With so many shares to choose from on the Australian share market, it can be difficult to decide which ones to buy. The good news is that brokers across the country are doing a lot of the hard work for you.
Three top ASX shares that leading brokers have named as buys this week are outlined below. Here’s why they are bullish on them:
Breville Group Ltd (ASX: BRG)
According to a note out of Macquarie, its analysts have retained their outperform rating and $37.10 price target on this appliance manufacturer’s shares. The broker has been looking at industry data and was pleased with what it saw. This is especially the case given that Breville has outperformed its industry benchmark over almost the whole of the last decade. The good news is that Macquarie appears to believe that this positive form can continue given its coffee products focus and expansion into new markets. It highlights China, India, and Japan as key growth markets for Breville over the long term. The Breville share price is trading at $28.89 on Monday.
Judo Capital Holdings Ltd (ASX: JDO)
A note out of Morgans reveals that its analysts have retained their buy rating on this small business lender’s shares with an improved price target of $2.15. The broker was pleased to see Judo Capital announce a securitisation transaction that is backed by small-medium business loans last week. Given that Judo Capital’s CET1 capital ratio was heading towards 11.5%, and breaching its target, the broker was expecting the company to have to launch a capital raising. However, due to this smart move by management, it shouldn’t need to. Looking ahead, the broker remains positive on the investment opportunity here and believes Judo Capital will deliver strong earnings growth between FY 2026 and FY 2028. The Judo Capital share price is fetching $1.49 at the time of writing.
Newmont Corporation (ASX: NEM)
Analysts at UBS have retained their buy rating and $195.00 price target on this gold giant’s shares. According to the note, the broker has been busy looking at the gold sector and the impact that higher costs could have on miners. It notes that this is coming at a time when the spot gold price has pulled back meaningfully from its highs and consensus expectations. While this is bad news for many gold miners, UBS highlights that Newmont has exposure to copper, which it believes will soften the blow. As a result, it remains positive and has named the company as one of its preferred gold exposures. The Newmont share price is trading at $150.72 on Monday afternoon.
