Buy Recommendations

ASX:CXU

CXU is a uranium explorer in WA. I remain extremely bullish on the long-term prospects for uranium. CXU is interesting because although there is a ban in WA to mine uranium, not only only has Australia recently signed a deal to supply India with uranium, but the WA state government recently provided CXU with a grant for work programs to be undertaken. If the mining ban is lifted and the uranium price continues to head higher, there should be a large re-rating in the share price.

ASX:RIO

If we are still in the early stages of a commodities boom, then a recent pullback in the share price of RIO is a buying opportunity. From a share price chart perspective, it has triggered a rare buy signal on the daily RSI, which is a momentum indicator. This means the pullback that started in June is mostly over and we now have a very favourable risk/reward ratio. RIO recently released their results for the June quarter which met or exceeded most analyst expectations.

Hold Recommendations

ASX:WDS

I had previous tipped this major oil and gas producer as a buying opportunity, and the recent escalation in the middle east has seen it break out of a bull-flag on the charts and regain its upwards momentum. The US strategic reserve is now at a 45 year low and there is little that can now be done to keep a lid on oil prices. As the largest oil stock on the Australian share market buying support should continue to grow for WDS.

ASX:GMD

The price of gold overshot earlier this year and has undergone a consolidation. This has also led to a pullback in the share price of this Australia gold miner. Gold prices now appear to be stabilising and central bank buying of gold is starting to pick back up. GMD looks set to merge with Vault Minerals, which is located close by, and we can see substantial upside from here in the share price as the deal offers unique operational synergies.

Sell Recommendations

ASX:ASX

ASX is Australia’s primary securities exchange, but a recent recovery in its share price has seen the stock trade above consensus valuation targets. With market volumes and corporate activity still looking weak, along with questions markets over governance issues and rising costs for technology, we believe that the risk is to the downside.

ASX:ORA

Although this packaging company looks cheap, it is a value trap. Earnings growth has been substantially downgraded over time and is at risk of falling further. This is because structural challenges from their Saverglass division risks seeing further downgrades. The share are also entrenched in long-term downtrend and this further heightens the risk of lower share price levels.
