Knowing which ASX 200 shares to avoid can be just as important as knowing which ones to buy when aiming to maximise portfolio returns.
So, with that in mind, let's see which shares analysts are tipping as sells this week, courtesy of The Bull.
Here's what they are bearish on:

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA)
The team at Alto Capital thinks that CBA is an ASX 200 share to sell this week.
Due to the banking giant's current valuation, it thinks investors should consider taking profits. It explains:
Australia's largest retail bank enjoys a dominant position across mortgages, deposits and consumer banking. The company recently reported a record first half cash net profit after tax in 2026 of $5.445 billion, supported by lending growth and strong deposit volumes. Recently, the share price had re-rated significantly and traded at a premium to domestic peers and global banking counterparts. With much of the operational strength already reflected in the valuation, the risk-reward balance favours taking profits at current levels.
JB Hi-Fi Ltd (ASX: JBH)
Over at Fairmont Equities, its analysts think that retail giant JB Hi-Fi could be an ASX share to sell now.
The equities firm believes that higher fuel prices and interest rates could weigh on the performance of discretionary retail stocks. It said:
With interest rates possibly rising again on top of higher fuel prices, we would be cautious about discretionary retail stocks. Households are under increasing pressure from higher cost of living expenses, which could result in consumers cutting discretionary spending. This consumer electronics giant faces the challenge of sustaining revenue and earnings in a potentially softer economy. From a charting perspective, the share price remains in a downtrend. The shares have fallen from $121 on August 20, 2025 to trade at $78.10 on April 30, 2026. We would be inclined to cash in some gains at this stage of the cycle.
Westpac Banking Corp (ASX: WBC)
Fairmont Equities has also named big four bank Westpac as an ASX 200 share to sell this week.
It thinks that a recent trading update shows that economic conditions could be getting challenging. As a result, it would not be surprised to see Westpac shares take a tumble. Fairmont Equities said:
We had previously been bullish on the banks when they were trending higher from high levels of momentum. However, they are stalling at current levels. A recent trading update by WBC indicated economic conditions could be getting tougher in response to rising interest rates, inflation and potential fuel shocks. In our view, challenging economic conditions are likely to impact lending activity and credit quality. Even a robust dividend yield may not be enough to prevent a further slide in WBC's share price.
