Suddenly, everyone is hunting quality stocks that can withstand whatever is being thrown at them by the economy and by the market.

But what exactly is quality? Well, it has many faces, but companies with strong financial metrics, like high return on equity and strong competitive advantages, are high on the list.

In this episode they analyse five ASX names that fit the bill and each outline the bull case on one company they believe is set to thrive.

Please note this episode was filmed on 7 May 2025.
