Tuesday was a rough day of trading for the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO).
Australia’s benchmark index fell 1.34%.
Despite this, it remains up a healthy 11% across the last 12 months.Â
After yesterday’s tough day of trading, three notable names now sitting close to 52-week lows.
Here’s what experts have been saying about the likelihood of a bounce back.
Guzman y Gomez Ltd (ASX: GYG)
Investor sentiment on GYG shares has continued to sour in the last 12 months, with its share price falling more than 45%.Â
Yesterday, the ASX 200 stock appeared in the most shorted shares list, reinforcing that investors are not optimistic on a bounce back.Â
The stock endured heavy sell-offs during February as investors were disappointed with the company’s half-year results.
Major talking points for the company centre around the viability of its US expansion, which some believe faces headwinds.
On the flip side, there are brokers who seem to believe its share price has now fallen too far.
Macquarie has a current share price target on the ASX 200 stock of $27.30.
The broker is more focussed on Australian success in the long-term.
Meanwhile, UBS has a more modest view, along with a price target of $21.
From yesterday’s closing price of $18.74, these targets indicate an upside between 12% and 45%.
Premier Investments Ltd (ASX: PMV)
Premier Investments is an Australian company that owns and operates speciality retail brands, consumer products, and wholesale businesses.
Its share price has tumbled 43% over the last year to sit close to a 12-month low.Â
While there’s no guarantee it bounces back, investors may be interested in the ASX 200 stock for its healthy dividend.
Brokers are expecting a yield of close to 6% in 2026.
Macquarie also believes the stock could recover to $16.20, which is 23% higher than yesterday’s closing price.Â
Aristocrat Leisure Ltd (ASX: ALL)
Aristocrat Leisure is an Australian gaming technology company licensed in around 340 gaming jurisdictions in more than 100 countries.
Its share price is down 37.27% in the last year and sits close to 52-week lows.
The last price sensitive news out of the company came at its February AGM, which did little to boost investor confidence.
The ASX 200 stock has fallen more than 8% since that time.
For those hoping the company can bounce back, Bell Potter currently sees as much as 50% upside for the stock.
The broker said it expects leading R&D investment will drive market share gains.
