The All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) is trading in the red on Tuesday morning, down 0.2% at the time of writing. But the index has climbed just over 7% higher in the past month as Australian sharemarkets regain some momentum.

Here are three ASX shares tipped to keep going, and brokers tip upsides of 100% or higher over the next 12 months.

Myer Holdings Ltd (ASX: MYR)

Myer shares have been dragged down by inflation woes and market volatility so far in 2026. The latest downturn comes directly off the back of operational issues and profitability headwinds in late 2025. But the ASX retailer posted solid first-half financial results in March, which implies that the business has its operating costs under control and its strategic initiatives are gaining traction. At the current trading price of just 29 cents a piece, brokers widely view the ASX shares as oversold and undervalued. Market Index data shows most brokers have a strong buy rating on the shares and tip an average 100% upside to 58 cents per share over the next 12 months.

Lotus Resources Ltd (ASX: LOT)

Lotus shares spiked at an 18-month high of $3.24 in mid January, and then crashed over 62% to an all-time low of $1.23 in late March. The Australian uranium company with interests in Malawi, Africa, completed a $76 million capital raising in February to help strengthen its balance sheet after a tough period. Investors quickly became concerned that the company could be unable to deliver profits without needing more cash. But sentiment shifted when the uranium company announced a new milestone. Orano Chimie-Enrichissement has confirmed that it will accept the uranium ore concentrate from Lotus' Kayelekera Uranium Mine. At the time of writing, the ASX shares are up 1.4% to $1.58, and brokers tip another 101.13% upside ahead to an average target price of $3.32.

Qoria Ltd (ASX: QOR)

Qoria is a small-cap cybersecurity company that offers online safety technology for children. This includes school and parental controls. Qoria aims to become the global leader in children's digital safety and well-being within three years. The ASX company reached 30 million students in 32,000 schools and earns a significant annual recurring revenue from ongoing school contracts. In its half-year FY26 result, Qoria announced a 25% increase in revenue and a 68% hike in EBITDA. And brokers think the strong rate of expansion can continue. At the time of writing on Tuesday morning, the shares are up 3.17% to 32 cents per share. Market Index shows brokers have a consensus strong buy rating on the ASX shares and an average 69 cents target price. That implies a huge potential 111.69% upside at the time of writing.

Temple & Webster Group Ltd (ASX: TPW)

Temple & Webster is another retail company that has faced significant headwinds recently. Investors took their gains in late 2025 and early 2026 after a huge mid-year price rally. Meanwhile, over the past few months, inflation concerns have led its customers to tighten their purse strings. The company posted a strong half-year FY26 result, but seemingly missed high expectations. But its outlook is strong, and it has robust growth plans in place. The consensus is that the shares are now oversold and undervalued. At the time of writing, the ASX shares are down 0.9% to $6.61. But analysts tip an average upside of 125.3% to $14.91 over the next 12 months.

A price target tells investors where experts think the share price could go within the next year, and we're going to look at three ASX shares where analysts have put price targets on businesses that suggest they could rise by at least 75%.

Let's look at these different opportunities.

Autosports Group Ltd (ASX: ASG)

Autosports describes itself as Australia's only ASX-listed specialist prestige and luxury vehicle retailer. It has more than 80 businesses across key metropolitan markets in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Auckland.

It has new and used vehicle dealerships, motorcycle dealerships, and specialist collision repair facilities.

The business is growing strongly – in the first half of FY26, revenue grew 10.9% to $1.52 billion, normalised operating profit (EBITDA) rose 26.6% to $70.6 million, and normalised net profit before tax (NPBT) grew 74.9% to $35.3 million. In January 2026, new vehicle written orders were up 13% and service and parts revenue was up 11%.

In its FY26 half-year result, it said it was expecting further profit growth, partly because of operating leverage and the inclusion of earnings from recent acquisitions.

According to CMC Invest, there have been five buy ratings on the business, with an average price target of $4.78, suggesting a possible rise of around 100% over the next year.

Myer Holdings Ltd (ASX: MYR)

Myer is best known as a department store retailer and it also has a number of apparel brands, including Just Jeans, Jay Jays, Portmans, Dotti, Jacqui E, Sass & Bide, Marcs, and David Lawrence.

The ASX share's FY26 half-year result included growth from the inclusion of acquired apparel brands into the business. Total sales grew 24.5% to $2.28 billion and underlying net profit after tax (NPAT) increased 21.7% to $51.7 million. But, 'pro forma' net profit declined 17% because of investments in strategic initiatives.

The Myer share price dropped more than 50% in the past year and it now looks cheap according to experts.

According to CMC Invest, there have been three recent ratings on the business, with two of those being a buy and one being a hold. The average price target is 53 cents, suggesting a possible rise of well over 80%.

It's now priced at under 8x FY26's estimated earnings, according to the forecast on CMC Invest.

Beacon Lighting Group Ltd (ASX: BLX)

The third ASX share that I'm going to cover is one of the leading lighting retailers in Australia with a large retail store network as well as having commercial customers and international sales.

The Beacon Lighting share price has dropped by around 50% in the past year, which makes it look a lot cheaper today.

According to CMC Invest, there have been six recent ratings on the business, with five of those being a buy. The average price target from those ratings was $3.06, suggesting a possible rise of around 80% from where it is today.

Using the forecast on CMC Invest, the Beacon Lighting share price is valued at 13x FY26's estimated earnings.

Each state has a different school holiday period, with NSW, Queensland, and Victoria among the states commencing holidays today.

Tasmania has the latest school holiday schedule this Easter season. The school break in our smallest state runs from 18 April to 3 May.

So, here's a list of all the ASX shares due to go ex-dividend over the coming weeks through to 3 May.

In order to receive a dividend, you must own the ASX share prior to its ex-dividend date.

Ex-dividend dates give ASX investors two opportunities.

Either buy before the date to receive the dividend, or wait until ex-dividend day, when the share price will likely drop, to buy then.

But when times are tense and share prices are falling, it creates some great buying opportunities for investors to snap up ASX shares for a low price.

