Looking for the best performing stocks in Australia? We update this guide every month with the 10 top performing stocks on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) over the prior month. We also show performance data for the last 1-year and 5-year periods.

How did we get this list?

We scan the performance data of all ASX-listed stocks to find the 10 best performing each month. Only stocks with market capitalisations of more than $500 million are included, ensuring we don't include highly volatile penny stocks.

Remember, past performance is no guarantee of future success. A stock performing strongly this month might decline in the future. Always do careful research and look at your own individual investment strategy to decide which stock is right for you.

Finder Score for share trading platforms

We've scored over 30 share trading platforms assessing them for their core features, fees, customer experience and accessibility. Our experts give each platform a score out of 10.

Read the full methodology

Important: The standard brokerage fee displayed is the trade cost for new customers to purchase $1,000 of either Australian or US shares. Where a platform charges different fees for both US and Australian shares we show the lower of the two. Where both CHESS sponsored and custodian shares are offered, we display the cheapest option.

Disclaimer: This information should not be interpreted as an endorsement of futures, stocks, ETFs, CFDs, options or any specific provider, service or offering. It should not be relied upon as investment advice or construed as providing recommendations of any kind. Futures, stocks, ETFs and options trading involves substantial risk of loss and therefore are not appropriate for all investors. Trading CFDs and forex on leverage comes with a higher risk of losing money rapidly. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Consider your own circumstances, and obtain your own advice, before making any trades. Read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Target Market Determination (TMD) for the product on the provider's website.
