emerged as a key driver of market strength. Leading lithium, rare earth and critical metals stocks have performed well recently, highlighting the market’s renewed emphasis on resources critical to the global energy transition.

🔔 New stocks are debuting as IPOs fire up
After a quiet 2024, the IPO window has finally reopened. Investor activity has turned a corner, with more capital flowing into new listings - especially across tech, clean energy and critical minerals. It’s been a busy IPO market in 2025, and TSN has been covering each new stock: click here to learn about new ASX stocks

Best-performing IPOs of 2025
While performance always shifts, three names have stood out with strong gains:
GemLife Communities Group (ASX:GLF): $1.9 billion, +25% since listing in July.
Robex Resources (ASX:RXR): $366 million, +58% since listing in June.
Ballard Mining (ASX:BM1): $147 million, +166% since listing in July.

Even in a crowded market, the right themes and companies cut through. Elsewhere, bigger stocks have been grabbing attention, but for the wrong reasons:
CBA shares fall as competition rises
DroneShield stock drop defence
CSL hit with low vax rates

Amid new stocks debuting, and established companies stumbling, it's a reminder that performance matters more than attention. Focusing on fundamentals separates investors from spectators.