Here are three dirt-cheap ASX shares which have caught my eye this week. And they're all tipped to climb another 50% to 90% over the next 12 months.

Myer Holdings Ltd (ASX: MYR)

As a fashion retail stock, Myer shares are heavily impacted by market volatility and concerns about more interest rate rises. Higher cost-of-living also means Australians are tightening their purse strings and spending less. 

The ASX company has already faced profitability and operational issues. Now it is being hit with a double whammy of distribution issues and lower consumer spending.

But Myer reported a solid first-half financial result last week, including a 21.7% increase in underlying net profit and a 32.8% hike in statutory net profit for the six months ending 24th January.

The results imply that the business has its operating costs under control and its strategic initiatives are gaining traction. At just 30 cents a piece, at the time of writing, analysts think the shares are now undervalued and oversold. The ASX shares are tipped to climb 86% to 58 cents at the time of writing.

Catapult Sports Ltd (ASX: CAT)

Catapult is a global sports data and analytics company that provides real-time data to optimise athletes' performance. The tech company reported a 16% revenue uplift in the first half of FY26 and a 19% hike in its annualised contract value (ACV). It also expects more growth through the second half of FY26

Catapult is quickly gaining traction, and its recurring subscriptions means it benefits from customer retention. That translates to a higher and more stable margin. 

The ASX shares have tumbled 28% to $3.08 for the year-to-date. But analysts are tipping a turnaround. They forecast Catapult shares will climb 94% to $5.80 over the next 12 months, at the time of writing.

Ramelius Resources Ltd (ASX: RMS)

The gold explorer and producer's shares have tumbled over 25% since Israel and the US launched strikes on Iran in late-February. 

Concerns about a resurgence of inflation and renewed potential for more interest rate hikes has overshadowed gold's traditional safe-haven status. The price of gold has tumbled from an all-time high on the 1st of March, making the metal even less appealing to investors.

But the ASX gold miner has demonstrated strong production performance and consistent cash generation.

Analysts are bullish about the outlook for the ASX gold miner's shares. They tip a 56% upside to $5.59 a piece, at the time of writing.

Solid first-half result

Myer this week reported that first-half sales had jumped 24.5% to $2.279 billion. These results included the Myer Apparel Brands division for the first time.

The company said it had a record Black Friday sales period and that "total sales for the Group through December and January in line with the prior corresponding period."

The company's underlying net profit came in at $51.7 million, up 21.7%, and its statutory net profit came in at $40.3 million, up 32.8%.

Myer executive chair Elizabeth Wirth said it was a solid result.

Our 1H26 result reflects momentum across our business as we continue to implement the Myer Group Growth Strategy. Sales growth was achieved both in store and online, and our disciplined cost management allowed us to make targeted investments including in eCommerce, Marketing, Product, Merchandise and Supply Chain to deliver on our plan. The relaunched MYER one has a record 5.1 million active members, demonstrating the growing traction with our customers. The program provides valuable understanding of what our customers want and how they prefer to shop. These insights are helping inform our revamped offering across the key categories of womenswear and beauty, where we have welcomed La Mer, TOPSHOP and GAP to Myer, with more brand announcements to come.

Ms Wirth said in the second half the company would be focused on improving the loyalty program, "and continuing activities to integrate Myer Apparel Brands, as well as resetting our fashion and beauty offerings".

The company had net cash of $287 million at the end of the half.

Myer shares looking cheap

The Canaccord Genuity team said the results were "largely as expected", albeit with some softer-than-expected trading through December and January, "taking the gloss off what could have been a defining result''.

They added:

Management seemed confident in the near-term trajectory, noting multiple initiatives are now well underway and that the business has been working with a tough consumer for some time now. Brand ranging and exclusivity dynamics are progressing at pace with a statement of the day being "It's more around looking at the data and understanding where we've got trust and where we have a right to play.

The Canaccord team said the foundations of the business look firmer with operating costs under control, and an improved second half expected.

Canaccord has a price target of 73 cents on Myer shares, down from 79 cents, but still well above the current share price of 30.2 cents.

The company is currently valued at $501.9 million.

The post Which ASX retail stock could soar more than 100% if this broker is right? appeared first on The Motley Fool Australia.

Four ASX shares that have failed to follow the market higher today are listed below. Here's why they are falling:

DroneShield Ltd (ASX: DRO)

The DroneShield share price is down 5% to $3.63. This appears to have been driven by a de-escalation in Middle East tensions. Some investors may believe that this could mean less demand for counter-drone technology solutions than expected. Not even the release of an announcement has stopped its shares from falling. DroneShield announced new interoperability between its DroneSentry-C2 command-and-control software and optical sensing technologies from OpenWorks Engineering. DroneShield's chief product officer, Angus Bean, said: "Operators need clarity, not complexity. Expanding our ecosystem with additional optical sensing technologies from OpenWorks Engineering gives customers more options to tailor their deployments, while SensorFusionAI ensures all inputs are combined into a clear, operational picture."

Guzman Y Gomez Ltd (ASX: GYG)

The Guzman Y Gomez share price is down 3% to $16.75. This is despite there being no news out of the quick service restaurant operator. However, with its shares among the most shorted on the Australian share market, it is possible that short sellers have been increasing their positions and putting pressure on its share price.

Insurance Australia Group Ltd (ASX: IAG)

The IAG share price is down 1.5% to $7.32. This may have been driven by a broker note out of Morgan Stanley this morning. It has downgraded the insurance giant's shares to an underweight rating with a $6.60 price target. Morgan Stanley has concerns over AI disruption, believing that AI agents could put pressure on premiums by finding consumers better prices.

Myer Holdings Ltd (ASX: MYR)

The Myer share price is down almost 3% to 28.2 cents. This department store operator's shares were up as much as 17% today before taking an almighty U-turn. After initially responding positively to Myer's half-year results, the market appears to have seen something it didn't like. Myer reported total sales growth of 24.5% to $2,279.5 million including acquired businesses. On a pro forma basis, which adjusts for the inclusion of Apparel Brands in both periods, sales were up 2.1%. The company's underlying net profit after tax climbed 21.7% to $51.7 million, allowing the board to declare a fully franked interim dividend of 1.5 cents per share.

