Jumbo Interactive Ltd (ASX: JIN)

According to a note out of Morgans, its analysts have retained their add rating but trimmed their price target on this lottery ticket seller's shares to $17.50. Although Jumbo fell short of Morgans' earnings estimates in FY 2022, it believes post-announcement share price weakness has created an attractive entry point for investors. Particularly given the company's positive long term outlook thanks to the shift online and its large opportunity as a software-as-a-service provider. The Jumbo share price is trading at $13.03 today.

Rio Tinto Limited (ASX: RIO)

A note out of Citi reveals that its analysts have retained their buy rating but cut their price target on this mining giant's shares to $120.00. Although Citi wasn't overly impressed with Rio Tinto's second quarter performance, it sees plenty of value and double-digit dividend yields on offer with its shares. In light of this, the broker holds firm with its positive rating. The Rio Tinto share price is trading at $95.11 on Monday afternoon.

WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)

Analysts at Ord Minnett have retained their buy rating but trimmed their price target on this logistic solutions company's shares to $50.50. The broker believes that the company's upgraded earnings guidance highlights its successful focus on costs amid slowing container volumes. And while it acknowledges that moderating global container volumes could be a headwind, Ord Minnett sees further cost saving opportunities with the company's legacy platforms. The WiseTech share price is trading at $46.95 today.
