Volatility may be testing investors' nerves, but that hasn't stopped analysts at Bell Potter from identifying some seriously high-quality opportunities on the ASX.

These aren't just solid ASX shares — they're businesses with long runways, strong earnings growth, and standout market positions.

The first three we looked at can be found here. Now here are three more ASX shares Bell Potter believes could be among the best to buy now.

CAR Group Ltd (ASX: CAR)

The first ASX share that could be a top buy according to the broker is CAR Group. The name behind Carsales.com.au, it is a global online marketplace for automotive and non-automotive vehicles. It combines world-class advertising technology with a scalable expansion strategy — and it has been working wonders for years.

Bell Potter is feeling bullish following recent share price weakness, seeing it as a buying opportunity in a business with long-term resilience. It explains:

The company presents an attractive investment opportunity following its recent pullback, with the stock trading at a 12-month forward P/E of ~30x and ~14% projected earnings growth over the next few years.

CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL)

CSL barely needs an introduction — it is one of the world's largest plasma companies, with a long history of research excellence and capital efficiency.

Bell Potter expects a meaningful margin recovery to begin this year, leading to above-market earnings growth over the next few years. In light of this, its strong pipeline, high returns on equity, and attractive valuation, the broker feels that now is the time to buy. It said:

CSL presents an attractive buying opportunity as we anticipate the start of a margin recovery phase for CSL, driving above-market earnings growth over the next few years. CSL trades at a 12-month forward PE of ~22x, representing a discount to its 10-year average of ~31x.

Goodman Group (ASX: GMG)

Finally, Goodman could be another ASX share to buy now according to the broker. It is a specialist in industrial and digital infrastructure. This includes logistics facilities, e-commerce hubs, and data centres. As the world digitises and storage needs increase, Goodman is sitting right in the sweet spot.

Following a recent pullback, Bell Potter believes its valuation now looks compelling. The broker explains:

GMG presents an attractive opportunity, particularly following its recent pullback after the capital raise. The company is well-leveraged to data centres, a high-growth sector that is driving a strong future development pipeline at higher margins.
