Accent Group Ltd (ASX: AX1)

This ASX 300 retail share has a market capitalisation of $565 million.

The Accent share price is 94 cents, down 1.05% on Tuesday. This is a new 52-week low.

Accent is an Australian footwear retailer that owns several popular brands.

They include The Athlete's Foot, Hoka, HypeDC, Platypus, Vans and Skechers.

After a trading update last month, Goldman Sachs reiterated its buy rating on Accent shares.

Accent revealed a 3.7% lift in sales during the first 20 weeks of FY26. This includes wholesale sales and sales from new stores.

On a same-store basis, sales were down 0.4% on the prior corresponding period.

Goldman Sachs analyst James Leigh cut his 12-month price target on Accent shares from $1.70 to $1.20.

This still implies a healthy potential upside of 28% in the new year.

REA Group Ltd (ASX: REA)

This ASX 300 communications share has a market capitalisation of $26 billion.

REA owns the popular realestate.com.au property listings portal.

The REA share price is $195, up 0.6%, on Tuesday.

Last Friday, the REA share price hit a new 52-week low of $189.14.

Morgans has an accumulate rating on REA shares with a 12-month price target of $247 per share.

This implies a potential upside of 27% in the new year.

After REA's 1Q FY26 trading update, Morgans commented:

REA's 1Q26 trading update benefited from a strong yield outcome (+13%), which helped to offset a softer new listings environment in the period (volumes down -8% vs the pcp).

Group revenue was A$429m (+4% on pcp), with EBITDA (ex assoc.) up 5% on pcp to A$254m.

Given REA is trading on ~42x FY26F PE (MorgansE), broadly in line with its 10-year historical average, and now with >10% TSR upside to our valuation we upgrade REA to ACCUMULATE.

Suncorp Group Ltd (ASX: SUN)

This ASX 300 financial share has a market capitalisation of $18 billion.

The Suncorp share price is $16.89, down 0.4%, on Tuesday.

Last Friday, the Suncorp share price hit a fresh 52-week low of $16.63 per share.

UBS has a buy rating on Suncorp shares with a 12-month price target of $22.

This implies a potential 30% upside over the next year for this ASX 300 insurance share.

The broker lowered its earnings forecast for Suncorp recently due to several weather events creating a rise in insurance claims.
