Over the long haul, the Australian share market has provided returns of around 10% each year on average.
Even though this is impressive, investors should strive for even loftier goals with their investments.
For instance, experts think these ASX 200 stocks might provide returns of at least 30% within the coming year. Below are their recommendations for purchase:
Elders Ltd (
ASX: ELD
)
According to analysts at Bell Potter, the agribusiness firm Elders might be a worthwhile purchase among ASX 200 shares.
The broker believes that the company’s stock holds significant value at present prices. This opinion is bolstered by the upcoming acquisition of Delta Agribusiness, an event they seem certain will materialize.
This contradicts the market’s perception, as per the broker. The market seems to believe that the ACCC will block the deal, potentially leading to a significant increase in the company’s stock price if it actually happens. They stated:
We have maintained our Buy recommendation. The primary factor behind the improvement in our FY25 estimates is anticipated growth in crop protection profit margins (due to cost-of-goods-stability) along with increased livestock activities. Currently, we believe the stock price reflects an assumption that the Delta deal will fall through. Consequently, we consider the ACCC’s report scheduled for May 29th could be a significant short-term trigger for the share price. It’s worth mentioning that approximately $1.60 per share of our target valuation and around 25% of our projected earnings from FY26 to FY27 hinge on the successful acquisition and incorporation of the Delta operation.
Bell Potter maintains a buy recommendation with a $9.10 price forecast for Elders’ stock. Given its present market value of $6.44 per share, this implies an anticipated increase of around 40% could be achievable for shareholders within the coming year.
Light & Wonder Inc
. (
ASX: LNW
)

The brokerage firm has assigned a purchase recommendation along with setting a share price objective at $165.00. This suggests an anticipated increase of approximately 30% in value for shareholders within the coming year.
