The S&P/ASX 300 Index (ASX: XKO) has gained more than 17% over the past year, but the three ASX 300 shares we'll look at below have all surged by far more.
Well, two of them have.
The third company only began trading on the ASX on 23 September after being spun off from what's now its sister company. But this stock has also raced ahead of the benchmark since listing as its own entity.
Despite that strong outperformance, top brokers forecast more gains ahead for all three of these ASX 300 stocks.
So, which companies just got upgrades?