In early trade, the ASX 300 stock is pushing higher following the release of its half-year results.

Why is this ASX 300 stock rising today?

Myer's shares are gaining after it reported growth in both sales and earnings for the first half of FY 2026, supported by the inclusion of Myer Apparel Brands and continued execution of its growth strategy.

According to the release, total sales increased 24.5% to $2,279.5 million. On a pro forma basis, which adjusts for the inclusion of Apparel Brands in both periods, sales were up 2.1%.

Operating gross profit rose 35.1% to $886.0 million, while underlying EBIT increased 10.5% to $112.8 million.

The company's underlying net profit after tax climbed 21.7% to $51.7 million, with statutory net profit after tax up 32.8% to $40.3 million.

Myer declared a fully franked interim dividend of 1.5 cents per share, representing a payout ratio of just over 50% and a dividend yield of 5% based on yesterday's close price.

The company also ended the period with a strong balance sheet, reporting a net cash position of $287 million.

Growth strategy gaining traction

Management highlighted progress across its key strategic initiatives.

This includes growth in its MYER one loyalty program, which now has a record 5.1 million active members, as well as the launch of new exclusive brands and partnerships with global names across fashion and beauty.

The integration of Myer Apparel Brands is also progressing well, with the company targeting at least $30 million in annualised synergies.

In addition, Myer is investing in its omni-channel capabilities, with a new marketplace platform on track for launch in May.

Management commentary

Myer's executive chair, Olivia Wirth, was pleased with the half and highlighted the positive momentum across the business. She said:

Our 1H26 result reflects momentum across our business as we continue to implement the Myer Group Growth Strategy. Sales growth was achieved both in store and online, and our disciplined cost management allowed us to make targeted investments including in eCommerce, Marketing, Product, Merchandise and Supply Chain to deliver on our plan.

We achieved our biggest Black Friday on record for Myer Retail, and total sales for the Group through the important trading months of December and January were in line with last year – a good outcome that demonstrates the resilience of the business.

Outlook

The ASX 300 stock provided a trading update with its results, revealing that total sales for the first seven weeks of the second half are up 1.7% compared to the prior corresponding period, with Myer Retail sales up 2.2%.

Looking ahead, Wirth is cautiously optimistic on the company's prospects in the second half, while acknowledging the challenging retail environment. She said:

Looking to the second half, we are excited about building on the Myer Exclusive Brands relaunch, introducing ongoing improvements and enhancements to our MYER one loyalty program, and continuing activities to integrate Myer Apparel Brands, as well as resetting our fashion and beauty offerings."

Given the current volatility in the wider macroeconomic environment and the ongoing pressures on discretionary spending, we are more focused than ever on delivering value for our customers. That's why we are continuing to deliver the right products and brands for the right value and price, focusing on managing our costs and accelerating the momentum of the transformation of the business.

The post Guess which ASX 300 stock is jumping 17% on strong results appeared first on The Motley Fool Australia.

Shares in the S&P/ASX 300 Index (ASX: XKO) department store owner closed the day down 3.3%, trading for 44.7 cents apiece.

For some context, the ASX 300 slipped 0.5% yesterday.

Taking a step back, Myer shares are down 51.1% over the past 12 months. And though the company paid an interim dividend of 0.5 cents a share on 20 March, management opted to suspend the final dividend payout amid slumping full year earnings and a 30% year on year decline in underlying net profits.

Yet, despite the share price halving in a year, Medallion Financial Group's Stuart Bromley is still steering clear of the ASX 300 stock (courtesy of The Bull).

Time to sell Myer shares?

"The department store giant delivered disappointing results in full year 2025, in our view," said Bromley, who has a sell recommendation on Myer shares.

According to Bromley:

Sales were weaker than expected. Earnings before interest and tax of $140.3 million, excluding significant items, were down 13.8% on the prior corresponding period. MYR didn't declare a final dividend.

Ongoing cost challenges and pressures on discretionary spending have continued to weigh on investor sentiment.

Citing concerns about those ongoing potential headwinds, Bromley concluded:

The shares have fallen from 96 cents on January 23, 2025 to trade at 48 cents on January 22, 2026. We see risk/reward skewed towards further downside rather than a stabilised rebound in the current cycle.

What's the latest from the ASX 200 retail stock?

The last price-sensitive news out from the company was released on 11 December.

Myer shares closed up 9.8% on the day, spurred by a trading update delivered during the company's annual general meeting (AGM).

Investors responded positively after Myer reported a 3% year on year increase in sales over the first 19 weeks of FY 2026.

"We've had a very encouraging start to FY 2026," Myer executive chair Olivia Wirth said on the day. "We are particularly pleased with the performance of our Myer Exclusive Brands in the Homeware and Womenswear categories, supporting the delivery of the increased sales."

The company's Homewares and Womenswear segments both achieved double-digit sales growth over the first 19 weeks of the new financial year.

On the cost front, Wirth also said that Myer was continuing to target its Cost of Doing Business (CODB) as a percentage of sales target of around 29%. Wirth noted that the company was on track to meet that target for the full FY 2026 year.

Materials is leading the 11 market sectors, up 1.73%, as ASX 200 mining shares continue their strong run.

On The Bull this week, experts revealed their views on three high-profile ASX 200 stocks.

Let's take a look.

BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP)

The BHP share price is $49.96, up 3.15% after reaching a two-year high of $50.05 in earlier trading.

Remo Greco from Sanlam Private Wealth has a buy rating on the ASX 200 iron ore giant.

Greco says:

The resources upgrade cycle continues to unfold as global growth conditions strengthen into 2026.

Expected US interest rate cuts should stimulate global growth and put downward pressure on the US dollar.

Commodity markets are already tight in terms of adequate supply, and this is already pushing mining stocks higher.

This is a global theme.

BHP fits the bill as global investors are drawn to earnings upgrades driving share price gains.

Also, investors are exposed to a currency gain if the Australian dollar strengthens during 2026.

