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.

BrainChip is a pioneer in ultra-low-power, neuromorphic AI processing, anchored by its Akida spiking neural network architecture. With US$13.5 million cash as of June 2025, the company is funding aggressive commercialisation efforts, including next-gen Akida 2.0, Pico devices, and defence / edge-AI partnerships. 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.

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.

Investigator Silver (ASX: IVR), formerly known as Investigator Resources, is moving through one of the most strategically important phases in its history. The company is advancing the Paris Silver Project, Australia’s highest-grade undeveloped primary silver deposit, while simultaneously delivering exploration wins across its 100%-owned Peterlumbo tenement and progressing copper-gold targets at Uno Morgans.

The small-cap medical-tech company, Control Bionics, has just taken steps that could catapult it far beyond its current size. Its core product, a wearable sensor that translates even the faintest muscle or nerve signals into computer commands, is already approved and helps people with severe physical disabilities communicate and interact. Recently, the company announced that it had integrated a significant tech giant’s brain-computer interface protocol into its devices.

Cettire (ASX: CTT) share price recently had a breakout. But it is in a bit of limbo; enough promise remains that a rebound could be on the cards, but enough uncertainty that it’s far from a safe bet. On one hand, the company is forecast to post healthy earnings-per-share growth over the next few years and has a pretty low price-to-sales ratio compared with peers, suggesting some latent value. On the other hand, consensus analyst targets hover modestly, some even see a drop, and many believe any upside beyond roughly one Australian dollar a share depends on improvements that aren’t guaranteed.
