Many of Australia’s top brokers have been busy adjusting their financial models and recommendations. This has led to a number of broker notes being released this week.
Three ASX shares that brokers have named as buys this week are listed below. Here’s why their analysts are feeling bullish on them right now:
Aristocrat Leisure Ltd (ASX: ALL)
According to a note out of Bell Potter, its analysts have retained their buy rating on this gaming technology company’s shares with a reduced price target of $61.00. It notes that industry data shows that Aristocrat’s games remained highly compelling to players in the North American market in March. In addition, the company has recently launched three new franchises into the market, some of which are core market favourites and have started off with strong performances. Outside this, the broker believes that Aristocrat’s leading R&D investment will drive market share gains and support further growth. And with a very strong balance sheet, Bell Potter notes that Aristocrat has substantial M&A firepower to boost growth inorganically. The Aristocrat share price is trading at $47.66 on Wednesday.
Flight Centre Travel Group Ltd (ASX: FLT)
A note out of Macquarie reveals that its analysts have retained their outperform rating and $17.95 price target on the travel agent’s shares. This follows the release of a trading update, which revealed that management has retained its guidance for FY 2026. Macquarie notes that this reflects a strong corporate performance, which is offsetting disruption in the leisure segment. Together with ongoing cost discipline and productivity gains, the broker believes the company is well-placed to grow its earnings. The Flight Centre share price is fetching $10.67 at the time of writing.
WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)
Another note out of Bell Potter reveals that its analysts have retained their buy rating and $78.75 price target on this logistics solutions technology company’s shares. This follows the reaffirmation of its guidance at a broker conference this week. Based on what management is targeting in FY 2026, Bell Potter is starting to believe that its FY 2027 forecasts could prove to be conservative. In light of this, the broker is eagerly awaiting its results in August. It sees WiseTech’s FY 2027 guidance as a potential catalyst to driving a re-rating in its share price. The WiseTech Global share price is trading at $44.96 this afternoon.
