Boss Energy Ltd (ASX: BOE)

According to a note out of Macquarie, its analysts have retained their outperform rating and $5 price target on this uranium developer's shares. Macquarie was pleased to see the company sign its maiden sales contract this week. And with its first production due very shortly, it won't be long until the company is able to take advantage of strong uranium prices. The Boss Energy share price is trading at $4.26 this afternoon.

Delta Lithium Ltd (ASX: DLI)

A note out of Bell Potter reveals that its analysts have retained their speculative buy rating on this lithium explorer's shares with a reduced price target of 85 cents. The broker notes that its shares have pulled back recently, creating a buying opportunity. It sees an upside in 2024 thanks to potential re-valuation catalysts from Yinnetharra exploration, forecast improvements in lithium prices, and the possibility of further M&A activity. The Delta Lithium share price is trading at 46 cents on Friday.

Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS)

Another note out of Macquarie reveals that its analysts have retained their outperform rating on this lithium miner's shares but have slashed their price target down to $4.40. After remaining defiant on lithium prices all year, Macquarie has now conceded that prices will be lower than it previously forecast for a number of years due to a surplus of the battery-making ingredient. Nevertheless, Pilbara Minerals remains its top pick in the sector and it still sees meaningful value in its shares at current levels. The Pilbara Minerals share price is fetching $3.79 today.