Pro Medicus Ltd (ASX: PME)

The Pro Medicus share price is $183.98, up 1.69% on Tuesday.

Pro Medicus stock has plummeted after reaching a record $336 per share in July last year.

Stuart Bromley from Medallion Financial Group has a hold rating on this ASX 200 healthcare share.

Bromley explains:

The company retains best-in-class imaging software that should generate high margins and structural growth from a steady flow of new contract wins amid bigger and longer contract renewals with existing customers.

The significant share price retreat leaves PME as a hold, but also presents an opportunity to enter a top class business at an attractive price. 

Myer Holdings Ltd (ASX: MYR)

The Myer share price is steady at 49 cents on Tuesday.

Myer was among the worst-performing ASX stocks of 2025, losing six-tenths of its value to finish at 48 cents per share on 31 December.

Bromley has a sell rating on this ASX 200 consumer retail share.

He explains:

The department store giant delivered disappointing results in full year 2025, in our view.

Sales were weaker than expected. Earnings before interest and tax of $140.3 million, excluding significant items, were down 13.8 per cent on the prior corresponding period. MYR didn't declare a final dividend.

Ongoing cost challenges and pressures on discretionary spending have continued to weigh on investor sentiment.

We see risk/reward skewed towards further downside rather than a stabilised rebound in the current cycle.

Premier Investments derives its value from three businesses – Peter Alexander, Smiggle and a substantial stake of Breville Group Ltd (ASX: BRG).

In my view, Premier Investments could be a compelling opportunity whilst investors are cautious about the prospects of Smiggle and the US tariffs impacting Breville.

Let's look at the dividend potential of the business.

ASX dividend stock passive income payout potential

Following the sale of its apparel brands (Just Jeans, Jay Jays, Dotti and so on) to Myer Holdings Ltd (ASX: MYR), the company's net profit generation and dividend potential has been reset.

The broker UBS predicts that Premier Investments could generate net profit after tax of $143 million in the (current) 2026 financial year. That equates to potential earnings per share (EPS) of 90 cents, allowing the business to deliver projected passive income of 58 cents per share by the ASX dividend stock.

If the company does deliver that level of income to investors, it'd equate to a grossed-up dividend yield of close to 6%, including franking credits.

But, the payout is projected to steadily increase in the coming years.

UBS suggests the dividend per share could climb to 64 cents in FY27, 73 cents in FY28, 78 cents in FY29 and 84 cents in FY30.

Therefore, by FY30, investing at the current valuation could lead to a grossed-up dividend yield of almost 9%, including franking credits.

Can earnings grow as predicted?

UBS currently expects that the ASX dividend stock's net profit could climb every year between FY26 to FY30, going from $143 million to $208 million over that period, representing an increase of 45%.

The broker is estimating that Peter Alexander could grow its sales revenue by around 7% in the financial years FY26 to FY28, and then at around 4% for FY29 onwards.

UBS said consumers had upgraded their perception of Peter Alexander, from a functional product to also a gifting brand, increasing the revenue pool and the ability to sustain premium prices.

The broker believes:

Efforts to expand the addressable market into men's, kids, accessories and plus have increased category & customer participation. This expansion requires a larger store size (from ~150sqm to now ~300sqm), with refurbishments a growth driver, while store growth in ANZ continues as well as further online penetration (in ANZ & beyond).

PA's entry into the UK has commenced (3 stores) but despite very good in-store execution, performance to date is arguably below expectations noting a weak UK consumer environment and the challenge of replicating the PA ANZ brand perception in a new market.

However, Smiggle is expected to see sales fall 10% in FY26, be flat in FY27 and then deliver growth of 2% in FY28 onwards. UBS said that young families are exposed to the cost of living across all markets and it hasn't been able to expand its product categories because its customer base is set at ages 4 to 11.

But, the weakness is already recognised by the market, hence the drop of the Premier Investments share price.

UBS has a buy rating on the ASX dividend stock, with a price target of $19, suggesting a potentially significant rise during 2026.

The post 1 ASX dividend stock down 41% I'd buy right now appeared first on The Motley Fool Australia.

The All Ords outperformed the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO), which rose 6.8% and gave a total return of 10.32%.

The All Ords' superior performance can be attributed to strongly rising small caps, as we discussed earlier in the week.

Looking ahead, here are three ASX All Ords shares that the experts are backing for growth in the new year.

3 ASX All Ords shares buy-rated for 2026

Nuix Ltd (ASX: NXL)

This ASX All Ords tech share was the worst performer out of the 500 companies making up the index in 2025.

The Nuix share price crumbled 72% to finish 2025 at $1.80.

Moelis Australia is confident that the investigative analytics and intelligence software provider can bounce back in the new year.

Moelis said the current Nuix share price "undervalues the company" after the stock was oversold due to an underwhelming report.

The broker commented:

Nuix's share price has retraced significantly as recent operating performance fell below market expectations.

On our estimates the current price undervalues the company.

On Friday, Nuix shares are $1.86 apiece, down 1.5%.

The broker has a buy rating on Nuix shares with a 12-month price target of $3.37.

This implies a potential upside of 81% in the new year.

Myer Holdings Ltd (ASX: MYR)

ASX All Ords retail share Myer had a rough year in 2025.

The Myer share price fell 61% over the 12 months as consumer discretionary spending dropped, leading to a weaker profit.

Myer reported an underlying net profit of $37 million for FY25, down 30% on FY24, and a statutory net loss of $211 million due to a goodwill write-down for its new division, Apparel Brands.

Myer completed its purchase of Apparel Brands from Premier Investments Ltd (ASX: PMV) in January 2025.

Apparel Brands includes clothing labels Just Jeans, Jay Jays, Portmans, Dotti, and Jacqui E.

Myer bought the brands in exchange for 890.5 million new Myer shares, which were distributed to Premier Investments shareholders.

Morgan Stanley equity analyst Julia de Sterke thinks the Apparel Brands' integration and other factors will see Myer rebound this year.

On Friday, Myer shares are steady at 48 cents apiece.

