FY25 Double Baggers: The ASX 200 Shares That Turned $1 into $2+

The Australian market delivered a solid performance in FY25, with the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) posting gains of nearly 10% — and total returns pushing even higher thanks to dividends. But while broad market performance was steady, a few standout companies went above and beyond, delivering 100%+ returns over the financial year. These shares, often called “double baggers,” turned $1 into more than $2 in just 12 months.

From soaring gold prices to tech and healthcare transformations, several sectors powered exceptional returns. Below, we’ve rounded up nine ASX 200 companies that doubled investors’ money in FY25 and what may have driven their performance.

1. Regis Resources Ltd (ASX: RRL) – 150% Gain

Regis Resources emerged as a top performer, tripling investor expectations. The company likely benefited from the sharp uptrend in gold prices during FY25 — a tailwind for most producers in the space. As margins widened, so did investor optimism.

2. Genesis Minerals Ltd (ASX: GMD) – 145% Gain

Another gold miner in the spotlight, Genesis Minerals, posted stunning gains. Strategic developments, cost controls, and consistent resource expansion likely played a part in its explosive rise.

3. Sigma Healthcare Ltd (ASX: SIG) – 135% Gain

Sigma’s performance was bolstered by its headline-making merger with Chemist Warehouse. This move helped the company reposition itself as a major player in the pharmaceutical retail market and spurred a surge in investor confidence.

4. Temple & Webster Group Ltd (ASX: TPW) – 127% Gain

Despite broader retail sector volatility, Temple & Webster delivered big. A combination of strong e-commerce momentum and scalable operations likely helped it outpace peers and deliver more than double returns to shareholders.

5. Evolution Mining Ltd (ASX: EVN) – 123% Gain

Evolution Mining joined the gold-stock rally club with a 123% return. Gold’s upward march, combined with effective cost management and potential production increases, seemed to fuel the company’s outperformance.

6. Technology One Ltd (ASX: TNE) – 121% Gain

Tech might be volatile, but Technology One proved that long-term innovation can deliver. The company’s sustained growth in enterprise software and robust financials helped it generate outstanding shareholder value.

7. Generation Development Group Ltd (ASX: GDG) – 114% Gain

This smaller financial services firm impressed with strong growth in investment and retirement solutions. A focus on niche market leadership and product demand likely helped propel its share price to new highs.

8. Zip Co Ltd (ASX: ZIP) – 110% Gain

Zip Co staged a comeback after a challenging few years. The pivot from hyper-growth to profitability and disciplined capital use seems to have resonated with the market, rewarding patient investors.

9. Spartan Resources Ltd (ASX: SPR) – 101.5% Gain

Rounding off the list, Spartan Resources surged ahead in its final ASX 200 appearance before being acquired. With gold on a tear, and acquisition activity heating up, the company delivered a strong closing chapter for shareholders.

What Can Investors Learn From These Double Baggers?

Many of these names share some key themes: exposure to rising commodity prices (especially gold), strategic mergers or acquisitions, or operational improvements that reignited investor faith. Importantly, these weren’t all high-risk penny stocks — they were part of the ASX 200, underlining that solid gains can be found even within blue-chip territory when the timing and strategy align.

Final Thoughts

Doubling your money in a year is rare — and incredibly rewarding. But it’s important to remember that past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Many of these stocks were boosted by specific circumstances — whether it was a macro tailwind like commodity pricing or one-off corporate moves.

At Pristine Gaze, we aim to help investors identify companies with strong potential before the crowd catches on — but always with risk awareness in mind.
