With lots of ASX shares to choose from on the Australian 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:
Genesis Minerals Ltd (ASX: GMD)
According to a note out of Bell Potter, its analysts have retained their buy rating on this gold miner’s shares with a trimmed price target of $9.75. This follows news that Genesis Minerals has delivered a definitive proposal to merge with Vault Minerals Ltd (ASX: VAU). Bell Potter points out that if implemented, the enlarged company will have pro-forma production of 600,000 to 700,000 ounces per annum. The broker is positive on this, noting that acquiring Vault Minerals delivers a materially better capital allocation outcome than the company’s current five-year plan assumes. In light of this, the broker thinks investors should be snapping up shares at current levels. The Genesis Minerals share price is currently trading at $6.03.
Life360 Inc. (ASX: 360)
A note out of Citi reveals that its analysts have retained their buy rating on this location technology company’s shares with an improved price target of $31.95. The broker has upgraded its user growth estimates for FY 2026 on the belief that its growth will trough in the second quarter. Citi expects this to be underpinned by new feature launches and integrations with Uber and Apple Watch, which could support engagement and expand its addressable market. The Life360 share price last fetched $27.79.
REA Group Ltd (ASX: REA)
Analysts at Morgans have retained their buy rating on this property listings company’s shares with a reduced price target of $199.00. According to the note, the broker continues to believe that REA Group is one of the highest quality stocks in the classifieds industry. And while there are concerns that trading conditions could be tough due to Federal Budget changes and higher interest rates, Morgans points out that REA Group has levers to pull to offset this weakness. As a result, the broker feels that recent share price weakness is a buying opportunity for investors. The REA Group share price last traded at $143.67.
