Trading Ideas:

  • Bell Potter has maintained a buy rating on Develop Global (ASX:DVP), despite decreasing its price target to $4.10. The buy rating is maintained by Bell Potter as the forthcoming restart of Woodlawn operations coincides with growing revenue generation from the company’s underground mining services business, underpinning a ramp up in earnings in FY24-FY26.
  • And Trading Central has identified a bullish signal in Infomedia (ASX:IFM), indicating that the stock price may rise from the close of $1.65 to the range of $1.90-$1.96, on a pattern formed over 11 days, according to the standard principles of technical analysis.