The broker has a buy rating on Myer with a 12-month share price target of 69 cents.

This suggests a potential upside of 44% in 2026.

Hub24 Ltd (ASX: HUB)

This investment and superannuation platform provider had one of the best share price gains of the financials sector in 2025.

The Hub24 share price lifted 38% to finish the year at $96.25 per share.

Today, the Hub24 share price is $95.50, down 0.07%.

Bell Potter has a buy rating on Hub24 shares with a price target of $125.

This suggests a potential gain of 31% this year.

The All Ords outperformed the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO), which rose 6.8% and produced a total return of 10.32%.

As always, there were losers in the pack, and here we reveal the five worst ASX All Ords shares for price growth.

It's interesting to note that some brokers see four of these stocks potentially turning around in the new year.

We include their assessments here.

5 ASX All Ords shares that fell off a cliff in 2025

All five of these ASX All Ords shares lost more than half their value last year.

1. Nuix Ltd (ASX: NXL)

This ASX All Ords tech share tumbled 72% to close out 2025 at $1.80.

Nuix is an investigative analytics and intelligence software provider.

For FY25, Nuix reported an 8% increase in annualised contract value (ACV) to $228.4 million but a loss after tax of $9.2 million.

That was largely due to a significant increase in the expensed proportion of research and development (R&D) spending, plus elevated net non-operational legal costs and restructuring costs.

In a trading update in November, Nuix issued FY26 ACV guidance in the range of $240 million to $260 million.

Moelis Australia has a buy rating on Nuix shares with a 12-month price target of $3.37.

In a note, Moelis said Nuix stock "seems oversold", commenting:

Nuix's share price has retraced significantly as recent operating performance fell below market expectations.

On our estimates the current price undervalues the company.

2. Myer Holdings Ltd (ASX: MYR)

This ASX All Ords retail share fell 61% to 48 cents on 31 December.

FY25 was a shocker for the company, which booked an underlying net profit of $37 million, down 30% on FY24.

The retailer also reported a statutory net loss of $211 million due to the write-down of goodwill for the new division, Myer Apparel Brands.

Myer shares did not pay a final dividend.

Morgan Stanley equity analyst Julia de Sterke sees a turnaround opportunity from the Apparel Brands' integration and other factors.

The broker has a buy rating on Myer shares with a target of 69 cents.

3. HMC Capital Ltd (ASX: HMC)

HMC Capital shares tanked in 2025, falling 60% to $3.96 apiece.

This was despite the diversified investment company reporting strong profit growth in FY25.

FY25 pre-tax operating earnings was $224.6 million, up 74%, and pre-tax operating earnings per share (EPS) was 56 cents, up 51%.

HMC Managing Director and CEO, David Di Pilla, described FY25 as "a landmark year" and said:

This growth highlights the scalability of our business model and the strength of our diversified platform spanning real estate, private equity, private credit, digital infrastructure and energy transition.

Each of these verticals is now generating meaningful earnings while also providing strong optionality for future expansion.

Morgans has a buy rating and $4.85 price target on HMC Capital shares.

In a note, the broker said: 

The current price essentially implies that HMC is ex-growth with a questionable NTA – a view we do not share.

So, whilst re-rating of the stock remains contingent on these elements coming to fruition, we believe it to be highly achievable over the next 12 months.

4. Accent Group Ltd (ASX: AX1)

Like Myer, ASX All Ords shoe retailer Accent experienced a big share price fall in 2025.

Accent shares dropped 60% to close the year at 95 cents.

Accent owns several brands, including The Athlete's Foot, Hoka, HypeDC, Platypus, Vans, and Skechers.

For FY25, Accent reported a net profit after tax (NPAT) of $57.7 million, down 3% on FY24.

The final dividend was 1.5 cents per share, down 67% on the previous year's final dividend.

However, a positive trading update in November has brokers seeing a buying opportunity for 2026.

Goldman Sachs reiterated its buy rating on Accent shares but cut its 12-month target from $1.70 to $1.20.

5. Coronado Global Resources Inc (ASX: CRN)

This ASX All Ords coal share fell 58% over the year to finish at 32 cents on 31 December.

A persistently low metallurgical coal price was a headwind for Coronado last year.

The miner reported a realised price of US$145.10 per tonne in the third quarter of 2025, down 30% year over year.

However, the miner said its 3Q saleable production was 21% higher than for the previous quarter at 4.5 million tonnes, which was the best result since 2021.

Managing director Douglas Thompson expects an even better 4Q result due to project expansion and cost reductions.

The third quarter was the second in a row in which unit production costs came in below guidance.

In the month of September, the unit cost was US$80 per tonne.

Brokers are yet to be convinced, with many giving this ASX All Ords mining share a hold or sell rating.

Last month, UBS reiterated its sell rating but lifted its 12-month target from 19 cents to 25 cents.

Since the start of January, Myer shares have plunged by 62% to trade at $0.47 at the time of writing.

This compares with a 5.4% rise for the All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) across the same timeframe.

Not only that, but Myer shares reached a 52-week low of $0.39 each just last month, a far cry from last year's high of $1.27 per share.

Much of this weakness appears to reflect an underwhelming operating performance in recent months.

Let's take a closer look at how 2025 unravelled for the company.

What happened?

In January, a trading update rattled investors as Myer reported softer sales and a decline in operating gross profit amidst a challenging retail environment.

The market reaction was swift, with Myer shares tumbling by more than 20% on the day of the announcement.

Sentiment deteriorated further in September following the release of the company's FY25 results.

Here, Myer shares dropped by 25% on the back of a small sales increase but a significant decline in operating earnings (EBIT).

The ASX retail stock also opted not to declare a dividend, citing ongoing cost pressures and difficult retail conditions.

However, fast forward to today and investment bank Canaccord Genuity believes the outlook for Myer shares could be recovering.

Let's dive into the reasons for the broker's bullish views.

Why Myer shares could storm higher

Senior analyst at Canaccord, Allan Franklin, appeared to strike an optimistic tone following an update at Myer's AGM on Thursday last week.

