The benchmark index has slipped 2% already this month.

If you're looking for opportunities during this traditionally weaker month for the market, here are some expert tips.

5 ASX 200 shares with ambitious price targets

A price target is a broker's best guess as to where a stock may be trading by this time next year.

The following ASX 200 shares have price targets suggesting 30% to 45% upside from here.

Let's take a look.

AGL Energy Limited (ASX: AGL)

The AGL share price closed at $8.24 on Tuesday, up 0.12%.

Macquarie has an outperform rating on this ASX 200 utilities share.

Following the energy retailer's FY25 results, the broker put a $10.91 price target on AGL shares.

This indicates a potential rise of more than 30% over the next 12 months.

CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL)

The CSL share price closed at $209.94, down 1.61% yesterday. (One particular factor weighed it down.)

Macquarie has an outperform rating on the ASX 200 healthcare share following the FY25 report.

The broker's price target is $295.90, implying about 40% upside over the next 12 months.

CSL was among a bunch of companies that announced share buyback programs during earnings season.

After its share price slumped, CSL is now among 10 ASX 200 shares trading on a forward P/E ratio below the market average.

Polynovo Ltd (ASX: PNV)

The Polynovo share price closed at $1.39 on Tuesday, down 5.78%.

Macquarie has an outperform rating on Polynovo shares with a price target of $2.

While that's a reduction from the previous target of $2.45, it's still 44% higher than where this healthcare share is now.

After Polynovo's FY25 results, Macquarie noted "several near-term positive catalysts for PolyNovo, with a significant longer-term opportunity in additional indications."

Polynovo is among 9 ASX 200 shares that will be dropped from the benchmark index in the next rebalance, effective 22 September.

WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)

The Wisetech share price closed at $94.36, down 1.04%.

Morgans retained its buy rating on the software provider after the FY25 report.

The ASX 200 tech share was among 11 ASX 100 companies that had the biggest price drops after their results.

Morgans trimmed its Wisetech price target to $127.60, suggesting 35% potential growth from here.

Wisetech is one of more than 35 ASX shares going ex-dividend this week.

Temple & Webster Group Ltd (ASX: TPW)

This ASX 200 retail share finished the day at $22.93 on Tuesday, up 1.87%.

Macquarie has an outperform rating on Temple & Webster shares after its FY25 report.

The broker has a price target of $31.30 on the online furniture retailer.

This implies more than 35% capital growth potential over the next 12 months.

Macquarie analyst James Wilson commented:

We maintain our Outperform rating — seeing momentum from accelerating sales and earnings growth (greater active customers, greater conversion, increased revenue per customer, further operating leverage, and an onmarket buyback).
