It has been another busy week for many of Australia's top brokers. This has led to the release of a number of broker notes.

Three broker buy ratings that you might want to know more about are summarised below. Here's why brokers think these ASX shares are in the buy zone right now:

Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS)

According to a note out of Morgans, its analysts have retained their add rating and $3.40 price target on this lithium miner's shares. This follows news that the company has signed an agreement to acquire Latin Resources Ltd (ASX: LRS) in an all-scrip deal. Morgans notes that the market doesn't appear pleased with the deal due to the weak lithium environment. However, its analysts are supportive of the counter-cyclical acquisition and believe it could deliver strong results in the future if the miner successfully develops Latin Resources' hard-rock Salinas Lithium Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Especially given management's expectations that its costs will be similar to the Pilgangoora Operation. The Pilbara Minerals share price is trading at $2.82 on Friday.

Telstra Group Ltd (ASX: TLS)

A note out of Goldman Sachs reveals that its analysts have reiterated their buy rating on this telco giant's shares with an improved price target of $4.35. The broker was pleased with Telstra's results and particularly its improving NBN margins. Combined with the growth of its mobile business, the broker believes Telstra is well-placed to deliver earnings in line with its estimates next year. It also believes this gives it the capacity to support a dividend increase to 19 cents per share in FY 2025. And with Goldman seeing a strong underlying free cash flow growth profile across FY24-27, this bodes well for future dividend payments. The Telstra share price is fetching $3.95 at the time of writing.

Treasury Wine Estates Ltd (ASX: TWE)

Another note out of Morgans reveals that its analysts have retained their add rating on this wine giant's shares with a trimmed price target of $14.80. This follows the release of a FY 2024 result that was in line with expectations. Morgans was also pleased to see that management has reaffirmed its growth targets for its luxury wine. This is important because it believes that if the company delivers on these targets, it will underpin strong earnings growth through to FY 2027. Overall, while consumer headwinds could act as a headwind, the broker believes the stage is set for Treasury Wine to outperform in the coming years. The Treasury Wine share price is trading at $12.32 today.
