The Webjet Group (ASX: WJL) share price is leaping higher today.

Shares in the All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) travel agency closed Friday trading for 52.5 cents. In morning trade on Monday, shares are changing hands for 55 cents apiece, up 4.8%.

For some context, the All Ords is down 0.9% at this same time.

As you’re likely aware, Webjet first listed as an independent entity on the ASX in September 2024. That followed its spin-off from Web Travel Group Ltd (ASX: WEB).

Since listing, the Webjet share price has experienced some steep ups and downs, with 2026 seeing shares take another sharp fall, down 37.5% since 2 January.

Today, investors learned that the company will be searching for new leadership.

Webjet share price gains on CEO departure

Investors are bidding up the Webjet share price today after the company announced that CEO and managing director Katrina Barry has resigned from her position.

Barry took the reins as CEO at Webjet in June 2024 in the lead-up to its demerger from Web Travel.

Webjet said that Barry will remain aboard until May to support the transition to new leadership and help manage the full-year results release.

The board said it will now launch a search process for her successor.

What did management say?

“Katrina led the business during the successful demerger and ASX listing of the group’s B2C business to become Webjet Group,” Webjet chairman Don Clarke said about the changing of the guard that’s looking to help boost the Webjet share price today.

“She then developed a new five-year strategic roadmap for the group and focused on the upgrade of the company’s brand, marketing, and technology capabilities”, he added.

Commenting on her time as CEO of Webjet, Barry said:

Over the past 21 months, we have made remarkable progress: setting a new five-year strategy and growth plan for the group, revitalising the iconic OTA brand and marketing strategy, driving profitability in the New Zealand business units, initiating evolution and enhancement of the technology and business travel platforms, and uplifting leadership capability.

How could the Middle East conflict impact the Webjet share price?

Turning to potential travel disruptions caused by the war in Iran, management noted:

While global uncertainty continues to influence travel behaviour, demand to date has remained resilient, with travellers increasingly favouring domestic and short-haul destinations across Asia and the Pacific.

The Webjet share price looks to be catching tailwinds with the company reaffirming its full-year FY 2026 guidance of underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in the range of $28 million to $29 million. That excludes the Webjet Business Travel segment, which is expected to reduce underlying EBITDA by $600,000 to $900,000 in the second half of FY 2026.

The All Ordinaries (ASX: XAO), or ASX All Ords, stock space is a great area of the market to look for opportunities right now because of the volatility and much lower share prices.

Small businesses can be just as good of an investment as a large business, perhaps an even better one, mainly due to their long-term earnings growth potential.

I’m optimistic that the following businesses have a very positive future.

Propel Funeral Partners Ltd (ASX: PFP)

Propel is one of the largest operators of funerals and crematoria in Australia and New Zealand.

It’s a morbid industry, but it’s an important one for society. Sadly, the sector does see a certain level of demand each year. As the saying goes, there are two things certain in life – death and taxes.

Due to Australia’s growing and ageing population, the number of deaths per year is expected to grow in the coming years, which gives the business ultra-long-term tailwinds.

Death volumes are expected to increase by an average of 2.9% between 2026 to 2035 and then grow by a further 2.4% from 2036 to 2045. New Zealand is also expected to long-term growth, though not quite as strong.

Inflation is another useful boost for the ASX All Ords stock’s revenue because it helps boost the average revenue per funeral. Propel Funeral Partners reported that its compound annual growth rate (CAGR) has been 2.8% since FY15, though it was faster during the inflationary period earlier this decade.

I think this company’s net profit can steadily grow over the long-term, making the recent decline an appealing time to buy, in my view.

Siteminder Ltd (ASX: SDR)

Siteminder is another ASX All Ords stock that I’m bullish about over the long-term because of its growth rate and plans for the future.

The business provides software to hotels around the world to help them run their operations and generate more revenue for their rooms over the course of a year.

