With so many shares to choose from on the Australian share market, it can be difficult to decide which ones to buy. The good news is that brokers across the country are doing a lot of the hard work for you.

Catapult Sports Ltd (ASX: CAT)
According to a note out of Morgans, its analysts have retained their buy rating and $6.25 price target on this sports technology company's shares. The broker has updated its forecasts to incorporate the Impect and IsoLynx transactions. Outside this, Morgans has previously spoken about how it believes Catapult is well-positioned to grow its top line by 20% per annum over the next three years to reach US$180 million by FY 2028. In light of this, the broker sees plenty of value on offer here and appears to see recent share price weakness as a buying opportunity for investors. The Catapult share price is trading at $3.59 on Monday.
Coles Group Ltd (ASX: COL)
A note out of Morgan Stanley reveals that its analysts have retained their overweight rating and $24.00 price target on this supermarket giant's shares. The broker highlights that Coles shares are trading at a discount to rival Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW). However, it believes this valuation gap is unjustified and should close given its strong performance so far and the prospect of a strong finish to FY 2026. The Coles share price is fetching $20.90 at the time of writing.
Goodman Group (ASX: GMG)
Analysts at Macquarie have retained their outperform rating and $32.20 price target on this industrial property company's shares. According to the note, the broker highlights that REITs have underperformed the market this year amid concerns over higher interest rates. This is despite half-year results in the sector coming in largely ahead of expectations in February and earnings per share forecasts only falling marginally in response to rising interest rate expectations. Macquarie notes that it has a preference for quality and growth at a reasonable price in the current environment and Goodman ticks these boxes as one of its preferred exposures in the sector. This is especially the case given that the company offers resilient double-digit earnings growth, which is being supported by its data centre opportunity. The Goodman share price is trading at $26.43 on Monday.
