Coles Group received orders of more than A$525m, including A$65m JLM demand, for its A$300m 7.5Y fixed-rate senior unsecured note, according to RBC Capital Markets. Optimism in the options market suggests investors are bullish on the upside.

2. $WOOLWORTHS GROUP LTD(WOW.AU)$ +4.53%

Woolworths managed to grow sales in every single division in the first half of FY25. It should be able to report stronger growth in the HY26 result and FY26 result.
There are a number of growth areas within the business, helping offset some of the headwinds experienced by the Australian food division. Group e-commerce growth was 18.3%, with strong 'same-day' and 'on-demand' growth in the first half through a convenience proposition and Milkrun expansion.
It also said that it has expanded the Woolworths MarketPlus with gross merchandise value (GMV) of $246 million, up 41.7% year over year. There are now over 400,000 items on the BIG W market.
Woolworths' share price is just 19x FY26's estimated earnings. That seems cheap and appealing. It can be a good idea to consider if the business is a buy-the-dip opportunity.

Capricorn Metals' share price is up nearly 5% after Goldman Sachs upgraded it to a "Buy" rating with a $9.90 price target. The upgrade is driven by compelling growth projects at Karlawinda and Mt. Gibson, along with a strong funding position.

5.$REGION RE LTD(RGN.AU)$ +3.79%
