There are a range of potential ASX share opportunities Australians can buy. Some of them are well-liked by analysts.

When one expert likes a business, that’s interesting. When numerous analysts think a stock is a buy, that could signify there’s an appealing opportunity for investors.

While brokers aren’t unanimous on the stocks below, some experts predict they could deliver strong returns.

Regis Healthcare Ltd (ASX: REG)

Regis describes itself as one of the largest aged care operators in Australia. It provides services to more than 10,000 older Australians through residential aged care homes, home care service hubs, day therapy and respite centres, and retirement villages.

The company recently noted that the Australian national aged care classification (AN-ACC) starting price will increase 2.55% to $303.19 starting 1 October 2026. However, the company thinks that the AN-ACC starting price is significantly below the prevailing cost inflation across the sector and the broader economy.

Regis is undertaking a range of initiatives to mitigate ongoing margin pressure related to government funding settings. This includes raising room prices, rolling out higher everyday living fee (HELF) services, and other revenue optimisation and operational efficiency initiatives.

In FY26, revenue from services grew 16% to $1.35 billion and statutory net profit grew 14% to $55.7 million. This helped total FY26 dividends grow by 13% to 18.4 cents per share.

According to CMC Invest, there have been six analyst ratings on the ASX share in the last three months, with two of those being buys, and four of them being holds.

The average price target from those analysts is currently $6.08, which suggests a possible 34% gain over the next year for the ASX share.

Superloop Ltd (ASX: SLC)

The other ASX share I want to highlight is an ASX telco share. The business offers three segments – consumer, business and wholesale. It provides NBN connections and owns and operates extensive fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) and managed Wi-Fi networks that serve residential and commercial communities.

Superloop reported strong growth metrics in FY26, with 21.6% revenue growth to $664.3 million, gross profit growth of 23.8% to $234.8 million, underlying operating profit (EBITDA) growth of 33.1% to $122.7 million and underlying net profit (NPATA) growth of 34.2% to $37.9 million. It also reported free cash flow growth of 50% to $84.4 million.

The ASX share’s customer base continues to improve. Its number of customers improved by 28% to 935,000, while its NBN market share increased 1.9 percentage points to 8.5% during FY26.

By FY29, the ASX share is targeting $1 billion of revenue, $200 million of underlying EBITDA and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of reported earnings per share (EPS) of more than 30%.

According to CMC Invest, there have been seven ratings on the business within the last three months, with five ratings buys and two holds. The average price target of those analysts is $3.82, suggesting a possible 42% gain over the next 12 months.

I think one of the best things we can do for our children financially, aside from teaching them about money, is to invest in ASX shares for the long term and let compounding work its magic.

As a family, we like to occasionally invest for our child’s future. At some point, that money can provide for them in some way, whether that’s a lump sum for a specific purpose or regular dividends to contribute towards certain things.

For multiple reasons, we decided to invest in Future Generation Global Ltd (ASX: FGG).

Diversification

Future Global Generation is a listed investment company (LIC) that’s invested in the funds of more than a dozen fund managers. Some of the fund managers include Vinva, Life Cycle, Cooper Investors, Antipodes, Plato and Paradice.

That means the ASX share can provide investors like me with good diversification. The portfolio is invested in more than 3,000 underlying securities, which is amazing diversification in my view.

The portfolio is spread across a number of geographic regions, making it pleasingly diversified by market as well. Around half of the portfolio is invested in North America, approximately a fifth is invested in the UK and Europe, close to 10% is invested in Asia, approximately 5% in other developed markets, around 1% in emerging markets, and the rest is a cash position.

One of the most appealing aspects of Future Generation Global is that it donates 1% of its net assets to youth mental health charities. Some of the charities it supports include Youth Opportunities, Prevention United, Back Track, Big hArt, Happy Paws Happy Hearts and Smiling Mind.

Dividends

Future Generation Global is one of the most compelling ASX dividend shares around, in my view. It offers an attractive combination of a good dividend yield and rising payouts.

The business has steadily increased its annual payout each year since FY19. Many large ASX shares haven’t delivered consistent payout growth this decade amid COVID-19 and inflation headwinds.

The business has guided its regular dividend is going to be hiked by 5% to 8.4 cents per share. That translates into a grossed-up dividend yield of 7.5%, including franking credits, at the time of writing.

Few ASX businesses have a dividend yield that high and have increased their payout for as many years in a row.

If I want to access the dividends over time, then this is a very rewarding choice.

Total shareholder returns

A key reason why I wanted to choose this ASX share with my child in mind is that it’s a great choice for long-term compounding. By reinvesting the dividends, I think our Future Generation Global holding can increase in value.

The total shareholder return (TSR) measure tells investors how much of a return an investment has made when we include both the dividends and the capital growth.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns of course, but Future Generation Global has delivered an average TSR of 16.8% per year in the last three years and an average of 7.8% per year over the past decade.

This return is strong enough to help deliver pleasing compound growth over time.

Deciding which ASX shares are buys and which ones are sells can be difficult. 

To help you figure things out, let’s look at three ASX shares that experts are tipping as sells this week, courtesy of The Bull. 

Here’s what they are saying:

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA)

Shaw and Partners has named this big four bank as an ASX share to sell this week.

It highlights that CBA shares continue to trade at a significant premium to peers despite its subdued earnings growth outlook. It said:

In our view, the stock trades at a significant premium to domestic peers and on historical valuations. While the bank maintains a high quality franchise and strong market position, earnings growth is expected to remain modest amid competitive lending conditions and regulatory pressures. 

Recent Federal Government initiatives aimed at increasing housing supply and improving affordability is likely to lead to intensifying competition across the mortgage market and place pressure on lending margins. Current valuations leave limited scope for further earnings driven upside. Investors may wish to take profits and re-deploy capital into opportunities offering stronger risk-adjusted return potential.

Fortescue Ltd (ASX: FMG)

The team at RaaS Group has named iron ore giant Fortescue as an ASX share to sell.

It thinks the outlook for iron ore is less appealing than other commodities. It said:

The iron ore producer generated revenue of $US16.966 billion in full year 2026, up 9 per cent on the prior corresponding period. Statutory net profit after tax of $US2.860 billion was down 15 per cent, which included a $US525 million non-cash impairment charge relating to the Iron Bridge project and a $US73 million compensation claim expense. The final, fully franked dividend of 46 cents a share was down from 60 cents a year ago. 

Capital expenditure and investment guidance in full year 2027 is forecast to increase on full year 2026. The outlook for the iron ore price isn’t as appealing as other commodities. The share price has fallen from $22.99 on May 14 to trade at $17.22 on September 10.

Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW)

Shaw and Partners has also named supermarket giant Woolworths as an ASX share to sell.

While it acknowledges that Woolworths is a quality business, it thinks investors should be taking profit after a recent rally and focusing on investments with a more attractive risk-reward profile. Shaw and Partners said:

The supermarket group has experienced a strong recovery in the past year, with the share price recently trading near the upper end of its historical range. While the company remains high quality with a leading position in Australian food retailing, much of the recent improvement appears to be reflected in the WOW share price. Earnings growth is expected to remain relatively steady rather than exceptional, limiting scope for further share price appreciation from current levels. 

Following the recent rally, investors may consider taking profits before re-allocating capital to opportunities with stronger growth potential and a more attractive risk-reward profile.
