Are there actually any stocks on NZ market worth buying?

I came second in a NZX competition because Powerbeat was one of my picks. Went to the NZX in queen street to receive my prize, i was only 15. I remember a few disgruntled competitors complaining I shouldn't have been able to choose that company.

I remember that one ..

I remember Powerbeat, was it the company claiming to have developed a car battery that would never go flat. What became of them?

Quite a few articles on them are just a google away. The company itself was still hanging on in there for many many years afterwards. In fact I seem to recall the factory/office was STILL there even a few years ago when you drive into Hamilton. Maybe it even still is there? I was always surprised when I drove past it.

Here is an article from 2021

ANZ don't appearing to be faring too badly .. priced right up there .. recording gains in a sea of stocks sailing back the other way


must be sentiment of some fairly good results expected ..


$18 a while back looks in retrospect to have been a good entry point outside the 2 years past, closer to the times of Govt's distributions restriction imposed on the sector

GTK for me. Significant momentum at the moment and excellent management team. A little pricey tho.

Can someone remind me a listed company that hasnt changed its name since inception....decades ago.

HLG - Oldest NZ registered company I believe too and one that has weathered the recent storms of covid etc particularly well (Probably jinxed their future with this comment) Glasson family on the board and have lots of skin in the game, think that makes a big difference.

I was going to post that earlier but I thought they had changed their legal name slightly......I thought it didn't used to include the word 'Glassons'. But I see on their certificate of incorporation it has been the current name since 1935.
