Here's why brokers think investors ought to buy them next week:

Newcrest Mining Ltd (ASX: NCM)
A note out of Goldman Sachs reveals that its analysts have retained their buy rating but trimmed their price target on this gold miner's shares slightly to $30.50. Goldman continues to see a lot of value in the company's shares.

Redbubble Ltd (ASX: RBL)
Analysts at Morgans have retained their add rating and increased their price target on this ecommerce company's shares ever so slightly to $4.84. According to the note, Redbubble's first quarter update fell short of its expectations. However, the broker notes that Redbubble was cycling very strong sales in the prior corresponding period. In light of this, it feels investors should focus more on the long term, which it remains very positive on.
