• These ASX 200 stocks are tipped to rise up to 71% – Expert

    Man looking happy and excited as he looks at his mobile phone.

    After falling significantly over the last 12 months, there could be a rebound coming for S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) stocks Light & Wonder Inc (ASX: LNW) and HUB24 Ltd (ASX: HUB). 

    Both have fallen by more than 20% over the last year; however, new analysis from Bell Potter suggests they could offer value right now. 

    Here’s what the broker had to say. 

    Light & Wonder a monster discount

    Light & Wonder develops technology-based products and services, along with associated content.

    In yesterday’s report, the team at Bell Potter highlighted that conditions may be favourable for the company over the next 12 months. 

    The American Gaming Association reported an overall improvement in conditions for gaming operators and suppliers. Notably, 63% of the surveyed gaming executives expected growth in capital investment over the next 6-12 months, a substantial increase on prior surveys. Further, a net positive of 60% and 20% of Suppliers expected growth in replacement and expansion sales, respectively. Overall, these results leave us less concerned with operator capex spend in CY26.

    The broker believes the ASX 200 stock offers compelling value at 9 times EV/EBIT(A), given its growth metrics.

    Hub24 a compelling option 

    Hub24 is a diversified financial services business. The company’s core platform segment develops and provides an administrative services platform to financial advisers, stockbrokers, accountants, and their clients.

    Bell Potter provided fresh guidance on the company after it released quarterly results yesterday. 

    As reported by The Motley Fool team, the company announced record net inflows of $18.9 billion in FY26, up 20% on the prior comparable period (pcp), and total funds under administration (FUA) hitting $164.3 billion, up 20% on pcp.

    Overall, Bell Potter said HUB24 delivered a solid quarter, even though growth slowed a little.

    The underlying business remains healthy, superannuation growth is improving, and Bell Potter still sees HUB24 as being on track for solid long-term growth.

    Class is improving, with superannuation net inflows growing as a share, and boosting the result. The addition of retirement income streams (TAL) should support this trend and the result leaves FY27 target parts intact.

    How much upside is there for these ASX 200 stocks?

    In yesterday’s reports, the team at Bell Potter retained its buy recommendations for both ASX 200 stocks. 

    The broker has a price target of $110 for Hub24 shares. 

    This indicates an upside potential of just over 35% for the ASX 200 stock. 

    Meanwhile, it has a price target of $190 on Light & Wonder shares. 

    This indicates an upside of nearly 72% for the gaming company.

  • Brazilian Rare Earths share price rises as Alurion IPO raises $50 million

    A group of young ASX investors sitting around a laptop with an older lady standing behind them explaining how investing works.

    The Brazilian Rare Earths Ltd (ASX: BRE) share price is in focus after announcing Alurion Resources’ IPO successfully raised $50 million, exceeding maximum subscription, with Brazilian Rare Earths retaining a 16% stake in the newly listed company.

    What did Brazilian Rare Earths report?

    • Alurion Resources IPO raised the maximum A$50 million, issuing 47,619,048 new shares at A$1.05 each
    • Alurion’s implied equity value post-IPO is A$256 million
    • Brazilian Rare Earths retains a strategic holding of 39 million Alurion shares, or roughly 16%, valued at A$41 million
    • Alurion directors and management subscribed for over A$4.5 million worth of shares
    • Admission to the ASX is expected on 30 July 2026, trading from 3 August 2026 under code ‘ALU’

    What else do investors need to know?

    Alurion’s strong IPO demand included priority access for eligible Brazilian Rare Earths shareholders, and capped the offer at its maximum subscription. This financial boost allows Alurion to pursue an expanded two-year development program at the Amargosa Bauxite-Gallium Project, funding activities like land procurement, environmental work, and exploration.

    Following shareholder approval for the Demerger, Brazilian Rare Earths can now narrow its focus to advancing its core rare earth and critical minerals assets. The upcoming Monte Alto Scoping Study in August 2026 is cited as Brazilian Rare Earths’ next key milestone.

    What did Brazilian Rare Earths management say?

    Managing Director and CEO Bernardo da Veiga said:

    Investor demand exceeding the A$50 million maximum, following 99.94% shareholder approval, highlights the strong market and shareholder support for the Alurion Resources demerger… For BRE, this successful outcome sharpens our own focus. We can now direct our full attention and capital toward advancing our important rare earth and critical mineral province, with the Monte Alto Scoping Study due in August 2026 standing as our next major catalyst.

    What’s next for Brazilian Rare Earths?

    With the Alurion IPO completed, Brazilian Rare Earths plans to concentrate on advancing its flagship Monte Alto project and the broader Brazilian rare earths province. The company now enjoys a stronger financial position and a strategic holding in Alurion, keeping exposure to the bauxite-gallium sector without funding dilution.

    Investors can expect further operational updates from Brazilian Rare Earths as it progresses its project pipeline, with upcoming news anticipated from the Monte Alto Scoping Study.

    Over the past 12 months, Brazilian Rare Earths shares have risen 38%, outperforming the All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO), which is flat over the same period.

  • Regal Partners: Profit doubles and FUM hits record high

    Three people in a corporate office pour over a tablet, ready to invest.

    The Regal Partners Ltd (ASX: REG) share price is in focus today after the company reported preliminary 1H26 results, with normalised NPAT expected to double to at least $90 million and record net FUM inflows of over $1.3 billion for the half.

    What did Regal Partners report?

    • Normalised NPAT for 1H26 expected to be at least $90 million, up about 100% on 1H25
    • Management fees for 1H26 anticipated at least $110 million
    • Performance fees estimated to reach at least $115 million for 1H26
    • Funds under management (FUM) grew 6% in the June quarter to approximately $21.4 billion
    • Net FUM inflows hit a record $0.9 billion for the quarter, over $1.3 billion for the half

    What else do investors need to know?

    Regal Partners attributed strong performance fees to its PM Capital global strategy and robust flows across hedge funds, resources, and royalty strategies. The June quarter included the first close of the Taurus Mining Finance Fund III, raising around US$0.7 billion, contributing significantly to net inflows.

    Partially offsetting these gains was the reduction in water entitlement assets under management, relating to the Commonwealth Government’s water buy-back program, which saw about $0.5 billion realised for institutional investors. Preliminary figures remain subject to final reviews and audit.

    What’s next for Regal Partners?

    The company will release its full 1H26 results on 24 August 2026 and remains focused on growing assets across its diverse investment strategies. Management flagged continued innovation in alternative investments and ongoing commitment to expanding Regal’s offering for institutional, family office, and private investors.

    Investors can expect more details on outlook and strategy, as well as further updates on FUM and performance, at the official half-year results presentation.

    Regal Partners share price snapshot

    Over the past 12 months, Regal Partners shares have risen 7%, outperforming the All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO), which is flat over the same period.
