Catapult (ASX: CAT) and WiseTech Global (ASX: WTC)

Hi guys,
Once again, thank you for all your reports and insights.

After the surge CAT and WTC have experienced recently, do you think there is still gas to go higher in the short term?
What would your price targets be for each one?
Do you see more upside potential on other tech stocks at this stage?

Dear Maket Matters,
Your analyses and comments on the stock have always been to the point. I found them most useful. Right now I have a question on 4DX. Recently, the shares price has been coming down significantly without any bad news that I am aware off.
Do you know why this happened?
Thank you and regards

India and Defence ETFs

Both BetaShares and Global X India ETFs look to be breaking out, what is market matters view’s on India?

Secondly, in Fidays AM post on Defence stocks, it was suggested to be cautious as the Iran war looks to be ending. Perhaps fair in the the Democrats are less likely to fund armaments, however, the US has significantly reduced it stockpiles due to Israel, Iran, and Ukarine, thus need to restock and there are still the US Golden Dome and many defence companies are also major aerospace companies noting that the democrats are likely to fund these investments. Are we missing taking advantages of the current corrections?

Hi Team,

Would appreciate your views around Goodman Group and Digital Realty takeover offer sometime next year? At what price ? Who else would be interested in bidding for NXT ? I bought NXT at $5.47 and see more upside in the future and are happy to hold as I can see things are only going to heat up .

Where do I position myself?

Hi Gents,
In this current volatile environment, where am I best advised to position myself? I invested quite heavily in precious metals and uranium some time ago and aside from some early gains, the sectors have been disappointing since. I also have a solid foundation of defensive blue chips, but where are you looking for growth into next year?
Thanks as always.

Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) and Charter Hall Deep Value Yield REIT (ASX: CDV)

Hi Team, 1) What is MM’s view on the yet to be listed Charter Hall Deep Value Yield REIT (CDV) as an investment? It is promoted that the Target discount to the net assets of the trusts it buys as 20%. Is that realistic?

2) How likely can Google make up its revenue loss in search ads when it is losing one million searches every week?

Your view on buying Google on the dip.
Many thanks

Block Inc (ASX: XYZ)

Hi Team MM

Would like to hear any comments you have around Block (ASX:XYZ). I have liked it because of its exposure to all-things fintech (alternative payment solutions and lending, its banking ecosystem of Cash-App, its user friendly Square terminals, BNPL user base and Bitcoin payment highways). Also, being listed on the Nasdaq makes it a proxy of sorts for US-tech sentiment. It has gone from a low in Feb around AUD$70 to a high today of AUD$118 after what appeared to me to be excellent YoY results that were a beat for most.
What are your thoughts and do you see a higher share price in the future for XYZ?

AI Picks and Shovels Plays

Hi MM,

You have purchased and written recently about AMAT. As its price continues to fall, do you see it as ever greater value as a potential purchase?

Further, when looking at additional potential picks and shovels plays that may be getting sold down to good entry points in the current AI sell-off, do you like and recommend buying any of the following stocks, including thinking that they are good picks and shovels options which will do well no matter who wins the AI race, as well as liking how they’re performing fundamentally at present and based on current forecasts of performance over the next few years:

1) Micron Technology (MU US) – which you wrote positively about on 9 July 2026 and has now fallen considerably from those levels. Good entry point? Great entry point?

2) Lumentum Holdings (LITE).

3) Coherent Corp (COHR).

4) Any other good options in this regard, which you like and/or are considering purchasing in addition to your AMAT purchase?

Thanks,

Darren
