Breville Group Ltd (ASX: BRG)
This kitchen appliance manufacturer could be an ASX 200 share to buy according to Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs believes that Breville is well-placed for growth over the coming years. In fact, the broker is forecasting double-digit earnings growth despite the tough economic environment. It explained:
[We] expect BRG will continue to execute on GP margin expansion. We remain supportive of BRG's characteristics as a high quality name in a secular growth category and believe they will be able to demonstrate revenue and EBIT CAGR of 7.6% and 11.1% over FY22-25.
Goldman has a buy rating and $22.70 price target on its shares. This compares to the latest Breville share price of $20.30.
Qantas Airways Limited (ASX: QAN)
Another ASX 200 share that has been named as a buy by Goldman Sachs is Qantas.
It is of course the flag carrier airline of Australia and the operator of the Qantas and Jetstar brands. The company also has a lucrative loyalty business and an important freight business.
Goldman is a big fan of the company. It has been impressed with its post-pandemic transformation. It commented:
Notwithstanding a decline in unit revenues (and group capacity still at 96% of pre-COVID), our estimated FY24e EPS sits 65% above pre-COVID levels. Despite this, QAN's market capitalisation is 1% below pre-COVID levels (EV 14% lower). We acknowledge broader macro uncertainty at this point in the cycle, but we believe the current share price does not reflect the group's improved earnings capacity.
Goldman has a conviction buy rating and $8.30 price target on its shares.
