<WIRE> MetalsGrove Mining (ASX:MGA) Soars on Rare Earth Find

<WIRE> Elders (ASX:ELD) Deemed Top Loser on ASX 200 Following Citi's 'Sell' Rating

In recent financial news, Australia’s Elders suffered a significant share drop of nearly 7%, valued at A$7.4, becoming a front-runner amongst the top losers on ASX 200.

Furthermore, Citi predicts a considerable decline in Elders' core net profit by roughly 32% in FY 23 and nearly a further 5% in FY24.

Out of ten analysts, four have rated Elders as ‘buy’ or higher, while six advise ‘hold’, with their median price target set at A$8.57 - using Refinitiv data for reference.
