While most Aussies kicked off the year nursing a Champagne-induced headache and promising to “never drink again,” the ASX was already sprinting into 2025.
The benchmark ASX 200 index rose 4.6% in January, finishing at 8,532.3 points — that’s a pretty good flex for the first month of the year.
But while the index had a solid run, some stocks took it to the next level. Let’s take a look at the four best-performing ASX stocks in January 2025:
With a name like Boss, you’d expect them to dominate, and that’s exactly what they did—jumping a huge 36.2% in January.
Boss Energy is all about uranium, which—fun fact—is suddenly cool again. Turns out, nuclear energy is back in fashion, and uranium prices are soaring.
Emerald Resources is an explorer and developer of gold projects. Gold is always a crowd favourite when the economy feels a bit wobbly, and Emerald Resources cashed in on the action, soaring 33% in January.
So it might be time to dust off that metal detector…
Liontown Resources is an Australia-based battery metals exploration and development company. The big boost for Liontown Resources came after the lithium miner dropped its second-quarter update.
Production of spodumene concentrate (aka the good stuff used in EV batteries) jumped 215% quarter-on-quarter. Revenue? A casual 674% surge to $89.8 million.
Oh, and they actually made money—reporting $16.7 million in net cash from operating activities.
While the miners were off digging for treasure, Insignia Financial was out here quietly stacking wins in the finance world.
But their share price spike wasn’t because the wealth managers were delivering out-of-the-ordinary results. Nope - it’s because Insignia Financial Ltd is currently in the middle of a bidding war between CC Capital Partners and Bain Capital.
Insignia received a $4.00 cash per share offer in December, which was a 17.6% premium to its closing price pre offer. But this has jumped to more than $4.60 at the latest offer.
Insignia's board is considering the offers, but there's no guarantee that a deal will happen
