Coffee Microcaps March 2025 Newsletter
Volatile Times
Hi Everyone
The general feeling from most microcap fund managers and investors was that the recent February reporting season was one of the most volatile for many a year. Now, there are always big swings in response to numbers which are better or worse than the market expects, but even allowing for that, the swings we saw this season were more pronounced than usual. The turbulence caused by the Trump administration policy announcements over the top of results, I think, had a role to play in this enhanced volatility. However, by March, things do seem to be settling down.
When all was said and done, February saw the S&P Emerging Companies Index TR down 1.96% after an end-of-month sag took it into negative territory after holding its head above water through most of the reporting season. The large-cap end of the down faired slightly worse, down 3.79% for the S&P ASX 200 Index TR. As they say, misery loves company.
Upcoming Coffee Microcaps Zoom Webinar Events
For anyone who doesn’t know, I regularly host presentations from ASX Microcap companies via Zoom Webinars. Two or four companies usually present Thursday mornings from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. AEDT Sydney time.
I thank Raas Research for sponsoring all the Coffee Microcaps Virtual events.
The ASX Microcap companies that present generally have the following four criteria.

Content Recommendation
As part of this newsletter, I also want to highlight some good content worth sharing with my subscribers.
I wanted to share this recent article from the Australian Financial Review (not behind a paywall). The contributors talk about the current state of small and microcap markets, the impact of the ETFs, and the MySuper legislation benchmarks having on this end of the market. I am not in complete agreement with the article; I am glad, though, to see that the media is picking up the challenges being faced by the sector, and hopefully, by shining more light on it, we will see some positive initiatives by the ASX, ASIC and government more broadly.
