Top brokers name 3 ASX shares to buy next week

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

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:

Coronado Global Resources Inc (ASX: CRN)

According to a note out of Bell Potter, its analysts have retained their buy rating on this coal miner’s shares with an improved price target of $1.85. The broker is feeling very positive on Coronado Global’s outlook. This is thanks to improving production volumes and subsequent cost benefits following self-funded investments across its Australian and US operations. The broker expects this to generate improved free cash flow and shareholder returns going forward. Particularly given its belief that metallurgical coal prices will be strong over the long term due to supply constraints. It also sees potential for Coronado Global to participate in industry consolidation. The Coronado Global share price ended the week at $1.41.

Premier Investments Limited (ASX: PMV)

A note out of Citi reveals that its analysts have retained their buy rating and $36.00 price target on this retail conglomerate’s shares. Citi has been reviewing the potential merger of Premier Investments’ apparel brands with department store operator Myer Holdings Ltd (ASX: MYR). The broker is feeling positive about the proposal and believes it could support margin expansion for the latter. It also sees potential for significant synergies from the combination of the two parties. Another positive is that Citi is upbeat on the proposed spinoff of the Peter Alexander and Smiggle brands, which are expanding internationally. Overall, the broker thinks that buying Premier Investments gives investors an opportunity to gain exposure to both growth opportunities. The Premier Investments share price was trading at $30.52 on Friday.

Telstra Group Ltd (ASX: TLS)

Analysts at Goldman Sachs have reaffirmed their buy rating on this telco giant’s shares with an improved price target of $4.30. According to the note, the broker was pleased with Telstra’s decision to lift its mobile prices by $2 to $4. Goldman believes it will boost Telstra’s average revenue per user (ARPU) metric by $2.50 and demonstrates that mobile market rationality remains, particularly when combined with the recent Optus increase. In response to the update, the broker has lifted its earnings and dividend estimates for FY 2025 and FY 2026. The Telstra share price was trading at $3.82 at Friday’s close.
