There are plenty of ASX shares for investors to choose from.
To narrow things down, let’s see what analysts are saying about three popular shares, courtesy of The Bull. Here’s what they are recommending:
Aristocrat Leisure Ltd (ASX: ALL)
The team at Morgans is positive on this gaming technology company and has named its shares as a buy.
The broker believes that its shares are attractively priced at current levels given its strong track record of growth. It said:
Aristocrat Leisure designs, develops and distributes gaming content, platforms and systems. It offers high quality recurring earnings from generating real money online gaming opportunities. An under geared balance sheet provides options for acquisitions, and ALL is a capital light business with strong cash conversion. The company is trading well below historical levels. The stock is attractively valued given its track record of proven earnings growth.
BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP)
Over at Fairmont Equities, it has named BHP shares as a hold this week.
While it believes a commodities bull market is only just beginning and BHP is a safe bet, it isn’t quite recommending the Big Australian as a buy just yet. It commented:
The commodities bull market has only just started, in my view. As a global mining giant, BHP generally appeals to investors looking to increase exposure in the resources sector. BHP’s share price has retreated to a major support level since the start of the war in Iran. I’m confident the stock should bounce from these levels. BHP’s diversification makes it a safer bet for investors to ride the commodities bull market.
Woodside Energy Group Ltd (ASX: WDS)
Fairmont Equities has also named Woodside shares as a hold this week.
While it was a buyer of Woodside shares before the US-Iran conflict, it isn’t adding to its holding at current levels following a strong share price rise. It said:
We were buying this major oil and gas producer prior to the conflict in Iran in response to looming supply issues. Investors have been underweight in the energy sector. As the world increasingly focuses on tightening energy supplies, we expect investors will start adding the most liquid and blue chip energy stocks to their portfolios. The largest on the ASX is Woodside Energy. The share price recently pushed beyond several major technical levels, which is a positive sign from a charting point of view.
