Best Resource for ASX Listed Companies

[Myth465]

Seems like the available tools online pale in reference to the US.

Does anyone have a good website they use for financials.

Intelligent Investor Share Advisor provides data (ASX 200) but I think this is only for paying members and its fairly limited. They also have a free app http://stocklight.intelligentinvestor.com.au/ which is a quick n dirty stock filter

 

No website that Im aware of that lists 5-10 yr data like Gurufocus.com. Maybe brokers like Commsec and Etrade.com.au but again not as reliable as going straight to the source (Annual reports).

thanks one foot. They run a very good Aussie based podcast as well.

Here is a link. I am thinking it might be worthwhile to just pay for a service. I would like a few good screens, and 5-10 year financial data.

The goal for me is to find some fully franked shares to hold over the long term.

 

Taxes here are bloody high...

The other day I just joined www.topstocks.com.au, it is a forum like CoBF, I saw a post about Sterihealth, which is only a $20M company.

I hate to say it but the ASX website is the one I keep using.  In general it is not user friendly and Aussie accounting presentations are hard to get used to, but its all there in conjunction with the company websites.  I also find it hard to get used to the half year reporting.  I guess I'm just much more reluctant to leave the comfort of North America than many here.

I've been a member for several years. I find that they are very thorough with the subset of stocks that they do cover. Its a good way to learn about various quality Aussie businesses like Woolworths, Cochlear, CSL.

 

They also manage 2 model portfolios, Growth and Income, good place to get some ideas.  There is also a subsidiary free site http://www.incomeinvestor.com.au/.

@ randomep - WIll join and take a look. Sterihealth is an interesting find. I read bits and pieces of the 10k yesterday. Here are my comments.

Great earnings and cash flow - PE of 6, even better CF number. Only issue is debt - Debt being $24 million makes the PE more like 10-12 on the whole entity. The business appears very stable and cant be outsourced. Management owns 44% which is interesting and there is significant related party transactions. Growth has been flat the last 5 years, share price has been flat the last 5 years. You really have to figure out what they are doing with Capex, will the top line grow, and will they pay off debt. I will keep watching.

 

@ One Foot I have really enjoyed the podcast and will keep listening. May eventually join as well. I want to start investing capital in AUS and they seem like a good starting resource.

 

@ All - Morningstar is actually quite good and is free - I just registered and its very detailed.

After playing around a bit more, I would stay Morningstar is very good and even has good screens. Its worth checking out.
