As we approach the Friday closing bell, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is up a slender 0.1% for the week, with these three ASX 200 stocks leaping ahead of those gains following strong earnings results.

Here’s what’s been piquing investor interest.

Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX: PDN)

At time of writing, Aussie uranium miner Paladin Energy shares are trading for $12.00 apiece. That sees this ASX 200 stock up 18.5% since last Friday’s close.

Paladin Energy released its FY 2026 results on Wednesday.

Following the successful ramp-up of Paladin’s Langer Heinrich Mine (LHM), the miner reported production of 4.82 million pounds of uranium (U₃O₈), which came in at the upper-end of guidance.

The company also achieved a 71% year on year increase in sales revenue to US$304 million. That was spurred by both higher sales of 4.35 million pounds of uranium and a 7% increase in the realised average price, which came out at US$70.0 per pound.

Paladin Energy reported a gross profit of US$52 million, up from a gross loss of US$26 m million in FY 2025.

The miner still ended the financial year with a net loss after tax of US$9.1 million, though that’s a big improvement from the US$77 million net loss reported in FY 2025.

Lovisa Holdings Ltd (ASX: LOV)

The second ASX 200 stock shooting the lights out in this week’s fairly stagnant market is fashion jewellery retailer Lovisa.

Currently trading for $26.38, Lovisa shares are up 14.2% for the week.

Most of those gains were delivered on Wednesday as investors pored over Lovisa’s FY 2026 results release.

Highlights included a 17.6% year on year increase in revenue to $939 million. And earning before interest and tax (EBIT) were up 14.1% to $158 million.

On the bottom line, Lovisa achieved a net profit after tax (NPAT) of $95.6 million, up 10.7% from FY 2025.

The company delivered a full year dividend 86 cents per share, 50% franked. That up 11.7% from last year’s dividend payouts.

Which brings us to…

ASX 200 stock Ansell Ltd (ASX: ANN)

At time of writing, shares in ASX 200 stock Ansell are up 15.8% from the week, changing hands for $40.40 apiece.

The ASX health and safety products company got a big boost on Monday after reporting its own FY 2026 earnings results.

Investors reacted positively to Ansell’s record sales of US$2.14 billion, up 6.8% from FY 2025. Earnings grew strongly too, with Ansell reporting adjusted EBIT US$322 million, up 14.1%.

And on the bottom line, the company reported a 15.8% year on year increase in adjusted NPAT to US$212 million.

Over the full year, Ansell paid 68.1 US cents per share in dividends, up 35.7% from the prior year’s passive income payouts.

WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC) shares are back in recovery mode on Friday.

At the time of writing, the WiseTech share price is up 5.13% to $41.58, helped by a strong night for US tech stocks.

Shareholders will probably welcome the rebound after what has been a rough couple of days.

WiseTech shares fell from $45.47 on Tuesday to $39.55 on Thursday, wiping around 13% off the stock in just two sessions following the company’s FY26 result.

It has been a pretty wild month overall. Even after that sell-off, the shares are still up around 30% over the past month. However, they remain down roughly 40% since the start of 2026.

So, with the share price bouncing again, could there be more upside ahead?

Here’s what the brokers think.

Brokers are still mostly bullish

Despite the recent volatility, brokers remain pretty positive on WiseTech shares.

According to TipRanks, 9 analysts currently rate the stock as a buy, while 2 have hold ratings.

The average 12-month price target is $57.77. Based on the current share price, that suggests the shares could climb around 39% from here.

Nonetheless, there is still a wide range of views on where the share price could end up. The highest target is $70, while the lowest sits at $40.

While most brokers remain bullish, there’s clearly some uncertainty over just how much upside WiseTech still has.

The latest broker calls

Several brokers have updated their views since Wednesday’s result.

Morgan Stanley kept its buy rating and $70 price target. Bell Potter also remains bullish, although it lowered its target from $71.75 to $65.

Citi went the other way, lifting its price target from $55.05 to $58.75. UBS cut its target from $65 to $56 but kept its buy recommendation.

Macquarie also nudged its target higher to $48.20 and retained its buy rating.

Not every broker is convinced, though. Jefferies downgraded WiseTech to hold and set a $45 target, while JPMorgan has a hold rating and $40 target.

Morgans also made a change today, trimming its price target by 6.7% to $62.50.

Even after the cut, Morgans still sees around 50% upside from where WiseTech shares trade today.

What should investors watch?

There are still a few things investors will want to keep an eye on from here.

Management is guiding for FY27 revenue of $1.48 billion to $1.54 billion and underlying EBITDA of $725 million to $780 million.

The company is also looking for more savings from e2open and greater use of AI across the business.

At the same time, the market will want to see WiseTech deliver on that guidance, especially with regulatory concerns still hanging over the company.

The shares have bounced strongly from their June low of $28.76, but recent sessions show how quickly sentiment can change.

S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) gold stock Titan Minerals Ltd (ASX: TTM) is marching higher today.

Shares in the South American-focused gold and copper miner closed trading yesterday for 66.5 cents. In morning trade on Friday, shares are changing hands for 67.5 cents each, up 1.5%.

This sees the Titan Minerals share price up 53.4% since this time last year.

For some context, the All Ordinaries Index is up 0.2% at this same time and also up 0.2% over 12 months.

And according to the analysts at Euroz Hartleys, Titan Minerals is well-placed to keep smashing the benchmark returns in the year ahead.

ASX All Ords gold stock tipped for 200% gains

On 20 August, Titan Minerals released an update on its 100% held Dynasty Gold Project, located in Ecuador.

The ASX All Ords gold stock has been completing a 10,000-metre resource definition drilling program at the Cerro Verde prospect, within Dynasty, aiming for a Mineral Resource update in early 2027.

Last week, Titan Minerals reported that its latest drilling had struck an “extensive new zone” of gold and silver mineralisation at Cerro Verde.

Among the top drill results, the miner reported an intercept of 33.5 metres at 6.6 grams of gold per tonne and 55.5 grams of silver per tonne (6.6 g/t Au, 55.5 g/t Ag).

“Our technical team are highly encouraged by these latest results, which have provided a breakthrough in our understanding of the major mineralisation pathways and controls at Dynasty,” Titan CEO Melanie Leighton said.

Euroz Hartleys was also impressed. The broker noted:

Importantly, the ~250gm AuEq intersection lies outside the current resource, suggesting potential for a meaningful addition to the existing resource base, which currently stands at 3.9Moz gold and 26Moz silver.

The discovery is particularly significant because it reveals a previously unrecognised northwest-trending structural corridor that may have been overlooked by earlier drilling, noting previous holes in this area were largely drilled parallel to these structures, hence mineralisation may have been missed.

Summarising their bullish outlook on the ASX All Ords gold stock, the analysts at Euroz Hartleys concluded:

TTM has identified multiple high-priority targets along this structural corridor and plans to commence follow-up drilling shortly to test extensions and repeat zones of mineralisation.

If further drilling confirms continuity of the shear-hosted system, the discovery could materially expand the Dynasty resource and strengthen the project’s long-term growth potential.

Euroz Hartleys maintained its speculative buy recommendation on Titan Minerals but lifted its price target to $2.02 a share (from $1.93).

This implies a potential upside of more than 199% from current levels.
