CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL)
The CSL share price is $107.34, up 4.3% today.
The ASX 200's largest healthcare share is having a strong week despite no price-sensitive announcements.
Since last Friday's close, CSL shares have spiked 9.6% while the S&P/ASX 200 Health Care Index (ASX: XHJ) has lifted just 3.6%.
CSL shares have fallen 63% over two years, but perhaps a turnaround is afoot?
UBS reiterated its buy rating on CSL shares on Tuesday.
However, the broker lowered its target price from $175 to $158.
This still implies potential capital gains of 47% ahead.

The Flight Centre share price is $10.97, down 3.1%.
This ASX 200 travel share has fallen 26% over six months.

GQG Partners Inc (ASX: GQG)
The GQG Partners share price is $1.46, up 0.3% today.
Over the past six months, this ASX 200 financial share has fallen 17%.
Morgans renewed its accumulate rating on GQG Partners shares yesterday.

While the near-term operating environment remains difficult, we continue to see long-term value in the GQG franchise, trading at ~9x FY1 PE with a ~10% dividend yield.

SRG Global Ltd (ASX: SRG)
The SRG Global share price is $3.69, down 3.5% today.
This ASX 200 industrials share has ascended 32% over six months.
Morgans renewed its buy call on SRG Global shares this week.
The broker also lifted its target price from $3.20 to $4.20.
This implies potential capital growth of 13% over the next year.
Morgans said:
SRG has upgraded FY26 EBITDA guidance to the upper end of its $164-168m range (~$168m) and, unusually early, provided FY27 EBITDA guidance of $190-200m. This underlines the group's strong earnings visibility, which is arguably unparalleled in the services sector.
We forecast SRG reaches net cash in FY26 and, on that basis, expect it to resume acquisitions. We believe SRG may be able to continue to compound +20-30% EPS growth over the next few years as robust organic growth is supplemented by strategic acquisitive growth.
Centuria Capital Group (ASX: CNI)
The Centuria Capital share price is $2.02, up 2.5% today and down 4.3% over six months.
Centuria Capital Group is a funds manager specialising in property investment and investment bonds.
