Two ASX All Ords shares getting broker upgrades
The first ASX All Ords shares earning a broker upgrade today is Infomedia Ltd (ASX: IFM), a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider for the auto parts and servicing industry.
The Infomedia share price has been on a downward trend since 10 April but remains up 9.0% in 2024.
Shares are down 1.75% today, trading for $1.57 apiece. At that price, Infomedia shares trade on a fully franked trailing dividend yield of 2.6%.
Bell Potter sees significant upside potential for the company. The broker raised Infomedia shares to a buy rating with a $1.90 price target. That's 21% above current levels.
The second ASX All Ords share getting a broker upgrade is Cooper Energy Ltd (ASX: COE).
Shares in the oil and gas stock are getting hammered today, down 8.2%, trading for 20 cents apiece.
This follows a 4.4% fall yesterday when Cooper Energy released an investor briefing.
On the positive front, the company reaffirmed its FY 2024 guidance. Management is forecasting production of 60.5 TJe/d to 64.0 TJe/d, with production expenses to fall between $57 million and $63 million. Capital expenditure is expected to be $240 million to $280 million.
Canaccord appears to believe the big two-day sell-off is unwarranted. The broker raised Cooper Energy to a buy rating with a 28-cent price target. That represents a potential 40% upside from current levels.
Despite the recent retrace, the ASX All Ords share remains up 57.7% in 2024.
And one stock downgraded
Which brings us to the ASX All Ords share getting a broker downgrade, Whitehaven Coal Ltd (ASX: WHC).
Shares in the ASX coal stock are taking a beating today, down 2.9% to $8.01 apiece.
Longer-term, the Whitehaven share price is up an impressive 37.8% over 12 months. The coal miner also pays some juicy dividends. At the current price, this ASX All Ords share trades on a fully franked dividend yield of 6.1%.
While CSLA cut Whitehaven to an accumulate rating, the broker's $9.70 price target represents a 21% potential upside from current levels.
