Goodman Group (ASX: GMG)
The first blue chip ASX 200 share to look at is Goodman Group.
It is a leading integrated commercial and industrial property company with operations across the world. Among its portfolio are warehouses, data centres, large scale logistics facilities, and business and office parks.
Over the last decade, demand for Goodman's properties has been strong and has underpinned sky high occupancy rates and solid earnings growth.
Pleasingly, Goldman Sachs expects this strong growth to continue in FY 2023. In fact, the broker believes "GMG can deliver FY23 growth ahead of initial guidance" of 11%. This is due to "strong development WIP at strong margins" and further assets under management growth.
Goldman currently has a buy rating and $24.20 price target on the company's shares.
Treasury Wine Estates Ltd (ASX: TWE)
Another blue chip ASX 200 share that is highly rated is Treasury Wine. It the global wine giant behind a range of popular brands including Penfolds.
Treasury Wine certainly has been through a lot in recent years (kicked out of China/COVID), but has overhauled its business very successfully. So much so, the team at Morgans believe "the foundations are now in place for TWE to deliver strong earnings growth" in the coming years.
As a result, it will come as no surprise that Morgans has named Treasury Wine as a "key pick".
Its analysts currently have an add rating and $15.71 price target on its shares.