The company reported that total sales for the first 19 weeks of FY26 lifted by 3% from the same time last year.

This performance marks a faster pace of growth than Canaccord's modelling.

The broker also noted that like-for-like sales for Myer Retail and Apparel Brands both showed an improvement.

According to Canaccord:

Myer's AGM commentary displayed steady progress on several fronts (engaged customers, brand curation, omni-channel execution) and pleasingly stronger-than expected YTD sales growth. Both Myer Retail and Apparel Brands look to have traded well through Oct/Nov ahead of peak trading.

Canaccord also pointed to encouraging momentum in Myer's loyalty program.

The retailer has added 475,000 new MYER one members in the first half of FY26 so far, with around half under the age of 35.

Another positive includes the expansion of Myer's partnership with Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA), allowing CommBank awards points to be transferred to MYER one.

In addition, JD Sports Fashion PLC (LSE: JD.) and The Dom adopted MYER one as their loyalty platform.

That said, Canaccord trimmed its earnings forecast for Myer shares, largely reflecting a more cautious view on the company's gross margins.

Upside potential for Myer shares

Overall, Canaccord appears positive on Myer's prospects.

The broker has retained its buy rating and set a target price of $0.79 per share.

This implies 68% upside potential from $0.47 per share at the time of writing.

Shares in the S&P/ASX 300 Index (ASX: XKO) department store owner closed yesterday trading for 41 cents. In morning trade on Thursday, shares are changing hands for 45 cents apiece, up 9.8%.

For some context, the ASX 300 is up 0.6% at this same time.

Here's what's spurring investor interest today.

Myer share price surges on strong trading update

The ASX 300 department store is grabbing plenty of interest today amid the company's annual general meeting (AGM).

Perhaps the biggest tailwind helping to lift the Myer share price today is the company's trading update, covering the first 19 weeks of FY 2026.

Addressing the meeting, Myer executive chair Olivia Wirth noted, "We've had a very encouraging start to FY 2026."

How encouraging?

Well, over the first 19 weeks of the new financial year, sales were up 3% from the same period last year. Wirth credited strong sales growth in Myer Retail, up 3.4%, for driving the improved performance.

And the department store's Homewares, Womenswear, and Concessions all achieved double-digit sales growth.

"We are particularly pleased with the performance of our Myer Exclusive Brands in the Homeware and Womenswear categories supporting the delivery of the increased sales," Wirth said.

Amid improving performance for Just Jeans, with mid-single-digit sales growth year to date, Myer Apparel Brands sales were up 1.3% year on year for the period. Myer completed its acquisition of Apparel Brands earlier this year.

The Myer share price is also likely getting a lift from the record Black Friday sales, Wirth reported.

"Pleasingly, we also had a strong lead up to Black Friday for Myer Retail, achieving our biggest Black Friday sales performance on record, driven by our Homeware and Womenswear categories," she said.

And she pointed to the "very important sales period" ahead, with seven weeks of elevated sales expected in the lead-up to the company's Christmas and Boxing Day sales.

Wirth also highlighted that in FY 2026, Myer is continuing to target its Cost of Doing Business (CODB) as a percentage of sales target of around 29%. She said the company is on track to meet this target for the full year.

How had the ASX 300 stock been tracking longer term?

Despite today's welcome lift, the Myer share price remains down 63.4% in 2025.

Shares have yet to recover from the 25% plunge suffered on 23 September following the release of the company's decidedly underwhelming FY 2025 results.

Among the disappointments of the past financial year, with underlying net profit down 30% from FY 2024, the board opted not to declare a final dividend.

The post Why is the Myer share price rocketing 10% on Thursday? appeared first on The Motley Fool Australia.

These two companies have performed very differently this year. Myer shares have fallen 65.45% in 2025. Meanwhile, Universal shares have risen a healthy 9.38%. 

Last week, broker Ord Minnett adjusted its outlook for both consumer discretionary shares. 

Lets see what the broker had to say. 

Universal Store Holdings Ltd (ASX: UNI)

Ord Minnett noted that Universal's second half 2025 net profit after tax (NPAT) was approximately 2% below consensus expectations. 

However, the broker also said the first half 2026 year-to-date trading update was tracking about 7% ahead of consensus. 

Despite this, Ord Minnett has cut its EPS forecasts for FY26–28 by 4–6% to reflect management's guidance that sales comparisons will become more challenging in the remainder of FY26. 

Universal will continue to reinvest in the business, prioritising long-term growth over short-term profits. ‍With a $17 million net cash position, expected 10% per annum EPS growth over two years, and further market share opportunities as competitors exit. 

Based on this guidance, Ord Minnett has retained its 'Accumulate' rating on Universal Store shares. It has reduced its price target to $9.60 from $9.80.

Based on yesterday's closing price of $8.86, this still indicates upside for Universal shares of approximately 8.36%. 

Myer Holdings Ltd (ASX: MYR)

Ord Minnett noted that Myer's FY25 net profit of $36.8 million was well short of expectations. 

The broker also said the company did not declare a final dividend, as surprisingly high costs of doing business (CODB) for the department store chain erased any benefit from a rebound in like-for-like (LFL) sales growth in the second half. 

The broker is also wary of costs increasing further. 

We estimate the step up in CODB in FY26 will be embedded in its cost structure at circa $15–-20 million on an annualised basis rather than being just a short-term hit.

‍We have made deep cuts to our EPS forecasts– by 30.1%, 20.7% and 14.4% for FY26, FY27 and FY28, respectively.

The broker has cut its recommendation to 'Hold' from 'Accumulate' on Myer shares and reduced its price target to $0.67 from $0.86.

Based on yesterday's closing price of $0.42, this indicates a significant upside of 59.52%. 

However, the broker said despite the apparent value in Myer there are significant risks from the Apparel Brands integration and the retailer faces a difficult task in growing LFL sales on a sustainable basis.

Following multiple RBA rate cuts in 2025 to date, the return offered by cash savings in the bank account looks noticeably weaker and less appealing.