The ASX All Ords stock has a goal of growing its revenue by 30% per year, which is a tremendous rate of compounding if it can achieve that goal. The business is offering new modules to clients to help them be even better at generating revenue from the software (such as analysis of data), including an offering that enables Siteminder to automatically adjust room prices for the hotel.

The company is currently growing revenue at a growth rate that’s in mid-20% range and I think the market is underestimating at how much it could grow in the next few years.

Additionally, the company’s operating profit (EBITDA) margins and cash flow margins are growing, particularly as it is now generating positive figures in those two areas (it has been in the minus but improving in previous years).

With the Siteminder share price down more than 60% in the past six months, I think this is a great time to invest.

DroneShield Ltd (ASX: DRO) shares are trading higher after the company announced that it had opened its new European headquarters in Amsterdam.

The company said the headquarters signified its commitment to the European region which was among its fastest-growing markets, “and provides a strengthened operational presence to support its expanding footprint across EU and NATO-aligned markets”.

Servicing a key market

DroneShield said the new headquarters would serve as the operational base for its EU Centre of Excellence, and aligned the company with the EU’s ReArm Europe Plan/Readiness 2030 initiative, “which seeks to boost military spending, strengthen industrial sovereignty, and accelerate support for Ukraine”.

The company added:

It further builds on DroneShield’s newly established European manufacturing footprint to advance sovereign counter-UAS capability, which marks a major expansion of the Company’s European industrial footprint and manufacturing capacity.

The new headquarters will be led by Louis Gamarra, who was promoted to the position of Chief Commercial Officer earlier this year.

The company said:

Mr Gamarra will oversee the continued growth of DroneShield’s commercial and operational functions across Europe, including the expansion of a dedicated in-region team. The Company’s European footprint now comprises of around a dozen staff, and benefits from a multilingual team proficient in English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, and Scandinavian languages (Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian). The team will continue to work alongside DroneShield’s robust network of European resellers, while also growing internal operations functions to support delivery to customers. The newly established European headquarters will ensure that customers receive not just leading-edge capability, but also more efficient support and deployment.

DroneShield said that in 2025, Europe was its best-performing market, accounting for $98 million in revenue and 45% of total revenue.

The company added:

As of February 2026, DroneShield has a regional pipeline valued at $1.2 billion. Geopolitical pressures, such as the Iranian conflict, ongoing war in Ukraine and repeated Russian drone incursions, continue to drive demand for deployed counter-UAS solutions across Europe and the Middle East.

Mr Gamarra said regarding the opening:

DroneShield’s investment in Benelux marks a major milestone that strengthens our ability to support frontline users, procurement agencies and industry partners across Europe. With increasing demand for counter-drone solutions across the region, our new European headquarters will allow us to deliver faster, more localised support to our EU partners. We’re proud to be investing in local talent and infrastructure to meet the growing security needs across Europe.

DroneShield shares were 1.8% higher in early trade on Monday at $3.94. Bell Potter has a $4.80 price target on the stock.

The company was valued at $3.58 billion at the close of trade on Friday.

The ASX bank share Judo Capital Holdings Ltd (ASX: JDO) could be one of the most exciting names to own in the sector, according to expert views.

After a rapid fall of the Judo share price over the last couple of months, as the chart below shows, this could be a contrarian and effective time to invest.

How bullish are analysts?

There have been seven top analysts who have given an opinion on Judo shares in the last three months, according to CMC Invest.

Of those seven ratings, all seven of them currently rate the ASX bank share as a buy.

A price target tells investors where experts think the share price will be in the next 12 months.

The average price target for those seven optimistic analyst views is $2.28, suggesting a possible 58% rise in the next year (at the time of writing).

That’s just an average view of all the analysts – the lowest price target is $2.05, which suggests a possible rise of 42%. The most optimistic price target is $2.50, implying a potential 73% increase in the next year.

How fast is the ASX bank share growing?

