• Buy, hold, sell: SKS Technologies, Yancoal, Wesfarmers shares

    A young woman holds her hand to her ear and leans sideways as if to listen to something that's surprising her as her eyes and her mouth are wide open.

    S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares are up 0.14% to 8,808.6 points on Monday afternoon. 

    The fastest rising ASX 200 shares today are 4D Medical Ltd (ASX: 4DX), up 10%, and Deep Yellow Ltd (ASX: DYL), up 7.3%.

    Among the biggest fallers are Alcoa Corporation CDI (ASX: AAI), down 3.8%, and Pexa Group Ltd (ASX: PXA), down 3.6%.

    Let’s check out 3 shares with new ratings from the experts today (courtesy The Bull). 

    SKS Technologies Group Ltd (ASX: SKS)

    The SKS Technologies share price is $7.95, down 5% today but up 250% over 12 months.

    Mark Elzayed from Investor Pulse has a buy rating on this ASX 200 industrials share. 

    He said: 

    SKS specialises in electrical technologies and digital infrastructure. It offers services across audio visual, communications and electrical solutions in Australia.

    In our view, it’s a compelling buy in response to Australia’s data centre electrification boom.

    Sales revenue rose 13.6 per cent in the first half of 2026 when compared to the prior corresponding period, while profit before tax increased 52.8 per cent. EBITDA was up 42.9 per cent.

    The company is forecasting full year revenue of $340 million in full year 2026 at a profit before tax margin of 10 per cent.

    The forecast is underpinned by a robust order book and the Delta Elcom acquisition expanding its Sydney data centre footprint and representing a significant percentage of the domestic market.

    Yancoal Australia Ltd (ASX: YAL)

    The Yancoal share price is $5.69, up 6.1% today and down 6.5% over 12 months.

    The coal producer is the third fastest-rising share of the ASX 200 today.

    Elzayed has a hold rating on this ASX 200 energy share. 

    He explained:  

    Yancoal is balancing strong fundamentals against a near term overhang.

    In April, YAL announced it would acquire 80 per cent of the Kestrel metallurgical coal mine in the Bowen Basin for $US2.4 billion. The acquisition is accretive over the long term, but adds leverage.

    Diesel cost inflation threatens to push 2026 unit costs toward the top end of its guidance range.

    Consensus targets of about $7.02 on July 15 imply upside, but integration and coal price risks argue for holding the stock rather than adding.

    Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES) 

    The Wesfarmers share price is $92.64, down 0.2% today and up 10.6% over 12 months.

    Tony Locantro from Alto Capital has a sell rating on the ASX 200’s largest consumer discretionary share.

    He said:

    The company delivered a strong first half result in full year 2026, reporting net profit after tax of $1.603 billion, up 9.3 per cent, reflecting continued earnings growth across its retail portfolio amid disciplined operational execution.

    Despite these strong fundamentals, much of the company’s quality and long term growth outlook appear fully reflected in its premium valuation.

    While Wesfarmers remains an outstanding long term business, future upside may be constrained by elevated market expectations.

    Given the strong share price performance and demanding valuation, the current risk-reward balance supports taking profits at current levels.

  • Buy, hold, sell: Sigma Healthcare, Wisetech Global, CBA shares

    Smiling man sits in front of a graph on computer while using his mobile phone.

    S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares are up 0.16% to 8,810.5 points on Monday.

    Among the 11 market sectors, energy is in the lead today, up 1.9%.

    The technology sector is the laggard, down 1.1%.

    Let’s check out some new ratings on three ASX 200 shares.

    Wisetech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)

    The Wisetech share price is $33.88, down 3.1% today and down 71% over 12 months.

    Bell Potter has a buy rating on this ASX 200 tech share with a 12-month target price of $71.75.

    Analyst Chris Savage said: 

    There has been a tech rally of sorts on the ASX over the past couple of months and this has been led by some of the large cap names including Pro Medicus Ltd (ASX: PME), Block CDI (ASX: XYZ) and Life360 Inc (ASX: 360).

