Chrysos Corporation Ltd (ASX: C79)
According to a note out of Bell Potter, its analysts upgraded this mining technology company's shares to a buy rating with an improved price target of $9.40. This followed the release of a trading update from Chrysos' annual general meeting. Bell Potter noted that Chrysos started FY 2026 strongly and reported a 54% increase in revenue year to date. This was ahead of the broker's estimates. Looking ahead, Bell Potter believes that this trend can continue. It points out that Chrysos' industry adoption has accelerated over the past 12 months with the signing of the master services agreement with Newmont Corporation (ASX: NEM) and the broadening of relationships with commercial lab operators. In addition, Bell Potter believes the exploration upcycle should deliver further upside, which could lead to Chrysos comfortably outperforming its EBITDA guidance this year. The Chrysos share price is trading at $7.31 this afternoon.
Megaport Ltd (ASX: MP1)
A note out of Macquarie revealed that its analysts retained their outperform rating on this network solutions company's shares with an increased price target of $21.70. Macquarie noted that the recent acquisition of India-based Latitude expands its immediate addressable share of customer wallet. The broker points out that customers already consume compute products, but Megaport has not historically sold compute. As a result, Latitude's product offering is highly complementary to the existing product set and offers a direct position in a large and fast-growing end market. It estimates that Bare Metal as a Service (BMaaS) is a large, end market currently worth US$15 billion, and growing rapidly. Combined with the stabilisation of its core revenue, Macquarie believes this leaves Megaport well-placed for long term growth. The Megaport share price is fetching $12.21 at the time of writing.
Zip Co Ltd (ASX: ZIP)
Another note out of Macquarie revealed that its analysts retained their outperform rating and $4.85 price target on this buy now pay later provider's shares. The broker thinks that Zip will deliver on its net transaction margin guidance in FY 2026 despite elevated loss rates that are being caused by its accelerating total transaction value (TTV) growth. Outside this, Macquarie is forecasting Zip to continue to deliver rapid growth supported by increased product adoption, expansion of its merchant network, increased customer engagement, and digital product innovation. The Zip share price is trading at $3.22 on Wednesday afternoon.