The business is rapidly growing, which could help justify the Judo share price rise in the coming years, though volatility could persist in the short term.

In the first six months to 31 December 2025, Judo’s gross loans and acceptances (GLA) rose 15% year over year to $13.4 billion, while deposits increased 21% to $10.9 billion.

Judo highlighted that it delivered continued above-system growth, which essentially means it’s gaining market share.

The profitability of its lending, as measured by the net interest margin (NIM), grew 22 basis points (0.22%) year over year to 3.03%, though it was flat compared to the second half of FY25.

All of those positive numbers led to good, profitable growth numbers for the ASX bank share. The profit before tax (PBT) rose 53% to $86.5 million, and statutory net profit grew 46% year over year to $59.9 million.

Pleasingly, the return on equity (ROE) is regularly improving, which tells investors how much profit it’s making on the retained shareholder money within the business. A growing ROE suggests that further scaling of the business will lead to even stronger profitability at the business.

Its ROE was 5.1% in HY25, 5.5% in the second half of FY25, and 6.9% in the first half of FY26.

For FY26, the business is aiming for a PBT of between $180 million and $190 million, suggesting another good year of profit growth for the bank.

Further profit improvement is expected by the business as it reaches ‘at scale’ – ROE is expected to reach low to mid-teen ROE, while its cost-to-income (CTI) ratio is expected to improve from less than 50% in FY26 to “approaching 30%” in the long term.

Overall, the ASX bank share has a very promising future, and it could be one to watch.

Your 50s are a critical point when you need to start fine-tuning your retirement strategy. You need to focus your attention to paying off debts, paying off your mortgage, and maximising your superannuation.

By age 60 you need to have a plan in place. Perhaps you want to retire in a few years time? Or perhaps you’re happy to work (even just part-time) into your 70s?

Here’s a breakdown of how much superannuation the average Aussie has saved by age 50, 60 and 70. 

And then a breakdown of how much you actually need at each of those ages to be able to live a comfortable retirement lifestyle. Because the numbers aren’t the same.

What is the average superannuation balance at age 50?

According to data from the Association of Superannuation Funds (ASFA), the average superannuation balance for a 50 to 54 year old male is $254.071, and for a female it’s $190,175.

What is the average superannuation balance at age 60?

For the 60 to 64 year olds, the average superannuation balance is $395,852 for men and $313,360 for women.

What is the average superannuation balance at age 70?

For 70 to 74 year olds, the average superannuation balance is $501,785 for men and $449,540 for women.

How do those figures compare to what I actually need at age 50, 60 and 70?

Even if you’re on track with the average Australian and their superannuation balance, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have enough to live a comfortable retirement when the time comes. 

The problem is that compulsory employer superannuation contributions aren’t enough. 

The Super Guarantee helps Aussies build savings for retirement, but it will never be able to fund the lifestyle that they want. This is especially the case while the cost of living continues to accelerate.

At the same time, many Australians think that because their superannuation is invested in a diversified portfolio, which is often benchmarked to broad market indices like the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO), it’ll look after itself.

According to ASFA data, a comfortable retirement is expected to cost approximately $54,840 per year for individuals and $77,375 per year for couples.

That lifestyle requires a superannuation balance of around $630,000 for a single person, or $730,000 for a couple.

In order to reach that figure, you’d need a balance of $313,500 at age 50.

And then by age 60 your balance would need to increase to $496,500.

By your late 60s to early-70s, you need to be at or close to your superannuation goal of $630,000 to $730,000 (for a couple) if you want to retire comfortably.

I think it is fair to say that periods of market volatility can be unsettling, but they also tend to create opportunities for long-term investors.

The recent selloff has hit growth sectors particularly hard, with technology and global equities seeing sharp declines.

While the short-term outlook may remain uncertain, history suggests that buying quality assets during periods of weakness can be a smart move for patient investors.

For those looking to take advantage, here are three ASX exchange traded funds (ETFs) to consider buying after the pullback.

BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

The Nasdaq 100 has been one of the biggest casualties of the recent selloff, as investors reassess valuations and growth expectations.

While this is disappointing given the popularity of the fund, it could be an opportunity to buy some of the most powerful companies in the world at a more attractive price. Its holdings include iPhone and MacBook maker Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), software giant Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), artificial intelligence (AI) chip leader Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), and electric vehicle giant Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA).

While sentiment could remain weak in the very near term, there’s no doubting that the future of these high-quality companies is very bright.

Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)

For investors wanting broad diversification, the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF could be the one.

It offers exposure to over one thousand companies across developed markets. Its top holdings include Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), LVMH (FRA: MOH), and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG).

Rather than focusing on a single theme, this ETF spreads risk across multiple sectors and regions, including healthcare, financials, and consumer goods.

Following the recent pullback in global equities, now could be a good time to snap up the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF and gain diversified exposure to high-quality international companies at more reasonable valuations.

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

Cybersecurity is another area that has seen heightened volatility this year.

The BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF provides investors with exposure to companies that are keeping us and our data safe on the internet. This includes the likes of CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), and Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT).

As more businesses move online and digital infrastructure becomes more critical, the need for cybersecurity is only expected to grow. This bodes well for the fund’s holdings.

Overall, recent weakness could have created a compelling opportunity for investors looking to buy into a long-term growth theme after the selloff.

ASX tech stocks have taken a serious hit over the past six months — and investors have clearly been in risk-off mode.

Shares in WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC) have plunged 59%, while NextDC Ltd (ASX: NXT) is down around 34%. That’s a sharp pullback for a sector that once led the market higher.

But this sell-off may have opened the door for savvy investors. With ongoing Middle East conflict, elevated interest rates, and rising concerns about AI disruption, many have rotated into defensive shares. In the process, ASX tech stocks are now shaping up as one of the most undervalued areas of the market — and potentially one of the most exciting.

So, could now be the time to put $5,000 to work? Two names that stand out right now are WiseTech Global and NextDC.

Wisetech: Dominant in global logistics

Starting with WiseTech, the ASX stock remains a dominant force in global logistics software. Its CargoWise platform is deeply embedded in international supply chains, giving it strong pricing power and high switching costs — the kind of competitive advantages investors love.

The long-term growth story also looks compelling, with global trade continuing to digitise. Of course, there are risks. The company has faced concerns around growth momentum and execution, particularly as it expands via acquisitions.

And like many ASX tech stocks, it has been caught in the crossfire of higher interest rates compressing valuations.

But analysts remain optimistic. Citi, for example, has a $65.35 price target on WiseTech shares — roughly 70% above current levels — suggesting the recent sell-off could be overdone.

NextDC: In the centre of digital boom

Turning to NextDC, this $7 billion ASX tech stock is right at the centre of Australia’s digital infrastructure boom.

As demand for cloud services, AI computing, and data storage continues to surge, its data centres are becoming increasingly essential. The business also benefits from long-term contracts and recurring revenue streams, which provide a solid base for future growth.

Still, it’s not without challenges. Data centres require heavy capital investment, and expansion can weigh on near-term earnings. Funding conditions and competition are also factors to watch.

Even so, brokers are upbeat. Morgans is firmly in the bullish camp, with a buy rating and a $20.50 price target on the ASX tech share. That points to a 79% upside over the next 12 months.

Foolish Takeaway

ASX tech stocks may be out of favour today, but that’s often when the biggest opportunities emerge.

WiseTech and NextDC are trading well below recent highs and are both backed by strong long-term tailwinds. They could be worth considering if you’re looking to invest $5,000 in the current market.

It’s interesting when one expert rates an ASX share as a buy. But, it’s very intriguing when multiple analysts have a buy rating on that business.

A lot has happened in the last few weeks as a result of the Middle East events, one of which is ASX share market valuations taking a hit.

