Oil prices have recently climbed above US$113 per barrel as Middle East risks disrupt supply routes, and the article profiles three Australian growth stocks that analysts expect to deliver rapid earnings and revenue growth. Resolute Mining, a Perth-based gold producer, earns most of its revenue from the Syama mine in Mali (about $696 million) and the Mako mine in Senegal (about $307 million), with a market cap of A$2.4 billion, and its Doropo project is expected to add a large new source of ounces from 2028. Neuren Pharmaceuticals generates about A$69 million from commercial products, all from the United States, with a market cap of A$2.5 billion, and its NNZ-2591 candidate represents a second potential growth leg. Lynas Rare Earths reports about A$978 million in revenue from its rare earth operations and a market cap of A$11.5 billion, with its assets tied to rising demand for rare earth magnets used in electric vehicles and wind turbines.

- Geodrill Sees Gold, Copper Drilling Boom as Pricing Actions Target Margin Recovery
Geodrill (TSE:GEO) CEO Dave Harper told the LD Micro conference that the drilling contractor is benefiting from strong gold and copper exploration demand, while working to restore margins squeezed by higher diesel and operating costs tied to an oil shock. The company, founded in 1998 with one rig, now runs more than 100 rigs across five countries on two continents, and Harper called it the third-largest pure-play exploration mineral driller. Revenue grew at a 15% compound annual rate from 2014 to 2025, compared with 9% growth in the rig fleet, and each rig added an average of about $2.2 million to revenue. To restore margins, Geodrill is raising prices on new contracts and repricing underperforming ones, and it reported record second-quarter revenue of $55 million, up 10% year on year, with a 16% gross margin and a 14% EBITDA margin. Harper aims to return to EBITDA margins near 20%, and analysts forecast third-quarter revenue of $51 million versus $39 million a year earlier.
- Geodrill Sees Gold, Copper Drilling Boom as Pricing Actions Target Margin Recovery
Geodrill CEO Dave Harper told the LD Micro conference that the mineral exploration driller, which runs more than 100 rigs across five countries on two continents, is benefiting from strong gold and copper drilling demand while working to restore margins. Harper said the company has grown organically by reinvesting profits into rigs, with revenue compounding at 15% a year from 2014 to 2025 versus 9% growth in its fleet, and each added rig contributing roughly $2.2 million to revenue on average. An oil shock tied to the Iran situation raised diesel and operating costs that contracts did not cover, squeezing gross margins, so Geodrill is raising prices on new work and repricing underperforming contracts to restore its historical EBITDA margin of approximately 20%. Second-quarter revenue hit a record $55 million, up 10% year over year, with gross profit of $9 million at a 16% margin and EBITDA of $8 million, up 35% sequentially. As of June, the company had $12 million of debt and $11 million of cash.
- ASX Runners of the Week : Identifai , Avenira & Image Resources
Oil prices climbed to US$107 a barrel as Middle East tensions escalated, after a strike on Riyadh airport killed 12 people and Houthi attacks hit Saudi Arabia, with Trump accusing Iran's regime of steering the attacks to push prices higher. AI-linked stocks slumped, with Nasdaq semiconductors down 14% since the start of last week and South Korea's KOSPI tumbling 21% in seven sessions as SK Hynix and Samsung fell 14% and 18%. Australian miners were also hit, with Rio Tinto facing more than $500 million in extra annual Pilbara diesel costs and Fortescue possibly posting its first loss-making quarter since 2009. Gold Fields is reportedly prepared to sweeten its $40 billion bid for Northern Star Resources with more cash and an ASX listing. Top runner Identifai Genetics (ASX: ID1) rose 170% from 20 cents to 54 cents after a $10 million float, with a blood test platform that screens over 280 genes from as early as nine weeks into pregnancy.
- ASX Runners of the Week : Identifai , Avenira & Image Resources
Markets were under pressure this week as Middle East tensions pushed crude oil to US$107 a barrel, while the NASDAQ semiconductor sector fell 14% after OpenAI pared back revenue expectations and China's memory-chip advances rattled investors. South Korea's KOSPI plunged 21% in seven sessions, with SK Hynix down 14% and Samsung down 18% this week alone. In Australia, high oil prices hit Rio Tinto, which faces more than $500 million in additional annual Pilbara costs, while Fortescue could post its first loss-making quarter in years. A bright spot was the takeover contest for Northern Star Resources, where Gold Fields is reportedly open to adding cash to its $40 billion bid. The week's top runner was Identifai Genetics (ASX: ID1), up 170% from 20 cents to 54 cents after its $10 million float.
- Why Did Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM) Stock Drop Today?
Freedom Broker downgraded Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM) from Buy to Hold, citing valuation limits and operational risks at Canadian Malartic and Odyssey, while recent earnings estimate cuts have drawn attention. Shares fell 6.1% over the past week and 13.5% over the past month, after a 21.4% gain over 90 days. The article suggests momentum may be fading as estimates reset and sector risk is reassessed. It notes the stock last closed at $176.15, against a $211.37 analyst reference level, while a popular user narrative sets fair value at $123,914.00, a far higher figure that relies on unconfirmed engineering forecasts.

