Three top ASX shares leading brokers have named as buys this week are listed below. Here's why they are bullish on them:
BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP)
According to a note out of Macquarie, its analysts have retained their outperform rating and lifted their price target on this mining giant's shares to $56.00. The broker remains positive on BHP due to the diversity of its operations. It notes that while iron ore prices have tumbled, BHP is still benefiting from strong copper and coal prices. The BHP share price is trading at $37.46 on Monday afternoon.
Orocobre Limited (ASX: ORE)
Another note out of Macquarie reveals that its analysts have retained their outperform rating and lifted their price target on this lithium miner's shares to $11.80. The broker made the move after upgrading its lithium price forecasts to reflect recent strong rises in China. This has led to an increase in its earnings estimates and valuation for the lithium miner. The Orocobre share price is fetching $8.61 this afternoon.
Webjet Limited (ASX: WEB)
Analysts at UBS have retained their buy rating and lifted their price target on this online travel agent's shares to $6.85.
