Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX: NST)
This gold giant could be an ASX 200 share to buy according to Morgans.
It was pleased with its quarterly update and its decision to return funds to shareholders through an on-market share buy-back.
Overall, Morgans sees plenty of value in the gold miner's shares at current levels and has put a buy rating and $30.00 price target on them. Based on its current share price, this implies potential upside of almost 40% for investors. It also expects a 2.5% dividend yield in FY 2026, boosting the total potential return further.
Commenting on its quarterly update, the broker said:
Gold sold of 381koz at AISC of A$2,709/oz beat our revised expectations, with sequential improvement across all three production centres following ongoing production issues. KCGM Mill Expansion on track for commissioning in early FY27; FY26 guidance has been provided and is above 1,500koz at AISC of A$2,600–2,800/oz. Net cash of A$320m; A$500m on-market buy-back announced, commencing ~23 April. We maintain our BUY rating, price target A$30.00ps (unchanged).
WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)
The team at Bell Potter has trimmed its valuation of this logistics solutions technology company. However, even after this revision, it sees potential for WiseTech Global's shares to rise very strongly over the next 12 months.
The broker has put a buy rating and $78.75 price target on them. Based on its current share price of $44.44, this implies potential upside of almost 80% for investors over the next 12 months.
Bell Potter believes the current discount that the ASX 200 share is trading on is excessive, especially given its strong competitive moat. It explains:
We note that WiseTech is currently trading at >30% discount to Technology One on an EV/EBITDA basis in both FY26 and FY27. While we believe some sort of discount is now warranted, we believe the current discount is excessive given WiseTech has greater forecast earnings growth over the medium term and also a similar strong competitive moat due to 30 years of proprietary data, deeply embedded software and high switching costs.
