Many ASX stocks fell during the month of March as global conflict weighed heavily on sentiment.
This has prompted plenty of coverage from the team at The Motley Fool about where investors should be scooping up value shares.
In addition to plenty of shares that may have been oversold during March, there are also ASX stocks that ignored broader market negativity and powered ahead.
Let's look at three that have flown higher in 2026 despite broader volatility.

4DMedical Ltd (ASX: 4DX)
For those who missed it, 4DX Medical was one of the best ASX stocks to own in 2025.
It is a medical technology company working in the field of respiratory imaging and ventilation analysis in the treatment of lung and respiratory diseases.
The company's non-invasive lung imaging technology emanates from research work undertaken at Monash University.
It is the first FDA-cleared respiratory imaging solution that uses mathematical models and algorithms to convert sequences of X-ray images into four-dimensional quantitative data.
In the last 12 months, this ASX stock has risen 2,000%.
Yes, you read that right.
While this rapid pace has slowed, it has still enjoyed a 39% rise year to date.
For context, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is up just 2.8% in the same period.
So, where to now for this ASX stock?
Many holders would be considering profit-taking, while those on the outside looking in might have missed the boat.
The Motley Fool's Samantha Menzies dove into this question recently, pointing out the gamble that some investors might be taking.
It's possible this runaway train is now rising more on hype and hope rather than concrete earnings.
Analysts forecasts via TradingView indicate it is now above fair value by approximately 34%.
PLS Group Ltd (ASX: PLS)
PLS is an Australian lithium-tantalum producer positioning itself at the forefront of the rapidly growing global lithium industry.
While it hasn't been all smooth sailing, PLS shares are up 25% year to date and 283% in the last 12 months.
Global lithium prices have been driving this growth, along with its dominant market position here in Australia.
These drivers could continue to benefit this ASX 200 stock in the long term.
However, 17 analyst forecasts via TradingView indicate that right now, it is trading close to fair value.
Resolute Mining Ltd (ASX: RSG)
Resolute Mining is an Australia-based gold producer.
Like most gold stocks, it rallied throughout 2025.
But while many other companies in the sector have fallen this year, Resolute Mining shares have continued to climb a further 17% in 2026.
Unlike the previous ASX stocks mentioned, experts think Resolute Mining shares can continue to climb.
7 analysts via TradingView have an average one-year price target of $2.13.
This suggests a potential upside of 47% from current levels.