    One large cap which has not rallied, however, is WiseTech and this is likely due to a number of factors including further negative press reports around founder and Chief Innovation Officer Richard White, concern around the potential future loss of key customer DSV and risk around both the FY26 result and FY27 guidance and whether each meets market expectations.

    In our view, however, these negatives will start to dissipate over the coming months and indeed have already commenced with
    the appointment earlier this month of Raelene Murphy to Chair which we regard as a positive move.

    Sigma Healthcare Ltd (ASX: SIG)

    The Sigma Healthcare share price is $2.94, up 0.2% today and up 7% over 12 months.

    Bell Potter has a hold rating on this ASX 200 healthcare share with a price target of $3.

    Analyst John Hester said: 

    … investment metrics for SIG are not sufficiently attractive to warrant a Buy rating, particularly with a single payer (the Federal Government) representing a disproportionate level of group revenue.

    The Government’s propensity to alter funding arrangements on short notice with little industry consultation should elevate the risk rating on SIG.

    Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA)

    CBA shares are $172.73 apiece, up 0.6% today and down 3% over 12 months.

    Morgans has a sell rating on CBA shares and just reduced its 12-month target from $119.40 to $117.63.

    Analyst Nathan Lead said:

    We make updates to our forecasts ahead of the FY26 result in August. Net result is 1-2% downgrades to FY27-28F EPS.

    Sell retained, given stretched valuation metrics remain implied in the share price (c.26x PER, 3.7x PBV, 2.9% cash yield).

  • Up 149% in a year, why this surging ASX 300 tech stock is still a good buy today

    A female athlete in green spandex leaps from one cliff edge to another.

    S&P/ASX 300 Index (ASX: XKO) tech stock Weebit Nano Ltd (ASX: WBT) has delivered some smashing gains over the past 12 months.

    In early afternoon trade on Monday, shares in the semiconductor memory technology company are changing hands for $5.62 apiece.

    This sees the Weebit Nano share price up a very impressive 148.7% over the last year, racing ahead of the 1.3% 12-month gains delivered by the benchmark index.

    And looking ahead, Investor Pulse’s Mark Elzayed believes the stock is well-placed to keep outperforming (courtesy of The Bull).

    Here’s why.

    Should I buy the ASX 300 tech stock today?

    “Weebit Nano develops advanced semiconductor memory technology,” Elzayed noted late last week.

    Commenting on his bullish outlook for the ASX 300 tech stock, he said:

    Licensing deals with Texas Instruments and onsemi have contributed to company performance. Revenue guidance of $10 million in full year 2026 and a recent capital raising of $102 million fortifies the balance sheet for artificial intelligence and research development.

    Indeed, in a market announcement out just this morning, Weebit Nano again upgraded its full year revenue guidance.

    According to the release:

    Based on unaudited numbers, the company now expects revenue to be at least A$13.5 million, replacing previous guidance of “at least A$12 million”. The increased revenue guidance is mainly attributable to the expansion of customer projects.

    Summarising his buy recommendation on Weebit Nano shares, Elzayed concluded:

    The shift towards a recurring royalty model generates long term operating leverage. Momentum and news flow are positive, although the multi-year path from licence to royalty income remains the key execution risk.

    What’s the latest from Weebit Nano?

    The ASX 300 tech stock reported its third quarter (Q3 FY 2026) results on 30 April.

    Commenting on the company’s upgraded full year revenue guidance at the time, Weebit Nano CEO Coby Hanoch said, “It’s been an important quarter for Weebit Nano as we made the strategic decision to significantly strengthen our balance sheet to accelerate our growth ambitions.”

    Hatch noted:

    Our technology was selected for a Korean National Compute-in-Memory program, we secured two new revenue-generating agreements, and continued to make strong technical progress with onsemi and Texas Instruments.

    As for the recent capital raising the Elzayed mentioned above, Hatch said:

    The added capital from our recent raise enables us to widen the gap between ourselves and competitors and have undisputedly the best ReRAM in the market. As the only independent provider of qualified ReRAM, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to take share as adoption shifts from niche to mainstream.
