If you're looking to add some ASX 200 blue-chip shares to your portfolio in December, then the three listed below could be worth considering.
These ASX 200 shares have all been named as buys by brokers recently. Here's what you need to know about them:
Endeavour Group Ltd (ASX: EDV)
Goldman Sachs thinks that Endeavour is an ASX 200 blue chip share to buy. It is the drinks giant behind the BWS and Dan Murphy's brands, as well as a huge network of hotels.
The broker believes that the company's shares are cheap based on its market leadership and positive outlook. It said:
Most attractive valuation amongst Staples peers: We continue to see defensiveness in the company's Retail business with relative market share of ~35% vs COL liquor of ~13%, 5.2mn active My Dan's members. EDV is currently trading at FY24e P/E of 18.4x with FY23-25e EPS CAGR of ~5%, which is the cheapest vs WOW, COL, WES.
Goldman has a conviction buy rating and a $6.40 price target on the company's shares.
Macquarie Group Ltd (ASX: MQG)
Another ASX 200 blue-chip share that could be a buy is Macquarie.
Morgans likes the investment bank for a number of reasons. This includes its exposure to long-term structural growth. The broker explains:
We continue to like MQG's exposure to long-term structural growth areas such as infrastructure and renewables. The company also stands to benefit from recent market volatility through its trading businesses, while it continues to gain market share in Australian mortgages.
Morgans has an add rating and a $182.80 price target on its shares.
ResMed Inc. (ASX: RMD)
A final ASX 200 blue-chip share that has been named as buy is ResMed. It is a sleep treatment-focused medical device company with a portfolio of leading hardware and digital solutions.
Goldman Sachs is also positive on the company and believes recent share price weakness has created a buying opportunity. It said:
We view the risk/reward to be favorable and are Buy-rated. We view valuation as attractive and see a favourable risk-reward skew post the recent de-rate, noting the shares are trading meaningfully below historical averages on both a P/E and EV/EBITDA basis.
Goldman has a buy rating and a $32 price target on the company's shares.
