Three ASX shares have received fresh buy ratings from the team at Bell Potter following earnings results. 

In good news for prospective investors, price targets now indicate almost 50% upside. 

Here is what the broker had to say. 

Cedar Woods Properties Ltd (ASX: CWP)

The Australian property development company reported its full-year results yesterday.

Overall, the broker believes Cedar Woods delivered a stronger-than-expected FY26, with NPAT growth of 36%, ahead of its 30% to 35% guidance. 

Management guided to 15% NPAT growth in FY27, well above Bell Potter’s prior 7.3% forecast and consensus at 7.9%.

CWP is well placed to weather a weaker residential sales environment with FY27 and FY28 revenues 90% and c. 40% (BPe) de-risked, as well as modest gearing (18%). Beyond FY27, we see +5.9% NPAT growth in FY28 as settlement volumes continue to grow and margins remain broadly steady.

Based on this guidance, Bell Potter retained its buy recommendation and increased its price target to $9.80 (previously $9.30). 

From current levels, this indicates an upside potential of roughly 27% for these ASX shares.  

GenusPlus Group Ltd (ASX: GNP)

GenusPlus Group is an Australian infrastructure services provider specialising in the end-to-end design, construction, and maintenance of electrical transmission networks, substations, battery energy storage systems, and telecommunications infrastructure.

The company released full-year results yesterday, which included record revenue of $1.281 billion, surging 70.5% year on year, and normalised EBITDA of $100.8 million, up by nearly 50%.

The team at Bell Potter viewed the result as largely positive, with recurring revenue set to rise sharply to $764 million, a $2.2 billion orderbook, and $3.6 billion tender pipeline, while the balance sheet strengthened significantly to $380 million net cash.

GNP enters FY27 with a materially higher tender pipeline of $3.6b (vs $2.6b at 31December 2025) across the transmission, BESS, rail and wind development markets. GNP’s FY27 PE of 17.9x is undemanding; we see potential for a re-rate towards 20-22x in the short-term, a justified premium to the peer group average.

The broker retained its buy recommendation on these ASX shares, and has a $12.80 price target, indicating 47% upside from current levels. 

Propel Funeral Partners Ltd (ASX: PFP)

Propel Funeral Partners also reported full-year results yesterday.

The company posted FY26 revenue of $226.6 million, and declared a fully-franked final dividend of 6.9 cents per share.

Bell Potter said this came in at the mid-point of the guidance. 

The broker has retained its buy recommendation, and now has a $3.70 price target on these ASX shares. 

This indicates 16% upside from current levels.

The Brazilian Rare Earths Ltd (ASX: BRE) share price is in focus today after the company revealed a major step forward at its Monte Alto project, with drilling results showing ultra-high-grade rare earth extensions not included in its current mineral estimate and a new growth corridor emerging in the north.

What did Brazilian Rare Earths report?

• ~10,000 m of new diamond drilling at Monte Alto has expanded the high-grade mineralised envelope by around 50% compared to the February 2026 model.
• Southern extension: 25.6 m at 17.4% TREO, including 8 m at 28.1% TREO (MADD0230).
• Eastern/down-dip extension: 9.4 m at 21.8% TREO, including 6.2 m at 25.4% TREO (MADD0093).
• Strong infill and step-out results across several fronts, with multiple intercepts exceeding 20% TREO and individual assays up to 36.5% TREO.
• Major critical mineral credits: niobium oxide up to 1.1%, scandium, tantalum and uranium also present at elevated grades.
• None of these new results are yet included in Monte Alto’s Mineral Resource Estimate or production case.

What else do investors need to know?

The new drilling campaign has established several high-grade growth fronts to the south, east/down-dip, and north of the existing Monte Alto deposit. The mineralised system remains open in all directions, and a follow-up program of over 5,000 m is already underway to test further extensions.

A standout development is the unlocking of a northern corridor, where the company now has land access for a 1,400 m drill program to bridge the gap between the main deposit and a new high-grade northern discovery. These results create a clear pathway for resource growth, with potential mine life extension or increased production following the next resource update.

What did Brazilian Rare Earths management say?

CEO & Managing Director Bernardo da Veiga said:

Monte Alto continues to deliver the two outcomes that matter most for future resource growth: exceptional high-grade mineralisation beyond the margins of the existing model and stronger geological continuity within the deposit. Drillhole MADD0230 is a standout result – 25.6 metres at 17.4% TREO, including 8 metres at 28.1% TREO – while the MADD0093 extension confirms that the same high-grade, multi-element system continues down dip. The compelling step-out drill results delivered repeatable high grades across several growth fronts, and the infill program has returned both ultra-high-grade assays and broad mineralised envelopes.

The strategic significance is clear. The current Monte Alto production case is based only on drilling available to 22 February 2026. Since then, our team has successfully expanded the interpreted mineralised envelope volume to the south and east/down dip, while continuing to deliver ultra-high grades and advancing the open northern corridor. The additional scale immediately strengthens the Project’s value proposition and, subject to conversion into Mineral Resources, could create substantial value through mine-life extension or increased annual production.

What’s next for Brazilian Rare Earths?

Brazilian Rare Earths’ immediate focus is on completing over 5,000 m of additional drilling to further test and define high-priority growth vectors around Monte Alto. A new Mineral Resource Estimate is planned for the end of 2026, which will incorporate these results for the first time.

Alongside drilling, the company is progressing mine planning and scoping work, including an ongoing pre-feasibility study that could underpin either an extended mine life or boosted annual output. Regional drilling at nearby targets also continues, underlining a broader district-scale growth strategy.

Brazilian Rare Earths share price snapshot

Over the past 12 months, Brazilian Rare Earths shares have risen 96%, outperforming the All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO).
