There many hundreds of ASX shares that investors can buy, but not many are backed by multiple analysts with buy ratings.
I think it's interesting when an expert calls a stock a buy, but it could be a compelling idea when there are numerous buy ratings.
Based on the positivity of analysts, below could be two of the best ideas to buy right now.

AMP Ltd (ASX: AMP)
AMP is a diversified business that offers superannuation, investments and banking services.
The company recently announced its profit expectations for the 2026 first half result. Underlying net profit after tax (NPAT) is expected to be in the range of between $170 million to $180 million.
It outlined a number of elements from that update. In its China partnerships, it's expecting to see a stronger contribution with a 24% rise of profit to approximately $56 million.
AMP's investment income impacts of $5 million have been "favourable" following interest rate increases, compared to the first half of 2025.
It also highlighted a $5 million favourable impact of the North guarantee in the platforms.
The business also noted it was recognising approximately $13 million of a carried interest relating to a partial sale of remaining assets within a legacy fund that was retained from the sale of AMP Capital's international infrastructure equity business.
According to CMC Invest, there have been seven ratings within the last three months with, four buys and three holds.
JB Hi-Fi Ltd (ASX: JBH)
Another ASX share that is highly backed by analysts right now is electronics and appliance business JB Hi-Fi.
It now operates four different businesses – JB Hi-Fi Australia, JB Hi-Fi New Zealand, The Good Guys and E&S. The company has excelled at having very productive sales floors, efficient costs and offering customers competitive prices.
Given how Australia has become increasingly digital, JB Hi-Fi operates in a compelling segment of the retail market and has a strong market presence.
In addition, the business has regularly increased its annual dividend for investors – the payout has increased almost every year since 2013. That's a great track record for investors focused on passive income.
In terms of analyst backing, according to CMC Invest, there have been 10 ratings on the business in the last three months, with five buy ratings, four buy ratings and one sell rating. Based on the projection on CMC Invest, the business is forecast to pay a grossed-up dividend yield of 6.3% including franking credits and 4.4% excluding franking credits.
