Mineral Resources Ltd (ASX: MIN)

The Mineral Resources share price is $64.27, down 0.6% today and up 74% over 12 months. 

Bell Potter has a buy rating on this ASX 200 mining share. 

Analyst James Williamson said: 

MIN reported record FY26 underlying EBITDA of $2.6b (BPe $2.5b; VA cons. $2.5b) and underlying NPAT of $822m (BPe $774m; VA consensus $765m). Statutory NPAT was $1.2b (BPe $1.1b; VA cons. $966m) with $393m non-recurring items.

Completion of the US$765m MIN-POSCO lithium transaction will accelerate balance sheet deleveraging paired with strong cash flows from iron ore and lithium operations.

MIN's mining services platform delivers a stable earnings stream that is expected to expand with internal and third-party volume growth.

The company is strongly positioned to execute its next phase of growth, having reinstated dividends.

Ansell Ltd (ASX: ANN)

The Ansell share price is $40.52, down 0.6% today and up 17% over 12 months. 

Morgans has a hold rating on this ASX 200 healthcare share

The broker said: 

FY26 result was strong, with adjusted EPS of US148.6c (+18%) at the top end of guidance, with adjusted EBIT of US$322m (+15% organic cc) above our forecast.

Importantly, 2H adjusted sales growth accelerated to 9.2%, with volumes improving providing some evidence that volume recovery is emerging.

While FY27 EPS guidance of US158-170c (6-14%) looks solid, the majority of gains comes from FX and buybacks rather than operating earnings, with sustainability of Healthcare growth and Industrial margins yet to be proven.

We increase FY27-28 EPS forecasts up to 5.9%, with our DCF/SOTP price target increasing to A$37.85.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA)

The CBA share price is $160.25, up 0.2% today and down 5% over 12 months. 

Remo Greco from Sanlam Private Wealth has a sell rating on this ASX 200 bank share

On The Bull this week, Greco said:   

This leading Australian bank posted cash net profit after tax of $10.982 billion in full year 2026, up 7 per cent on the prior corresponding period.

Revenue from ordinary activities of $30.153 billion was up 7 per cent. Investors are concerned about slowing housing credit growth.

Home loan applications fell about 15 per cent since the federal budget in May and the company's full year result in August.

Mortgage competition remains elevated. Investors may want to consider cashing in some gains until a clearer picture emerges about the state of Australia's housing market, the outlook for interest rates and the broader outlook for credit growth moving forward.