When share prices fall, it’s a good idea to look for opportunities that could deliver market-beating returns over the long-term. With that in mind, let’s look at two of the most well-liked ASX shares by analysts.

Life360 Inc (ASX: 360)

Life360 describes itself as a family connection and safety company, keeping people close to people, pets and things they care about most, with a range of services, including location sharing, safe driver reports, and crash detection with emergency dispatch.

Impressively, the business serves approximately 95.8 million monthly active users (MAU) across more than 180 countries.

According to CMC Invest, there are currently seven buy ratings on the ASX share, with an average price target of $32.80. That implies a possible rise of around 70% over the next year.

The company is growing at a very pleasing pace – compounding is a powerful financial force.

Life360 reported that in the fourth quarter of 2025, revenue increased 26% year-over-year to $146 million, while annualised monthly revenue (AMR) rose 30% to $478 million.

Those excellent levels of growth were partly driven by the fact that total MAU grew 20% year-over-year, with global paying circles increasing 26% to 2.8 million.

The paying circle growth is being driven by both the US (with 23% growth to 2 million) and internationally (with 32% growth to 0.8 million).

The company is also increasing prices, which is helping drive the average revenue per paying circle (ARPPC) – this increased by 6% year-over-year to $139.54.

Most importantly, the revenue growth is turning into rising profit, which is the key driver of increasing the intrinsic value of a business. In the 2025 fourth quarter, adjusted operating profit (EBITDA) grew 53% to $32.4 million.

Sigma Healthcare Ltd (ASX: SIG)

The company has multiple brands – Chemist Warehouse, Amcal and Discount Drug Stores. It supports Australia’s largest retail network of franchised pharmacies, with more than 880 franchised pharmacies.

According to CMC Invest, there are currently six buy ratings on the business. The average price target on the ASX share is $3.25, suggesting a possible rise of 24% over the next year.

Going forward, Chemist Warehouse will be the key earnings driver of the business due to its scale and growth plans.

In the FY26 half-year result, the company’s revenue grew by 14.9% to $5.5 billion, normalised operating profit (EBIT) grew 18.7% to $582.9 million and normalised net profit jumped 19.2% to $392 million.

Those numbers were largely driven by Australian Chemist Warehouse-branded stores, with sales growth of 17.2%.

In the first half of FY26, it reached 550 Australian Chemist Warehouse stores and 97 international Chemist Warehouse stores, this represented an increase from 537 Australian locations and 86 international locations at the end of FY25. Currently, international growth is focused in New Zealand and Ireland.

Through a combination of strong comparable store sales, ongoing store network expansion in Australia and overseas, and rising profit margins, it seems the ASX share is on track for a very compelling future.

According to the forecast on CMC Invest, the Sigma Healthcare share price is valued at 29x FY28’s estimated earnings.

The Greatland Resources Ltd  (ASX: GGP) share price is in focus today as the company reported a 150% increase in Telfer’s gold Mineral Resources to 8.0 million ounces, with combined Telfer and Havieron resources now totalling 14.9 million ounces of gold and 645 thousand tonnes of copper.

What did Greatland Resources report?

• Telfer Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) rose by 4.8Moz to 8.0Moz (+150%) at a discovery cost of $5/oz
• Measured and Indicated Resource at Telfer up 163% to 3.8Moz gold
• Combined Telfer and Havieron resources now total 14.9Moz gold and 645kt copper
• Maiden West Dome Underground resource of 0.6Moz gold, with scope for further growth
• West Dome Open Pit resource increased 135% to 4.9Moz gold
• Record drilling campaign of 134,000m incorporated, with >100,000m more planned for H2 FY26

What else do investors need to know?

Greatland’s updated December 2025 Group Mineral Resource Estimate reflects a period of accelerated growth following significant new drilling since its last update. The company continued to advance the Telfer operation, supported by a strong drilling pipeline and the addition of high-grade underground resources.

