Brokers name 3 ASX shares to buy right now

It has been another busy week for many of Australia’s top brokers. This has led to a number of broker notes being released.

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:

Bega Cheese Ltd (ASX: BGA)

According to a note out of Morgan Stanley, its analysts have initiated coverage on this diversified food company’s shares with an overweight rating and $6.70 price target. The broker believes that Bega Cheese is good value at current levels. It highlights the undemanding valuation multiple its shares trade on and positive earnings growth outlook. In fact, the broker believes Bega Cheese could grow earnings per share at an average of 20% per annum between FY 2025 and FY 2028. This is being supported by increased protein consumption, cost savings, and optimisations. The Bega Cheese share price is trading at $5.42 on Friday.

Energy One Ltd (ASX: EOL)

A note out of Bell Potter reveals that its analysts have retained their buy rating on this software provider’s shares with a trimmed price target of $17.10. Bell Potter believes artificial intelligence (AI) displacement concerns are unwarranted. This is because Energy One serves a deeply regulated and sticky industry with mission-critical solutions. In addition, it highlights that tailwinds remain regarding growing complexity in energy markets, surging European trading volumes, and increasing distributed energy resources. It believes these trends reinforce the strength of the company’s positioning as a one-stop-shop provider of software and services, rather than a collection of individual tools. It also notes that it remains attracted to the company’s strong growth profile, expanding margins, and impressive SaaS metrics. The Energy One share price is fetching $12.21 at the time of writing.

Temple & Webster Group Ltd (ASX: TPW)

Another note out of Bell Potter reveals that its analysts have retained their buy rating on this online furniture retailer’s shares with a reduced price target of $7.00. The broker has reduced the target multiples for Temple & Webster’s shares to 9x EV/EBITDA. Despite this, the broker still sees plenty of value in Temple & Webster’s shares. In fact, it notes that the continuous decline in the share price means that its shares are back at the levels of the last profit optimisation cycle in 2022. However, this time around its shares are trading on a more attractive EV/sales multiple. Overall, it sees long term valuation support in a high-quality ecommerce retailer with range, pricing/scale advantages, AI/data capability backed by a strong balance sheet to take up inorganic growth opportunities. The Temple & Webster share price is trading at $5.09 this afternoon.
