3 ASX Stocks with Recent Bullish Breakouts
When you track the ASX day after day, you eventually spot those moments when a stock stops drifting and suddenly kicks into gear. A clear breakout, the kind that pushes past weeks of hesitation, often tells you buyers are finally taking control. In this article, we’re looking at three Australian companies whose share prices have recently surged through key resistance levels. These aren’t just quick spikes or one-day wonders. Each chart shows a pattern of tightening ranges, rising volume, and a decisive move that suggests momentum may continue.
Zip Co Limited (ASX: ZIP) — From BNPL Pioneer to Global Fintech Contender
Zip closed FY25 with what we consider a genuine inflection point: a record A$13.1bn in TTV and A$170.3m of group cash EBTDA — a level of profitability that would’ve sounded fanciful 18 months ago. The US arm is now the locomotive of the group, while ANZ has quietly rebuilt its margin spine. Momentum spilled straight into 1Q FY26, with TTV of A$3.9bn and cash EBTDA of A$62.8m, prompting management to hike US TTV guidance and expand the buyback to A$100m.
Macroeconomic Report for the Week Ending 28 November 2025 – Australian Market Outlook
The global macroeconomic backdrop shifted notably in the week ending 28 November 2025, fuelling a renewed "risk-on" sentiment that propelled a decisive recovery in Australian equities. In the United States, softening labour market indicators—specifically an acceleration in weekly ADP job losses—combined with a cooler-than-expected Core PPI reading and dovish commentary from Federal Reserve officials, led to a sharp repricing of interest rate expectations, with markets now pricing in an ~85% probability of a December cut. This pivot abroad overshadowed sticky domestic inflation data, allowing interest-rate-sensitive growth sectors to lead the S&P/ASX 200 higher, even as uncertainty persists around the Reserve Bank of Australia’s policy path.
Invictus Energy (ASX: IVZ) – A Frontier Play with Optionality
We view Invictus Energy as a rare example of an explorer with a clear pathway to development in one of Africa’s last underexplored rift systems. The Mukuyu gas-condensate discovery in Zimbabwe’s Cabora Bassa Basin anchors the portfolio, while high-impact follow-up at Musuma-1 and a strategic financing partnership with Al Mansour Holdings (AMH) materially de-risk the next stage of value creation.
Embark Early Education (ASX: EVO) Is Offering 6.8% Fully-Franked Dividend Yield, Should You Buy Its Shares?
We see HY2025 as the first genuinely credible step in EVO’s multi-year turnaround. Not a cosmetic clean-up. Not a one-off bounce. A real shift. Occupancy is climbing, labour stability is improving, centre-level margins are widening, and cashflow finally has the shape of something we can underwrite. Management has been making tough decisions — cutting deadweight centres, fixing staffing inconsistencies, and rebuilding trust in local communities — and the P&L now reflects it.
Australia’s REE sector has strategic importance. But which ASX companies hold the best REE assets?Which ASX REE stocks have the highest potential?
Australia is increasingly important in the global REE supply chain as countries seek alternatives to China’s dominance. Key companies on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) are standing out thanks to substantial deposits, processing capability, and strategic supply-chain links. Leading the pack is Lynas Rare Earths Ltd (ASX: LYC), which mines the high-grade Mount Weld deposit in WA, has processing facilities outside China and is among the few globally capable of turning ore into refined products. Australia has the raw materials; the companies that control both the mines and the processing stand to benefit most.
Accent Group (ASX: AX1) — A Scaled Retailer Mispriced for What It Can Deliver
We continue to view Accent Group (AX1) as one of the few genuinely scaled, defensible retail platforms in Australia and New Zealand. In a sector where earnings volatility is the norm and brand power often trumps execution, AX1 stands out because it has quietly built a multi-brand ecosystem that gives it pricing control, data-driven consumer reach, and operational leverage that smaller retailers simply cannot replicate.

While financial performance is still pre-profit, recent commercial wins, deep IP protection, and product roadmap momentum provide compelling optional upside. Key risks include cash burn, technology adoption, and scaling edge-AI deployments.

European Lithium is positioning itself as a future supplier of battery-grade lithium to Europe, with the Wolfsberg Project in Austria advancing through permitting, engineering, and early-stage financing activities.
Macroeconomic Report for Week Ending 21 Nov 2025 – Australian Market Outlook
The global macroeconomic backdrop shifted notably in the week ending 23 November 2025, contributing to a significant risk-off sentiment that heavily impacted Australian equities. In the United States, a mixed labour market report showing rising unemployment alongside stronger-than-expected job additions, combined with firm Services PMI data and Federal Reserve minutes signalling a delay in rate cuts, led to a repricing of interest rate expectations.
Racura Oncology (ASX: RAC) - A High-Risk, High-Reward Oncology Play
Racura Oncology (ASX: RAC) is executing on a bold clinical strategy centered on RC220 (bisantrene reformulation), targeting both cardioprotection and enhanced anticancer activity in combination with doxorubicin. The company has dosed its first patient in a Phase 1 solid tumor trial, expanded into South Korea, and strengthened its clinical leadership team, all while maintaining disciplined cash management (A$13.67m at June 2025) to fund operations into 2026. Though early-stage, RAC presents a compelling mid- to long-term optionality scenario for investors with conviction in cardio-oncology and specialty chemotherapy.
Arafura Rare Earths (ASX: ARU) — Building Australia’s Rare Earth Future
Arafura Rare Earths (ARU) is progressing its flagship Nolans NdPr Project in the Northern Territory — a fully integrated mine-to-separation operation targeting strategic electrification supply chains.

Macroeconomic Report for Week Ending 14 Nov 2025 – Australian Market Outlook
Global markets rallied on hopes of a resolution to the U.S. government shutdown, though the Fed's caution dampened expectations for a December rate cut.

The ASX posted its weakest week in four months amid sector rotation and global tech selloffs.
