It has been another busy week for many of Australia’s top brokers. This has led to the release of a number of broker notes.
Three broker buy ratings that you might want to know more about are summarised below. Here’s why brokers think these ASX shares are in the buy zone right now:
Aeris Resources Ltd (ASX: AIS)
According to a note out of Bell Potter, its analysts have retained their buy rating on this copper miner’s shares with an improved price target of 82 cents. This follows news that the company has been granted development consent for its Constellation Project. Bell Potter notes that this is a major permitting milestone for Constellation, de-risking its pathway to production and the company’s objective of commencing mining operations from mid-2026. This is good news given how strong copper prices have been over the past 12 months. Outside this, Bell Potter highlights that Aeris Resources could be an attractive corporate target, supported by low valuation multiples. The Aeris Resources share price is trading at 62 cents on Friday.
Premier Investments Ltd (ASX: PMV)
Another note out of Bell Potter reveals that its analysts have retained their buy rating on this retailer’s shares with a reduced price target of $20.00. It notes that the Peter Alexander and Smiggle owner released its guidance for the first half and expects EBIT of $120 million. This was 10% short of consensus estimates for the period. Bell Potter points out that the Smiggle business is acting as a drag on its performance, particularly in the United Kingdom. And while the broker suspects that things could get worse for Smiggle before they get better, it still thinks investors should be snapping up shares. Especially given how it values the Peter Alexander brand at $2 billion. This compares to the company’s market capitalisation of $2.2 billion. The Premier Investments share price is fetching $13.56 at the time of writing.
Suncorp Group Ltd (ASX: SUN)
Analysts at Morgan Stanley have retained their overweight rating on this insurance giant’s shares with a trimmed price target of $22.25. According to the note, the broker thinks that a buying opportunity has opened up following share price weakness during the back end of 2025. And while it does see some risk to Suncorp’s dividends, it is pleased with the overall business. It highlights that its earnings quality could improve materially given its reinsurance options. This could support a re-rating of its shares in 2026. The Suncorp share price is trading at $17.41 this afternoon.
