Whether you are a growth investor, value investor, or dividend investor, there's something for everyone on the Australian share market.
Let's take a look at three ASX 200 shares that could be quality options for investors of these persuasions. They are as follows:
Eagers Automotive Ltd (ASX: APE)
The first ASX 200 share we are going to look at is for dividend investors, Eagers Automative. It is one of the largest automotive retail groups in the Australia and New Zealand region.
Bell Potter believes that some very attractive fully franked dividends will be landing in shareholder pockets in the near term.
The broker is expecting the company to pay dividends of 66.5 cents per share in FY 2024 and then 73 cents per share in FY 2025. Based on its current share price of $11.07, this will mean generous dividend yields of 6% and 6.6%, respectively.
In addition, the broker sees plenty of upside on offer with its shares. Bell Potter has a buy rating and $13.35 price target on them. This implies potential upside of 20% for investors over the next 12 months.
IPH Ltd (ASX: IPH)
For value investors, IPH could be an ASX 200 share to buy. It is a leading intellectual property solutions company with operations across the globe.
The team at Goldman Sachs thinks that IPH's shares are seriously undervalued by the market at current levels.
The broker is forecasting earnings per share growth of 6% to 37 cents per share in FY 2025. After which, it then expects further growth of 8% to 40 cents in FY 2026 and 5% to 42 cents in FY 2027.
Based on its current share price of $5.71, this means that its shares are changing hands at 15.4x estimated FY 2025 earnings and 14.3x estimated FY 2026 earnings.
Goldman feels this is too cheap and highlights that it is "trading on a material NTM P/E discount to its historical average multiple." It then adds that "with defensive earnings, strong cash flow and M&A optionality, [its analysts] believe risk-reward is skewed to the upside."
The broker has a buy rating and $8.25 price target on its shares. This implies potential upside of 44% for investors.
Megaport Ltd (ASX: MP1)
Finally, if you are a growth investor, it could be worth checking out leading global provider of elastic interconnection services, Megaport.
This ASX 200 share has been growing at a rapid rate in recent years thanks to the cloud computing and artificial intelligence boom, which are driving strong demand for its services.
Goldman Sachs notes that the company is "benefiting from increasingly complex cloud environment and connectivity demands, while its product-led growth remains robust, supporting its positive net revenue retention and revenue tailwinds over the medium term."
The broker expects "robust top-line growth, with the increased focus on profitable growth supporting an attractive earnings profile over FY24-26."
As a result, it has put a buy rating and $12.00 price target on its shares. This suggests that upside of 60% is possible from current levels.
