S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares are deeply in the red, down 1.9% to 8,621.6 points on Thursday.

Amid ongoing market weakness, here are three fresh buy, hold, and sell calls from the experts.

Deep Yellow Ltd (ASX: DYL)

The Deep Yellow share price is $1.15, down 2.1% today and down 42% over 12 months. 

Morgans has a speculative buy call on this ASX 200 uranium share. 

The broker said: 

FID deferral looks increasingly justified — The decision to defer Tumas has coincided with a ~20% increase in long-term uranium prices and a more favourable contracting environment, strengthening the economics of project development.

Tumas is increasingly de-risked ahead of 4Q26 FID — Detailed engineering is nearing 80% completion, bulk earthworks are complete, key infrastructure agreements are in place, and financing work continues to advance.

A rare long-life uranium asset — With a 118.2Mlb U3O8 Mineral Resource, targeted production of 3.6Mlbpa and a mine life exceeding 30 years, Tumas has the potential to become a globally significant uranium operation.

Telstra Group Ltd (ASX: TLS)

The Telstra share price is $4.82, down 0.3% today and down 0.7% over 12 months. 

John Athanasiou from Red Leaf Securities has a hold rating on this ASX 200 telco share. 

On The Bull this week, Athanasiou said: 

Telstra provides relatively defensive earnings and reliable cash flow during what has been a volatile period for equity markets.

The mobile division remains the key earnings driver, while infrastructure assets add stability. However, expectations are already reflected in the share price, and recent network service concerns create reputational risk.

Hold for income rather than substantial near term capital growth.

SGH Ltd (ASX: SGH)

The SGH share price is $37.11, down 1.1% today and down 25% over 12 months. 

Mark Gardner from MPC Markets has a sell rating on this ASX 200 industrials share. 

Gardner explained: 

This diversified company has businesses across industrial services, energy and media. It owns integrated construction materials business Boral and equipment hire business Coates. WesTrac is the sole authorised Caterpillar dealer in Western Australia, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.

Group earnings before interest and tax of $1.554 billion in full year 2026 were up just 1 per cent on the prior corresponding period. Underlying net profit after tax of $920 million was broadly flat.

SGH is exposed to the Australian construction sector, which is experiencing increasing insolvencies.

SGH shares have fallen from $46.34 on August 10 to trade at $36.73 on September 24.

Investors may want to consider cashing in some gains.

SGH expects to deliver flat to low single digit EBIT growth in full year 2027.

Lynas Rare Earths Ltd (ASX: LYC) shares are down around 6% in Thursday lunchtime trade, to $13.04 a piece.

Today’s slump means the shares have now fallen 16% over the past month, but they’re still around 7% higher for the year-to-date.

It’s been a rocky start to the year for the ASX rare earths miner. Geopolitical volatility, higher costs, and investors taking their gains off the table after a strong rally earlier this year have all acted as strong headwinds for the Lynas Rare Earths share price.

The miner’s FY26 results announcement in late-August hasn’t helped sentiment either. 

The company posted a record FY26 profit and revenue, as company growth continues to ramp up. It reported a 76% increase in revenue and a 282% increase in EBITDA. Lynas Rare Earths also confirmed it is focused on ramping up new assets in FY27 and growing its global presence.

But the miner’s $222.4 million net profit was a miss versus analysts expectations of around $242.5 million. And it raised red flags about costs going forward.

Why are the shares falling again today?

Ahead of the ASX open this morning, Lynas Rare Earths announced plans to acquire all shares in Meteoric Resources Ltd (ASX: MEI) via an all-scrip deal, valued at approximately A$968 million.

Meteoric shareholders will receive 0.0207 new Lynas shares per Meteoric share held, while Lynas Rare Earths boosts its resource base, including the largest ionic clay rare earth resource outside China.

As part of the announcement, the company also flagged that it is moving forward with plans to diversify its resource base, expanding its global footprint and enhancing supply of critical minerals at a time of robust demand. 

The company said that investors should watch for further announcements as the deal moves through regulatory and shareholder processes into early 2027.

Again, it looks like investors are spooked about the execution risk surrounding the deal, and many are offloading their shares.

Are Lynas Rare Earths a buy, sell or hold now?

It looks like analysts are more excited by the ASX mining company’s potential than the company’s shareholders.

Market Index data show they expect Lynas’ shares to jump again this year. The majority of brokers have a strong buy rating on the miner’s shares, and the $19.56 average target price implies a potential 50% upside, at the time of writing. 

Sentiment is similar on TradingView. The majority (11 out of 16) of analysts have a buy/strong buy rating on the shares. The $18.71 average target price implies an upside of around 44%. Whereas, the more bullish of the bunch think Lynas Rare Earths shares could climb 77% higher to $23 over the next 12 months, at the time of writing.
