While the two businesses below are not the biggest or the fastest-growing names, there are numerous buy ratings on them. Let's take a look.

Aussie Broadband Ltd (ASX: ABB)

According to a CommSec collation of analyst ratings, there are currently ten buy ratings on this business. Aussie Broadband says it has more than 1 million services, operates two tier 1 voice providers in Australia, and owns fibre infrastructure. In FY25, it had a market share of 8.4% of NBN services.

In its recent AGM trading update, it said that it's seeing encouraging net new connections growth of approximately 22,600 in the financial year to date, after a round of annual price changes and increased market activity around the NBN speed upgrades.

Aussie Broadband has seen a significant acceleration in net connections growth since mid-September. The company has recently signed five-year deals with both Accor Hotels and Bakers Delight.

The ASX share is expecting operating profit (EBITDA) of between $55 million and $60 million, reflecting growth of between 14% to 21%, demonstrating positive momentum.

Worley Ltd (ASX: WOR)

According to CommSec's collation of analyst ratings, there are currently 11 buy ratings on the business. Worley describes itself as a leading global professional services company of energy, chemicals, and resources experts.

It partners with customers to deliver projects and create value over the life of their assets. It's helping some customers move towards more sustainable energy sources, while helping to provide the energy, chemicals, and resources needed now.

In FY25, the business delivered aggregated revenue of $12 billion (up 4%), underlying operating profit (EBITA – up 10%), and underlying net profit (NPATA) of $475 million (up 14%).

The company is expecting moderate growth in FY26, reflecting the "dynamic macro-economic environment".

For the 2026 financial year, it's targeting revenue growth that's stronger in FY26 than FY25, with growth in underlying EBITA. The underlying EBITA margin (excluding procurement) is expected to be within a range of 9% to 9.5%.

Beyond FY26, the business is "encouraged by a stronger growth trajectory emerging", supported by the quality of its backlog and pipeline, as well as favourable long-term market trends.
