CLSA tips 27% upside on Beach Energy share price

Our first broker upgrade among ASX 200 shares today is Beach Energy Ltd (ASX: BPT).

Beach Energy shares are down on Tuesday, falling 2.4% to $1.57. This follows an 8% dive yesterday after the company released its full-year FY23 results.

CLSA has raised its rating on the ASX 200 energy share to buy with a $2 price target. This implies a 27% upside on today's price.

However, other brokers are not sharing the love.

Citi has cut Beach Energy to sell with a $1.55 price target.

Goldman Sachs has cut its rating to neutral with a $1.70 price target.

Morgans Financial has cut its rating to hold with a $1.60 price target.

REA share price to rise 12% in 12 months, says Macquarie

The REA Group Ltd (ASX: REA) share price is up 1% to $159.06 in early trading on Tuesday.

Macquarie has raised its rating on the ASX communications share to neutral today, with a 12-month share price target of $178.

This implies a potential 12% upside on the online property advertising company over the next year.

REA released its full-year FY23 results last week, revealing a 9% reduction in net profit to $372 million.

However, this was a tad ahead of expectations and sent the REA share price rising on the day.

ASX 200 REIT share should rise despite 1H FY23 loss

The GPT Group (ASX: GPT) share price is up 2.15% on Tuesday to $4.27 at the time of writing.

Broker JP Morgan thinks the real estate investment trust (REIT) will rise from here. It has raised its rating to overweight with a $4.80 price target on the ASX 200 share.

This implies a potential 12% upside from today's level.

GPT Group announced its half-year FY23 results yesterday. The REIT revealed a net loss after tax of $1.1 million with property valuations down $341.3 million.

However, the REIT said it remains on track to meet its full-year guidance.

We recently revealed the ASX REITs that delivered the best returns over the past three years.
