Breville Group Ltd (ASX: BRG)
According to a note out of Macquarie, its analysts have retained their outperform rating on this appliance manufacturer's shares with a trimmed price target of $37.10. The broker has been looking at industry data and believes it points to an outperformance compared to peers. It notes that this is being driven by growth from its coffee business, as well as new products and new markets. Macquarie believes that this supports its forecast for annual growth of 10%+ through to FY 2028. The Breville share price is trading at $25.85 on Monday morning.
Hub24 Ltd (ASX: HUB)
Another note out of Macquarie reveals that its analysts have upgraded this investment platform provider's shares to an outperform rating with a reduced price target of $92.25. Macquarie has become bullish on Hub24 following a recent material derating on concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) disruption and broader Middle East conflict-related selling. It notes that this has left its shares trading at a sizeable discount to five-year average multiples. The broker believes that this has created a buying opportunity for investors and expects Hub24 to continue to take market share over the next one to two years. The broker thinks AI disruption concerns are overblown and is expecting Hub24 to deliver annual earnings growth of more than 20% over the medium term. The Hub24 share price is fetching $78.35 at the time of writing.
JB Hi-Fi Ltd (ASX: JBH)
Analysts at Bell Potter have retained their buy rating on this retail giant's shares with a reduced price target of $90.00. According to the note, the broker sees some defensiveness in JB Hi-Fi with the semi-discretionary characteristics as stretched consumer wallets take a larger share in technology products. As a result, it retains its view of JB Hi-Fi as one of the key preferences within its sector coverage. Bell Potter also highlights that the company's shares are trading at an 18-month low on a ~17x estimated FY 2026 earnings. As a result, it sees valuation support considering the relative defensiveness and margin levers in the business model. The JB Hi-Fi share price is trading at $71.86 on Monday.
