Key points
  • One ASX stock has suffered from margin concerns and tariff fears, but its ongoing growth in plasma collection and product pipeline presents a buying opportunity.
  • Another stock is down amid weaker sales and consumer caution, yet its strong brand equity and China market re-entry offer recovery potential.
  • A third stock has experienced a dip due to competition, but its leading market position and online presence make it a strong long-term prospect.

It is often said that the best time to buy quality ASX stocks is when they're temporarily out of favour.

Right now, several blue-chip names are trading near 52-week lows after a tough year on the market. And while short-term challenges have weighed on their share prices, the underlying businesses remain strong.

For investors with $3,000 to put to work, here are three rock-bottom ASX stocks that analysts think could be worth grabbing today.

CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL)

CSL has long been regarded as one of the highest-quality stocks on the ASX, thanks to its global leadership in blood plasma therapies and vaccines. Yet in 2025, the biotech giant's shares have slumped around 27%, dragged down by concerns over a slower-than-expected recovery in its margins, uncertainty surrounding the proposed spin-off of its Seqirus vaccine arm, and fears about the impact of US pharmaceutical tariffs.

Despite the noise, CSL continues to grow its plasma collection network, expand its product pipeline, and invest in new US facilities to mitigate tariff risks. Furthermore, analysts still expect solid earnings growth in the coming years, which could make the current share price weakness a long-term buying opportunity.

Macquarie believes this is the case. It has an outperform rating and $295.90 price target on its shares.

Treasury Wine Estates Ltd (ASX: TWE)

Treasury Wine Estates is best known for premium wine labels like Penfolds, which enjoy strong brand recognition around the world. However, its shares are down a hefty 37% in 2025 as weaker premium wine sales and a cautious consumer environment have weighed on results.

Even so, Treasury Wine continues to hold enviable global distribution networks and brand equity. With consumer conditions likely to improve once household pressures ease, its premium positioning could drive a recovery. As could its re-entry into the China market after trade tariffs were lifted. For investors willing to ride out short-term volatility, this ASX stock offers exposure to a quality consumer brand trading at depressed levels.

Morgans thinks this is a buying opportunity. It recently put a buy rating and $10.10 price target on its shares.

Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW)

Woolworths is another blue-chip ASX stock that has lost favour with the market this year. Its shares are down 20% over the past 12 months as the supermarket giant lost market share to Coles after it executed better on its value offering amid the high cost of living.

Yet Woolworths still commands a leading position in Australia's supermarket sector, has a strong online presence, and continues to benefit from steady cash generation. As household budgets eventually recover and Woolworths sharpens its competitive edge, the business looks well placed to regain its footing.

Ord Minnett sees this as a good time to buy. It has a buy rating and $33.00 price target on its shares.
