Key points

  • A leading biotech company is seen as a strong buy due to minimal impact from potential pricing changes and expected solid earnings growth.
  • A data centre operator has secured significant new contracts, leading analysts to view its shares as undervalued despite some EBITDA concerns.
  • Improving residential sentiment and supportive industry factors drive positive outlooks for a major property company's sales volumes.

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:

CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL)

According to a note out of UBS, its analysts have retained their buy rating and $300.00 price target on this biotechnology company's shares. The broker has been looking at the impact that Most Favored Nation (MFN) pricing could have on CSL. It estimates that only around 10% of CSL's US sales are exposed to MFN, which would have a modest impact on its future earnings compared to the worst-case scenario. In addition, it sees limited consumer demand impacts from MFN pricing. And there is a chance that the company could receive full exemption depending on its investments in facilities in the US market. As a result, the broker remains positive and continues to forecast solid earnings growth from CSL in the coming years. The CSL share price is trading at $204.71 on Monday afternoon.

DigiCo Infrastructure REIT (ASX: DGT)

Another note out of UBS reveals that its analysts have retained their buy rating and $4.90 price target on this data centre operator's shares. This follows news that Digico has secured new customer wins from a combination of Hyperscale, Neocloud, Enterprise and Government customers. These contracts will increase Digico's Australian contracted IT capacity to 41MW by June 2026, which is 57% higher than its previous 2026 target of 26MW. UBS estimates that this suggests that the company is on target to achieve consensus earnings estimates for FY 2027. And while it does have concerns about its EBITDA per MW potentially being lower than expected, UBS remains positive and sees its shares as undervalued at current levels. The DigiCo share price is fetching $2.91 at the time of writing.

Stockland Corporation Ltd (ASX: SGP)

Analysts at Morgan Stanley have retained their overweight rating and $6.90 price target on this property company's shares. According to the note, the broker's research indicates that residential sentiment is improving. It believes this is a positive for Stockland and should be supportive of growing sales volumes. This is particularly the case given how house prices are expected to continue increasing and the new First Home Guarantee is likely to be supportive of the industry. The Stockland share price is trading at $6.22 on Monday.
