With so many shares to choose from on the Australian share market, it can be difficult to decide which ones to buy. The good news is that brokers across the country are doing a lot of the hard work for you.

Three top ASX shares that leading brokers have named as buys this week are listed below. Here's why they are bullish on them:

Amcor (ASX: AMC)

According to a note out of Macquarie, its analysts have retained their outperform rating on this packaging company's shares with a reduced price target of $17.46. Macquarie notes that Amcor delivered a quarterly result that was short of expectations. This was due to lower than expected group volumes during the fourth quarter, with North America a key area of weakness. However, it remains positive and highlights that its shares are cheap at 11x forward earnings and with a dividend yield of 5.9%. Especially given that it is expecting a compound annual growth rate of 10% for earnings per share over the next three years. The Amcor share price is trading at $13.26 today.

Liontown Resources Ltd (ASX: LTR)

A note out of Bell Potter reveals that its analysts have retained their speculative buy rating on this lithium miner's shares with an improved price target of $1.15. This follows the completion of a major capital raising this month. The broker notes that the placement provides an extended funding runway should lithium prices weaken and flexibility in the event of a market recovery. In addition, it points out that Liontown recently hosted a Kathleen Valley investor site tour which highlighted the asset's quality and the high calibre of management. It believes the overall modern build-quality will support Liontown in attracting and retaining an aligned workforce. The Liontown share price is fetching 89.5 cents at the time of writing.

Temple & Webster Group Ltd (ASX: TPW)

Analysts at Citi have retained their buy rating on this online furniture and homewares retailer's shares with an improved price target of $34.32. According to the note, the broker was pleased with the company's performance in FY 2025. And while its net profit was softer than expected, its EBITDA was stronger. It was also pleased to see that its sales growth has been strong so far in FY 2026. Looking ahead, the broker believes that Temple & Webster is a growth and operating leverage story and is expecting strong margin expansion in the future. The Temple & Webster share price is trading at $23.55 this afternoon.
