It has been a pretty horrible day on the Australian share market.

The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is down 1.56% to 8,772 points on Thursday afternoon, putting it on track for its worst session in 6 months.

But you wouldn’t know it looking at Megaport Ltd (ASX: MP1).

Megaport shares are up another 3.40% to $18.26 today and have now climbed more than 10% over the past week.

I have been watching this one closely since investors smashed the share price after its FY26 results last month.

Personally, I think the market went too far.

And with the shares starting to move higher again, I think $25 could be back on the table sooner than many investors expect.

Why did Megaport shares get smashed?

Megaport was trading above $22 in August before falling as low as $16 earlier this month.

The big concern was spending.

Management expects capital expenditure of between $1.28 billion and $1.38 billion in FY27 as the company pours money into its growing compute business.

That is obviously a huge number for a company with a market capitalisation of around $4.3 billion.

But I think investors became so focused on the spending that some of the growth numbers were pushed aside.

FY26 revenue increased 37% to $312.2 million, while group annual recurring revenue jumped 62% to $395.2 million.

EBITDA came in at $77.1 million, with a margin of 25%.

And FY27 could be a much bigger year.

Megaport expects revenue of between $620 million and $730 million, meaning revenue could at least double this year.

There is a lot happening here

The part I like is that Megaport isn’t simply spending billions and hoping customers eventually turn up.

The company has already signed several large contracts.

Its three major deals through Latitude.sh are worth around US$359 million combined and cover GPU and CPU compute, networking and storage.

Megaport also operates across more than 1,200 enabled data centres in 30 countries.

With AI requiring huge amounts of computing power and data to move between different locations, I think Megaport is sitting in a pretty good spot if demand continues growing.

Of course, management still needs to execute.

But I believe the recent sell-off gave investors a much better entry price than they had only a few weeks ago.

Could Megaport shares reach $25?

I think they can.

Morgans and Morgan Stanley both have $25 price targets on Megaport shares, while Citi recently lifted its target to $24.60.

A move to $25 would mean another gain of around 38% from today’s price.

I’m not saying it will happen in a straight line. Megaport has shown us plenty of times how quickly its share price can move in both directions.

But if the company keeps delivering on its contracts and investors remain positive heading into year-end, I think $25 during the Christmas rally is very possible.

JB Hi-Fi Ltd (ASX: JBH), GPT Group Ltd (ASX: GPT), and Charter Hall Group (ASX: CHC) shares have tumbled to an annual low in Thursday lunchtime trade as the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) comes under more pressure.

Here’s what has happened, and what brokers tip next.

Charter Hall shares

The diversified property funds manager’s shares have fallen 2% to an annual low of $18.03 at the time of writing. The latest decline means the shares have now crashed 24% over the past month and they’re 27% lower for the year-to-date.

There hasn’t been any price sensitive announcement out of the company this week. Instead it looks like it has been hit by a series of headwinds, including higher-than-expected inflation figures and a weakening property market. Concerns about further interest rate hikes are also putting pressure on property-related stocks across the sector.

Even the company’s robust FY26 result announcement late last month didn’t do enough to reignite investor confidence. Management announced a 26.8% increase in operating earnings, gross property transactions of $17.1 billion and the launch of multiple new funds and partnerships.

The experts are still bullish that there will be some upside ahead. Market Index data shows that the majority have a strong buy rating on Charter Hall shares. The $24.14 average target price implies around a 33% upside ahead, at the time of writing.

GPT Group shares

As one of Australia’s largest listed property trusts, GPT is facing the same headwinds as Charter Hall shares this week.

The company, which owns and manages a portfolio of Australian office, logistics, and retail assets, with funds under management of more than $36 billion, is highly sensitive to shifts in property market sentiment.

Its shares are also down around 2% today, to an annual low of $4.41 each. Over the past month the shares have crashed 16%, and they’re now 20% lower for the year-to-date.

