Whether you're just getting started or looking to top up your portfolio, $5,000 can go a long way when invested in quality Australian shares with long-term growth potential.
The key is to focus on businesses with strong fundamentals, resilient earnings, and strategic opportunities ahead.
With that in mind, here are five Australian shares that brokers think could be worth considering with a $5,000 investment today.
Breville Group Ltd (ASX: BRG)
Breville is a premium kitchen appliance manufacturer with global reach. Its reputation for design, innovation, and quality has helped it expand into North America, Europe, and Asia. While trading conditions have been tough recently, Breville continues to invest in R&D to drive long-term growth. For patient investors, it could pay to buy this Australian share while it is down.
Macquarie certainly thinks that is the case. It has an outperform rating and $40.20 price target on its shares.
CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL)
CSL is one of Australia's most respected healthcare companies, known for its plasma therapies and vaccines. While its shares have underperformed recently, the company remains highly profitable and is experiencing strong global demand for its core products. With margin expansion expected over the coming years and a long runway for growth, CSL could be a high-quality opportunity at a relative discount.
Bell Potter has a buy rating and $335.00 price target on its shares.
Megaport Ltd (ASX: MP1)
Another Australian share that could be a buy with the $5,000 is Megaport. It is a rising star in the global cloud connectivity space. It enables businesses to connect quickly and flexibly to major cloud providers. As digital infrastructure demand grows, Megaport is well positioned to benefit.
Morgans has an add rating and $15.50 price target on its shares.
Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX: NST)
Northern Star is one of Australia's largest gold producers, with tier one assets in Western Australia and Alaska. Gold remains an attractive hedge in uncertain markets, and Northern Star offers both leverage to rising prices and a solid balance sheet. The company also pays a dividend, making it a rare mix of growth, yield, and defensive characteristics.
Morgans is a fan and has an add rating and $25.15 price target on its shares.
Treasury Wine Estates Ltd (ASX: TWE)
Finally, Treasury Wine could be a top Australian share to buy with the $5,000. It is the company behind Penfolds and several other leading wine brands. It has faced headwinds in recent years, particularly in the U.S. market, but recent strategic changes are laying the groundwork for recovery. At current levels, Treasury Wine may offer an attractive entry point for long-term investors.
Morgans believes this is the case. It has a buy rating and $11.06 price target on its shares.
