CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL)
The CSL share price closed at $107.51 on Friday, up 0.3%.
The ASX 200 healthcare share jumped 9.8% last week while its peers in the S&P/ASX 200 Health Care Index (ASX: XHJ) rose 3.3%.
The CSL share price has cratered over the past two years, but many experts maintain a positive view on the former blue-chip.
There is a consensus moderate buy rating on CSL shares among 18 analysts on the Commsec trading platform today.
UBS renewed its buy rating on CSL shares with a 12-month price target of $158 last week.
This suggests potential capital gains of 47% ahead.
Waratah Minerals Ltd (ASX: WTM)
The Waratah Minerals share price closed out the week at 61 cents, down 1.6% on Friday.
Bell Potter reiterated its speculative buy rating after Waratah Minerals released new assay results last week.
The explorer is conducting an 80,000-metre drill program at its Spur Gold and Copper Project in NSW.
Bell Potter said:
The Spur project is showing strong indications of delivering a gold-copper deposit of substantial scale and grade in a strategic setting.
We see potential for the delineation of a regionally significant gold Resource of 2.5-3.0Moz at competitive gold grades between 0.8-1.0g/t Au.
The broker has an unchanged price target of $1.05, which indicates a potential 73% upside ahead.
Deep Yellow Ltd (ASX: DYL)
The Deep Yellow share price finished Friday's session at $1.42, up 4%.
Jefferies upgraded this ASX uranium share to a buy rating last week.
The broker has a target of $1.90, which implies 34% upside from here.
Graincorp Ltd (ASX: GNC)
The Graincorp share price closed at $5.18 on Friday, up 1.2%.
Ord Minnett has a buy rating and a $7.25 target on the ASX 200 consumer staples share.
This suggests potential capital growth of 40% ahead.
The broker said:
The FY27 crop is likely to be smaller than FY26, but it is now unlikely to be the disaster it was shaping up to be. In Ord Minnett's view, this makes the 21% retracement in the GrainCorp share price since 14 May seem like a significant overreaction.
South32 Ltd (ASX: S32)
The South32 share price closed out the week at $4.52, up 3.4% on Friday.
Citi has reaffirmed its buy rating on this ASX 200 mining share.
Analyst Ephrem Ravi has a price target of $6.10.
This implies a potential 35% upside ahead.
Judo Capital Holdings Ltd (ASX: JDO)
The Judo share price finished Friday's session at $1.44, up 1.4%.
Morgans renewed its buy call on the ASX bank share with a $2.15 price target.
This implies a potential 50% upside over the next 12 months.
