National Australia Bank (ASX: NAB)- Business Banking Leverage, Deposit Power, and a Re-rating Setup into FY26–FY27

Dec 30, 2025

Proactive Equities Team

We believe National Australia Bank (ASX: NAB) is entering a structurally more attractive phase of its earnings cycle, one that the market is only partially pricing. FY25 confirms that NAB has completed a difficult multi-year transition from remediation-heavy execution towards balance-sheet-led growth, operational leverage, and disciplined capital deployment. In our view, National Australia Bank is no longer just a “solid major bank.” It is increasingly a business-banking-centric compounder, with improving margin resilience, strengthening deposit mix, stabilising asset quality, and credible technology-driven productivity optionality.

CSL (ASX:CSL): Structural Quality Re-Asserted

Dec 30, 2025

Proactive Equities Team

We believe CSL Limited (ASX: CSL) remains one of the highest-quality global healthcare franchises listed on the ASX, with FY25 marking a clear re-acceleration in earnings quality, cash flow conversion, and strategic clarity. While the share price has periodically struggled to reflect this underlying strength, we view CSL as misunderstood rather than mis-executing.

Collins Foods (ASX: CKF): Why We Think CKF Is Entering Its Strongest Earnings Cycle Since Pre-COVID

Dec 30, 2025

Proactive Equities Team

We believe Collins Foods (ASX: CKF) is entering a multi-year earnings recovery cycle anchored by margin repair in Australia, operational rejuvenation in Europe, clear line-of-sight to double-digit EBITDA growth, and an improving balance sheet that gives management options rather than constraints. The HY26 results demonstrate that CKF is moving decisively out of the inflation shock period that suppressed margins and elevated operating costs between 2022–2024. With commodity and utilities inflation easing, labour efficiencies improving, and price/mix still resilient, we see structural tailwinds forming beneath the company’s operating base.

silver prices soaring and how to benefit on asx

Why silver prices keep soaring, and how you can benefit from it on the ASX?

Dec 30, 2025

Proactive Equities Team

Silver has quietly moved into a powerful uptrend, and it’s not happening by accident. The metal is being pulled in two directions at once, as a financial haven and as an industrial workhorse. For ASX investors, this creates an opportunity. Exposure comes through producers, developers, and explorers whose revenues and valuations tend to rise as silver prices strengthen, offering leverage to a market driven by both fear and future-focused demand.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) - Why We See Structural Strength in Australia’s Premium Bank

Dec 29, 2025

Proactive Equities Team

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) remains the undisputed heavyweight of the Australian financial system, dominant in retail banking, advantaged by scale, and well-positioned to monetise the next phase of household re-leveraging as rates peak and credit growth stabilises. Our view is simple: CBA’s franchise resilience is undervalued. While the macro backdrop remains mixed and competition in mortgages remains intense, the bank continues to deliver sector-leading returns, defend margin leadership, and maintain one of the strongest balance sheets globally.

LaserBond (ASX: LBL)- Engineered for Investors Seeking Durable Industrial Growth Exposure

Dec 19, 2025

Proactive Equities Team

LaserBond (ASX: LBL) has entered a structurally stronger period after FY25 delivered clear evidence of operating leverage, improved manufacturing efficiencies, and accelerating adoption of its surface-engineered technologies across mining, energy, defence, and agricultural markets. With its patented LaserBond® cladding and composite coating systems now demonstrating superior lifecycle economics versus traditional wear-resistance methods, the company is positioned as a high-margin engineering solutions provider rather than a cyclical industrial.