The company also posted a solid first-half FY26 result last month, including a statutory net profit after tax of $400.1 million for the half year, and a reported investment portfolio occupancy of 97.6%.

Experts are also bullish about the share price outlook over the next 12 months. Market Index data shows the majority have a strong buy rating on GPT Group shares, and the $5.33 average target price implies an upside of around 19%, at the time of writing,

JB Hi-Fi shares

JB Hi-Fi shares are also down around 2% in Thursday lunchtime trade, and changing hands at a two-year low of $64.70 at the time of writing. Over the past month, the shares have fallen 23%, and they’re 33% lower year-to-date.

Consumer discretionary stocks like JB Hi-Fi have come under pressure recently amid market concerns about higher interest rates, inflation, and weaker consumer confidence.

And it looks like the company’s FY26 results in late August further dampened confidence. Management posted record revenue of $11.06 billion, up 4.8% from FY25. Meanwhile, EBIT increased 5.8% to $734.4 million. On the bottom line, the company reported a net profit after tax (NPAT) of $489.9 million, up 6% year-on-year. After delivering higher profit, management declared a final fully franked dividend of $1.27 per share.

But looking ahead, JB Hi-Fi said it expects a variable trading environment in the short term but notes ongoing resilience among its brands and flagged that the company saw a slight dip in sales in July. 

Investors were clearly spooked, and analysts also seem on the fence about the share price outlook. Market Index data shows broker ratings are split between a buy and a hold. However, after the latest selloff, the $79.34 average target price now implies 21% potential upside.

S&P/ASX All Ords Index (ASX: XAO) shares are down 1.5% at 8,963 points on Thursday.

Meanwhile, three experts give us their views on three ASX All Ords shares on The Bull.

Let’s review. 

SKS Technologies Group Ltd (ASX: SKS)

The SKS Technologies share price is $7.89, down 1.9% today but up 155% over 12 months.

Mark Elzayed from Vestra Capital has a buy rating on this ASX 200 industrials share. 

Elzayed said: 

SKS Technologies has established a significant market footprint in electrical, fibre optic and audiovisual integration for major data centre projects.

The company generated revenue of $347.93 million in full year 2026, up 33 per cent on the prior corresponding period. Net profit after tax of $27.11 million surged 93.2 per cent. Data centre revenue of $207.7 million was up 47.6 per cent year on year.

The balance sheet is also stronger, with cash from operations increasing 30.5 per cent.

The primary catalyst for SKS is its accelerating work on hand and structural exposure to Australia’s expanding data centre market.

In my view, SKS represents a high conviction growth opportunity, supported by strong demand visibility and a substantial project pipeline.

Select Harvests Ltd (ASX: SHV)

The Select Harvests share price is $4.56, down 2.4% today and up 26% over 12 months. 

Select Harvests is the world’s No. 5 almond producer.

Elzayed has a sell rating on this ASX agriculture share.

The broker said: 

Risks include its exposure to seasonal weather volatility and intense international competition, particularly from large US and Californian almond producers.

Earnings remain exposed to agricultural yields, almond pricing and input cost volatility.

Given the stock’s relatively modest performance compared with higher growth industrial and technology opportunities, the risk-reward profile isn’t as attractive.

We would be inclined to cash in some gains after a solid share price performance since mid May.

Seek Ltd (ASX: SEK)

The Seek share price is $12.69, down 0.9% today and down 53% over 12 months. 

Blake Halligan from Gray Perry Wealth Advisers has a buy rating on this ASX 200 communications share. 

Halligan said: 

Seek operates a leading online employment marketplace, with a dominant position in Australia and established operations across Asia.

Its scalable model, strong margins and international expansion provide attractive long-term growth potential.

Despite softer job-ad volumes, fiscal year 2026 net revenue rose 10 per cent and EBITDA increased 15 per cent, demonstrating pricing power and operational resilience.

We’re forecasting earnings to grow about 9.5 per cent annually in the next two years.

An improving return on equity and a healthy dividend further support the investment case.
