Stock Tips: Yellowcake is among this week's servings
It's no easy gig analysing share prices and company performance but somebody's got to do it. Every week two experts from our Share Tips columnist pool give us their recommendations.
Mark Goulopoulos – Cumulus Wealth
BUY
Paladin Energy (ASX:PDN)
Namibia-based uranium producer offering quality exposure to a commodity facing growing supply deficits over the coming years.
Lion Selection Group (ASX:LSX)
Listed investment company trading below its NTA, with a strong track record of backing successful small-cap resource companies.
HOLD
Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS)
A well-funded lithium producer likely to withstand the current downturn, though lithium demand and price remains volatile.
Goodman Group (ASX:GMG)
High-quality, well-capitalised property developer with a strong project pipeline including data centres, though valuation appears full.
SELL
Lovisa Holdings (ASX:LOV)
Recent share price rally presents an exit point amid rising competition in Australia and concerns around slowing like-for-like sales.
Nufarm (ASX:NUF)
Facing operational headwinds and burdened by a stretched balance sheet, with limited visibility on a recovery.
David Thang – Sequoia Wealth
BUY
Metcash (ASX:MTS)
The merger of hardware brands under a single management structure is expected to deliver operational efficiencies. Growth in the food segment is evident, particularly from Superior Foods.
James Hardie (ASX:JHX)
Double-digit profit margin is reflective of strong cost control and operational discipline. A solid balance sheet and low leverage indicate financial stability and flexibility for future growth.
HOLD
Breville (ASX:BRG)
Expanding its manufacturing footprint beyond China to countries like Mexico, Indonesia and Cambodia. This should reduce future tariff risks and strengthen supply chain resilience.
Zip Co (ASX:ZIP)
US Total Transaction Value (TTV) grew 40 per cent over the past year. Credit loss rates remain low below 1.5%. Earnings have been upgraded for the current financial year.
SELL
Perpetual (ASX:PPT)
The termination of the KKR deal has left Perpetual with significant debt and a strained balance sheet. Capital is better deployed elsewhere.
IDP Education (ASX:IEL)
Deteriorating conditions across the UK, Australia, Canada and US due to restrictive immigration and student visa policies has led to sharply lower demand and heightened uncertainty to earnings.
