If you are on the lookout for big returns to supercharge your investment portfolio, then you may want to take a look at the ASX 200 shares listed below.
They have all recently been named as buys by brokers and tipped to rise between 20% and 50% from current levels. Here's what you need to know about them:
Orora Ltd (ASX: ORA)
This packaging company's shares were sold off last week following the release of a disappointing market update. While analysts at Goldman Sachs were equally disappointed with the update, they believe it is worth sticking with Orora and see huge value in its shares at current levels.
Goldman Sachs currently has a buy rating and $3.00 price target on the ASX 200 share. This implies potential upside of 36% for investors over the next 12 months.
And with the broker also expecting 5%+ dividend yields through to at least FY 2026, the total 12-month potential return stretches beyond 40%.
Qantas Airways Limited (ASX: QAN)
This airline operator's shares have lost almost 20% of their value over the last 12 months. This is despite the Flying Kangaroo delivering huge profits in FY 2023 and so far in FY 2024.
While this is disappointing for shareholders, a number of analysts think it is a compelling buying opportunity for the rest of us.
For example, the team at Morgan Stanley currently has an overweight rating and lofty $8.00 price target on the ASX 200 share. If this recommendation proves accurate, it will mean a return of almost 50% for investors between now and this time next year.
Another positive to consider is that a few brokers believe that Qantas could resume its dividend payments in the near future. Macquarie, which has an outperform rating and $6.00 price target, has pencilled in a 34 cents per share dividend in FY 2025. This represents a very generous 6.25% dividend yield at current prices.
Telstra Group Ltd (ASX: TLS)
You don't generally think of this telco giant as being an ASX 200 share that can generate market-beating returns. But a number of analysts think its shares are seriously undervalued at current levels.
One of those is Morgan Stanley. In response to its half year results in February, the broker put an overweight rating and $4.75 price target on its shares. This suggests potential upside of 24% for investors before dividends and almost 29% including them.
