There are plenty of ASX shares out there for investors to choose from.
To narrow things down, let's see what analysts are saying about three popular shares, courtesy of The Bull. Here's what they are recommending:

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA)
The team at Red Leaf Securities has been looking at the shares of banking giant CBA.
While the equity specialist acknowledges that CBA is Australia's highest quality bank, its credit quality is strong, and its half-year results were ahead of expectations, it believes its shares are fully valued. As a result, it has put a hold rating on them. It explains:
CBA remains the highest quality bank, supported by scale, technology leadership and a dominant retail franchise. Credit quality is stable, arrears are contained and capital levels are strong. Recent half year results in fiscal year 2026 beat expectations, which the market welcomed. However, much of this quality is already reflected in its premium valuation.
With loan growth moderating and net interest margins normalising, earnings growth is likely to be steady as opposed to spectacular. The dividend supports total returns, making it a reliable core holding. Upside is limited at current prices. However, existing investors should maintain exposure, while new capital may find better growth or valuation opportunities elsewhere.
Nextdc Ltd (ASX: NXT)
Over at EnviroInvest, its analysts are positive on this data centre operator and have named it as a buy this week.
The investment company believes structural demand and execution momentum are reasons to buy. It said:
NextDC develops and operates data centres across Australia. Net revenue of $189.2 million in the first half of fiscal year 2026 rose 13 per cent on the prior corresponding period. Underlying EBITDA of $9.9 million was up 9 per cent. NXT sources renewable energy for its facilities and designs highly efficient cooling systems, reducing carbon intensity per megawatt. Digital infrastructure is energy intensive, but efficient operators are poised to benefit. Structural demand and execution momentum, in our view, support further upside.
WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)
Finally, Red Leaf Securities has named WiseTech shares as a buy this week.
It highlights that the tech stock has a structurally de-risked path to margin expansion. It explains:
WTC develops and provides software solutions to the global logistics industry. Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be embedded across its software, which is likely to cut 2000 jobs in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. AI enhances productivity across CargoWise logistics datasets and global integrations. First half revenue in fiscal year 2026 exceeded expectations. Synergies from e2open were delivered 18 months early and customer retention remains about 99 per cent. With dominant network effects across more than 190 countries, improving cost discipline and scalable growth opportunities, WiseTech offers a structurally de-risked path to margin expansion.
