About this episode

This episode explores the often-overlooked mining services sector in Australia and its performance compared to the Small Ordinaries Index.

Mining services companies don’t own the mines - but they drill, haul, maintain, build and keep Australia’s mining industry running. And while most beginners overlook this part of the market, the sector has quietly outperformed the Small Ordinaries Index since 2021. In this episode, I speak with Issam Eid from RaaS Research to unpack why mining services have done so well, what drives the winners, and how beginners can analyse this often‑ignored corner of the ASX.
