Last week saw a number of broker notes hitting the wires once again. Three buy ratings that investors might want to be aware of are summarised below.

Here's why brokers think investors ought to buy them next week:

Allkem Ltd (ASX: AKE)

According to a note out of Macquarie, its analysts have retained their outperform rating and $21.00 price target on this lithium miner's shares. This followed the release of a full year result that was materially ahead of the broker's expectations. In addition, Macquarie highlights that management is guiding to even stronger than expected lithium prices from Olaroz for the first half of FY 2023. The only disappointment was a reduction to its Mt Cattlin production guidance, which has led to a slight revision to Macquarie's earnings estimates. The Allkem share price ended the week at $13.91.

Costa Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: CGC)

A note out of Goldman Sachs reveals that its analysts have retained their buy rating and $3.60 price target on this horticulture company's shares. Goldman was pleased with Costa's first half performance, noting its solid cost absorption relative to peers in the agriculture sector. In addition, it was pleased with the performance of its Chinese joint venture and better than expected growth in high margin genetics licensing. Overall, with its shares changing hands well below historical multiples, the broker believes Costa is attractive in the context of its earnings growth. The Costa share price was fetching $2.79 at Friday's close.

South32 Ltd (ASX: S32)

Analysts at Morgans have retained their add rating but trimmed their price target on this mining giant's shares to $5.50. According to the note, the broker felt South32 delivered a strong full year result, which was in line with consensus estimates. And while Morgans acknowledges that earnings multiples are regularly inconsistent value indicators in resources, it believes that in South32's case, it shows the market is misjudging how much residual earnings power will remain in the business post cycle peak. The South32 share price was trading at $4.23 on Friday.
