The team at Bell Potter has put an attractive price target and rating on ASX penny stock Alpha HPA Ltd (ASX: A4N).
Penny stocks can be more volatile investments compared to other options, such as blue-chip stocks.
However, investors in small, fast-growing companies can capture substantial gains compared to those who wait until the companies have grown.
Alpha HPA
Because there are thousands of companies listed on the ASX, it's impossible to be across all of them.
This is what makes researching so important.
For investors who are not familiar with this ASX penny stock, Alpha HPA is an Australian mining company specialising in high-purity alumina (HPA).
HPA is a key component of lithium-ion batteries and LED lighting and has other essential commercial applications.
According to Bell Potter, A4N's HPA First Project in Gladstone (Queensland) is aiming to supply high-purity aluminium-based products to the semiconductor, lithium-ion battery, and light-emitting diode (LED) manufacturing sectors.
The project's proprietary technology is expected to disrupt incumbent HPA production by delivering ultra-high purity products with significantly lower unit costs.
Share price upside
This ASX penny stock has seen plenty of volatility in its share price this year and is down 16% YTD.
At the time of writing, it is trading for $0.73 per share.
However, Bell Potter has a $2 price target and a speculative buy recommendation on this ASX penny stock.
This indicates an enormous upside of almost 174%.
Part of this optimism is due to a positive funding update from the company last week.
Bell Potter believes that by the March quarter of 2026, A4N will have secured Letters of Intent (LOIs). This could cover its full planned production volumes.
These LOIs are anticipated to be converted into binding offtake contracts ahead of the company's commercial production ramp-up in 2027.
The broker also said a key driver of A4N's growth is its specialised product capability. This positions the company strongly within the semiconductor manufacturing market.
Momentum in A4N's key markets is strong, with leverage to data centres and AI applications, renewable power generation, critical minerals/technologies and the defence sector.
