How much could $10,000 in these ASX 200 shares be worth by the end of the year?

These ASX 200 stocks could be set for a recovery.

The tough part about volatility is that we ride the ups and downs of market swings. 

So far, in less than two weeks of the month of March, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) has dropped more than 5%. 

Yesterday provided some relief as the ASX 200 recovered slightly after a brutal Monday. 

One positive for investors is that some stocks are now priced at a relative value. 

Here are two ASX 200 stocks investors might consider buying at a low price. 

These have drawn positive forecasts from brokers moving forward.

Megaport Ltd (ASX: MP1)

Megaport is a software-defined network (SDN) service provider that allows customers to connect between around 860 data centres globally.

The majority of its customer connections are to major cloud service providers, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.

It has been caught up in the heavy tech sell-off.

The key consideration for investors is whether AI disruption will help or hinder the company's core product going forward. 

A recent report from Vanguard is worth a read for those interested in this fork in the road for Aussie tech. 

Nevertheless, this ASX 200 stock has drawn some positive targets from brokers after falling 35% year to date. 

Recently, Morgans retained a buy rating with a $16 price target on this ASX 200 stock. 

Following earnings season, Macquarie placed a price target of $23.30 on Megaport shares. 

Based on yesterday's closing price of $8.01, these targets indicate upside of 99% to 190%. 

That means a hypothetical investment of $10,000 at the current price would reach $19,000 to $29,000 in a year's time if Megaport reaches those figures. 

Aristocrat Leisure Ltd (ASX: ALL)

Aristocrat Leisure is an Australian gaming technology company licensed in approximately 340 jurisdictions across more than 100 countries. 

It offers a range of products and solutions in the gaming space, including poker machines and casino management systems.

Its share price has tumbled almost 19% year to date. 

However, analysts are suggesting it has been oversold and now could be priced at a strong value. 

During earnings season, the team at Bell Potter placed a buy rating on the ASX 200 share with a $70 price target. 

Similarly, analysts forecasts via TradingView have a one-year price target of $66.94 on the ASX 200 company. 

From yesterday's closing price of $46.47, that indicates an increase between 44% and 50%. 

If a $10,000 investment was made at the current price, and Aristocrat Leisure shares reached these targets, the initial investment would be worth up to $15,000.
