Australia’s largest listed companies — banks, miners, healthcare, tech, energy and more — organised by GICS sector with market-cap tags. Educational reference, not a buy list. (REITs are on the dedicated REITs page.)
Stocks listed here are provided for research and convenience only. This is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any specific stock. Coverage focuses on the larger, more liquid ASX 200 names — the constituent set changes quarterly. Always read the latest annual report, check debt, cash flow and franking history, and consult a licensed Australian adviser before investing.
Stocks are grouped by the 11 GICS sectors the ASX itself uses, minus Real Estate (we cover A-REITs separately on the REITs page). Each card shows the ASX ticker, market-cap band (Mega = $50B+, Large = $10B–$50B, Mid = $2B–$10B, Small = under $2B), the company name and a one-line description of what they actually do.
The Outback Investor Method filters this universe through four quality screens (Greenblatt 35% / Graham 25% / Siegel 25% / Bazin 15%). We look for businesses profitable for at least the last 3 years (ideally 5), low debt-to-EBITDA (under 2× ideal, up to 3× acceptable), listed for at least 3 years (5 ideal), with 100% tag-along rights. Members get the OIM-scored shortlist.
