Domino's Pizza Enterprises Ltd (ASX: DMP)

This pizza chain operator's shares could generate big returns according to analysts at Goldman Sachs.

Last week, the broker reaffirmed its buy rating and $40.20 price target on the ASX 200 share. This implies potential upside of 33% for investors over the next 12 months.

Its analysts believe that a re-rating could be on the cards in the near term. They said:

The stock is trading at FY26e P/E of ~17x, below that of CKF and global QSR peers; and we expect reversion to LFL sales growth while network units stabilize and cost initiatives begin to materialize and drive re-rating.

HMC Capital Ltd (ASX: HMC)

Bell Potter thinks that this alternative asset manager could be an ASX 200 share to buy right now.

The broker has a buy rating and $13.50 price target on its shares. This suggests that they could rise 42% over the next 12 months.

Bell Potter highlights that the company's shares look cheap compared to peers following a recent pullback. Its analysts said:

[I]t has been remarkable half year period for HMC and we upgrade to Buy (was Hold). We think the share price pull-back provides an attractive entry point as the platform is reaching a scale and breadth sweet spot juncture which could see fee-earning capability increase further yet, and screens inexpensively vs. key global alternative AM and real estate fund manager peers.

Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW)

Goldman also sees Woolworths as an ASX 200 share to buy now and expects some big returns over the next 12 months.

It has a buy rating and $36.10 price target on the supermarket giant's shares. This implies potential upside of 20% for investors from current levels.

The broker feels that its shares are being undervalued by the market. It said:

The stock is trading at FY26e P/E of ~20x, approximately -1std below its historical average, we expect recovery in market share and cost discipline and scaling of retail media to drive recovery in AU Food EBIT margin, with trough earnings in NZ/W Living also support earnings recovery from 2H25 onwards.