Premier Investments, the owner of Smiggle, Peter Alexander and an investment in Breville Group Ltd (ASX: BRG), is a pleasing option for dividend income.

When a business has a solid starting dividend yield, with projections for more growth, it could be an attractive option to unlock $200 of passive income per month.

After the business delivered an annual dividend per share of 50 cents in FY25, the outlook is positive for future payout growth.

Dividend projection for FY26

Following the sale of Premier Investments' apparel brands to Myer Holdings Ltd (ASX: MYR), the business is smaller but with a greater focus on global growth potential.

Broker UBS is projecting that Premier Investments could generate earnings per share (EPS) of $1.17 in the 2026 financial year. With that profit generation, the ASX 200 stock is forecast by the broker to pay an annual dividend per share of 76 cents, representing a year-over-year increase of 52%.

I don't think many ASX 200 shares are capable of a dividend hike of more than 50% in the 2026 financial year.

At the time of writing, that payout would translate into a dividend yield of 3.9%, excluding franking credits.

Let's take a look at how that could help deliver $200 of monthly dividends.

$200 of passive income per month

Premier Investments doesn't pay a dividend every month – it typically pays every six months.

Therefore, I think it's better to think of the goal as an annual total of $2,400 and then divide it by 12.

If an investor wanted $2,400 of dividends in FY26, that would require owning 3,158 Premier Investments shares.

Investors would also receive franking credits on top of these cash dividend payments.

Pleasingly, UBS is forecasting the company's annual dividend per share could increase each year between FY26 and FY30. The projections suggest an annual dividend of 87 cents per share in FY27, 96 cents per share in FY28, $1.03 per share in FY29 and $1.09 per share in FY30.

Is this a good time to invest in the ASX 200 stock?

The broker UBS certainly thinks it is a good time to buy, with a buy rating and a price target of $24. That suggests a solid double-digit rise over the next 12 months, if the company's forecast comes true.

I'm excited by the company's potential to grow Peter Alexander earnings in both ANZ and the UK. Plus, I like the company's investment in Breville, which also provides global earnings growth exposure.

The post I'd buy 3,158 shares of this ASX 200 stock to aim for $200 a month of passive income appeared first on The Motley Fool Australia.

The retail conglomerate's shares are trading 47% lower than their 52-week high.

Though, some of this is attributable to the ASX 200 stock's divestment of its Apparel Brands to Myer Holdings Ltd (ASX: MYR).

Nevertheless, with the Smiggle and Peter Alexander owner's shares down in the dumps, is now the time to buy?

Let's see what analysts at Bell Potter are saying about this stock.

What is the broker saying about this ASX 200 stock?

The team at Bell Potter thinks that recent weakness could be a buying opportunity for investors. It notes that the company's FY 2025 results were largely in line with expectations. And while Smiggle continues to struggle, its Peter Alexander business has maintained its impressive form. It said:

Premier Investments' FY25 result was broadly in line with market expectations, with revenue a ~1% beat and Retail EBIT (Pre-AASB 16 ex-Peter Alexander UK) a ~1% miss to Consensus. The dividend returned with a beat to Consensus/BPe while the trading update for the first 6 weeks of 1H26 commenced with incremental positives.

The poor performing Smiggle brand has seen a marginal recovery at -4% on pcp for Aug-Sep (vs -5% on pcp in 2H25), while the outperforming Peter Alexander (PA) brand has maintained strong growth of +9.2% from Feb-Sep. Strong gross margins were noted however with a relatively higher OPEX base flagged with inflationary pressures.

Looking ahead, the broker has trimmed its earnings estimates to reflect its trading update. It adds:

We adjust our revenue estimates in line with the trading update as we factor in some conservatism for the comps cadence through 1H (slightly more challenging through to 2Q). […] Our gross margin assumptions see a ~40bps improvement while CODB % of sales reflects a ~30bps increase. Our underlying Retail EBIT estimates are -3.9%/-2.1%/-1.7% for FY26/27/28e.

Should you invest?

Bell Potter remains bullish on the ASX 200 stock and has retained its buy rating and $26.50 price target on its shares.

Based on its current share price, this implies potential upside of 35% for investors over the next 12 months.

In addition, the broker is forecasting a fully franked 5% dividend yield in FY 2026, which stretches the total potential return to approximately 40%.

Overall, the broker feels that its shares are undervalued compared to peers. Commenting on its buy recommendation, it said:

We view PMV as trading at a discount to our coverage, considering the Premier Retail division with two global roll-out worthy brands offering ~7% EBIT growth in FY26e and a P/E of ~12x excluding equity investments, land bank/cash while retaining a strong balance sheet supportive of M&A as attractive. Maintain BUY.

Shares in the S&P/ASX 300 Index (ASX: XKO) department store owner closed on Friday trading for 46.5 cents apiece. In morning trade on Monday, shares are changing hands for 47.0 cents apiece, up 1.1%.

For some context, the ASX 300 is up 0.7% at this same time.

Despite that welcome lift, Myer shares remain down a sharp 27% from last Monday's opening price.

Those losses were driven by the 25.0% share price crash on Tuesday, 23 September, following the release of the company's full-year FY 2025 results.

What got ASX investors spooked?

Investors were favouring their sell buttons on Tuesday after the company reported FY 2025 sales of $3.67 billion, up a slender 0.5% from FY 2025.

And Myer shares caught headwinds after earnings took a big turn for the negative, with earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of $140 million, down 13.8% year on year.

On the bottom line, underlying net profit of $37 million was down 30% year on year. And the department store owner reported a statutory net loss of $211 million. That loss was driven by the write-down of goodwill of its new division Myer Apparel Brands.

But according to Canaccord Genuity, investors may have overreacted with last week's sell-down, with the broker forecasting a big rebound ahead.

Why Myer shares could come roaring back

Allan Franklin, senior analyst at Canaccord Genuity, has a decidedly bullish outlook for Myer shares.

Franklin noted that the company's FY 2025 results "contained some new negatives, namely more heightened than expected CODB [cost of doing business] pressure and a large write-down of goodwill relating to the Apparel Brands acquisition".

