BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP)

According to a note out of Goldman Sachs, its analysts have retained their buy rating on the Big Australian's shares with a trimmed price target of $49.40. This follows the release of a slightly weaker than expected second quarter update from the mining giant last week. Although Goldman wasn't overly impressed with the update, it has seen enough to remain positive. The broker also continues to forecast an attractive 5% dividend yield for investors in FY 2024. The BHP share price was trading at $45.73 on Friday.

IGO Ltd (ASX: IGO)

Another note out of Goldman Sachs reveals that its analysts have retained their buy rating on this battery materials producer's shares with a reduced price target of $9.70. Goldman believes that IGO remains a good option for investors even while lithium prices are falling. It highlights that its low costs leave it well-placed to navigate the tough operating environment. Goldman also feels that it is unlikely that ongoing sales curtailments will continue beyond March. The IGO share price was fetching $7.20 at Friday's close.

ResMed Inc. (ASX: RMD)

Analysts at Citi have retained their buy rating and $29.00 price target on the sleep treatment company's shares. Ahead of the release of ResMed's second quarter update next week, the broker is feeling confident. It is forecasting strong revenue growth across ResMed's devices, masks, and software despite the emergence of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic. The ResMed share price ended the week at $26.39.
