ANZ Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: ANZ)
Sanlam Private Wealth has named ANZ shares as a sell this week.
Although the big four bank has been performing well, it is concerned that higher interest rates could lead to mortgage and credit card holders struggling to keep up with repayments. It said:
The bank delivered a cash profit of $3.780 billion in the first half of 2026, up 14 per cent, excluding significant items, on the second half of 2025. Return on equity was up 149 basis points. The company posted an interim dividend of 83 cents a share, with franking increased to 75 per cent. The company's share price has performed well in the past 12 months. Our concern is higher interest rates potentially increasing provisions as mortgage and credit card holders struggle to meet increasing repayments in a weaker economy. It may be prudent to trim holdings and take some profits.
Eagers Automotive Ltd (ASX: APE)
The team at Capital Wealth has named this auto retailer as an ASX share to buy this week.
It believes the company is well-placed to benefit from growing electric vehicle demand. It explains:
Eagers is Australia's largest automotive retailer. In recent months, APE has benefited from a sharp uplift in electric vehicle demand, with EV sales across Australia booming in March. APE posted revenue of $13 billion in full year 2025, up 16.5 per cent on the prior corresponding period. The company grew its share in the new vehicle market to 13.9 per cent, up from 11.5 per cent in full year 2024. Elevated fuel prices and ongoing dealership acquisitions support increased exposure to APE.
Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW)
Capital Wealth is feeling less positive on this supermarket giant. It has named Woolworths shares as a hold this week.
Although it sees positives in Woolworths, it has concerns with the tough consumer backdrop. Capital Wealth said:
Food retail sales were up 5.9 per cent in the third quarter of 2026 when compared to the prior corresponding period. However, food earnings before interest and tax growth guidance is expected to be in the mid-to-high single digit range, but no longer at the upper end of the range. While scale and defensive earnings remain strengths, possible margin pressure and cautious consumer sentiment temper near‑term upside, supporting a hold for now.
