Consolidated Operations Group Limited (ASX: COG)
Consolidated Operations Group shares were among the best performing in the entire sector over the last year.
The company is Australia's leading finance broker aggregator and equipment leasing company for small to medium-sized businesses.
The company has two segments, its finance broker & aggregation business and its lending business.
Its share price is up almost 100% across the last year.
Is it time to buy, hold, or sell after this impressive gain?
Estimates from brokers indicate it still has more room to run.
Late last year, Morgans placed a price target of $2.63 on these financials shares and Bell Potter, a buy rating and $2.70 price target.
These targets indicate a further upside from yesterday's closing price of around 29% to 33%.
The cherry on top is the expected 3.8% to 4.5% dividend yield over the next two years.
Ma Financial Group (ASX: MAF)
This financials stock has enjoyed a rise of 85% over the last 12 months.
It is a diversified financial services company, specialising in managing alternative assets, lending, corporate advisory, and equities.
This has been driven by strong growth in assets under management (AUM).
Investors also reacted positively to the acquisition in late November of Hyperdome Town Centre shopping centre for $678.7 million.
Estimates from analysts indicate these ASX financials shares are now trading close to fair value.
TradingView has a 12 month price target of $11.27, which is roughly 25% higher than its current share price.
Navigator Global Investments (ASX: NGI)
Navigator Global Investments shares were another stock market winner in 2025.
Its share price is up 86% from this time last year.
The company believes its strong financial performance can continue, with management targeting to double its EBITDA to over US$200 million by 2030.
Estimates from the team at Morgan reinforce that these ASX financials shares can keep rising.
In December last year, the broker initiated coverage with a buy rating and $3.45 price target.
This indicates a further 15% upside.
