Jumbo Interactive Ltd (ASX: JIN)

According to a note out of Morgans, its analysts have retained their add rating and lifted their price target on this online lottery ticket seller's shares to $17.10. This follows the release of a full year result that was in line with the broker's expectations. Looking ahead, Morgans believes the Powered by Jumbo SaaS business is well placed for growth thanks to its significant global addressable market. The Jumbo share price is trading at $15.10 this afternoon.

NEXTDC Ltd (ASX: NXT)

A note out of Goldman Sachs reveals that its analysts have retained their conviction buy rating but trimmed their price target slightly on this data centre operator's shares to $14.40. Although NEXTDC fell a touch short of Goldman's revenue expectations, its earnings were slightly stronger than expected. It also notes that the company's guidance for FY 2022 was in line with its estimates when adjusted for higher power prices. All in all, Goldman remains positive and sees strong growth ahead for NEXTDC thanks to the migration to the cloud. The NEXTDC share price is fetching $12.76 on Monday.

Qantas Airways Limited (ASX: QAN)

Analysts at Citi have retained their buy rating and lifted their price target on this airline operator's shares to $5.93. This follows the release of the company's full year results last week. The broker notes that Qantas' guidance for FY 2022 implies market share gains. And while it acknowledges that there is a high level of COVID uncertainty, it highlights that Qantas is well-placed to meet pent-up demand when travel markets recover. The Qantas share price is trading at $5.02 this afternoon.
