In this edition, Tony remembers some savvy investments that were lying out for all to see before turning to one he thinks could be looked back on similarly in Raiz Invest (ASX:RZI) and a customer base which is growing in more ways than one.

Stock Tips: One expert makes a Sigma call, Aussie Broadband connects with another
It's no easy gig analysing share prices and company performance but somebody's got to do it. Every week two experts from our Share Tips columnist pool give us their recommendations. Toby Grimm – Baker Young Limited BUY Sigma Healthcare (ASX:SIG) Sigma's merger with Chemist Warehouse created Australia's dominant vertically integrated pharmacy group with a high growth outlook given our ageing population and wellness trends. Pinnacle Investment (ASX:PNI) Pinnacle should benefit significantly from the market's rally back to all-time highs with base and performance fees likely to exceed recently downgraded expectations. HOLD South32 (ASX:S32) The company's quarterly production update showed encouraging operational performance, and we note the Hermosa project in the US could be a tier one asset given supportive US critical mineral security policy. Woodside Energy Group (ASX:WDS) Alongside a relatively impressive quarterly output report, Woodside has confirmed key development projects are on track reducing risk and improving free cash flow available for distributions. SELL AMP (ASX:AMP) Recent share price appreciation underestimates continued competitive challenges and continuing investment needs. Combined with sub-optimal bank operations we see risks of setbacks and would be exiting. Helia Group (ASX:HLI) The loss of Commonwealth Bank and potentially ING mortgage insurance contracts (combined worth more than half the business' premiums in 2024) underscores a lack of competitive advantage and growth. Tony Paterno – Ord Minnett BUY Aussie Broadband (ASX:ABB) Remains well placed to grow market share as consumers trend to higher speed tiers and the NBN's fibre upgrade program rolls out. ARB Corporation (ASX:ARB) Australian new vehicles sales increased by 2.4% in Jun-25. ARB's key vehicle sales increased 15.0% in June, with the SUV and LCV market both lifting. HOLD Bapcor (ASX:BAP) After the recent strategy day, the company's key messages are on business simplification, continuing cost initiatives and improving retail operations. It expects operational improvements following headcount reductions and warehouse consolidation. Brickworks (ASX:BKW) Demand for BKW's Industrial property developments remain solid, with further growth in rental income expected. In Australia, recent rate cuts are expected to translate into improved housing activity late in 2025. SELL Evolution Mining (ASX:EVN) EVN delivered a slightly softer quarter result (higher capex), whilst the outlook showed higher costs. Trading expensive at these levels. Lynas (ASX:LYC) We believe the optimistic LYC share price rise since the MP Materials & DoD deal is misplaced. We don't believe they will benefit and the US has gone all-in on its domestic producer.

Regulator zeros in on Bally's Star rescue deal
Star Entertainment's rescue plan could be under threat with the NSW casino regulator warning it will closely examine the finances and leadership of Bally's Corporation before allowing it to take control. The American gaming giant will control Star, which operates casinos in Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, after providing a $300 million lifeline earlier this year. It has already flagged its intention of overhauling management as part of a turnaround plan and Bally's chairman Soo Kim is expected to join the board of the ASX-listed gaming group.

Federal Government and other creditors facing $300m wipeout on failed mineral sands projects
The Federal Government and other creditors of mineral sands miner Strandline Resources are facing a $300 million wipeout even with the sale of the collapsed company's flagship WA project to Japanese group Iwatani. Iwatani, which already owns South West mineral sands miner Doral, is proposing to take control of the mothballed Coburn mine near Shark Bay from receivers with a $15m cash offer that would see secured creditors repaid less than 5¢ in every dollar they are owed. The deed of company arrangement for Coburn, if approved by creditors next week, would crystallise a loss of about $160m for the project's biggest backer, the government-owned Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility. A statutory report by administrators Cor Cordis into the collapse of Strandline and its operating subsidiary Coburn Resources reveals NAIF is owed $167m, having advanced a final $5m just three months before the miner collapsed in February. With bondholders owed $94m and NAB nearly $17m, secured creditors alone are on the hook for Coburn for $277.5m. Under the DOCA, they would likely collectively recover less than $10m, while 224 unsecured mainly trade creditors would share just $1.5m to settle another $49m of claims. Subject to clarification about which company actually employed them, the deed funds would also be used to pay $5 million in outstanding entitlements owed to nearly 170 employees. The ASX-listed Strandline was put into administration on February 21 after its backers ran out of patience with protracted efforts to address Coburn's poor operating performance and restructure the group's hefty debt. Receivers from McGrathNicol took control of the mine under an almost simultaneous appointment by the secured creditors. Strandline spent $260m developing Coburn to exploit a large tonnage, but low-grade deposit, about 300km north of Geraldton. It entered commercial production in November 2022 but struggled from the start, falling well short of the targets assumed in the feasibility study that underpinned the development. Directors sheeted home blame to various factors, including design and construction flaws, unreliable equipment, labour shortages, and higher-than-expected handling and operating costs. However, administrators Thomas Birch and Jeremy Nipps added that Coburn never produced enough to do better than break even. Strandline and Coburn, they said, 'were reliant on funding from lenders to bridge their collective working capital deficit in circumstances where operations were never generating sufficient cash or gross profit'. Iwatani's was one of two proposals received by McGrathNicol after a sale campaign, with the receivers opting for the Japanese company, partly because its offer was better, it had more certainty and it 'would see the continuation of the Coburn project after a short period of care and maintenance'. Iwatani could not be immediately contacted on Friday.
