Five companies that have made their ASX debut this calendar year have more than tripled in value, Stockhead analysis has found.

They are: wireless internet provider Uniti Wireless (ASX:UWL), 3D body implant printer Osteopore (ASX:OSX),pot stock Ecofibre (ASX:EOF), buy-now-pay-later provider Splitit (ASX:SPT) and fund manager VGI Partners (ASX:VGI).

Uniti has fallen slightly in value since we last checked in, though at a return of 522 per cent you wouldn’t be too upset.

Osteopore had a phenomenal start to life on the ASX, rising 355 per cent in its first two days of listed life. And it has continued to climb: OSX shares are now sitting pretty at $1.02 a pop, a 410 per cent gain on the offer price of 20c.

Ecofibre, Splitit and VGI Partners have all more than tripled in value, and then there are four more companies which have doubled or more: bacteria-killing biotech Next Science (ASX:NXS), fintech Quickfee (ASX:QFE) and gym owner Viva Leisure (ASX:VVA).

This all means that, on average, a company listing in 2019 has gained 65 per cent. Not bad, considering there has been a significant reduction in initial capital raised via the ASX.

Candy Club (ASX:CLB) has the ignominious title of worst-performing IPO of the year, down 65 per cent, although one of its substantial shareholders is betting on the company to bounce back.

Here’s a performance rundown of this year’s ASX entrants:
