The team at Morgans has released a number of broker notes this week covering well-known ASX shares.

Let's see if its analysts rate the following three shares as buys, holds, or sells. Here's what you need to know:

Netwealth Group Ltd (ASX: NWL)

Morgans was pleased with this investment platform provider's contract win with Morgan Stanley. It believes this is a testament to the quality of its offering.

However, it isn't quite enough for a buy rating. Morgans has put an accumulate rating (between buy and hold) and $27.50 price target on Netwealth's shares. It commented:

NWL's recent win with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management represents strong early validation of NWL's iHIN offering and expansion into the broker segment of the market, which represents a net-flows tailwind into FY27-FY30. We see NWL's incremental investment into FY27 as a doubling down on its strategy to drive further long-term scale benefits. We reiterate our Accumulate rating with a A$27.50 PT.

Qantas Airways Ltd (ASX: QAN)

The broker has initiated coverage on Qantas shares this week. It highlights that FY 2027 is going to be a transitional year, with FY 2028 expected to be higher growth. 

As a result, Morgans has put an accumulate rating and $11.50 price target on the airline operator. It said:

Qantas's post-COVID balance sheet strengthening and cost discipline have positioned it to absorb the current fuel cost shock and consumer softness with genuine resilience. We forecast 2H26 PBT to be down on pcp as fuel and economic conditions bite, with FY27 forecast to deliver a moderate uplift. We view FY27 as a transition year for Qantas with higher growth expected from FY28 onwards as oil prices, refining margins and demand normalise. Structural growth drivers (fleet renewal, Project Sunrise, Loyalty scaling toward FY30 target) remain intact. We initiate coverage with an ACCUMULATE rating and an A$11.50ps price target.

Silver Mines Ltd (ASX: SVL)

Another ASX share that Morgans has initiated coverage on its silver developer Silver Mines.

It is a fan of the company and sees significant potential in its Bowdens Silver Project in New South Wales. This has seen the broker put a speculative buy rating and 40 cents price target on Silver Mines shares, which is more than triple its current share price. It explains:

Silver Mines is advancing the 100%-owned Bowdens Silver Project in the Central West region of NSW, Australia's largest undeveloped silver project and one of the largest primary silver development assets globally, underpinned by a 334Moz AgEq Mineral Resource and 71.7Moz Ag Ore Reserve. Our thesis rests on what we view as an increasingly compelling asymmetry in Bowdens' risk-reward profile, underpinned by exceptional leverage to a strengthening silver price, a technically mature development plan and a more clearly defined permitting pathway. Despite this improving outlook, the stock continues to trade at a material discount to our assessed intrinsic value. 

We see the improving silver market, permitting progress and the approaching DFS collectively driving a period of meaningful value creation. We initiate coverage with a SPECULATIVE BUY recommendation and a target price of A$0.40 per share.
