Key points

  • Aristocrat Leisure has been upgraded to a buy by Morgans, citing strong FY 2025 performance and attractive valuation after a recent price dip, with a set target price of $73 reflecting faith in stable market dynamics.
  • Despite recent share price gains, Domino's Pizza is still viewed as a valuable buy due to its shift to higher-margin pricing strategies and positive AGM updates on performance metrics, with Morgans setting a $25 target.
  • Temple & Webster remains a buy according to Bell Potter, supported by its long-term growth potential and robust market position, with analysts affirming a $19.50 price target post-recent selloff, as they anticipate positive results ahead.

There are a good number of ASX 200 shares to choose from on the local market.

But which ones could be buys right now? Let's take a look at three popular options and see if brokers rate them as buys, holds, or sells. Here's what you need to know:

Aristocrat Leisure Ltd (ASX: ALL)

The team at Morgans has been looking at this gaming technology company following its FY 2025 results. It was pleased with its performance and notes that its result was in line with expectations.

In light of this and recent share price weakness, the broker recently upgraded its shares to a buy rating with a $73.00 price target. It said:

We see no structural shift in market dynamics and remain comfortable with the outlook. ALL reiterated its qualitative guidance for constant currency NPATA growth in FY26 (MorgansF: +10%). Following the result, our EPSA forecasts decrease ~6% across FY26-27F. Given recent share price weakness and a more compelling valuation, we upgrade ALL from Accumulate to Buy, with our 12-month target price reduced to $73 (from $77).

Domino's Pizza Enterprises Ltd (ASX: DMP)

Another ASX 200 share that Morgans has been looking at is pizza chain operator Domino's.

The broker was encouraged by its improving performance. And while its shares have rallied recently, Morgans still sees plenty of value here for investors. As a result, it has put a buy rating and $25.00 price target on its shares. It said:

DMP's FY26 AGM update was positive, in our view, given the company is on track to exceed FY26 consensus NPAT, cost out was quantified, and its gearing metrics are improving. The trading update was weak, with Same-Store Sales (SSS) growth still negative; however, we think this is somewhat irrelevant while the business transitions to its new pricing strategy to drive higher margin sales for franchisees given the noise around the short-term volume impact of less discounting (i.e. lost sales were unprofitable anyway).

While DMP's share price has recently increased ~55% off its lows on the back of potential corporate activity, the stock is still only trading on a FY26F PE of 16x which is a ~30% discount to CKF. With improving confidence in the turnaround, we continue to think the risk reward looks attractive from here. Maintain BUY.

Temple & Webster Group Ltd (ASX: TPW)

Over at Bell Potter, its analysts remain positive on this online furniture and homewares retailer following a selloff in response to its recent trading update.

It has put a buy rating and $19.50 price target on its shares. It continues to believe that Temple & Webster is well-positioned for long term growth. It commented:

Our views are unchanged of TPW's ability to outperform over the long term as market share capture in an expanded TAM is expedited with range, pricing/scale advantages, backed by a strong balance sheet (+$150m cash). Trading at ~2x EV/Sales post the ~40% correction in the share price from the recent peak, we see risk-reward heading into the Feb 1H result and continue to see a buying opportunity. Maintain BUY.