However, Canaccord believes the market is missing the more positive story that's unfolding.

According to the broker:

Operating momentum in 4Q25 looked solid (Myer Retail sales +4%, Just Jeans strengthening) with gross margin execution comforting (flat OGP rate Apparel Brands albeit some compression Myer Retail).

A stronger start to 1H26E and a more robust consumer, should provide scope for solid gross profit delivery in FY26E, in our view. We have however allowed for an additional CODB relative to prior thinking, which sees downward FY26E revisions.

As for the three reasons that "anchor what should be a much larger operating profit" for Myer shares in FY 2027 and FY 2028, Canaccord's Franklin noted:

• Execution on cost synergies ($30 million annualised by 1H27E)
• A long-term solution for the company's distribution centre woes ($20 million annualised benefit by FY28E albeit with a $32 million cost to deliver)
• A targeted $10 million turnaround in SBMDL [Sass & Bide, Marcs, and David Lawrence]

Canaccord retained its buy rating on the ASX 300 retail stock with a 79-cent per share price target (down from the prior $1.05). That represents a potential upside of 68% from the current Myer share price.

Four ASX shares that are falling more than most today are listed below. Here's why they are dropping:

Amplitude Energy Ltd (ASX: AEL)

The Amplitude Energy share price is down 11% to 24 cents. Investors have been selling this energy company's shares after it raised $150 million via fully underwritten equity raising. These funds were raised at 24 cents per new share, which represents an 11.1% discount to its last close price. Amplitude Energy's managing director and CEO, Jane Norman, said: "I am very pleased with the strong support received from our existing institutional shareholders and would like to take this opportunity to welcome our new shareholders to the register. This equity raising puts us in a position to leverage our existing infrastructure and accelerate growth via the addition of the Nestor prospect to the East Coast Supply Project, alongside other accretive opportunities, primarily the restart of Patricia Baleen. These are exciting opportunities to supply lower cost domestic gas to the southeastern states where it is needed the most."

James Hardie Industries plc (ASX: JHX)

The James Hardie share price is down 5% to $28.13. This may have been driven by a broker note out of Citi this morning following the building products company's annual general meeting. Although its analysts have retained their neutral rating and $33.00 price target on the company's shares, they have warned that they suspect that James Hardie's outlook is weaker than consensus estimates indicate.

Myer Holdings Ltd (ASX: MYR)

The Myer share price is down a further 1% to 47.5 cents. This retailer's shares have come under pressure this week following the release of its FY 2025 results. Myer reported a 0.5% increase in sales and a 13.8% decline in EBIT for FY 2025. This was despite a six-month contribution from the Apparel Brands business (Just Jeans, Dotti, and others). Management notes that its profit decline reflects the inclusion of Apparel Brands being more than "offset by challenged retail conditions which impacted profitability and increased costs of doing business which affected both businesses." The Myer board elected not to pay a final dividend in FY 2025.

Tuas Ltd (ASX: TUA)

The Tuas share price is down 1% to $7.28. This is despite the Singapore based telco releasing its full year results and reporting strong revenue and profit growth. Revenue was up 29% to $151.3 million and EBITDA was up 28% to $68.4 million. Investors may be disappointed with its vague outlook statement, which only revealed that "subscriber growth trends continue" and mobile and broadband CAPEX guidance of $50 million to $55 million.

That's with the exception of a sharp drop in April when President Trump announced his aggressive Liberation Day tariffs, which sparked global investor panic.

Over the past year, the index has gained 18.03%. And companies in the sector could experience even stronger demand going forward in the event of even more cash rate cuts.

The Australian clothing stock to buy now

Universal Store Holdings Ltd (ASX: UNI) is an Australian retailer specialising in trend-led and casual men's and women's fashion, shoes, accessories, lifestyle, and gifting. The company owns a portfolio of popular premium fashion brands like Champion, Perfect Stranger, Tommy Jeans, Kiss Chacey, Thrills, Barney Cools, and others. 

As consumer confidence bounces back, the retail stock presents a great buying opportunity.

At the time of writing, Universal Store shares are trading in the red, down 2.28% for the day so far and changing hands at $8.59.

For the year, the shares have outpaced the index and are 21.75% higher. The ASX clothing stock has also been a strong performer over the past five years, climbing over 105%.

Analysts are also very positive on the company's outlook. 

Earlier this week, Macquarie Group brokers named Universal Store as one of its top picks for earnings season. Its analysts have an outperform rating on the shares and a price target of $10.20. The broker thinks the stock is undervalued and is well-positioned for tailwind growth.

Morgans is also optimistic about the stock. The broker has a buy rating and $10.80 target price on its shares, citing strong sales momentum.

TradingView data shows 10 out of 11 analysts have a buy or strong buy rating on the shares, with a maximum target price of $11.28. 

At the time of writing, these target prices represent a potential upside of between 18.7% and 31.3% over the next 12 months.

The Australian clothing stock to avoid

While Universal Store represents a good buying opportunity for investors, not all clothing stocks have experienced the same robust growth. 

The Myer Holdings Ltd (ASX: MYR) share price is down 1.56% to $0.4725 a piece at the time of writing.

The stock has suffered a crash in investor confidence this year, with the share price now 41.98% lower than it was 12 months ago. 

In the past 24 hours alone, Myer shares have plummeted 28.79% after the retailer announced a slump in profits for FY25. The company reported a 0.5% increase in sales and a 13.8% drop in earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) for the year. 

Analysts haven't updated their guidance on the stock following its financial results yesterday. TradingView data currently shows 2 out of 4 analysts rating the stock as a buy, with an average 12-month price target of 69 cents. That represents a 47.75% upside at the time of writing. 

As a result of its poor annual performance, the Myer board decided against paying a final dividend to investors in FY25. Clearly, investors aren't happy with the news. The company did not give any guidance about when it would resume dividend payments.

In my view, the stock looks risky at the moment, and there isn't much clarity around how quickly the retailer can return to profitability. I wouldn't be surprised if weak consumer sentiment drags the share price down further before we see a recovery.
