Buy, hold, sell: Brainchip, CAR Group, and Endeavour shares

Looking for ASX shares to buy after recent market weakness?

Well, if you are, let’s see what analysts are saying about the popular shares in this article, courtesy of The Bull.

Are they buys, holds, or sells? Let’s find out:

Brainchip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN)

The team at Peak Asset Management has named this struggling semiconductor company as a sell this week.

It highlights that the small cap is battling against AI giants like Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) in an intensively competitive sector. It said:

BrainChip is a commercial producer of neuromorphic artificial intelligence (AI). The company operates across Australia, the US and Europe and had a market capitalisation of about $A349.17 million during trading on March 12. The broader AI hardware landscape is increasingly dominated by big players, such as Nvidia.

The AI sector is intensively competitive. The company substantially lifted revenue in full year 2025, but reported a loss from continuing operations after tax. The shares have fallen from 24.5 cents on October 9, 2025 to trade at 14 cents on March 12. Other stocks appeal more at this stage of the cycle.

CAR Group Limited (ASX: CAR)

Over at Baker Young, its analysts are positive on this auto listings company.

It highlights that its shares have fallen heavily recently amid AI disruption concerns. However, the broker believes this has created a buying opportunity and has named it as a buy this week. It said:

This online automotive marketplace operator posted stronger-than-expected first half results for 2026. It grew revenue by 13 per cent and reported EBITDA by 11 per cent. Recent sector-wide selling driven largely by concerns around potential artificial intelligence (AI) disruption has weighed on valuations. However, we believe CAR’s trusted brands, established distribution network and strong dealer relationships position it well to integrate AI tools into its services rather than be disrupted by them.

Over time, AI could enhance listing quality, pricing transparency and advertising effectiveness across its platforms. Given the company’s strong market position, attractive margins and long runway for digital automotive marketplace growth across several geographies, we view recent price weakness as an opportunity to accumulate a high quality technology-enabled marketplace at a more reasonable valuation.

Endeavour Group Ltd (ASX: EDV)

Finally, Baker Young has been looking at drinks giant Endeavour. It felt that the Dan Murphy’s owner delivered a solid half-year result last month.

However, it isn’t enough for a buy rating just yet. The broker has put a hold rating on its shares instead. It said:

The drinks and hotels operator delivered solid first half results for fiscal year 2026. Hotel sales increased by 4.4 per cent and total retail sales increased by 0.2 per cent. Hotel sales growth in the first seven weeks of the second half of fiscal year 2026 was up 4.5 per cent followed by 1.3 per cent for retail sales.

The company is investing heavily in price competition to support volumes, which will likely pressure margins in the near term. While it may be too early to call a full recovery, we believe risks are broadly balanced and we’re comfortable maintaining our position ahead of the strategic update.
