Buy Hold Sell: 5 ASX names with strong balance sheets (and 2 big buys)

Buy Hold Sell, by Livewire Markets

No matter which factor you like, clear-cut winners are hard to find. Why? Because quality is rarely cheap and value can be anything but. So in this episode, we're going to keep it simple by running the ruler over five ASX names with strong balance sheets.

These are companies that boast robust financial foundations: low debt, consistent cash flows, and disciplined capital management.

Such businesses typically not only weather economic storms but often emerge stronger on the other side. But that does not mean they are automatic 'buys' if the valuation doesn't stack up.

Applying their respective lenses are Dougal Maple-Brown from Maple-Brown Abbott, and Hamish FitzSimons from AllianceBernstein.

For good measure, they also share one ASX name that they like right now.
