The S&P/ASX 200 (ASX: XJO) index closed in the red again on Tuesday afternoon.
But while the index trended lower for the day, there are still plenty of great buying opportunities around.
Here are 5 ASX 200 shares I'd buy this week with $10,000.

Flight Centre Travel Group Ltd (ASX: FLT)
Shares in the ASX 200 travel stock climbed 2.45% higher to $12.11 at the close of the ASX on Tuesday. It was welcome news for investors after the shares dropped to a multi-year low of $11.46 late last week.
In FY25, it posted a 10% decline in underlying profit, while revenue rose 3%. The company also announced it was considering selling its stake in bicycle retailer Pedal Group.
Going forward, Flight Centre management said it expects some ongoing turbulence, but thinks the market will stabilise through FY26, and I agree. I think the recent share price plunge represents a great buying opportunity for investors.
Macquarie has a bullish outlook on Flight Centre shares. It has an outperform rating and $16.55 target price on the shares. At the time of writing this represents a huge potential 36.7% increase for opportunistic investors over the next 12 months.
Mesoblast Ltd (ASX: MSB)
There's been a few pieces of news out of the regenerative medicine company recently. It revealed a 69% hike in quarterly net revenue from its Ryoncil® product and 60% net revenue increase, it was recently given an HCPCS J-Code for its approved Ryoncil stem cell therapy by the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and it also revealed that its cell therapy products would not be subject to US tariffs.
It's been a year of strong growth for Mesoblast, but it looks like it's set to continue for some time yet. Bell Potter has a speculative buy recommendation on Mesoblast shares and a price target of $4, which indicates a potential upside of 73.2% at the time of writing.
Droneshield Ltd (ASX: DRO)
Droneshield shares have been a favourite of mine for a while. The ASX 200-listed AI-powered drone technology company has been a great momentum stock this year, surging 341.3% since January
Over the past month the stock has shed 45.11% of its value, with investors selling up and taking their profits after huge annual gains. But, I think this makes for a great buying opportunity ahead of the next period of growth.
Analysts also think the stock could climb higher as defence budgets roll over to the new financial year. Bell Potter recently confirmed its buy rating and $5.30 price target on the ASX stock's shares. That implies a potential 60.1% upside over the next 12 months, from $3.31 at the time of writing.
BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP)
As a global mining giant with exposure to a huge range of commodities, BHP has a scale and strength that its mining peers can't compete with.
At the close of the ASX on Tuesday afternoon the mining giant's shares were up 0.33% at $42.79 a piece. That's 11.43% higher than 6 months ago and 2.15% higher than last month.
I think the stock looks relatively cheap at the moment though, with room to keep growing over the next 12 months. It's a great passive income earner too, with a trailing dividend yield of 4.01%.
Morgan Stanley also thinks the shares are great value right now. It has an overweight rating and $48.00 price target on the stock. That implies a potential 12.2% upside ahead.
Vault Minerals Ltd (ASX: VAU)
Vault Minerals is another ASX 200 stock I have on my radar this week. Its share price ended the day 2.67% higher on Tuesday at 77 cents. For the year-to-date the shares are 116.9% higher.
In FY26 financial year, analysts at UBS think Vault Minerals could make $248 million in net profit. The balance sheet net cash figure could rise to $717 million.
The company's strengthening financials amid a backdrop of strong gold price increases means analysts are optimistic about the outlook for the ASX hold mining stock. Macquarie recently confirmed its outperform rating and $1.00 12-month target price. At the close of the ASX on Tuesday that represents a potential upside of 28.9% for investors.
