If you are looking for new additions to your portfolio, then it could be worth listening to what analysts are saying about the popular ASX 200 shares named below, courtesy of The Bull.
Here's what they are recommending this week:

BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP)
Fairmont Equities thinks that this mining giant could be an ASX 200 share to buy.
It believes commodities markets are still only in the early stages of a bull run, which bodes well for BHP and its share price. It explains:
I believe commodities markets are in the early stages of a bull run, leaving BHP's share price in a prime position to move higher. Copper now generates most of BHP's earnings after it produced almost 2 million tonnes in full year 2026. The company should also benefit from constrained global supplies of copper.
Iron ore is also a significant contributor to full year earnings. The company posted an attributable profit of $US9.8 billion in full year 2026, up 9 per cent on the prior corresponding period. We view any share price dips as a buying opportunity.
CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL)
Over at Red Leaf Securities, its analysts believe CSL shares are a buy this week.
It notes that CSL's outlook is improving and sees scope for its shares to move higher. Red Leaf said:
CSL's recovery is gaining momentum after forecasting underlying profit growth guidance of about 5 per cent in fiscal year 2027. Guidance exceeded market expectations. Immunoglobulin sales improved in the second half of fiscal year 2026 amid the company announcing a further share buy-back of $1.1 billion. The outlook for this global health care company is improving after prolonged underperformance.
CSL shares have risen from $92.24 on June 3 to trade at $179.19 on September 24. Successfully meeting or exceeding its targets leaves room for a potentially higher share price considering the stock was trading above $300 in calendar year 2024.
Woodside Energy Group Ltd (ASX: WDS)
The team at Red Leaf Securities is also positive on energy giant Woodside and has named it as an ASX 200 share to buy.
Red Leaf likes Woodside due to its exposure to elevated energy prices. It explains:
Woodside offers exposure to recent elevated global energy prices amid supply disruptions and continuing Middle East tensions. Stronger realised prices should support near term cash flow and dividends. A major risk is an easing of geopolitical tensions and a corresponding fall in crude oil prices.
However, the company delivered a solid interim result. Operating revenue of $7.446 billion in the first half of 2026 was up 13 per cent on the prior corresponding period. Underlying net profit after tax of $1.334 billion was up 7 per cent. The Scarborough energy project is almost completed.
