Experts name CBA and these ASX shares as sells today

Deciding which ASX shares are buys and which ones are sells can be difficult. 

To help you figure things out, let’s look at three ASX shares that experts are tipping as sells this week, courtesy of The Bull. 

Here’s what they are saying:

CAR Group Ltd (ASX: CAR)

The team at Alto Capital is bearish on auto listings company CAR Group.

While it was pleased with its performance in FY 2026, it isn’t a fan of its valuation and believes the risk-reward is unfavourable for investors. It said:

CAR Group operates leading digital automotive markets in Australia and internationally. It delivered another strong result in fiscal year 2026. Reported revenue of $A1.253 billion was up 6 per cent on the prior corresponding period. Reported net profit after tax of $A314 million was up 14 per cent. International operations continue to generate attractive long term growth and management expects further revenue growth in fiscal year 2027. 

However, the company’s strong operating performance is increasingly reflected in its valuation, which requires sustained double digit growth and continuing successful international execution. In our view, the risk-reward balance in response to valuation supports a lighten recommendation.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA)

Red Leaf Securities has named CBA shares as a sell this week. While it acknowledges that CBA deserves to trade at a premium to peers, it believes a substantial re-rating leaves little room for disappointment. 

As a result, Red Leaf thinks investors should consider taking profit and focusing on areas with more reasonable valuations. It said:

CBA shares deserves to trade at a premium given its dominant retail franchise, strong technology platform, solid deposit base and consistent execution. However, Australian banking remains a mature industry, with intense competition across mortgages and deposits limiting the potential for outsized earnings growth. 

At a premium valuation, investors are paying a higher price for quality, leaving little room for disappointment. After a substantial re-rating, investors may be better served taking some profits and reallocating capital towards businesses offering stronger growth at more reasonable valuations.

Westpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC)

The team at Red Leaf has also named Westpac shares as a sell this week.

It highlights the increasingly competitive environment as a reason to be cautious, especially given its valuation. It commented:

The bank remains well capitalised and continues to generate solid earnings, but the operating environment is becoming increasingly competitive. Mortgage pricing is aggressive, deposit competition remains intense and the scope for sustained margin expansion appears limited. Westpac’s dividend remains attractive, but investors should also consider opportunity cost. We believe there are more compelling opportunities on the ASX, which offer stronger structural growth or more attractive valuations.
