Aristocrat Leisure Ltd (ASX: ALL)

The team at Medallion Financial Group is positive on this gaming technology company and has named it as an ASX 200 share to buy.

It likes the company due to its belief that it offers quality, growth, and attractive returns. It explains:

Aristocrat is a gaming content creation company. It holds market leading positions across land based gaming and digital social casino. The company recently announced a substantial and extended on-market share buy-back, signalling management's confidence in the underlying business and providing a meaningful tailwind to earnings per share growth. Combined with strong cash generation, disciplined capital allocation and ongoing digital expansion opportunities, we believe Aristocrat offers quality, growth and appealing shareholder returns.

Goodman Group (ASX: GMG)

Another ASX 200 share that Medallion Financial Group rates as a buy is Goodman Group.

It believes the market is undervaluing the industrial property giant's long-term growth potential, which is being underpinned by its data centre strategy. Medallion said:

GMG is a global industrial property group and data centre developer. Recent acquisitions and development activity have further strengthened the group's exposure to data centres, artificial intelligence infrastructure and cloud computing demand. Work in progress of $14.5 billion at March 31, 2026 is expected to increase to $18 billion by the end of June. We believe the market is still undervaluing the long term earnings potential of Goodman's data centre strategy.

Woodside Energy Group Ltd (ASX: WDS)

A third ASX 200 share that has been given the thumbs up is energy giant Woodside.

Fairmont Equities believes that Woodside's shares have been oversold recently, creating a buying opportunity for investors. It explains:

We were a buyer of this major energy company prior to the war in Iran. In our view, the recent share price fall presents another buying opportunity. Moving forward, we're expecting tighter crude oil supplies to lead to higher prices. Recent weaker crude oil prices is a response to governments releasing oil from strategic reserves, but they now need to be replenished. As the biggest oil stock on the ASX, Woodside Energy will attract investors when they conclude crude oil prices will be higher for longer.