- Stocktwits Wall Street Wrap: Analysts Turn Bullish On SpaceX, Tesla, But Netflix And Chipotle Face Fresh Downgrades Amid Growth Concerns
Analysts turned more positive on SpaceX (SPCX) and Tesla (TSLA) as revenue outlooks and merger speculation fueled optimism, and the two companies set up independent board committees to explore closer ties, including a possible merger. Phillip Securities upgraded SpaceX to 'Buy' with a $250 price target, and Bank of America raised its target to $275; SpaceX now projects $33 billion to $37 billion in Q1 2027 revenue, above the roughly $22 billion analysts had expected.

- Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq wobble after sharp tech sell-off
US stock futures wobbled on Friday as worries over the AI trade lingered after a steep tech sell-off sparked a flight to bonds. Dow futures fell 0.2% and S&P 500 futures dropped 0.2%, while Nasdaq 100 futures were little changed after semiconductors and Big Tech sold off Thursday. Concerns over rising financing costs and a possible slowdown in capex weighed on neocloud stocks such as CoreWeave (CRWV), with Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD also retreating. Oil stayed near a five-month high, with Brent touching $113 per barrel and WTI near $100 per barrel. Yahoo Finance reported that Tesla's (TSLA) surprise $5 billion cut to capex plans has not shaken confidence in a large Cybercab network, with Morgan Stanley analyst Andrew Percoco's modeling assuming a fleet of 5 million by end-2040.
- Russia and Ukraine trade fresh strikes despite renewed push for U.S.-brokered peace talks
Russia launched a major attack on Ukraine's energy facilities, knocking out electricity for over 500,000 people in several regions, and Ukraine's Energy Ministry said restoration work had begun where security allowed. Russia's Defense Ministry said air defense forces intercepted and destroyed 443 Ukrainian drones overnight. The strikes came after U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff met Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, and Putin said Moscow was ready to resume U.S.-mediated talks with Kyiv in November. An energy ceasefire announced by President Donald Trump on Oct. 11 has yielded no meaningful result, and Zelenskyy said Ukraine was ready for a ceasefire but needed strong security guarantees.
- Warren Buffett's Successor, Greg Abel, Has 32% of Berkshire Hathaway's $364 Billion Portfolio Invested in 3 Unstoppable AI Stocks
Greg Abel took over Berkshire Hathaway after Warren Buffett retired as CEO on Dec. 31, and has reshaped the $364 billion portfolio, dumping 16 stocks in the first quarter. Three AI-focused stocks, Apple, Alphabet, and Bending Spoons, now account for roughly 32% ($115.7 billion) of the portfolio.

- Stock-Split Watch: Is ASML Next?
ASML shares have gained 189% over the past three years, trailing the 247% rise in the PHLX Semiconductor Sector index, and now trade above $1,600 per share. The article argues that management could carry out a forward stock split to make the shares more attractive to retail investors, though this would not change the company's fundamentals, and many brokerages now offer fractional share purchases. In the third quarter, ASML reported revenue of 11.66 billion euros, up 55% year over year, after selling 113 lithography systems versus 66 a year earlier, with EUV machines used for AI chips driving the gains. The company expects 14.7 billion euros in revenue this quarter, a 51% increase, and plans to raise advanced chipmaking equipment capacity by 30% in 2027. Customers are reportedly interested in orders for 2029 and 2030, and ASML trades at 27 times forward earnings, below its five-year average of 33.
