Core Lithium Ltd (ASX: CXO)

While most brokers are bearish on this lithium miner, Macquarie remains positive and has an outperform rating and $1.30 price target on its shares. Based on the current Core Lithium share price of $1.02, this implies potential upside of 27% for investors.

Liontown Resources Ltd (ASX: LTR)

Macquarie is also positive on this ASX lithium share. Earlier this month, the broker retained its outperform rating on the lithium developer's shares with a $3.00 price target. This suggests potential upside of 11.1% for investors over the next 12 months from current levels.

Mineral Resources Ltd (ASX: MIN)

Morgans is a big fan of this mining and mining services company largely due to its lithium operations. The broker has an add rating and $103.00 price target on its shares. This is 48% higher than the current Mineral Resources share price of $69.82.

Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS)

A third ASX lithium share that Macquarie is bullish on is Pilbara Minerals. The broker has an outperform rating and $7.70 price target on its shares. Based on the latest Pilbara Minerals share price of $4.54, this implies upside of almost 70% for investors.
