Stock Tips: There’s no such thing as bad pizza… right?

It’s no easy gig analysing share prices and company performance but somebody’s got to do it. Every week two experts from our Share Tips columnist pool give us their recommendations. 

Chris Watt – Bell Potter Securities

BUY 

CSL (ASX:CSL)

CSL offers compelling value, trading at a significant discount (32%) to its historical average PE ratio. Recent regulatory headwinds in the US flu vaccine market are considered short-term, and long-term growth fundamentals remain strong.

Hub24 (ASX:HUB)

HUB24 is positioned for substantial growth driven by strong market movements and increased net inflows, reflecting a compelling technology proposition. Earnings forecasts are upgraded, supporting a robust outlook for multi-year growth.

HOLD

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises (ASX:DMP)

DMP remains a hold due to uncertainty around sales recovery and franchisee earnings stability. Despite attractive potential stock return off current lows, the turnaround strategy relies heavily on cost savings, which introduces execution risk.

Pro Medicus (ASX:PME)

Strong revenue visibility and contract growth provide stability, although recent valuation gains have priced in much of the near-term upside. Earnings revisions are minor, limiting immediate upside.

SELL

Transurban Group (ASX:TCL)

Despite steady earnings growth, TCL’s upside is constrained by higher net interest costs and limited capacity expansion.

Lynas Rare Earths (ASX:LYC)

High optimism and geopolitical hedging have inflated LYC’s valuation beyond fundamentals. Production growth delays and rising operating costs exacerbate near-term pressures.

Sean Conlan – Leyland Private Asset Management

BUY

WiseTech Global (ASX:WTC)

We expect the E2open acquisition to accelerate Cargowise’s growth by enhancing its freight-forwarder solutions and expanding into the beneficial cargo-owner segment.

Symal Group Ltd (SYL)

SYL is a vertically integrated construction business with exposure to data centres, renewables and defence sectors, with clear growth opportunities and a strong balance sheet.

HOLD

Ramsay Health Care (ASX:RHC)

We see a potential in specie distribution of RHC’s holding of Ramsay Sante as a re-rating catalyst. However, the timing and outcomes as part of management’s review remain uncertain.

Medibank Private (ASX:MPL)

We expect MPL to continue to control costs and deliver robust margins in its core Health Insurance division. MPL is a solid defensive, with some potential upside left.

SELL

Reece (ASX:REH)

Continued market softness across ANZ and US and heightened competition in the US have weighed on performance. The tariff context adds a layer of uncertainty to US market conditions.

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises (ASX:DMP)

Management is relying on improved execution as a key to turning the business around, however given recent performance and franchisee profitability challenges, this may not be an easy task to address.