The upgraded Measured and Indicated Resources boost Greatland’s ability to move more material into future ore reserve estimates, providing greater confidence in mine planning. Cost and revenue assumptions were updated using 2025 actuals and conservative metal price assumptions, indicating a robust economic base.

What did Greatland Resources management say?

Managing Director Shaun Day said:

Telfer and Havieron’s combined resource of 550Mt @ 0.84g/t Au & 0.12% Cu for 14.9Moz Au & 645Kt Cu has the potential to underpin a multi-decade, world class mining hub. Our investment in significantly increased drilling has delivered substantial organic growth, with the overall Telfer resource growing by 150% to 8.0Moz, and the higher confidence Measured and Indicated component by 163% to 3.8Moz.

What’s next for Greatland Resources?

With substantial increases in both the total resource and confidence classification, Greatland now plans to update the Telfer Ore Reserve Estimate in the June 2026 quarter. The focus will shift to advancing higher-grade zones, such as the West Dome Underground and Main Dome sub-level cave.

An ongoing record drilling program is set to continue through the second half of FY26 into FY27, aiming to further grow and upgrade resources for potential development and long-term operation.

Greatland Resources share price snapshot

Over the past 12 months, Greatland Resources shares have risen 34%, outperforming the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) which has risen 9% over the same period.

The ASX dividend stock Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP) is one of the leading opportunities for passive income on the ASX right now, in my view. It’s down close to 20% from its 52-week high, as the chart below shows.

It makes sense why a real estate investment trust (REIT) would fall at a time like this. Higher oil prices are expected to lead to higher inflation and require higher interest rates.

Higher interest rates could mean higher costing debt and a headwind for property prices.

But, I expect that interest rates to lower again in the future (as occurred in 2022). The timing is less clear – we’ll just have to see how long it takes for inflation to return to the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) target range.

At this lower price, I think the ASX dividend stock is a great long-term buy for a few reasons.

Stronger dividend yield

I get excited when share prices go down because it usually means a better dividend yield for investors.

For example, if a business has a distribution yield of 5% and the share price falls 10%, the yield becomes 5.5%.

As I mentioned earlier, the Centuria Industrial REIT unit price has declined by around 20% since its 52-week high towards the end of last year.

It’s expecting to grow its FY26 annual distribution by 3% to 16.8 cents per unit. At the time of writing, that translates into a distribution yield of 5.75%. It’s possible that the yield could go even higher in the coming days or weeks, but I think this is a great yield to take advantage of today.

Cheaper valuation

I like getting a better yield, but I also like buying at a cheaper price because it means buying the underlying properties at a cheaper valuation. These conditions likely to deliver better to capital growth over time.

It’s hard to know exactly how much the property portfolio is worth without the business selling all of its real estate, which it obviously isn’t going to do.

But, the business provides a net tangible asset (NTA) figure every six months. This gives investors a reading on its underlying overall value.

At 31 December 2025, the ASX dividend stock reported that it had a NTA of $3.95. At the time of writing, it’s trading at 26% discount to the figure.

Excellent rental demand tailwinds

One of the main reasons to like this business (particularly at the lower valuation) is the attractive rental growth that it’s generating, which can justify an increase in real estate prices over time.

Industrial land is increasingly in demand because of a number of tailwinds including a growing population, increased e-commerce adoption, fresh food and pharmaceutical demand (with refrigerated facilities), increasing data centre demand, onshoring of supply chains and a limited supply of new industrial facilities.

It’s the strong growth of rent in recent years that has led to the ASX dividend stock saying that its portfolio is 20% under-rented. In other words, when its properties come up for renewal, it could lead to a significant boost in the rental income.

The business is already experiencing that effect – in the FY26 first half, it reported like-for-like net operating income (NOI) of 5.1%. It’s expecting its net rental profit per unit to increase by up to 6% in FY26. That’s a great sign for the long-term, in my view.
