S&P/ASX All Ords Index (ASX: XAO) shares are down 3% over 12 months.

On The Bull this week, Mark Gardner from MPC Markets shares his insights on three stocks.

Greatland Resources Ltd (ASX: GGP)

The Greatland Resources share price is up 40% over 12 months. 

Gardner has a buy call on this ASX gold mining share. 

He said: 

Greatland is moving into mid-tier gold and copper production.

GGP produced 328,987 ounces of gold and 14,594 tonnes of copper in full year 2026. The company beat production and cost guidance.

Net profit after tax of $862 million was up 156 per cent on the prior corresponding period.

The shares have fallen on weaker production guidance in full year 2027.

GGP offers an appealing entry price. In our view, the market is too focused on a weaker guidance rather than funded growth.

Telix Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: TLX)

The Telix Pharmaceuticals share price is up 7% over 12 months. 

Gardner has a hold rating on this ASX healthcare share. 

He explained: 

The US Food and Drug Administration recently approved the company’s brain cancer imaging drug Pixclara.

TLX shares soared on the news, but we believe the approval is largely priced in at this point.

However, the underlying business is in good shape. Group revenue of $US477 million in the first half of 2026 was up 22 per cent on the prior corresponding period.

The group gross margin of 55 per cent was up 2 per cent year-on year. The company maintained a cash balance of $US252 million at June 30, 2026.

Qualitas Ltd (ASX: QAL)

The Qualitas share price is down 34% over 12 months. 

Gardner has a sell recommendation on this ASX financial share. 

He commented:

Qualitas is an alternative real estate investment manager with about $11.6 billion of committed funds under management at June 30, 2026.

QAL manages investments across real estate private credit and real estate private equity via a range of investment solutions for institutional, wholesale and retail clients.

The company has exposure to construction lending in a sector we believe is under pressure from rising costs amid potentially higher interest rates.

The shares have fallen from $3.36 on August 13 to trade at $2.38 on September 24.

We would rather be on the sidelines until credit costs stop rising.

I think long-term investing in ASX shares is the best approach because it gives our investments time to successfully execute business plans and lets the magic of compounding play out.

The investments I’m going to talk about have already demonstrated their strategies are working and I’m expecting plenty more success in the years ahead.

The first is one of the ASX’s leading exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the second is a business exposed to one of Australia’s longest-term tailwinds.

Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

This investment gives investors exposure to 100 of the largest non-financial companies on the NASDAQ. The NASDAQ is home to many of the world’s leading technology businesses, so investors are getting significant exposure to tech businesses that are changing the world.

On 24 September 2026, its biggest positions were Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Micron Technology, Advanced Micro Devices, Amazon.com and Meta Platforms.

It’s hard to say how the world will change from here, but I imagine technology will remain a key driver of change. New products and services can unlock earnings and expand existing revenue streams, like cloud computing and online shopping.

By the way, I’m calling this an ASX share because it’s about investing in shares and we can buy it on the ASX.

The NDQ ETF holdings continue to see earnings growth, which can drive their share prices higher, which is a big tailwind for the returns of the NDQ ETF.

Impressively, the NDQ ETF has returned an average of 19.4% per year since inception in May 2025. In the past five years, it has returned an average of 14.2% per year. Of course, past performance is not a guarantee of future returns.

Over the next decade, I expect this collective group to continue delivering pleasing earnings growth, probably stronger than the overall global share market. Great businesses have a habit of continuing to deliver good performance.

Propel Funeral Partners Ltd (ASX: PFP)

Propel is the other ASX share I want to highlight. It is the second-largest funeral operator in Australia and New Zealand. Propel operates from 213 locations, including 42 cremation facilities and nine cemeteries.

Australia and New Zealand both have growing and ageing demographics, which means there’s a tailwind for funeral volumes.

According to Propel and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the number of deaths in Australia is projected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.8% between 2026 and 2035 and then rise at a CAGR of a further 2.3% between 2036 to 2045.

FY26 was thankfully a challenging year for funeral volumes, with funeral volumes contracting by around 2%. To me, that suggests that funeral volumes are likely to be stronger in the medium term.

Funeral prices are steadily rising over time, which is another tailwind for revenue. In FY26, the average revenue per funeral was $6,673 – a comparable rise of 2% year-over-year.

The company is steadily expanding its geographic presence and scale, which should provide advantages in the coming years. Since FY26, it has deployed around $12 million on five acquisitions in New Zealand.

In July 2026, the first month of FY27, comparable average revenue per funeral rose 3%, and funeral volumes remained resilient despite the lowest recorded winter flu season in five years.

With Propel Funeral Partners’ share price down 45% over the past year, it looks like a great time to be brave and invest.

Owning Westpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC) shares normally means receiving a pleasing level of dividend income each year.

The ASX bank share typically has a generous dividend payout ratio and a fairly low price/earnings (P/E) ratio, resulting in a large dividend yield for investors.

In my view, Westpac shares offer investors a fairly similar investment setup as ANZ Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: ANZ) and National Australia Bank Ltd (ASX: NAB). However, Westpac typically generates more of its earnings from lending to households than the other two banks.

All three of the bank majors that I’ve mentioned have a higher dividend yield than Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA), though that’s largely because CBA trades on a higher P/E ratio than the other major banks.

With the above in mind, let’s take a look at what analysts are predicting for the ASX bank share in the years ahead.

FY26

We’re now at the end of the Westpac 2026 financial year, which finishes on 30 September 2026. But we’ll have to wait a few weeks to see what the ASX bank share actually achieved when it reports.

The latest update we’ve heard from the bank was the FY26 third-quarter update for the three weeks to June 2026.

It said it generated $1.8 billion of quarterly statutory net profit, which represented a 3% increase on the quarterly average of the FY26 first half. Its underlying net profit also came to $1.8 billion, resulting in a 2% year-over-year increase on the FY26 first half average.

Westpac noted that it continues to focus on simplifying its operations, improving the customer experience, and increasing productivity. The ASX bank share said its program, called UNITE, is progressing.

The ASX bank share also highlighted that its enterprise data has migrated to the cloud, that it has strengthened its data foundations, and that it supports greater use of analytics and artificial intelligence.

For the quarter, its net interest margin (NIM) – the profitability of its lending – was essentially stable, though rose slightly thanks to the higher interest rate environment, offset by competitive pressures in lending, the deposit mix and more savers qualifying for the savings bonus rate.

Westpac also highlighted continued operating momentum drove “strong customer deposit and loan growth”. Lending increased by 2%, reflecting broad-based growth across the Australian portfolio including 4% in business, 3% in institutional and 2% in housing.

According to the projection on CMC Invest, the business is forecast to increase its dividend per Westpac share to $1.55. That translates into a FY26 grossed-up dividend yield of 6.3%, including franking credits, at the time of writing.

FY27

The ASX bank share is expected to continue the positive trajectory for the Westpac dividend in the 2027 financial year, along with a slight increase in earnings per share (EPS).

The projection on CMC Invest suggests the annual dividend per share could be hiked slightly to $1.585.

FY28

In the final financial year of this projection series, Westpac is forecast to raise its annual dividend per share to $1.64.

That means the ASX bank share could pay a FY28 grossed-up dividend yield of 6.7%, including franking credits, at the time of writing.
