This week’s HotCopper Hot Stock tip of the week, as chosen by Wealth Within senior analyst Fil Tortevski and analyst Pedro Banales is Bega Cheese Limited (ASX:BGA) – the dairy producer has been on “an absolutely stellar run” recently.

Notably, the Australian food and drink giant has spiked more than 58% through the last year-to-date, with its bull run towards $8 starting as far back as 2023.

“Since 2010 it’s been finding support in several places, hitting that last year,” Mr Tortevski said. “Then when you go up a level, around $4 was a support level and it found that again in August 2024. We’re approaching that next important level [at around $6.50 or higher] and the stock is really moving quite cyclically there.”

Mr Tortevski asked: “Is there an opportunity there soon? I think so, absolutely.”

“The volume is coming down there,” Mr Banales pointed out, “and it actually did that as it started accumulating last time; look out for volume spiking as it comes out.”

“Fundamentally, I love this stock,” he added.

Bega has already jumped 2.5% today, to $5.43 a share.

Proceed With Caution

When it comes to stocks you should be proceeding with caution on, Mr Tortevski and Mr Banales pointed out $40 billion road-toll operator Transurban Group (ASX:TCL).

“Long term, the stock is stuck sideways,” the Wealth Within duo warned.

TCL has been up today, 1.86% better at $13.16.

Not Hot

Pexa Group Limited (ASX:PXA) is the “Not Hot” tip this week, with the technology company dropping into the bad books after originally being a Wealth Within darling.

“We did like this one a little while back,” Mr Tortevski today admitted, “but when investing you always need to see things for what they are and have no bias about when you’re buying or selling a stock and be able to turn on a dime.

“That’s what this example with Pexa was – it was interesting, but then we saw it fail at $15 and it failed, had a second go, [and] failed that… it doesn’t look pretty.”

PXA last traded at $13.46 before the 4pm close today.
