Are you on the lookout for some bargain buys? If you are, then it could be worth checking out these ASX shares listed below that Morgans thinks are cheap.

Here's what the broker is saying about these stocks:

IDP Education Ltd (ASX: IEL)

Morgans is tipping this language testing and student placement company as a cheap ASX share to buy.

While the broker expects FY 2025 to be a very difficult year for the company, it believes this is the bottom of the cycle and it will be onwards and upwards from here. It explains:

IEL expects the international student market (new admissions) to be down ~20-25% in FY25. IEL expect to outperform this via meaningful market share gains. We think FY25 is likely to be the trough year for 'student flows', impacted by tighter policies and the associated uncertainty. We expect IEL's earnings to fall ~12%, with some benefits from pricing; market share gains; and solid cost control. We upgrade to an ADD rating.

Last week, Morgans upgraded its shares to an add rating with an $18.20 price target.

Airtasker Ltd (ASX: ART)

Another ASX share that could be cheap according to Morgans is small jobs marketplace Airtasker.

It was pleased to see the company become cashflow positive in FY 2025 and believes this is "the likely new norm" now. Commenting on its results, it said:

With the recent quarterly trading update, ART had largely pre-released key operating metrics, with the FY24 result itself largely per expectations. However, it was a resilient performance by the marketplace overall, with an improved revenue profile despite top of funnel (GMV) headwinds. The business also achieved its planned target of being free cashflow positive (+A$1.2m) for the full year. We maintain our ADD rating.

Morgans has an add rating and 52 cents price target on its shares.

Alliance Aviation Ltd Services (ASX: AQZ)

Finally, Morgans thinks that this airline is "just too cheap" and sees it as an ASX share to buy now.

The broker was pleased with the company's record performance in FY 2024 and expects it to build on this next year. It said:

AQZ reported another record result in FY24, with underlying NPBT up 52% on the pcp and slightly ahead of MorgansF/consensus. We forecast earnings growth momentum (PBT growth of 10%) to continue into FY25 driven by deploying more E190 aircraft and increases in utilisation. We back this founder led management team with a strong track record to continue to execute from here. We maintain our ADD rating.

Morgans has an add rating and $4.10 price target on its shares.
