The ASX share market is always throwing up opportunities for us to consider. Sometimes it’s a great update or a lower share price that reveals the opportunity.

I’m going to look at two ASX shares that are very positively rated by experts, with lots of buy calls on the stocks.

When one expert thinks a business is a buy, it could be interesting idea. When there are numerous buy ratings, that could be a clear opportunity.

Netwealth Group Ltd (ASX: NWL)

Netwealth describes itself as a financial services company. It provides a number of services including superannuation (accumulation and retirement income products), investor-directed portfolio services for self-managed super and non-super investments, managed accounts, managed funds, SMSF admin services and non-custodial admin and reporting services.

According to CMC Invest, there have been 12 ratings on the business within the last three months. Nine of those analyst calls were a buy and three were a hold. The average price target of those 12 ratings was $27, implying a possible rise of 43% over the next year, from where it is at the time of writing.

The company continues to win more funds under administration (FUA), grow market share and win more advisors.

The ASX share reported that in FY26, total income grew 20.6% to $391.1 million, operating profit (EBITDA) rose 18% to $192.9 million, and net profit after tax (NPAT) climbed 16.2% to $135.4 million.

Netwealth expects FY27 FUA net inflows of between $18 billion to $20 billion, an increase of between 17% to 30% compared to FY26. It also recently announced the $20 million acquisition of Paradino, a leading AI-enabled advice workflow and automation platform for financial advisors.

Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX: PDN)

The other ASX share I’ll highlight is Paladin Energy, a uranium producer with 75% ownership of the Langer Heinrich Mine in Namibia.

It’s also progressing development of the Tier-1, high grade and shallow Patterson Lake South project in northern Saskatchewan. The ASX share has a portfolio of exploration assets within the province’s highly prospective Athabasca Basin and also at the Michelin project in Newfoundland and Labrador.

On top of that, it owns uranium exploration assets in Queensland and Western Australia.

According to CMC Invest, there have been 13 analyst ratings on the business within the last three months. Ten of those analyst calls were a buy, one was a hold and two were a sell. The average price target of $13.55 suggests a possible annual rise of 33% from where it is at the time of writing.

FY26 was a strong year for the business. Its average realised (sold) price rose 7% to US$70 per pound, revenue grew 71% to US$304 million, gross profit improved $78.3 million to $52.2 million and operating cash flow surged $41.5 million to $37.7 million.

As we can see, its financials are significantly improving and the company is working unlocking further uranium production in the future.
