  6. Check in on your investment. Congratulations, you own a part of Hybe. Optimise your portfolio by tracking how your stock — and even the business — performs with an eye on the long term.

Select a company to learn more about what it does and how its stock performs, including market capitalisation, the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio and dividend yield.
