As the ASX200 hovers near the 8,000-point mark, the market remains dynamic with shifts influenced by recent tariff announcements and sector performance.

Berkeley Energia (ASX:BKY)
Emphasizing exploration in Spain, Berkeley Energia Limited (ASX:BKY) stands with a market cap of A$258.56 million. Despite being a pre-revenue entity, Berkeley has turned profitable, notching a net income of A$0.83 million for the half-year ended December 2024. With a seasoned management team and no debt, Berkeley remains financially robust.
Helloworld Travel (ASX:HLO)
Operating primarily in Australia and New Zealand, Helloworld Travel Limited (ASX:HLO), with a market cap of A$237.71 million, benefits from substantial revenue streams despite a recent earnings decline. The company is financially sound with a strong asset base and no debt. However, its 7.53% dividend yield poses sustainability questions. Trading at a relatively low price-to-earnings ratio, future growth potential appears significant.
Imugene (ASX:IMU)
An Australian clinical-stage company, Imugene Limited (ASX:IMU) is pioneering immunotherapies with a market cap of A$194.14 million. Despite being pre-revenue and recording a net loss, Imugene's financial structure shows assets exceeding liabilities, fortified by strategic leadership with a new CFO onboard. Recent index movements and limited shareholder dilution reinforce its current positioning.
